  • This time we realise our van keeps breaking as we lose the use of our oven and the cupboard doors no longer shut!
    Is it the bumpy Scottish roads ruining our van?
    We also show you some fabulous scenery in Harris and Skye

    "Bloody long walk!" You mean an extra two or three hundred metres. Poor you. If you check your map. If you had turned right at the car park entrance you could have gone off road and driven your van all the way up to the top of the Old Man and it would have saved any walking completely. Just a suggestion.

    As my Sis lives in Shrewsbury, and now also has a Campervan (she's in Scotland right now for 3 weeks), I was interested in the Shrewsbury Show which you attended. Since watching your take on the show, i've watched videos from 4 other content creators who attended, and in three of them, either you or your dogs were seen..., just a useless piece of info I suppose, that I thought i'd mention. Oh well, now lets see what's awaiting me in this video.
    Your vids have so far been, very easy on the eye to watch, and your style, of presenting is easy and laid back to watch and listen to, no matter who's on cam.
    I'm enjoying your work and am glad I subbed you some time ago. Thanks for all so far, and carry on being you. Greets from an expat in Switzerland, Steve.!

    We look after dogs for a living and understand your consternation around dogs attacking randomly.
    We would suggest because Dolly and Pippa have long fur around their eyes and head then other dogs cannot read the body language.
    We hope this helps, and maybe alleviate any further issues

    Hi sorry from wrong video. I was wondering if you have fitted a compressor fridge . My Malibu camper van has one. Found a few issues to think about. We thought it would have 2 batteries fitted. But apparently it’s an extra for second battery. As the battery are not connected in parallel when fitted the second battery is a stand alone battery. For a back for your fridge . As it’s 12v .
    Therefore I think for this country with less sunshine a large lithium may be a better plan .
    We shall see as I’m going to fit a large lithium under seat 260 amp hour . Hope this is of some use to you .
