You videos are great. True and honest. We've got two more years of caravanning then the kids will be 20 so told us they will not come caravanning again (FREEDOM....). We will then get a Camper van. Cant wait. Keep these videos coming.

Thanks 😀 Me and my brother were the same when they used to have a holiday home in Cleethorpes. Something to note is that we prefer this height so we can get under most height barriers for wild camping or aires in France.

Well, you have got it all figured out! It looks great and seems to work for y’all so good for you for getting it all figured out. How you ever remember where everything goes is more than I could do! Lol. I enjoyed seeing how y’all travel and for sure it is cheaper than a hotel!! Thanks for sharing!! Happy camping!!
@TheCarpentersDaughterUK
@TheCarpentersDaughterUK 6 лет назад
Thanks, Becky :) Although it does amaze us that the cost of camping is getting dearer at some places as it's becoming more in demand with campers etc. We set ourselves a limit and if it's much more than £25 a night, we go elsewhere, otherwise it's got to be pretty special.

I moved to an underslung 20ltr LPG tank (T4 Westfalia) and my Propex feeds off that. Freed up a ton of space inside and 50p a litre to refill at local petrol station LPG pump. Fill about once every 2 years.

And I thought packing a caravan away was a pain, you really have to be well sorted with that. Do you have a water heater in there or is it just cold supply? £38 for the gas, wow that's expensive. I'm sure I don't pay that for a 13KG bottle (orange). Great video, well done!
@TheCarpentersDaughterUK
@TheCarpentersDaughterUK 6 лет назад
Yes, our calor gas of around 12 or 13kg is a bit cheaper. And in France, campingaz has become harder to find! We just have a cold water tap... hot water woukd be lovely though!

We have refillable LPG bottles in our Hymer so, being retired in UK, made a profit on the Heating Allowance. 😎 Now retired to France where life is better for us.
@TheCarpentersDaughterUK

@rogerwaldram4295
@rogerwaldram4295 6 лет назад
It can be great. We swapped our £300K house with large mortgage for our 300 year old former dairy with pool & bought a Hymer on part-ex with the rubbish proceeds of our endowment policy. Our 'heaven' needed new roof for house & barn & loads spending on fosse septique. Lowest income ever & lowest outgoings. A practical lady like yourself would be quids in with French cottage refurbishments. Food is fine from local SuperU or fresh stuff off the market. Now for a play with me rotovator 😎❤

@TheCarpentersDaughterUK

What winter tyres do you have and how were they in snow. My Vito is a bit of a glass brick with its standard tyres.
@TheCarpentersDaughterUK
@TheCarpentersDaughterUK 6 лет назад
There's a slight bit of skid in the snow from memory, but they're so much better than our old ones. Before, we'd got stuck before in the slightest bit of mud and it never used to do well on campsites. Our tyres are Alpha All Season 205/60 R16.
@epicjourneysbritainireland9474
Hi fellow Yorkshire person here...looking at getting a camper or partial build so i can carry it on..how much did the conversion cost you in total? and i like the Vitos. whats it like for reliability and are the engines good?
@ilookafterthewater601
@ilookafterthewater601 6 лет назад
What I want to know is where you've painted the legend "Home is where we park it"! Or do you have one of those cool magnetic signs bearing the legend, so you can stick it to the outside of the van and peel it off again as and when needed? Or, if you don't fancy that legend, what one might sum up the way you feel about travelling round in the great outdoors? Just asking ;o)
@TheCarpentersDaughterUK
@TheCarpentersDaughterUK 6 лет назад
Haha, I'm not that big on signs/stickers, but it mine might be something like "Life's better at the beach". I might have to fine tune that answer and get back to you 😂

Did you consider a diesel heater (assuming your van is not petrol!)?
@TheCarpentersDaughterUK
@TheCarpentersDaughterUK 5 лет назад
Yes, we did, but the price was about 3k to buy and install. If I did it all over again, I'd pay for it. The propex heater isn't the hottest, but I don't have anything to compare it to.

@Daz555Daz
@Daz555Daz 5 лет назад
@@TheCarpentersDaughterUK I have to say II am very pleased with my Webasto heater. You just need to be aware that it does need some juice to run and will consume a fair few amps on start up. Once it's going though it is relatively frugal in terms of battery. It costs very little in terms of diesel though - perhaps 100ml per hour per KW. I have a 2KW unit and it is more than enough for my LWB VW T4.
