WHERE TO PARK A CAMPERVAN OVERNIGHT | UK VAN LIFE PARK UP
Hello, where do you keep the power bank in the van? Thanks. Brian.
Hi Brian. Sometimes we keep it on the floor in the gangway and others we keep it on the side worktop.
So lucky
The planter with the word 'Chester' on it was a dead giveaway...😂. I love your van, perfect layout considering one myself.... X
Had 1560wh allpower, the battery would drain even not being used and it was noisy, build quality not great, I've now got ecoflow 2048wh brilliant, doesn't lose power when not in use and quite recommended
Did you ever see the series 2 pints of lager… I thought he was the only one with a sheep phobia.
Informative thanks just building my own camper the cold weather is a pain rushed with wiring without thinking it through so not enough power outlets , I was always interested in these power banks and after watching your video I’m gonna get myself one ,when summer comes only then I might get a grip with sorting the wiring out better . Really pleased I watched your video 👍🏼
interesting vid cheers .ive just bought the ecoflow delta 2 max not used it yet but seems to be a beast on paper
I slpit it bro so i have the cream
I have a AC200LL and 2 Batteries - also 2 smaller Bluetti Units - 2 100ah Lifep04 and a generator. I can run the motorhome's heater at 500W for about 13 hours - so not too bad. That's when I want to save the Gas
Have considered a power bank to run for short periods to heat our camper. Just to point out you only get around 80% capacity from any power bank
I have 3 but the smallest r600 always gets e2 code and won't charge
that's a beast
These power staions are nice, but I went with the Pecron E1500 LFP after doing a LOT of research. It has worked flawlessly now for 6 months, and I may buy a second unit. The Pecron E1500 has 1536 wH capacity and outputs 2200 watts constant, which allows me to run my big old microwave oven (which uses 1950 watts).
Best use of a power bank would be powering a fan or two to spread the heat from the van's engine powered heater. Get the van nice and toasty before zipping into your sleeping bags. Maybe run a space heater in the morning to take the chill off while the tea's on.
Hey lovelies 🥰 very informative vlog, I’m not gonna lie, I did get lost with the maths on the wattage but that’s me 😂😂 it does show you very practically what these things can do and we wouldn’t be without ours for sure 😍 really enjoyed this video as you made talking about techy stuff fun 🥰 😘 xxx
Aww well that’s us. We try to make our videos fun. Thanks for watching. As always. LY ❤️ xxx
Good informative video, thanks. As our van has no heating, I've been considering the idea of using a werable heated blannket/hoodie. At around £20 they would run off the usb ports on your powerbank. Has anyone tried these? I'd ne interested to know if they work as an alternative to heating the van!
I think the blanket hoodie idea is very cost effective to be fair. I think a lot depends on the size of the van. The insulation on ours is top notch so even if I run the engine and use the blown heater for 10 mins it heats the van up.
Barbara Definitely prefers the beige model.
Thank you for watching 😊
Great informative video. Thanks for sharing 😊
...
Saw you on Richbibbies so popped over to say hi 👋 Hello to Barny too! Warm wishes from new friend Millionaire Paul 👍
Hi that’s great news. Thank you for coming over to check us out. Someone mentioned your channel to us recently but can’t remember who. Thanks for subscribing 😊
I wonder if some pubs like people staying in their car parks as it makes their premises more secure. I must try this out some time, not new to camping but we have only just got a Camper Van. Shakshuka is going to become very popular I believe as it makes for a heathy hearty breakfast, I really like it and often make it at home and it’s nice any time of the day.
Yes we think it probably gives some of these places piece of mind having someone staying. I must admit we have started seeing Shakshuka in more places now. Thanks for watching 😊
Poor puppy. Great plan not cooking.
Yes we love a good pub stop for not having to cook or wash up. Tessie is much better now 😍
That marshmallow on a stick Clare had looked amazing!!! Beautiful lights, looked like a fab weekend
It was! Although the one from the week before was even better as it was Chocolate Orange flavoured 😍 hope you guys are having a good week 😊
I think you mean suit not suite. (Sorry but I'd prefer if people pointed it out if I'd done it!) We had a caravan now have a Vivante layout on a renault by LD (called a Renoir). It's very much different strokes for different folks. I miss the caravan but don't miss towing it and much prefer the total freedom and straightforward setting up. If you've space and funds to spare you can always tow a caravan with a camper, I don't think this is a bad idea at all and suits a lot of trips.
Thank you. Didn’t notice that typo. All fixed now 😊 I don’t think we would ever go down the caravan route, especially now Clare is comfortable driving my car, it means she can follow if ever we need 2 vehicles.
Loved the lights and the music. You'd probably enjoy Longleat festival of light. Keep the van and get one of those Go-Pods that Claire took a shine to at the NEC. BTW David was right they were Gallopers, Carousels go anti-clockwise.
I might have been right but it turns out it was fluke as I never realised that was the difference 😂 I must admit if we had the storage for a Go Pod it would be an option. Thanks for watching and commenting 😊
yes yes yes yes yes go on go on go on as Mrs brown would say live the island bed that king size quilt just imagine go on go on go on A slice of cake vicar go on go on go on
Haha joking aside I don’t think it would fit our lifestyle and now that Clare is happy driving my car the worlds our oyster 😂
Hey lovelies what a lovely video 🥰 got us right in the Christmas spirit !!! Loved it 🥰 cosy pub meal and a walk round Sandringham 😍 Just to note a caravan is not for you 🤣 imagine driving it round Cornwall or Wales 😮😂 xxx LY guys, not long now eeek !!! 💕 xxx
I know. Cannot wait. It is going to be the highlight of our Christmas. Also don’t worry, we won’t be giving up van life ❤️ LY both too. Hope you are all well xxx
@ 💕😍😍xxx
Fitvilles are also the key to successfully walking 30,000 steps when we were in New York 😊
And I would walk 500 miles 🎶
No you can’t give up the Vivante ❤
Don’t worry Varney’s here to stay for a while 😍
Top video this , great digital capture, neat editing and well presented . We loved the music to , God Bless you both H and M
Thanks both. Was great to see you both at the weekend. Thanks for coming ❤️
We love Norfolk. Such a great place 😊
It certainly is a lovely place ❤️
Being full-time we can't really forget to pack things, but we do like to drive off without our levelling blocks and door mats😒😒
Oh wow. I’m a very forgetful person but I haven’t left the ramps behind yet. I do have a checklist tucked under the sun visor though to remind me not to 😂
Strange things sheep , a farmer friend used to say they find all new ways to kill themselves, he says they’re all suicidal 😂. We met the Richbies at your wedding meet up , nice guys. See you soon H and M
I didn’t know you knew Jeremy Clarkson 😂
Your thumbnails are eye-catching, and your content is fantastic! Still, a few factors might be affecting your views. Let me know if you'd like me to share some insights.
Thank you for your feedback
Poor David, we can lend you Mollie to help with the sheep phobia 😂 she isn't the least bit interested in them but they are vary of her every time 🐑 usually at the start we would forget our coats which can be fun, either get wet or end buying a new one as we now have 3 or 4 each stashed in the van 😂 looked a great pub stop with friends ❤️
I’m now trying to weigh up the thought of having 3 dogs versus no longer having to worry about sheep 😂
Poor sheep getting a bashing 😂 I think you are the first person we’ve ever heard of with a sheep phobia or Ovinophobia! Yep I googed it as I couldn’t believe it was a thing 😂😂😂 Also absolutely right! Never forget the doggies ❤❤❤
I love the fact that you took the time to Google my issues. Much appreciated 😂 I also don’t like the amount of poo they leave everywhere. It’s not that bad with fields of horses or cows. I’m sure sheep spend roughly 97% of their time either seeing or pooing. Thanks for watching as always. You guys are awesome ❤️
Great vlog guys , love the theme of forgetting things ,puts a different spin on a pub stop . Thanks for the shout out and a fantastic meet up . Must do it again
Aww thank you. Yes it all came together well. We didn’t want to film too much as we were too busy enjoying ourselves. Yes definitely and I think there are plenty of pub options between us 😊 we had a cracking time 👍🏻
@ us too , yeah get Christmas etc out the way and we’ll sort something
Hey lovelies 🥰 great to see you all having a good time 😍 I didn’t know the sheep story 😂 Yes I must be a posh bird 😂 Poor Clare having to walk to the shop for the milk 😢🤣 xxx
You definitely look like a classy bird Deb but we are lucky enough to have got to know you 😂 it’s another good pub stop fairly close to us and also on route to Liverpool if you’re ever passing through in the future 😜 miss you guys xxx
We're currently drawing up our list for our new campervan. Cork screw was first on the list! I went on a caravan holiday with my parents when I was a kid. We drove all the way to Devon to discover the cooked chicken Dad had prepared was still in the oven cooling down. It certainly wasn't pretty a fortnight later when we got home! 😂 Thanks for sharing N&Nx
Oh no that sounds terrible. Make sure you have a bottle opener too, especially if you plan on doing any festivals 😂 we have 3 😂
Hi both, another great find and a cracking pub stop. Looks great. I think we will try a few of these next year… BTW,Good choice on the biscuits David. Yes, we had a crisis last trip out, no corkscrew ! #adaptandovercome
Ah so you drink expensive wine too 😂 pub stops are the best. We really don’t need campsites at all when there’s a pub around.
food looked nice sheep are lovely btw and i dont mean with mint sauce
Oh no you don’t mean you have it with Apple sauce instead? 😂
It’s a good job you never forget your camera or you wouldn’t be able to bring us all these escapades 😂
Haha we always have our phones so definitely no danger of that 😂
Oh we do Love a good pub stop. This looked like a nice cosy one 😊
Yes it was lovely. Loved the fire in the lounge area.
Can't stop thinking about the donkey! Gorgeous bunting 😊
Yes it’s lovely bunting. Thanks Jo, we are very grateful ☺️
Love your van. Love the layout and how cosy it looks. Can I ask where the dogs sleep. I have two labradors. X
Thank you 😊 they sleep on the bed with us 😂 it’s slightly bigger than a King and we sleep across the van so that they can go next to us. I don’t think there’s enough space for labs though 😂
It’s got to be Barney Bear to go with Varnie Van xx
Thank you this is deffo my favourite ❤️ xx
Sorry David, can’t accept you would ever prefer this no toilet , no head height van , over the superb Vivante.
I’m with David on scatter cushions - takes us an hour to get into bed! 😮
Yes agreed. Silly things 😂
We've just ordered our very first campervan and I can't WAIT to make it our own! Great idea to use the teddies to keep the glasses from clanking together. Thanks for sharing N&Nx
You will love your new Van. Can’t wait to see how you make it like home 😍
