some people use a heat gun on the plastics to restore them to their original colour

Use a butane torch on the black bumpers to make them dark again, Google it

Another cheap option for the bonnet is to have it wrapped, there are several places round the south coast that can do this cheaply and match the colour, or if your brave enough take the bonnet off and rub it down and spray yourself - the fiat spray can match from Halfords is a good match and will look 100 times better for hardly any cost at all Great video, love seeing You guys take an honest approach to motor homing, and on a budget which is refreshing to see, we like you use free places where we can here in Spain 🇪🇸

Great video

Why did you call your van Stampy?

Look like the curtain rail is across all your window. Just need to remove track stops to put in full size curtains. I just use them part open with a blackout blind down a bit to keep sun out of eyes and off computer screen. This also lets in some light and air in summer.

We found that if we were uncomfortable in an area, we would turn round and go back out! Unless you are booked into a site in the south if France, the whole area is very motorhome unfriendly. We now prefer the West Coast of France (Lacanau is a beautiful area) or inland towns and villages.

Another tip, leave fridge open when not in use to stop mould. Some fridges have a safety catch on the door which you pill out, leaving about an inch gap round the door to let air circulate.

I'd trade in your kids! Be prepared for a list of jobs to do everyone you come back from a trip! 😂😂

A tip! Invest in the wing mirror covers. You can get them on white! They are worth their weight in gold! We have had our mirrors hit about 6 times since we bought our van, a couple of times glass has popped out and these are easily replaced but has saved damage. to the wing mirrors themselves.

Glad to see that window finally repaired. Did you get a clean air sticker for the fridge, gosh what a mess that was.

Daz, we had the same issue with our 2008 Motorhome best solution is a bonnet bra ( not joking), cheaper than painting thanks Jim

Did you have a link for your mirrors ? Mine are black, so many different prices on ebay

Fiat Peugeot citroen always have paint peel on there vans water based paint to save environment is the culprit all the best donny

lol 😅Daz is so excited about his new wing mirror his tool kit contains some fancy stuff cutlery 😂hilarious but he gets the jobs done to be fair well done 🎉

Hollywood should hire him for a Dracula movie. I'm sure he will will generate a lot of "Fangs" 😜😅😅 and it will be something he will sink his tooth into 😅😅😅

Loved your solo video Lynsey, looks like you had a blast. The Buzz is gorgeous

Well done, you did what you thought was right. I'm following another couple who, on their first day in Europe had their dog attacked by another on a beach and spent the next 3days at hospitals (because the wife was bitten) and the dog ended up having to have an op at a vets (once they found one!) very scary. I must admit the French do not seem to bother disciplining their dogs and let them run riot in places where there are people, children and other dogs without any thought. Good on the site owner making them move on.

Yep, joys of motorhoming. We come home from every trip with a list of "jobs" to rectify. We have 2x 11kg Gaslow bottles. Easy to fill in Europe but very hard in UK. Looking at trying to find a way to change to propane (red/orange bottles). Campinggaz is way too expensive! Hope your trip is not too dishearting. We've just come back from a 5wk trip to France a week early due to weather. We used "Camping Car Park Aires quite a bit, but a lot more expensive than the old 5euro sites we were used to.

What do you do with all your personal belongings when you’re renting out your home?

Lovely video guys x

Come over to the Isle of Wight. We live in west wight, gorgeous beaches and properties x

😮Did you get the window fixed? Thx

It must be expensive for you I think you do terrifically well. if you do find a property with a bit of renovation that’s needed I think it would do well on CZcams although I know it’s a lot of work editing etc. A lot of people seem interested in that and it may generate some good income for you. You may get some sponsored gadgets also to help you kerp goats down. See you in the next one

Looking forward to end of France trip. Then the repair and upgrade videos. Hoping for an LPG one as my LPG system paid for it self in less than two years.

So lovely seeing this update and your home ❤ we have stayed there about one year ago and our three boys are still saying how much they loved it! Should you ever plan on having a trip to Germany, our driveway could be yours for a while 😊

So much to see and do in Dorset hopefully we off Friday week to charmouth for my birthday just renovated a 1996 ci motorhome mot on Thursday great vid guys all the best donny

I didn’t notice he had spelt it wrong lol 😂 it is a bit of a mouthful. The AirBNB must be extra work for you Bee but if it is generating some good Income for you it’s worth it. Everything is so expensive and you are supporting a young family. I really like your home see you in the next one.

The Lake District or the Cambrian way Wales

Thankyou for sharing this update. Lovely to hear from you. You are a lovely family. I am sure you will find your dream home. Dave the pheasant was hilarious. Lovely setting very peaceful. Cool bike Daz makes me laugh. I have a female greyhound rescued her five years ago she is just the same any noise spooks her. I think they are a highly sensitive breed. I really look forward to your next trip in stampy and I am sure Daz will be operational again keeping us amused with the latest DIY disaster lol 😂

Sammy is so cute 🥰

And whilst at the shops in Pont Neuf, you didn't visit the magnificent Stade Rochelais rugby stadium. Never mind, enjoy your stay around here. Isle de Ré is just perfect for cycling.

🥰

Hey Daz, a Stevie P tip from a ex WAFU. Buy B&Q rubble sack and keep in the van. If you lose a window they are a one time fix as super strong. Maybe go to the french version of BQ whatever that is 😂 Keep up the what3words, kept a few for future use, thank you.

Hi, can I just say bee, I love your daily walks and talks. So informative and a pleasure to watch thank you. 😊

The cathedral of Strasbourg is breathtaking in its size and attention to detail! Thanks very much for this vlog!

I suppose every city has its bad areas. Overall this is a pretty city. You have certainly visited some beautiful places on this marathon trip.

❤

as an American traveling from Germany in 1962 to Paris, as a 8 year old, the lightning storms are one of the beautiful things I remember of France. at 70 years old, I still love storms!!

I drove a bandbus for many years (basically an overgrown RV) , I always used an electrocuter with a fluorescent bulb inside behind a grill , like the type you see in butchers shops . I bought it at a garden centre , they're brilliant and clear all flying insects including mosquitos

Hi good point about the dog Nobody should be intimidated by any dogs please view the vlog by Ruth Aisling when She was attacked by a large dog in france it might be an idea to carry a pepper spray.

We have a statue of Liberty in Cleguerec and Gourin, here in Brittany. There are other's in France!

I think you have to be licensed and trained to own a Rotty here in France. They also need to be muzzled when out and about. This is why they legged it immediately, I reckon!

Thanks. Went back and watched what I slept through last night. That painted wall, amazing. See what you mean about the service point, we carry gloves and spray cleaner to wipe the hose end, always run a little water first before putting into the van. When I got to the view down the Canal, done that on a jigsaw.

🥰
