Looks exactly like something I've been wanting to do forever! Such a great little adventure time. Definitely try to use the paper trick again but push it flush against the windows and then cut with a switch blade, It'll not harm the glass, if pressed gently but then you can create better inserts with fabric, cardboard, etc! Just a thought
I’m so glad I found your channel. I’ve been watching some of your videos, me and my partner bought a van and after a couple of times away he isn’t interested anymore so I need to find the gut to go out alone! Your videos have inspired me🥰
Aw thank you I’m glad the videos helped! Start with going to some campsites alone first it’s really peaceful and with a van it’ll be amazing 😄 hope you have some lovely adventures with your van and hope your partner wants to do it too again soon 😊
What a fantastic video! Glad stich is comfy to sleep in! Also you look so well your absolutely glowing 😍 and be careful passing other cars on the back roads! Hopefully see another video soon ❤
Looking great El! You lost weight? You'll have to be careful with your leg again sleeping in the back like that.Also have You thought of just tinting your windows,you can get diy film from halfords then just put a sheet over the front windows.❤
Hey Adam! Agree about my leg luckily it’s been ok so far but definitely going to get some sort of mattress just in case 😊 Aw thank you! Yeah I’ve been doing a lot of exercise lately. I have thought of tinting the windows and it’s still an option for a back. Not sure how dark they’re allowed to be legally but if I can do it the darker the better 😊❤️
Ell it’s good to have ya back 🥳sleeping in stitch looks very cozy you fit in there nicely when sleeping aww😂and what a bloody pigs ear you made at covering those windows😏🤣. We will let you off having a McDonald’s just this once ell 😂just don’t do it again 😡😂I do love a good cream&chive dip though 😋and a chick burger. Anywayz Fanks for the chaotic video Ell😂can’t wait for the next one.❤Xx
Apart from the occasional sore back the car was sooo comfy to sleep in! Definitely need a mattress tho. Hahaha Omg I destroyed that McDonald’s 🤣 had to work extra hard to get it off today tho 🙈 Aw thanks huni hope you enjoyed it next one will be up soon. Hope you’re having a lovely day! 😄💕
Ell I had a nice day thanks the weather was soo beautiful ☀️😎and don’t bother getting a mattress you don’t need one of those 😏😂it’s better if you sleep without it, better for your back a nice hard flat surface 😂just deal with the pain you will get use to it 😛😂and yeah can imagine you shoveling that Mac D’s down your pie ole 😂making a right old mess down your top.Xx
only two things you need to to know - is the head gasket o.k & the gearbox, plus check the sills for rot plus under/behind the wheel arches . . then you good 2 go . . good Luck with your next Van . . make sure you can stand up init & it has a shower . . older vehicle's are better, simple, more reliable, easier to fix, (unrestricted) unlike todays . . .
I can't recommend Car Shades enough. It looks like you got the wrong ones as mine have always been a great fit. The one time they weren't they were immediately replaced so I would talk with them and show them the video. Don't give up on them as I think they are pretty awesome after 4 years of use (Fiesta and Touran). I've needed replacement clips as lost a couple and haven't got the right ones but they are soooo good with customer service
Why don't you get someone to tiny your windows at the back though you can only get the back ones done it will keep it cool in summer too love your channel ❤
I velco black shower curtain to my car windows. I love car camping, but the government is about to force pay per mile charges in so this could end car and van life. Im going car camping this weekend and the weekend after. Its just awesome and cheap and easy. Specially with everything thats going on at the moment.
Hey Ellie ! I think Stitch is going to work out so much better for you. It's a work in progress but you're a smart lady you'll figure it out. Are you going to put up any more of your old videos? Have a great night!
Heyy Mark! That’s really kind of you to say thank you! I agree it’s a lot comfier in Stitch and feels more organised. Yeah I was thinking of putting some more older vids up and trying to see how I can remix them 😊💕
Ciao Buonasera Elenora, grazie amici, totally love the vibe of your video, it's as though we are all with you in the car. Epic content, not sure if you have taken us shopping b4? Cool Devon accent (always) and sweet how you laff all the time. Looking forward to the next day out - arrivederci, Rafael
Heyy Rafael! I think I’ve taken everyone to Tescos once before for a cake so was definitely time for more shopping haha 😆 Thank you so much I’m really glad you enjoyed it! Will have another one up really soon. Haha I’ve stopped filtering the Devon accent now I just let it out 🤣🤣 have a lovely day today! ❤️
Hi Eleanor , Becky from girl outdoors also on RU-vid has landrover freelander I believe . She build it to a small camper and just bought a roof tent . Maybe you got some i dears from here . How is it with Atlas , is he still with you ore did he got a new house to live ? Greetings Freddy
Hey Freddy! 👋 Oh that’s brilliant thank you! I’ll check out her videos! Atlas isn’t with us anymore. It effected me a lot but slowly moving through it. Hope you’re having a lovely day 💕
Nice one ellie, glad to see more videos also it seems like youve excluded a lot of background stuff out your video could be just me 🤔 (maybe im over analysing) but anyway great video nice to see your happy smily face again and look forward to more video's 😀
Hey Chris! Thank you for your lovely words ☺️Yeah I’ve started blurring out reg plates that are in shot including mine just for safety 😊 Hope you’re having a lovely week so far! 😄
I noticed that to, can't be to careful nowadays I assume you had a read my message as it looks like you've been careful with what's in back ground just felt like needed to say something. I'm having a good week busy at work and my animals etc weather is fantastic at moment so not gonna grumble. Hope your having a good week to 😃
FL2! do not get ripped off by a garage for things you can do yourself! The aux port, is just a realign, you cna do this with basic tools like a small screwdriver and a bodkin (big needle) or something similar. Talk to the people that know the vehicles (like me) and we'll save you hundreds of £££'s and also let you enjoy the vehicle and get you to do it's full potential. Plus camping in it. There are things to do when money allows to make the camping better. 😀
squeek at back end is possibly the Haldex unit, it's not a cheap fix, but if oyu don't it'll be a lot more cash. Bell engineering is the place to get it rebuilt.
Love the videos. 😊 Not sure if you know, but when it comes to getting a shower all major motorway services has free showers. You just need to ask for the key. Normally at WH smiths. 😊
You must of needed that sleep. It also proves that the made up bed worked for you. Hope you never forget the stove and remember everything else cause I can only imagine that you can be a bit of a crazy lady that could have a massive 😢. Can't wait to see the rest off your journey
You will stay warmer if you have something thick under you. Think of it like sleeping insulation. Having more then one helps even more. Add in even a lightweight pad and you are set. You can also do all of this during the warmer nights just use a lightweight blanket on top of you.
Hey Kelvin 😊 Unfortunately on mine the seats don’t lay flat even with the headrests off. The seats don’t move at all apart from the back of them. It sucks cos I thought they all did 🤦🏽♀️
Yeah the lower part is all joined together and bolted on 😩 I thought I could unbolt it and remove the bottom but the back of the seats will be too low then so I can’t win 🤣 it’s tempting to remove the whole thing
@EleanorGraceDiaries awww what a nightmare I've had 3 freelanders and all have been able to drop flat! Either take the lot out or get a different freelander 😁🤣
@@EleanorGraceDiaries Sorry for the late response, I was working. You gave me a craving so I actually bought some lol. It is 40 Celsius here so I need it lol
Hi Ellie. Great video! After watching this video I thought I'd like to camp at The Jamaica Inn, but I couldn't find it on their website. Do you have to let them know you're coming out do you just turn up and use the car park?
Heyy! You just turn up and park then go to reception and let them know you’re using the car park for a camper and how many nights you’d like. They give you a ticket to say you’ve paid. It’s £10 a night and no need to pre book. Hope you have a lovely time 😄
@@EleanorGraceDiaries Ellie I can’t do a lot but I’ve been waiting for the thanks button to appear so I can give you £5 a month to get a coffee and maybe a pastry 🥐 ,you make me Smile ! So Thank You ❤️❤️❤️ Andy x
Aw Andy honestly thank you that’s made my day! I’ll definitely get a coffee and a pastry whilst editing with this! So glad to make you smile I’ll be back with a lot more within the next week ❤️😄
go to the car lot trade your window van for a non window van or at least something with less windows or just put curtains up go to a custom van shop they will hook you up curtains my little dear curtains
