The news was reporting that an extreme artic winter was heading to parts of Scotland and that temperatures were due to drop to below freezing and possibly -18 degrees.
At the time we were parked up with friends along the west coast of Scotland, so we packed the van and headed to Aviemore and Glenmore Forest as its renowned for freezing temperatures and heavy snow!
We wasn't to be disappointed! Heavy snow arrived and we endured an extreme Scottish winter in the van with an overnight temperature low of -14 degrees.

Hey :) I’m Rob and my dog is called Archie (airedale terrier) and I've been living full time on the road since 2020. This journey began when I left the UK Armed Forces and decide to retire and spend the rest of my life travelling with the dog while living full time in our self converted van (Peugeot Boxer) called Shaky. Living the van life enables me to travel, experience and document the beauty of this world and be with my dog 24/7. My hope is that by sharing my own personal highs and lows along this amazing journey, it might inspire someone else to live this life. It's all about the journey, the destination and the adventure.. with good friends along the way!
See you on the road soon! 🚐 #vanlife

Fantastic Rob, we have seen it all in the last few days, thank god we had the bfgs on the van. Went to sleep at Dunnet head with loads of snow and woke up to 4 degrees and snow free roads.

Well that's what you designed the van for being out in. Can you get the window changed for a caravan design or is it to big. Keep having fun Rob.
@PackTheVanAndGo
@PackTheVanAndGo Год назад
I would totally agree with you, he wins hands down with his love of the snow! Yeah -13 was pretty epic and loved every moment of it, as you said the van is built for it now, just a few other changes to make and we are all good for another winter abroad somewhere! I could buy a new side door, and start fresh and put a caravan window in, but I might as well keep what I have for now mate! Hows you anyway mate, did you have a good xmas?

I started by looking at vans to convert but without the tools and skills this is a problem so am now looking for a motor home. If you wouldn’t mind could I please get your opinion on why you chose a van instead of a ready built motor home? Cheers love the vids keep it up 👍
