The thing about Spain is that people from "the north" head there for the winter so it's always busy, even in March. We live in Portugal and people head down here too..."save on heating bills brigade". Wooow, what a good idea. take some glue with use, maybe Araldite, thanks for that.

For the table, look into rampa nuts . rampa inserts. Those have a very big thread (holds better in a thin surface) and a small regular bolt thread inside. Drill the hole, tap in the rampa nut and screw the table into the nut.

Oooh I will need to look into this then because all of the bits that screw in are falling apart from age haha

Enjoy Picos de Europa guys! Once you pass Bilbao the A8 motorway is toll free all the way to Galicia and you drive along the coast. The views are stunning and there are lots of nice fishing villages worth visiting. Do not hesitate to ask us as we live in Foz, the Coast of Lugo, in Galicia.

Looks like you already have a 30mb bulkhead regulator that will do propane and butane. I think you should only have needed a pigtail for the new bottle. You might have 2 regulators in the set up now. Not sure if that is a refillable bottle but there are some dodgy places that will fill it anyway. Good luck.

Yeah unfortunately I couldn’t find a connector to bypass that so we have had to make do with two of them ☺️

Hiya you guys, dud you know you can buy an adapter off net to refill calor gas bottles, you can see vlogs on the you tube how to do it, It's alot cheaper than buying a new bottle.

Guys, I love following your videos especially around Spain but could you please include a quick map with a pin point of where you are or a trail of your journey or something? I found it a bit frustrating not knowing where you are in Spain until about half way through. Anyway, just my thoughts, not having a dig, have a great trip!

Hi Gemma and Campbell, Enjoyed your Spainish trips, we have no passports (or any intension of getting them) so these show us what we are missing. Just to let you know, we have at last recieved your book 'Where to eat and stay NC500' after our pre-order. The next step is deciding just when to start our next trip from Lincolnshire to Scotland! Take care, hope to meet up with you in Scotland sometime. Rosie and Ian

Looks lovely. We're currently in Portsmouth for a week and really struggling to find park ups with any services. UK really needs to provide more Aires. I'm sitting in a shopping centre Carpark surrounded by 20 other vans all with the same problem.

hello, i saw you empty the toilet cassette? Splashing ??? The reason it keeps splashing is because you don't press the yellow button on the top. This is a vent button. Prevents splashing when you empty toilet cassette. Have a good trip in Spain Kind regards from Belgium (Kris and Tamara from the Belgian MotorHome Club) RU-vid channel: The Beast on Tour
