Yes yes, we know we have a campervan to use, but we also like backpacking! The last few years have stopped that for obvious reasons – we were supposed to be in Taiwan in February/March 2020…. Also life gets in the way and one of our motos is to “to…
Well. Wasn’t 2021 another crap year. Not as bad as 2020, but for us at least, 2021 wasn’t brilliant. OK, we had 75 nights away in the campervan and did lots of things and we survived Covid free, but the year lacked the usual socialising and excitement of previous years…
Well we have now had over 60 nights away (video made 10 nights ago!) – and thought it was time to leave some feedback on how things are. Good & Updated Layout Reliability Usability Refillable gas system Garage lining Bad & thing not needed and to consider Floor adhesive colour…

Blimey. Reminds me how tough it is! But this time, my not-so-young apprentice is helping, so thats really good. Doesn’t save much time as there are a lot of lessons on new tools and the like, but its great to have room to work as a team. We were supposed…
Blimey – this should’ve been a mornings job, but it took all day, hopefully our experiences will help! As van is new, we didn’t want to make any changes that may affect warranty, so we bought a Brink tow bar and 7-pin dedicated wiring kit from PF Jones. Top tip:…
