Camping goes wrong, Berlingo almost crashed. Adventure! 

All went a bit HubNut!!

Edgehill first battle of English civil war

Yeah, don't cheap out on tyres, especially on a tow vehicle. I like all seasons, and fitted Falken to my Berlingo - good mid-tier option that's tailored to wet weather over ultimate winter performance. Has worked well for me for the last couple of years yer in wayuls 👍

Although I´m sorry for you, having had such an awful night, it made an entertaining video. Very glad accident could have been avoided.

The worse week for weather in close history in the south and Hubnut goes camping ❤❤ well done mate

Scary moment with Bella there - but it's worth spending extra on decent tyres for a towing car. Remember, it's only a few square inches of rubber that separate you from oblivion... hope Rustival went well. I'm at Gaydon next Saturday for something completely different. The "rain on a tent" was worthy of Andy and Kent Survival.

Thankfully my days like this, under canvas and in all weathers, are behind me, much as I enjoyed them very much. Sympathies aplenty, Ian.

There's moral here; don't go camping!

Absolutely brilliant video ian ❤👍glad you managed to sort bob out brilliant

Maybe try to get some proper van tires, since you use the loading capacity regularly.

Oh dear Ian you must have been soaked. Glad you got it sorted. Looking forward to your rustival video.

I’m not the only one to be reminded of “Carry On Camping “ I think. Once you get your pole up you’ve got to keep it up ! Better luck on your next camping trip.

Reminds me of our first night in a 1974 bay camper in Cornwall when it poured all night and the roof leaked horrendously. We used lots of towels under the frame but still got very wet.

I did laugh ( sorry ) think it’s time for a caravan or the hubnut camper 👍

Camping in England and Wales, such a familiar sound 😂😂 🌧️ ☔️

Once you've sorted the splat out. You'll have a veritable art work forevermore 😂

Time to invest in a kayak!

You could branch out into making lone survival in the woods camping videos

That scean in the Sword in The Stone. Merlin popping various umbrellas and placing buckets all around his tower. I used to fit Avon tyres to my 206 cars or goodyears. Currently trying davantis spelling. Seam to have good grip. But would like to get Avon tyres again.

I really sympathise! Can't tell you how many times I have camped in 'inclement' weather in a supposedly waterproof tent, and spent the night bailing it out! You dealt with it rather well I thought.

We had a nasty moment in Scotland earlier this year. Overtaking a lorry and the slipstream grabbed the caravan and I thought it was going to shove us off the road. Caravan stability controll braked the van and got it back, but it was a shock. All down to worn rear dampers. L322 Range Rover, so not a small car. Glad you survived.

Nikwax can be applied to wet fabric. In fact they recommend it.

Hubnut strikes again! Great video but I do feel your pain!

Can’t believe you have Chinese tyres , invest in decent tyres Ian

Put up the tarp, tie it, leave it on....

Camping in Norfolk in a Thunderstorm some years ago. Four a.m and we were hitting the whisky! Terrifying! On the same night a herd of cows gathered beneath an electricity pylon and were electrocuted. 😢 Another pair of canpers in the sane field woke up to a flooded tent! Sympathies

That must have been really frightening! Anyone who's ever experienced an unexpected skid or serious aquaplaning lift-off can vouch for that. Glad it ended well! Seriously considering replacing my cheap Chinese tyres on my daily driver now (although they never caused me any problems, except that they wear out early).

Is Bob a braked trailer? if it is check the braking mech on it from bar to wheels because if the trailer brakes aren't working that will push the rear end of the tow vehicle out if braking into corners.

Thine cup dribbleth over.

Was just down from you at Epwell last weekend. Had a caravan in the rain. Thank heavens that the exit from the site was down hill.....😊

Uniroyal rainsports, well worth the money and seem to be amazing in the wet with my civic. I just don't see the point in cheaping out on tyres after a friend wrote their mr2 off due to budget tyres causing him to loose the backend.

Oh, the joys of camping! Had a similar night years ago at (aptly named) Hell's Mouth. Nowt worse than a soggy bottom, lad. Cheap tyres, false economy.

Nice video Ian Thank you for sharing. Just came back from dropping my son to Aberystwyth uni accommodation. All the best to you and your family

All very 'Carry On Camping' in the finest British Tradition. All you needed was Charles Hawtrey to push his way into the camper and a stack of saucepans catching the drips 😂. I know you can buy 3M aerosols of waterproofing spray designed for outdoorsman clothing, could be something to keep in the camping kit possibly. I found it to be very effective on cotton, canvas and allsorts of mixed fibres, water beads off very effectively. UK camping should always feature a storm and some light calamities 😂😂😂.

I'd recommend Nexen tyres. At times I drive my Mk1 Focus, erm, "enthusiatically", and they've been fantastic. The last time I bought some, I paid something like £120 for a pair. They also come with some kind of warranty where you get partially refunded if they puncture and they have life left in them - which came in very useful when my Focus decided to break a front spring on the driveway, the pointy end of which then destroyed a front tyre that only had 2 miles of wear on it.

Sell it quick 😮 Roof tent for berlingo would be a thought 🫡👍🇮🇪

Take care, Ian yourself and family need to be safe and comfortable.

If you plan on keeping Bella and towing with her then invest in good tires!

You'll not be able to convince me that's not a blood stain, sorry

Great content. Nice save hope you don’t get too much stick!

This is like a very British version of Blair Witch Project.

Ouch ❤❤❤

Oh dear Ian haha part of the fun I suppose, stay safe

One word for waterproofing...Fabsil.

That is an adventure. 😮❤

Leaky Bob = Bad Times :(

Drifting in Bella yo!

the only positive is that that amount of water should at least have washed much of the offending detergent out

You wouldn’t think it would do that with all the weight over the rear tires

Well that was definitely a hubnut video another great video has always Ian and Carly miss/mrs hubnut and hublets and hubmutt 👍

Good job you didn't have a 12v (or mains!) light clipped up there under the leaky spot, that could have been even more messy... :S

Leaking roofs does happen sometimes, it is frustrating but like you did we manage through it. So glad nothing serious happened when Bella's back end let go, buttock clenching moment😂. Hope family enjoyed their stay.

It was bad the rain came down biblically. It also came down badly on the Sunday prior to the week you filmed this as I was travelling Severn Valley Railway autumn steam gala and driving in the dark with heavy rain and slightly dulled headlights wasn't great. I had to utilise my front fog lights to get some decent illumination.

Was very bad in South Birmingham on Thursday, the River Rea burst it's banks, and a lot of localized flooding on many roads. Compounded by idiots trying to speed through the water and then conking out

Oh blimey Edge hill. Went there in school when i was at Temple Cowley middle school back in the very early 90s.

As long as I was dry that rain would have me to sleep in minutes. I did think you were brave being out on Thursday evening.

It's like watching Apollo 13.

Normally those tents are waterproof again after drying up.

"retyre the entyre vehicle" 🤩

Awe well, comes to us all with age. lol

Youre luck is the same as mine.

Have you ever thought about getting a vintage rapido comfort folding caravan, a step up from a folding camper, they’re great and the one I had never leaked and have no canvas plus are extremely lightweight and comfortable. They fold up very small, easy to store as you can turn them on their side for storage.

😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

Maybe you should buy some lifejackets just incase the proofing fails.

You would not think they had been rain as the weather was kind at Rustival.But saying that coming from Willey to Gilks Garage going cross country there was a few puddles and a waterlogged field at somepoint. We hit rain on the way back up in the lake District to about Gretna and it cleared again. Lookin forward to the Rustival show Report.

Blimey! You could always sell your story as a Carry On Camping script! ..... Honest guv I only stripped naked so my clothes wouldn't get wet....

Sweet Mother of Jesus Ian. You choose to live like this even for a few hours?. Horrendous. Appalling. Absolute barbarism.

Oh dear Ian, this time the weather went HubNutat just the right time after the cleaning solution incident but we live and learn... well we live in my case. On the bright side at least you had a tarp and some guy ropes as it would have been a lot worse and you had the spray on gubbins with you to try and fix it the following day. Sponging it in would be my take anyway as it gets all the fibres covered with the stuff. Thanks for sharing.

6:05 Tomorrow, melt 2 candles and paint the wax on with a paintbrush. Outside of course, Then rub it in with a couple of sheets of newspaper.

Oooh ah Mrs. A right carry on camping episode of HubNuttery. You are so lucky you were on your own - goodness knows what Ms HubNut would have said !

Mini HubNut must be barefoot 😮 1:40

"My Bowl isn't Big enough..." ~Quote of the year 🤪. It's the damnest thing:--It rains nearly every 100 years here in the Desert 🌄🏜️. Strange 🤔. Glad you made it through the Rain and nonsense. And DON'T spend good Money on CHEAP Tires/Tyres😒🛞🚗🚙.......

Back in the 1980s, the Caravan Club advised members that in strong winds, if you didn't have a caravan anchor, you should park the towing vehicle as close to the caravan as possible and using whatever rope was to hand, lash the two together. The car with it's lower central of gravity and heavy weight should keep everything safe. Don't know if that helps.

All very HubNut Lol. You do like an adventure. Luckily, it was just you in Bob. So, not too much chaos.

Oliver Cromwell has got nothing on the battle you just won.👍

opps , just a usual ian day

Blimey, you did have an eventful night.

That's my idea of hell.

FABSIL

Oh dear

I would never tow a trailer with cheap tyres on car that was dangerous thing too do😢

That's Hubnut.

AY UP MR HUBNUT

Shorten the tarp and suspend it from the inside of the tent via the side rails making it an inverted dip at the center. It will collect the rain water allowing you to make a single hole in the lowest point of the tarp which can then be easily collected into a single vessel (bowl)

Retire? ….yep bin the berlingo!
