Welcome to the channel. We share videos about our van life - as we do it.
We travel in the UK and Europe, mostly off grid, sometimes using Aires and rarely using campsites. We travel with 2 border collies.
We hope to upload one to two videos per week depending on how much we travel and how quickly we learn to put together videos.
Our content will be about the places we visit, the journeys we make, our hacks and tips for van life and of course about our Rattly Etrusco campervan.

Camping Arrolla Switzerland - Europe's highest campsite. A site worth visiting with fantastic views.
Some views from our pitch at Camping Arrolla - the best campsite! We rarely use campsites, preferring wild off-grid park ups in our Etrusco campervan - but this one in Switzerland is worth the detour. At 1950m (6400 ft), it's Europe's highest site. A Switzerland road trip video will be coming soon.

Thanks for taster vid, what views !
The pool at Wain Wath Falls, just west of Keld in Swaledale is probably the best place in the Dales for wild swimming. The Falls are wide and only about 6 feet high so the currents are gentle, and it's right by the side of the road.
How is it your dogs went from blue merle to black and white ,i have both kinds
They haven't actually been blue merle. Mabel has a rough coat and is actually tri colour although it's not obvious & Roy is just black & white with a smooth coat. Mabel does have some grey as she's old.
Hi there, thanks for the vid. Did the dogs paws handle the walking surface ok ?
Yes - no problems. I was a bit concerned about the top of the hill but they were ok.
Great .Hope it works out for you.Keep living.Rusty Ade.
Wow you are an inspiration sir thank you for sharing a part of your life with us van life looks great dogs are beautiful even the simple cooking was enjoyable and honest please do more videos thank you
I like the Flight Crew ....
lovely, thank you
I really enjoy your videos. The format is so relaxing to watch. I love that you don't play loud music over the sounds of nature
Are you planning a review / tour of your van?
Yes, but when I've cleaned the van out. It's going for a hab check soon so a review / tour will won't be long. Thanks for watching ;)
This is like watching a indie film. I love it! No music, no chatter, just ambient noises and the mundane things that make up a road trip, shot in a minimalist way. Suits the bleak beauty of Orkney.
I did all of The Lakes in the winter og 2021. On my own in new to me Motor Home. Got map at Conneston Musium.£5.00. Covered evey Pass and Waterfall. I free parkef no problem. It even snowed a little. Turned into a Wonderland.
Good luck with your adventures.. minor point - maximum of 720p - shame not higher with such good footage.
Thanks. I'm filming in 8k now so when that footage gets posted, everything will be at least 4K.
I really enjoyed this video, beautiful filming of the stunning Orkney landscape, thank you.
thank you
