    Looked like a great holiday and site to stay on. We stayed in France this year & some sites provided a private bathroom with a shower, on our pitch, so as we had a T6 it was convenient to have this facility, well worth the extra few euro. You guys have the nicest smiles on UA-cam, love your videos.

      Aw thank you that's very kind 🥰 Campervan definitely makes us smile more 😁 The private bathrooms are a great idea, especially if you have multiple generations traveling with you too.

    Great video, really enjoyed coming along with you on it (even if Iain did put fish on a pizza). You must be the first Van Channel to visit a Nudist beach and not put it all over your title and thumbnail. This speaks volumes of your integrity and dignity - one of the main reasons why we love you guys ❤

    • @VantasticAdventures

      Aw thank you that's a lovely think to say (not the fish pizza bit, honestly you have to try it 😂) ❤️❤️❤️ We resisted the temptation as, like you, we don't watch click bait channels, it's a short lived boost to a channel, we prefer to build it organically and have viewers who want to stay because they like the content - this makes for the most loveliest of viewers too 🥰 thank you for watching and definitely try that pizza 🍕😉

    Its great to understand the difference between 'pink jobs' and 'blue jobs', although there were too many 'pink jobs'!
    Already looking forward to your next update.

    Glad you put your canopy away before the storm, while on Lake Garda in the summer we didn’t one night, even with storm lashings ours got destroyed, luckily it was covered by insurance.

    • @VantasticAdventures
      @VantasticAdventures  Місяць тому

      Oh wow 😳 glad you were covered, with storm straps you'd think they would be fine but it's amazing when the wind gets underneath them - still scared of ours so it doesn't get used as much as it should 😂 Thank you for watching 🥰

    Hi both, we’re very close to buying either an Adventure 55 or 65 and wanted your help please. I am 6’1” and I’m thinking the rear bed will be too narrow (it is 6’1” wide!). So is the pop top warm enough to sleep in at any time of the year or is it draughty/cold in the winter months? Looking forward to your next vlogs. Thanks 👍

    • @VantasticAdventures
      @VantasticAdventures  Місяць тому +3

      Hello and great question! One we had too before we bought our van 🥰 We picked a Ducato based van for that reason, Iain is also 6'1" and the Ducato is the widest type of van without cutting out the sides and adding pods like on the Mercedes or VW vans when sleeping across the van. You can sleep fine but if fully stretched out feet do touch the side 😂 so Iain sleeps slightly diagonally which is another reason we went for the 65 over the 55 as the rear bed is bigger.
      The pop top has been fine for us up to minus 1c with just a duvet from home, we ran the heating before bed and as the heat rises it warmed the pop top enough to take away the chill. With an all season sleeping bag you would be fine and some people leave the heating on low overnight so it kicks in if it gets too cold but we are generally fine. We sleep up top whenever possible and will be away in November so will sleep in the pop top. It is like a tent but as it's raised you don't get ground damp or anything like camping in a tent.
      We are in our 5th year and still don't want to swap it for anything else 😁👍

    • @timnorton6522

    • @VantasticAdventures
      @VantasticAdventures  Місяць тому +1

      Thank you 🥰 it took around 5 hours with just a quick stop for fuel so comfortably 6 hours if you wanted a stop, it was a nice drive, no traffic and we used the motorway so there was a toll but it was quite reasonable considering the distance 👍

    • @VantasticAdventures
      @VantasticAdventures  Місяць тому +1

      Thank you 🥰 it was around 5 hours drive, we stopped once for fuel but that was it so maybe longer if you wanted to build in a stop for food etc - well worth the drive 😁

      Yes we stayed here mid October so missed the recent storms, hope the area can recover soon for all the lovely people we met there, the locals were so friendly it was absolutely heartbreaking watching the news this week - we hope the Spanish authorities can learn from the flooding and make provisions in the rebuild to avoid it happening again. Thank you for watching ❤️

    Hi can I ask what you had holding your awning down please 🍺🚐🇬🇧

    • @VantasticAdventures
      @VantasticAdventures  Місяць тому

      Sure yes of course, they are storm straps specifically for our awning which is Thule and they are the same brand. They work really well as strong plus they attach with a spring at one end so they flex slightly - the awning is much more stable with them although we still put away at night and then just reattach the next day 🥰

  • @suzyporter16
    @suzyporter16 Місяць тому +1

    Super campsite and great content, however, the music choice spoils it for us. The constant thumping sound (particularly on long journeys as in previous vlogs) is really irritating. Finding ourselves turning the sound off when you're not talking. Just a little niggle, hope you accept the comments cheerfully as they're not meant to be hyper critical xx😊❤

    • @VantasticAdventures
      @VantasticAdventures  Місяць тому +1

      Absolutely, thank you for taking the time to let us know, we genuinely love to get viewer feedback to help improve our channel as it grows and you make a really good point 🥰 Music is one of the hardest things we struggle with during editing and it's very subjective to the viewer, some will love it and others will hate it so finding a sweet spot or balance is quite hard. We always try and make it relevant to the video but in all honesty the library we use is very limited. To use music on UA-cam you need to have the permissions to use it or a licence hence why we can't use mainstream music etc. but we want to make it easy to listen too so really appreciate your feedback. The next few videos will probably have the same issue but for 2025 we plan to make some changes which will hopefully help and make it easier to listen too, fingers crossed anyway 😁 thanks for leaving your comment, we really appreciate it and it's taken exactly in the spirit meant 🥰

    • @suzyporter16
      @suzyporter16 Місяць тому +1

      We were struggling too. I don't think Iain's diction is as clear as Caroline's, but I think it's mainly a directional issue. It's picking up what's Infront of it, but less so what's behind. Not moaning. We love your videos, just trying to help!
