In this video we visit Bridlington Caravan and Motorhome Club Site with Claire trying to get me to quit wild Van life and go for sites with facilities like toilets and showers. Watch our adventure in our diy camper van St Christopher of Atlantis.
VAN GEAR
We use an EcoFlow Delta Max 2 with solar panels for our electricity on the road. We never have to plug into campsite electricity supplies during the summer months. You can find them here amzn.to/43Mm8CQ
We use these lights in the van amzn.to/42WVXbq - they are USB powered, last ages on a charge and they are detachable so you can take them to the toilet block at night time.
This is our trusty diesel heater which we've had zero issues with amzn.to/46fVG6i - it is very warm and extremely economical. We upgraded some of the parts which can be found here -
Fuel line amzn.to/3PDxTr5
Exhaust amzn.to/46cammI
Turret amzn.to/3PmLrH9
Drill bit for Turret fitting amzn.to/3NEEPCT
Hole Saw for Turret fitting amzn.to/3NjmR7i
Heat Proof Sealant amzn.to/3Nb40eG
Claire uses the heater in combination with this oversized hoodie which keeps her warm even in the Alps in winter amzn.to/42JG6Nf
Our water tap is USB powered, lasts ages and doesn't let us down amzn.to/46aamDN
Our sink is just a sink but works well amzn.to/445I2kb
We use 2 Jerry Cans for fresh and waste water amzn.to/3PlSQGv
These are our blackout curtains that are light weight and block the light brilliantly amzn.to/3XcCpyp
Our windows have this stuff across them amzn.to/3NDn0Uv - we keep them closed with these press studs - amzn.to/3qRqUAm
This handy humidity and temperature monitor is good for keeping an eye on the interior amzn.to/3CDw5Xi
These are hands down the best travel towels. They are small to pack and work like magic at drying us off amzn.to/3JmDjCH
When we cook in the van we use our beloved Ridge Monkey which can be found here amzn.to/3PDxa9l and my old Trangia Stove which is bullet proof. They can be found here amzn.to/3PkRRX6
We use an iPad for navigation which is awesome. We mount this over our existing radio with these mounts amzn.to/46qcYxF - they are really good and we haven't had any accidents.
The van is insulated with this insulation amzn.to/3XiVFKM - Claire is usually cold in the house but finds that she is always warm in the van.
We used this for sound deadening the van which has made it so much quieter on the road amzn.to/3Jm8EFr
CAMERA GEAR
Our footage is shot on a GoPro which we highly recommend for travel as they fit into your pocket and your footage is stabilised. These are well worth having and are way better than your phone camera. You can find these here amzn.to/3pl9pb3 - because we use external microphones we use a media mod that allows this. You can find this here amzn.to/3NCxR13
You may notice that we have really good low-light footage in our recent videos. This has been made possible with the Sony ZV-E10 camera. It's a vlogging camera with a swing-out screen and gives excellent quality images without being too big and heavy. You can find these here amzn.to/448TED2 and the lens that we use here amzn.to/3Nj1brU - the lens is extremely important for low light.
One of the problems with the Sony camera is it is stabilised as well as the GoPro so we use this gimbal when out to smooth out the shots.
We use a lot of batteries when out and about so we have added these extra batteries with chargers to our collection amzn.to/3NDVtm4
This is our tripod which is great as it doubles as a monopod amzn.to/3p3IGzW - it's lightweight and easy to carry around.
I love our camera bag, it's easy to arrange things how you want to with individual compartments, it's got a waterproof cover and you can strap the tripod to it amzn.to/3qRa0Si
We use Comica C3 wireless microphones so that you can all hear us clearly. They are a budget mic but really good for capturing dialogue as we are out and about. You can find these here amzn.to/3Nh32xF
These memory cards work really well for our 4K footage amzn.to/3Jmkj7e
