  • 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.

    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

    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.

      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.
