It's nearly the start of another European trip. This is a little about how we intend to make the videos, a bit about a couple of things we change out for touring (as opposed to Winter long staying) and a bit about how our new diesel heater has performed.

Yes, after two camper van heater failures in less than three years we have decided enough is enough. Broken heating is incredibly disruptive so we wanted something we could fix ourselves in the future (if required of course!! Don't want to jinx it already!)

We just wanted to gather together all the bits that might be useful to anyone. The two big things that caught us out were how it wasn't as warm as we expected it to be in a January, and that we really needed some sort of entertainment for the chilly evenings. January is still like a UK Summer thought (apart from at night), which is perfect because it is cool enough to sleep well.

We have two happy places. One is Winter long staying in our Campervan in Spain. The other is Campbeltown. This small town on the Kintyre peninsula somehow manages to be both ever-changing and never changing. Also our Whale space heater has failed again! Should we just cut our losses and fit a Diesel heater?

The journey home. We have broken our own record by starting to book our next trip (to Italy) before we've even finished this one! Oh, and there was a load of other stuff but it got too boring. Looks like ten minute videos are about my limit (much to everyone's relief I'm sure). Hahaha.

We're on the second shorter part of our typical Spanish camper van winter trip. It's much busier in Cambrils, and the easy bus trips to Salou and Tarragona means we can cut loose a bit. Which for us mainly means trawling around Tapas bars and anywhere else we can find good (or cheap) eats.

We packed up and moved our camper van up the Spanish coast, so took the opportunity to talk about how some of the gear we tried in Scotland worked in practice on a long stay. We had hoped to do a bit more in Cambrils for this video but it rained heavily and then the winds got up! We made enough videos back home in that kind of weather! We'll do better next video. The camping gear we looked at i...

More nonsense from us. But we do genuinely find that our time in the camper van in a quiet part of Spain gives us more peace of mind than we have experienced in 40 years.

This one is a little bit about the Spanish Winter long stay lifestyle, a little bit about the equipment we're using, and a little bit about the cost. (Mainly cost is about how much wine and beer you drink, but we're trying to dress it up as something meaningful).

While we are in the quiet part of our camper van winter Spanish long stay, we thought we would try and include a little about the lifestyle, the cost and the equipment we tried out back in Scotland in each video. Hope it worked!

It's time to relax for two months in our camper van on the South coast of Spain. A bit of winter sun, food, drink and generally chilling out after a bit of a burn out year (for everybody).

We both believe we are handcuffed to a lunatic, but somehow have escaped any mental health issues! Perhaps it is because of Campbeltown, or because we spend two months of Winter camping in Spain? Who knows?

Only a few weeks until we head off for our Spanish winter long stay, and we think we may have some electricity costs for the first time. We're finding ways to limit electricity use.

We are on the countdown now! (even though there are still nine weeks to go). Keeps us out of trouble though.
