Well, as people still go on at us thinking we’re never going away (!) – we never normally mention mini UK trips which the NV200 is perfect for. To quieten the naysayers – here is a “typical” mini trip for us! The NV, as ever, was perfect. Small enough; big…
Over the last few weeks, we’ve met various friends who have said “Haven’t you used the van this year – your blog is quiet!”. Hmmm. Actually yes, we’ve had >50 nights away this year already – we’ve just not blogged/bored everyone about it! But as everyone thinks we’re doing nothing,…

TPMS is Tyre Pressure Management System – and it is a system that monitors your tyres. Last week, the wife was driving the car that is equipped with TPMS, and for the first time ever the alarm went off. She called me (hands free!) and I said it could be…
Our NV200 has 2x “100AH” leisure batteries, and these are maintained via a 120W solar charger and CTEK D250S MPPT & B2B smart charger, and generally are maintained to a high voltage all the time and never flat. In the summer, the batteries are full by 9/10am from the solar…

Sweden was another new country to us, and one that we’d heard mixed things about, generally that there is not a huge amount to see and we should spend more time in Norway! So our expectations were low. But due to the weather being crap in northern Norway, and Sweden…
We didn’t know much about Norway, and we didn’t really have many expectations. We’ve known enough people doing similar trips to know it isn’t that tough, but still didn’t know many answers before we left. So some of our thoughts:- Food and entertainment is very expensive. Think 2-3x UK prices…
