I've only just come across this video as I didn't get a notification from You Tube. I hope that by now you have made your decision about how to go forward, with or without this van. If it were me, I think I would go back to a motorhome. At least if you want to spend the occasional night on a proper site, you would be welcomed. I hope you are both keeping well and that your pup has recovered from his accident. x
Great vlog 😀shame to hear of your troubles , 😬hope the little doggo is all mended now , it’s a tough whether to keep going or change , but it sounds like you know your Van well and a new Van could be just as problematic, could be better the devil you know in this situation 😀👏
I understand your dilemma with what to do about your van. I went the route of keeping mine and spending a small fortune on it hoping it will do for a few years. Even buying another van, a younger van, it still doesn't eliminate the risk off something major going wrong and costing £s so I went with the saying "better the devil you know than the one you don't" lol. My van is 1993, so it's definitely getting on in years, it's simple though and only has a little past 100,00 on the diesel engine plus the chassis is still considerably good; that's why I kept it. Definitely weigh everything up before making a final decision mate 👍 I'm sure that vet bill stung, they always do.
Yeah, its difficult to know what to do for the best. We've already spent a few thousand on this van. Old simple mechanics might be the way to go, but there is still a risk with any vehicle as you say.
Hi ye Jimmy n belle.. The van is a hard one if ye like me I get attached to vans an end up throwing shit loads of money at them. I wouldn't get a motorhome there OK for on sites but no good for stealth camping. See ye later mate
Dude, get it sell worthy find an awesome motorhome like you had before, they always hold there money and if you spend on that with improving it you will be just investing money that you will definitely make back if you ever sell
I'd just get the things done and see where it takes you as you really only fix thi ng's once ... All the things you fix will help sell the van if you change youre mind
As you say there is a time when you have to call a halt. You do need to think about the cost of a replacement and any work needed on that, Difficult choice I am sure you will get there. Toots is a great name. I am just out of YT comment Jail so being careful LOL
My comments were getting deleted until recently too if that's what you mean by UA-cam jail Desmond. I stopped commenting on videos completely for one month and it pretty much was sorted except for a few so I kept my comments limited for the next month or two and as far as I can tell it's fine now; what a pain that was mate.
@@CaminoVentures Pretty mush what happened to Martin. Comments would disappear, people could see them and not reply and I could not edit them if they were there. YT would come back with a server error. All started working on Monday. Either that or it was the Happy Birthday I posted to some one 🤣🤣🤣
@@CaminoVentures All my comments were disappearing two minutes or so after I left them. Some creators found them in their spam folders. I recon someone had targeted/reported my comments as spam being spiteful because they didn't like what I had to say but I'll never really know for sure.

Oddly enough I've had comments dissappear from some of my videos. I assumed people had just deleted their own comments. 🤔
