We tried out a CAMPERVAN with NO TOILET! - How did our trip go?
For our second campervan trial we rented a VW California Beach camper. Is this style of vanlife for us? Let´s see how we got on with this van. We visited the Mazarron area of Murcia, Spain. Join us and our 2 gorgeous dogs for a look around this beautiful part of España.

zhlédnutí 5KPřed 4 měsíci
We rented a camper van and finally took the first steps to making our campervan travel dream a reality. Join me for a look at where we went and how it went. Did we enjoy it or was it a complete disaster? Is vanlife for us? how did the dogs get on? Everybody has to start somewhere and this was our first time. After living in Benidorm for 20 years we now hope to see and show you more of the Valen...

Hi Lucy totally different from Benidorm but beautiful in a different kind of way .Guadamar is a favorite of mine . Van pricy enough and loved your dogs still Lucy the whole family desperately missing our dog and always will a beautiful Cocker Spaniel. Called Teddy. All the best to both of you. David
Awww it is devastating 💔 thinking if you all xx
Thank you Lucy. David
Great relaxing vid on the more genteel side of the coast total polar opposite of the Benidorm strip..
absolutely 👍
Excellent vlog so relaxing for you both
Thanks, yes it was a lovely chill time 😊
A'reyt Lucy. I finally took a look at this channel. What a great trip. My girlfriend and I looked at renting a camper at the Yorkshire Show, but having stayed near Benidorm with folk with a seven seater, I bought one. I used it for trips to Cornwall with the dogs, but just rented a caravan or bungalow on a site down there, which worked out cheaper and safer with two dogs. We never did drive down to Spain as planned though. Your videos kept us going through lockdown and we just had a trip with the next generation of dogs back to Cornwall, just in a roomy car, with cages for dog safety. Their first time in the sea. Your two are similarly size and so well behaved. I would have to share that ham.
Thanks for checking out the channel Alan.. 😀 Hulk and Bertie are good boys, but they have their moments haha and they'll do anything for a bit of ham 😆
@@LucyYoungTBE I was imagining you doing videos like "Endless Adventure". They have been touring bits of US I toured on Greyhound years back. First time I came to Benidorm to meet my girlfriend was with my rucksack from that trip as hand luggage. Everyone was like "Where's your case?"
@alansmithee8831 Once we get our own van we can delve more into some adventurous trips. At the mo, we're just testing out as many as we can we short trips to see whats right for us before we take the plunge and buy. It's an expensive mistake if you don't get it right. There's so many places I want to go in Spain, loads of fab off the radar kind of places and some quite scary places like Canada real. It will be an eye opening channel eventually. I'll probably change the name too im not keen on where to next but it kinda fits what we're doing right now
@@LucyYoungTBEOut in the woods in Ontario we came across a massive bear. Our Canadian host said she had them on the family farm all the time as a kid and just started taking photos. The van we went to Cuidad Juárez in broke down on the way back through the desert in Texas. We hired cars for the next trip, but our host warned us of deer, saying they were not small British Bambi and would come through the windscreen like a bull if hit. Hiring a van seems sensible. Endless Adventure did in England. In US they restored one to save costs and provide video content during lockdown.
@alansmithee8831 British bambi 🤣 that's hilarious. Bet it was quite scary though 😬
If missus is rag 0:19 ged up your in big trouble 😂😂😂😂😢😢😢
🤣
Glad your enjoying your vacation Lucy ill bring you some doc leaves for you next vacation trip😂
@@chrisgolding9675 hahaha thank you 🤣
Didn't know u had another channel just subscribed 👍 defo pop in triangle bar when im there in July
Thanks Peter, I've not put much into it yet, but I will. Hope you enjoy 😊
@@LucyYoungTBE will do 👍
The old VW campers never had a pooper. You don't need one.
Haha yeah for a couple days it's fine but when we do longer trips we wanna stay off grid for long periods of time so ya gotta have somewhere to go!
The price for taking Hulk and Bertie along was steep! How can they justify that? Love the channel!
very steep. apparently they have to do an anti allergy clean after. I think it's just to put people off taking dogs to be honest x

Loved it ❤
Thanks ❤
We all need our rest, relax and rewind place, looks like youve found yours 😊 And im with Hulk... just a paddle is enough 😂
Haha aww he loves a paddle, Bertie would have had a full on swim if we'd have got in with him. Was still a bit nippy for us though 😊
Thanks for sharing your trip with us xx
Thanks for watching Carol xx
Those ‘sculptures’ were effect of wind etc on sandstone I believe…a lovely little vlog especially the boys having fun x
Thanks Ian 😊
Ahhhhh that's one of my favourite places to go to. There used to be a stage by the rocks
How cool!! x
Thanks for taking us along.
you're welcome, hope you enjoyed 😊
Just watched all of whats on this new channel... really good Lucy, Helen and the stars of the show, Bertie and Hulk😂 but ive been left in limbo, did lucy leave the umbrella or pack it 😂
Hahaha i packed it, thanks for watching. I'll be putting some more vids on here soon 😊
Nice.
Thanks Phillip ,
Where's to next Lucy? I know a lovely car park next door to me.
Oh brilliant 🤩 I will definitely follow your channel
Thanks Collette, I'll be uploading a video of our last trip soon xx
We never eat goulash with that kind of fried dough, which is called lángos.
We also tried lángos, which was lovely. was a different dough to this though. i didn't think they were the same ?
Hi Lucy have a look at ( Northerners on tour ) maybe if you want to see how they vlog and look forward to seeing you on your new adventures Johnny and jane scoots and soul x
Thanks 👍
I've just caught up with you after your first trip. Cartagena looks awesome ❤ Another place to add to our Spain trip list for the future. Thanks for sharing!
you're welcome, definitely worth a look that area. We'll be going back soon but a little bit further down the coast 😊
Don't do heights, yikes.
Haha aww it wasn't that high 😬
Promo`SM

Thanks Lucy, that was a great video, looked a good experience and will look forward to seeing more,me and Jan are over 2nd April for a week hope to bump into you, take care, well done, 🥰👋xx
see you then 😊
Hiya. Lucy and Helen. I loved how you showed your trip. Love the sunset pictures with Bertie and Hulk. Nothing better. A nice long walk with your favorite people. Beautiful pictures and clips. They sound like a great company to use. A dog car booster cushion might help with that. And make their journey a little better. A great way to work out what sort of style van will work for you all. Great advice for others. All the videos you make are great. I love this format. Definitely do a bit of both. Like Shared. Have a great Friday. Thank you for sharing
Awww thanks for the feedback hun thats really useful. dog booster seat, i didn't even know that was a thing! Will definitely look into that. Yep sunset walks with the furbabies are precious. Glad you liked the photos and thanks for watching xxx
@@LucyYoungTBE
Hiya. Lucy and Helen. Lovely van. Your fur babies look comfortable. Hiya Bertie and Hulk. So cute. I use a seat belt. Clip on the headrest and to their harness. Exciting times.
Bertie and Hulk said hello 😊👋 🐾❤️
Just watching. Your latest video.Something I would love to try with our fur babies@@LucyYoungTBE halfway through
Hiya. My bell was not on, so I changed it. You are brave. I could not get near the edge, let alone go over it. LOL. Happy Thursday.
Haha x
Great channel. Shared on my Community Page
Thank you 😊 hopfully see you soon? xx
Wow Lucy. That looked amazing. 👍 you did extremely well for your first time. I bet it was very exhausting though, I understand how you have to really concentrate when driving somewhere new, especially in a camper van 🚍 Cartagene looked absolutely beautiful I'd love to check out that place with all the old ruins. Fab. Can't wait for your next trip away & maybe see a different camper van. 😁 I thought the price seemed OK. But like you I'd be petrified of not getting the deposit back.😂 Thanks for sharing Lucy. And well done.. 👍😊🚍😎 xx
I think because we'd worked ourselves up so much about this first trip that added to the mental tiredness too Next time we should be more relaxed from the off hopefully xx
Hope you will venture up our way (inland from Valencia). Let us know if you are coming and maybe we could meet up somewhere.
I'm sure we will be at some point. it would be lovely to see you 😊
Beautiful
Thank you for the video, Lucy. It looked like you had an amazing time. Looking forward to your adventure 🙂
Thanks for watching! We can't wait for the next one ❤️
Glad you helen and the dogs had a lovely time away in the van you visited some nice places loved the pictures of the sunsets lucy they are gorgeous xx
We are both proper sunset chasers haha, can't wait to show you more in the future xx
@LucyYoungTBE cant wait to see more lucy xx
You have done a good job for your first attempt!! Good luck for your future adventures!x
Thanks 😊
Great video! Love the amphitheatre amazing sunrise/sunsets! Dogs looked like they enjoyed it!! La Manga looked a bit unusual. X Glad you coped well! Good luck for your future trips x
The dogs loved it they were so tired when we got back they slept for 2 days straight haha. they loved the long walks and getting to be with us 24/7 ❤️🐾
Amazing Lucy good luck with everything the scenery was absolutely amazing can’t wait to see more on the next trip
Thanks Thomas 😊
looking forward to seeing more, love the idea of just getting in a motorhome and travelling. xx
We're so excited to do more 😊
Hi lucy 👋so glad you enjoyed your first trip and look forward to more 😊 great footage and i want your dogs🐶🐶😂they are so cute ❤❤❤ great stuff lucy👍xxxx
Haha they are too cute, they get away with murder lol xx
@@LucyYoungTBE bless them 🐶🐶❤❤ xx
Love the content, I don't think I could have been so relaxed though, with the 750 euro deposit given the dents and scratches I've seen on parked cars in the 'Dorm!
Haha yeah i would have been more worried if we'd had to park it round here 😅
Been to Puerto de Mazarron quite a few times. The restaurants and bars out by the harbour, facing the sea and beach are a great place to chillax. Viggos is a great restaurant on the promenade. Very busy. Many good menu del dia options in other restaurants also. We love the wok buffet in the town. Go to Bolnuevo during the trip, also Lorca and Aguilas. Never been to Totano so would be good to see it if you're going😊
Thats great thanks so much for the tips x
Good trip from Mazarron to Mojacar along the coast, check Bolnuevo rocks
sounds good 👍
Excellent Lucy , glad you enjoyed , Dont forget in the future when your more settled and venture further afield then Seville is a MUST
Yes definitely, Seville and San Sebastian and the top 2 on my list for trips when we start venturing further 😀
Ahhhhh it was great to see you both again and glad you enjoyed Cabo de Palos. La Manga is only open during Easter and summer season sadly but it's hectic then. Glad you got to Cartagena and Azohía. Maybe next time try an overcab bed type van xx
Id like to see it in the Summer, bet its got godd atmosphere x
Loved this Lucy, Linda and I just watched it quickly before coming to the match. I'm sure we'll chat there. As you know, we are also newby campers and related so much with your issues. Broke the toilet cassette a couple of days ago whilst in Moraira. See you at the match xxx :)
Oh dear 💩 haha
Never like La Manga strip. Went 3 times and it was as boring as the first time. The views of Puerto de Mazarron on the way down from the hills are beautiful.
looking forward to exploring that area next time 😁
Great video Lucy , well done for your first van life trip .glad you enjoyed it 😁
Thanks hun, can't wait for the next one 😁
Glad you both enjoyed yourselves and looking forward to you're next adventure 🚍🚍🚍🚍😂❤ X
It was fab, laready planning the next one 😁👍
@@LucyYoungTBE good for you sweetheart live life to the max. X
Hungarian cuisine is simple but very tasty,we use a few ingredients and paprika of course. Everyone I talked to said they liked Hungarian food. Every time I go home I buy 1 kg of paprika,because what they sell outside of Hungary are trash.
we loved it!
Big UK van community in Benidorm -plenty of scope for site and park up reviews 😉
Looks like you have the makings of a great channel Lucy! You, Helen, two cute doggies in Spain -what more does anyone need to watch -looking forward to your travels 👍🏻
Aww thanks, hope you like the content! x
