Welcome to part 2!
Incase you missed part 1 ( ua-cam.com/video/v7tw4eLziP0/v-deo.html )In September 2020- my friend Theo and I decided we’d take our vans on a 10 day trip up to Scotland. The van was nowhere near finished (still isn’t). I had a folding mattress on the floor, which was good enough for me!
In this episode we continue our journey through Scotland, and the Isle of Skye.

I had a folding mattress on the floor, which was good enough for me! In this episode we make our way from Chester, England, to the Isle of Skye in Scotland. Enjoy!

    i have had it for 6 years. I became literally suicidal for a while after i got it because it never went away and i just gave up because NOTHING felt real. It felt like my vision changed and i cant see everything, it feels like im watching through a pipehole. Now im better though, ive learned to accept it because i cant find help anywhere. No doctor or therapist has understood me.

      On another note, would you be willing to share a little advice? I’m looking at purchasing a lwb iveco myself & a little worried about the size however you make it look fairly comfortable to deal with. Also had a couple questions about what you’ve used to edit your video? I’ve never done it myself but felt this the most accessible opportunity to ask someone. Appreciate your help in advance 🙂👌

      @mattdixon5299 3 роки тому

      @@tobygraham8936 Hi mate! Glad you enjoyed the video from the throne😬. As for the Van- the LWB is fine to drive. Could take a bit of getting used to if you’ve not driven something long before. Just be aware of the length when turning corners etc. But it’s fine! Depends what you want it for, a MWB would be easier to park in places, and manoeuvre in certain scenarios. So think about what suits you best. The key with Iveco’s (and most vans) is rust. They’re plagued with it. Particularly around the rear arches/floorpans. It can be resolved, but it’s awkward at times. So do your best to find one with as little rust as possible! Rust is also common under the front arches, and in the engine bay, around the battery tray. So keep an eye out! I edited these on iMovie on my iPhone actually, although starting to use Lumafusion instead- much more can be done with that. iMovie is very limiting, but can work for basic stuff:)

What does a full tank cost? Saw you record the fuel pump in your video but wasn’t sure if £56 was the full tank.

      @mattdixon5299 3 роки тому

      @@tobygraham8936 Hi mate, no problem. Yes, the rust is the key part. Fuel consumption isn’t bad for a van this size! Mines the 2.3L diesel. If empty, it’ll do 36+mpg. Think I had close to 40mpg at times. With a bit of a load, it drops to nearer 28-32. Still not horrendous. A full tank is 70 litres I think, so on current UK prices. Probably £80-90 for a full tank.
