Loved this vlog! Lots of great info about keeping the dogs cool. Wilf is so cute ❤ His Kate Winslett impression was priceless 😂 The Menu del Dia sounded lush. Mrs Slaw would have gone for Sardines too 😋 Really enjoying this trip ❤
we are currently watching this one and looks lovely. we are newbies and yet to go out in our motorhome but by watching you 2 and dogs we are keen to get motoring xx
Great tips in this video, great dog shots and some innuendo? What more could viewers want? This video has got me wondering when a pond becomes a lake? Great fact about the island. So many fascinating places in the world. Great stuff xx
Just bought a new larger buggy for my three Paps as they are getting older. The small buggy has been great for 11 yr old Hazel with osteoporosis and spondylitis. She walks 20 mins then rides , then walks. She finds it hard to stand still now when I chat with friends so buggy’s are great!
We found the same recently, very quiet on camping car and municipal sites, reasonably priced with facilities. Few GB. It was busier on coastal Aires, plenty spaces on inland Aires. La Rochelle was very hot 35 degrees, to hot 🥵
Hey lovelies 😊 great video !!! Wilf just makes me laugh 😂 glad you got to Spain ok and you were making me hungry talking about Spanish food and croissants 🥐 with marmalade!!! I so can’t wait till we get to France 🇫🇷 lovely French produce ❤️🤤😋 xxx Safe Travels LY guys xxx 😘
@@redsgotravels awwww so lovely .. it’s kinda ironic as my pet name is and has been dolly for yrs but my real name is Julie ..And when I was little I used to have a blue dog pj case and I called it pippa 😀😀
Great stuff Redders and Co, you look so relaxed, doesn't Wilf bounce awwww, hope Dolly and Pippa are ok they seem really chilled. See you soon byeeeeee! X
Great start to it all young Redders's and no trip to the vets this time . Little too warm for us old Redders's but enjoy what you're doing . I'm with Corin on the menu del dia and I think it's only the french who think french cuisine is the finest in the world . I personally can't eat slugs and snails and frogs legs but I can devour a plate of paella or patatas brava or tortilla , and I'm in heaven with a coffee and brandy . You've wet my appetite for the rest of this trip and when you're back in November we'll be preparing to go . Have a great trip , we're sure you'll enjoy it , as will we . Take care , love from us old Redders's .
😂 hey ole Redders , an acquired taste for sure on some of those bodily parts 😬 glad to hear it’s getting you in the zone, it’s fab out here 💖❤️ the tapas is going down a storm ❤️❤️🐾 stay safe ole Redders , catch you soon, younger Redders ❤️
Hi Both, Really glad you are enjoying your adventures I love to watch you all along the way your furry friend looked so happy and content in the buggy & beautiful little Wilf, is like a bunny rabbit hopping and jumping Wilf certainly 110% got the jackpot when you adopted him I am so glad he is one very happy content little boy with a very happy future in front of him & the 3 dogs get on so lovely together safe journeys along the way see you all next time sending hugs to the 5 of you 💖🙂👍🦋Lin
Totally agree with you that spanish food is great!And eating out is value for money.Where we live our local restaurant still serves menu del dia for 11.00 euros including a litre of wine. Thanks for another very informative vlog.👍
As much as Shirley and I enjoy your videos, I have noticed that I can't find a video of yours in Wales, I thought with you coming from South Wales, that you would do some videos in Wales to help promote Welsh tourism. If ever you came to welshpool, I could meet you and give you a few pointers of this area
Good morning ! Thanks for watching and commenting, pre you tube days , in our first van we did quite a bit of Wales , when we started we did do Aberystwyth, but we shall undoubtedly do more of our beautiful country 🏴🏴 Thankyou for the kind offer ❤️🙂
Loving your adventure guys!, will likely follow in your tracks in the cooler months though. Wilfs a bouncing ball of fun!😂 Your next upgrade could well be an AC unit, increasingly essential equipment these day we think. 👍🍻
Hi Guys !! So glad to hear you are enjoying 🙂❤️ it’s warm, but cooling off a little , the maxx fan has been amazing, not quite AC just yet 🙂 Wilf and the girls are having a blast ! 🐾🐾🐾🐩🐩🐩❤️ safe travels xx
Wilf is so funny, love him! When I was little we had a Dalmation and I'll never forget his head regularly popping out of the very long grass as he jumped his way around the field. Enjoy the remainder of your travels x
Enjoyed watching. Live in portugal and my husband cycles the N2 twice a year with friends. We are back up starting in again mid October. Hope you have a great time. It's a great route and some amazing places. Look our for the Fluval/river beaches. Lovely places to cool down.
Another fantastic vlog Corrin & Paul. Some brilliant stop overs in France and a really cheap one in Spain. We're hoping to do our first ever Europe trip in early November with our 3 rescue staffie crosses . See you all on the next one, folks and furbabies. Love Mike & Paul Liverpool ❤
Hi guys and furbabies ! 🐾🐾🐾 so glad you enjoyed and lovely to hear you have plans to travel soon, and how kind rescuing 3 dogs, so rewarding 💖💖 see you next time ❤️❤️💖
Omg guys its a shame there isnt an Olympic games for dogs you could of entered wilf for the high jump, we would of deffo won a gold medal 😊😊 he is so adorable, enjoying the vlogs, not long now for us hope we can share that sun xx ❤
Hi great videos the awning you have can you have it free standing Love the new addition to your family Wilf he his ace we have two miniature Shnauzer we are of to Spain next February Thanks 👍
Good evening ! Although it’s attached to the awning rail, it has poles to keep it rigid, and we can , with a drive away kit, leave it in situ 🙂👌 Spain is really great and your two little one will love it ! Our three are having a blast ❤️🐾🐾🐾
Watching with interest as we are due to come over very soon, thanks for all the info on sites, we have 2 dogs so great to find doggie friendly places. Look forward to the next one 👍
Great vlog guys, learning so much from the little tips you give like the different sized water connectors and choosing your pitch carefully for the position sun. Looks like the new water purifier is doing a great job too! Goodness, well done on managing the dogs in those high temperatures 🌡 We rescued one of our dogs off the streets in Cyprus and flew him back to the UK and when we get high temperatures here he copes so much better than the other 2, so dogs definitely do adapt to the heat in the longer term but short term ours just hit the deck and sleep! Glad yours are all coping well with their special mats and so on. Lucky doggos! I've been looking at a website called Cool My Camper for an AC system for use when on hookup and hadn't thought about the amps issue for running it until Redders mentioned it but then I looked on the campingcar website and it does say the ampage of the power for each site so that's really useful to know for planning trips 😊. Thanks guys, looking forward to seeing more of Spain with you! Thanks!
Good evening ! Thankyou for your lovely comments, really appreciated xx ❤️ the dogs have adapted so well , and are really enjoying themselves 🐾🐾❤️ so glad it’s been of use for you in keeping your pets cool , air con is great , and checking the amperage will be invaluable 🙂xx
Hi,great content again,im trying to find your solar panel upgrade video but cant,when added the panels did you upgrade your mppt ???hope to see you on the N2
Good morning ! When I added the solar panels, I didn’t upgrade my mppt at the time, as my on board charger was fine, I had Agm batteries at the time, however , since installing lithium , my onboard EBL charger is not beefy enough to do the job , so I installed a victron solar charger, with a switch to divert the harnessed energy either to the leisure batteries or into my powerbank , hope to see you on the N2 , safe travels ! here’s a link to one of the upgrades 🙂❤️ … ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lytK3NbeRvg.htmlsi=A7rr2cfnTLcm8teo
Great vlog. Love Wilfs bounce 😂. We are fairly new to motorhoming, we did 10 nights in France and loved it. We have booked Spain over Christmas. Booked a site near Valencia for 5 nights from christmas eve and leaving here on the 20th. Although ferry not booked yet. Do you think thats enough time to drive down. My other half loves a long drive and reckons it's doable easy 😂. Also need to sort our AHC's for the girls ❤
@redsgotravels we cannot wait. First time abroad with the dogs and concerned with the temperatures so finding your tips to keep them cool helpful. Thank you 😊
That was a surprise. We stopped at that Clerac aire in January but they have cut lots of trees down and got rid of the muddy road since then. Is Wilf half hare?
Hi guys, just to pick ur brains, we haven’t used CampingCard aires yet. Got a card ready, just checking we understand it correctly, u said to put ur card over top of the keypad to activate water etc. do u still have to do this if u scanned ur card under the keypad on entry? Or do u do both and it wipes extra €5 off if ur camping or deducts it if u don’t??? Also do u swipe ur card under pad in entry and exit. We r a little confused and r going to France in a few weeks. Thanks Paul/Teresa 0:02
Hi guys ! The card is simply a measure to stop anyone but cardholders accessing the water , it doesn’t charge any extra if you use it once or a hundred times . The card is to be used when entering or leaving , if you enter and leave within a couple of hours it’s 5 euros , it assumes you’ve used the services , if you then return and stay overnight you’ll be charged the full 24 hour fee minus the 5 euros 👍 so you can come and go as you wish , it’s not pay each time you enter or exit 👍 hope that helps.. you’ll only ever pay a max of the overnight fee
Hi you two We are busy setting up our new motor home . Just a couple of questions:- 1. What size rear box do you have . A Fiamma 500,360 or 320 . Yours looks just the size we need . 2 . Are you happy with your seat covers ? If so where did you buy them ? We really enjoy your vlogs . This current series is particularly useful especially with regard to budgeting as we to plan a Europe trip next month. Cheers Jonathan & Sheena Smith
Hi Guys our box is a 500 , the seat covers are ok, going a bit saggy now ( I assume you mean front seats ) , just search for aguti seat covers 🙂 the main seating area has shein covers, really good 🙂 , glad you are enjoying the vlogs ❤️❤️🙂
Good morning, we’ve included the dog food , but Wilfs pet passport and AHC isn’t , I guess it helps with those who don’t have dogs , but of course we will always let people know the cost 🙂 we’ve recently renewed one of our own passports , which is done in the stride of any travels 🙂🙂❤️ hope that helps 💖
Another great video, we would love to go to France and it looks fantastic with some of the sites you have stayed at, but having never done it in a car let alone a Motorhome or trip abroad, we wouldnt know where to start. Do you think you could do something on what we would need to do from booking a site, what the tolls are like, or just generally how you plan something like that, unless you have already done a video?. Sorry if it sounds a stupid question!! And we do really like watching your videos 🙂. Thanks Dave and Sarah 🙂
Hi guys , we’ve covered it over a few vlogs , from getting a crit air sticker , getting a camping car card ( very worthwhile ) and using sites 🙂 quite a lot in our back catalogue , also apps like park4nights to find places , you can use via Michelin on the web to calculate tolls too , recommend a good sat nav ( see our ohrex review ) .. and what you need for France , hi viz vests, uk sticker , beam deflectors , spare bulbs , don’t forget breakdown cover and medical insurance 🙂🙂 do it once then it’s easy ❤️❤️
Great video. We are travelling to Portugal in September so we are getting lots of great tips for our adventure. We are quite new to motorhoming so when you said you use your camping card for the barrier and services can you please let us know what sort of card you are using. Do we need to get a special card?
Good morning ! We did a vlog which contained what you need , hope it helps 💖 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hVw662V2Om0.htmlsi=W6KaIAyH50BVlSYT Safe travels ! And Thankyou 🙂
Loving wilf, got so much happy energy, did you consider getting the dogs clipped really short for the journey, makes hella difference, we always get our ones clipped in the heat
Hi Corrine and Redders, Deb and I are enjoying your VLOG's, hope you have a great trip, were looking forward to the next VLOG. Two questions, what make is your blow up awning and do you recomend it? Secondly what capacity of lithium batteries are you now carrying? I am about to change from a wet battery to lithium as the wet battery has given up the ghost. Cheers.
Good afternoon ! The awning is a kampa air 260 , it’s great and thoroughly recommended, we picked it up second hand, although barely used 🙂 don’t rely on a foot or hand pump , get an electric one , so much easier 🙂🙂 we have 2 x 100 ah lithium batteries , really good , just make sure your charging system is capable of charging them , mine wasn’t so did a few simple victron upgrades 🙂 ( a few vlogs back ) well worth it ! 🙂
Hello, Loving the trip on a budget. We are touring France in about 3 weeks. You mention the tap fittings in a Camping Car Park. Please can you clarify what they are called and where to get them from? Thanks Stephen & Caroline.
Hi guys ! We got ours from Bricolage ( a French B and Q ) but you can get an accessory set from Amazon with multiple screw threads for the taps , here’s one which will cover most 👍👍 amzn.eu/d/aNNXQrM
🤣🤣 thanks Paul, we are doing ok so far, the food is cheap, and we have stopped on so many free aires with all the services provided , even some with free hook up… safe travels ! Hope your bank balance has a nappy 🤣
Would it be possible to give links for the stop/sites you are using please. we are heading to Spain V Portugal in September. Our first time in our VW Ocean. No experience.
Good evening ! If you download an app called what3words , we put the exact location in every vlog at some point when we talk about it 🙂🙂 it’s by far the easiest and most accurate way 🙂 hope that helps ❤️ safe travels !
@@redsgotravels thanks for the link, I read this on the app description page (Spend abroad like a local with great exchange rates (fees additional to the rate provided may apply)) What has your experience been on this? Have you been charged fees?
We have never been charged fees, ironically until today, I needed to get money from a cash point quickly, unfortunately the cash point I used (the bank) charged €5 fee for me to take out €70. Usually I would get my card back and forget it and try another bank (mostly they are free) but I needed the money and hadnt time to find another, so grudgingly paid it. We have found revolut to be incredible for our travels, 23 countries so far with no issues at all. Changing up money is easy and the budgeting part of the app is excellent
Hi Linda ! We just have a direction / area in mind , set the sat nav and go , it’s combined with apps such as park4nights and what we see as we travel , we will do an update in the next vlog ref this , which will hopefully help ❤️
Good morning, no we just used the standard 3 pin orange cable, no issues at all, the rcd would trip before any issues , it is a huge amperage , we had to check twice ! I guess it means if you have aircon etc you’ll be fine 👌
Can I ask your route please ive been following you but every time I go that way it costs me a fortune in tolls £55 for 1 toll near le man's last year thanks Mike from Bristol.
Hi Mike , we use our sat nav programmed with “no tolls” and have a general idea of the area we wish to go to, sometimes we might get sidetracked and stop at a town we pass through, but it’s mainly our sat nav, or it can be done by using an app, we use via Michelin as this can plot a route with or without tolls 🙂 hope that helps for future planning .. the sat nav we use was reviewed by us a few vlogs back ( ohrex ) it’s working well for us 🙂 hope that helps 👍 however we will add this question with a fuller reply in an upcoming vlog ! Great question
I find Toll Guru better than Via Michelin for checking on tolls. Easier to use and more accurate as you can select 'motorhome' . I had never heard of Toll Guru but it was recommended by another RU-vidr and its great.
Good morning , the back box is on the cycle rack , and the rack is rated at 50 kg , but we never get anywhere near that , it’s for bulky items like the silver screen, chairs, mats , our dogs buggy , really adds a great amount of storage for our compact Moho 👍🙂
my rv is a concordia centurion actros width of 2.5meters height is 3.85 wheight is 26tons plus we have a mini cooper in the garage at rear a king size bed in the rear plus a double bunk bed we use for our dog as he is a belguim shepard bigger than a german shep and it as a payload of 5 ton so plenty of space for 2 and dog what i do is go to norway/sweden/denmark from may till end of august then head south to spain for winter as i nave duel passport for spain and uk
As we are with 3 , the EU roaming data is a crazy price , you can buy sims locally ( assuming unlocked phone ) or I use Smarty … data coverage is pretty good in cities and some towns , but sometimes there is nothing between places , we use starlink which is great for remote places , some smaller areas have poor coverage and distances between towns quite a distance 👌🙂
Great video, made me really look forward to leaving for France in about 3 weeks, just shortish trip before hopefully Portugal in the New Year, hope the heat dies down soon! Wilf does what my late father (pilot) called 'circuits and bumps' ie running round madly in circles, worryingly referring I think to learning to fly small planes, someone will tell me if I'm wrong 😂😂😂 Will you get him a pet passport in Spain? I'm going to renew my 2 in Belgium this trip, vets v helpful there. Another tip for draining grey water ' cos I have a very low van I use an old folding bowl then tip into the bucket less chance of the bucket collapsing! Carry on enjoying the trip! Sue 😊🐶🍷🚐
🤣circuits and bumps ❤️🐩🐾 , yes we will be sorting his pet passport over here, not sure where, but definitely soon 🙂 great tip on the bowl too ! 💖🙂 safe travels 💖
