I mostly use a portable induction hob via AC power. I do also have a camping gas stove which I use if I'm able to cook outside or at least have the windows/doors open. I try and make everything in one pot to save on washing up. I have to get creative 🤣

@@wegailygadabout …..my little van is almost done , not as nice and homely as yours but it’ll get there 😁 thanks again for sharing 👍🍻

Awesome! I would love to see the end result!

Ha! Thanks. I'm having a lot of fun with the Insta360 X3 camera (now I understand how it works!)

They were so much fun to make. Kind of makes me want to have a tie dye party! 🎉

I've made a list of them all here. They are mostly from a Japanese company called Oink Games. storefront.throne.com/wegailygadabout/episode-16-board-games-i-play-in-my-van (ps. I do get a small commission, at no cost to you, should you buy any of them through this link)

And you! 😘 It was such a lovely chill weekend 🎉

Thank you! 🎉😍🤸‍♀️

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks so much for watching. Next episode will allow more of the show and what I got up to away from the field of dreams!

Poor Sadie has very sore paws and is having to wear special socks to stop her chewing them 😭

@@wegailygadabout 🫂🫂🫂🤞Hopefully they'll heal quickly.

Yes Dovedale. We didn't actually go across the stones, we walked in the river instead. Much quicker 🤣 see you at Vanlife!

Thank you so much 😍 I'm so glad you enjoyed it. It's a truly lovely walk (but maybe not in a heat wave!)

Thanks you for watching Henry. I'm so excited for my Scotland trip, I can't wait to take you around all the places I visit 😃

It was stunning. Such a lovely break. Highly recommend!

Ha! More of an OF video rather than YT I thinks 🤣 hope you weren't too disappointed 😬

@@wegailygadabout while I am slightly depraved. I am able to enjoy regular stuff. It looks like a charming location. I may well take my wife there. Thanks for making the video and sharing your trip

They are covered to keep the front cover in place more than anything and to stop frost on cold nights. I’m glad you liked Sadie Cam, I need to work on the angles a bit but it has potential! Hayfever is THE WORST! Must remember to bring meds next time. I also have 20+ insect bites on my feet and legs. Stupid nature!

Huzzah! Well that's something at least. Shame you can't use the app though as it's great for when you can't get to the power bank. Was lovely to see you and get to know you better. I will definitely go back to Tackeroo at some point. Was a lovely little break.

Yes I left it at home 😭 As soon as I parked up I realised I should've brought it with me. Next time!

Yes. They have hard standing where you do have to park uniform, but I liked that you could easily form a little circle with friends in the grass and tree area.

She really was. Luckily she brought most of it home in her fur 🤣

I'm excited too! There's lots to see and with a month of travel we are going to do a nice slow route. Only a few hours driving a day max.

Not yet. The weather's been too awful to venture out. But hopefully it'll be nicer now and I can go out for a few days and explore and sleep out.

Yes she is. 🎶 Mud mud glorious mud! 🎵

Glad you think so and thank you for watching 🤗

Yay! 💫

Thank you so much 😀 It’s so nice being able to stretch out on a bed! Now I have to paint the cupboard door!

😊 thank you. Being able to lie out is such a relief. Now I am trying to work out how to paint the cupboad door

You are so kind. I am very lucky to have great parents who help me out with all this. Mum did such a fantastic job making me a my bed covers. She’s a genius!

Thank you! 😊I can’t wait to get out again either. The current terrible weather (damn you Storm Kathleen!) has kept me inside and made me very sad. I have some big hikes planned but I need less boggy weather

@@wegailygadabout …..it’s been a horrible wet long winter , It’s nearly over though 😁🍻

Next year I'd love to do a community meetup there! There was so much more that we didn't get to see and do as well.

It was really lovely, will be back next year!

The foil part is most effective in the summer month when heat from the sun's rays needs to be reflected out. In the winter the bit that will help the most is the bubble wrap mid layer which holds in the heat. Regardless of whether the internal foil is covered or not the bubble wrap is still doing its job. The fact that they are made larger than the window means they cover the edges of the window which is where the most heat is lost. Keeping the foil out internally would only be beneficial if you also had a large heat source going for a long time, such as a diesel heater, and a much bigger area to keep warm.

Yep she's super good at doing a "halp", little bugger

Thank you! Jez is looking really good now!

There's one in a few weeks where there's a lot of time in her. I rip out her bed layout and update a lot of stuff. Still need to paint her...

@@wegailygadabout exciting to look forward to 🥰

It was a very nice show. Not too busy, especially for a Saturday and we got super lucky with the weather

Hopefully we will get next year 🙂@@wegailygadabout

That would be a great use of the massive production line because it would allow everyone to enjoy the lifestyle not just rich people! How the heck do people afford £60k minimum for a campervan!? That's at least 3x the deposit on a home. Madness!

@@wegailygadabout …. I suppose we can dream 😁 , I’m like you I like to look for ideas for my own mini van conversion . I would rather have my little van and sunshine than an expensive camper van in the rain . 💐🍻

Me too! I love Jez. I love that I got to design her, and paint her, and there's not another one like her anywhere. Also that she's so old no-one will ever try and steal her! 🤣🤣

@@wegailygadabout 😂😂😂 she looks very homely too , and that’s all I want in my little van 👍🍻

She is! I've got a bit of painting to finish in her after some building last week. Just need some good weather!
