@@nedhinds hi Ned, and thanks for your kind words, much appreciated and glad we could help. France really is a brilliant and easy place to use a motorhome, you’ll love it 😊 the last of the French vlogs is out tomorrow, it shows our costs over the 9 weeks, should help you a bit as well.

Brilliant info, thank you. Would have been nice to see links to get the recommended products that you used such as the straps and wheel lock. Looking forward to seeing your next vlog.
@@Patriciawood-l3s thanks Patricia, very kind of you to feedback. We’re glad it was useful, good luck planning your upcoming trip 🌍 Cheers 🍻 for watching 👀 Andrew, Jane & Buddy 🐶
Another fantastic informative and very funny vlog. Just another 2 things we thought of. Something that Andrew I think would like is "French Passion" ooh eerr!!! Its a book/website full of interesting places to stay eg vinyards, cidre farms etc, bit like Brit Stops. Also we have a great app to track your shengen days as i find it impossible with my small brain to work it out. Enjoy your travels through France.☀️😃
Hi Graeme, lovely feedback, thanks. 🥰 A couple of good tips there for anyone reading the comments, especially the one about having French passion!😂 Cheers 🍻 for supporting the channel 😎 A, J & 🐶
Only just found you this week but I’ve caught up now, I spotted the stone trough video I live within walking distance, it’s amazing and always busy great business idea they had , anyway I’m digressing. Very interesting blog about Europe especially France I’ve never been in the van but my circumstances are going to change drastically in the future and I will be looking forward to travelling overseas, loved all the tips some of them I do over here , racheté straps etc, the only thing that worries me is the driving on the right especially on my own as I think it would be difficult at junctions to see properly maybe I’m overthinking it and I’m sure that you will get used to it after a while but I could have dinged my van several times before then 🤣. I’m waffling now so will just say great videos and will be waiting for more . I seem to recognise Jane from somewhere! I worked in retail in Nelson for 13 years many years ago so maybe that’s why. Have fun wherever you go and enjoy.
Well Caroline, welcome to our little channel, and congratulations for winning the award for “longest comment ever” 🥇 😂😂 We are from Burnley, my parents are in Nelson and Jane’s in Cliviger. Jane not worked in retail, but did spend a lot of time in Booze Busters, if that’s where you work! 😂😂😂😂 Don’t overthink the driving abroad, it’s easy, more so as the roads are so quiet. You can always give us a shout for advice, we’d be happy to help👍 Many thanks for your kind words and for supporting our tiny channel. Andrew, Jane & Buddy 🐶
Cheers David 🍻 not used one yet, been completely off grid for about a dozen nights! Got plans this weekend to try one. Merci de faire partie d'Eurosully 👍 A, J & 🐶
Andrew / Jane. Really concise info covering lots of aspects of travelling to Europe thanks.Some I knew and some I did not. The best advice and something I did not know was “What’s best to suck along your journey” Can I just say other mints are available and my personal choice being a Murray mint 😁👍
Absolutely loved this vid. Really tickled my fancy!! Not sure Bud's looking forward to the trip all those jabs and tablets. Think the door barricade is more for keeping those French onion sellers out rather than French fillies.
Hi Rosie, you’re probably right, there’s actually not been a single French philly at the door!! 😢 Buddy 🐶 is now in his element, sat out in the sun ☀️ licking 👅 his own 🍆 😂😂😂 Thanks for supporting our channel 😎 A, J & 🐶
All you need now Andrew is a beret and some onions to match your socks and footwear!! 😊 I have heard stories of bandits robbing folk by driving alongside them telling them they have an issue so they will stop. Also throwing eggs at the windscreen so you automatically put your windscreen wipers on and it smears the window so bad you have to stop. But I am sure you will be fine with all that security gear. I would also mention home insurance. Some folk will be leaving their uk homes empty for the duration. Make sure your home insurance covers you while away. Usually it’s a minimum of 30 days, but worth checking. Great vlog as always. Keep safe and enjoy your time in main lane Europe. 👍
Hi again Ian, some brilliant points there mate, hopefully others will read the comments and benefit from them. Thanks for supporting the channel 😎 A, J & 🐶
Those socks…… did you win the bet lol Great video but very jealous, we were meant to have been starting a 6 week tour on Sunday but broke down on the way to Plymouth port 🙁. Motorhome recovered and relayed to our dealers just today. Big up for Caravan Guard who were excellent
Everyone will be wearing them soon!😂😂 shame about your breakdown, hope you get it sorted soon, and without costing you a kidney 💵 Cheers 🍻 for supporting the channel 👍 A, J & 🐶
I did write another comment after watching the rest of the video, asking for a link to purchase some Baguette Smugglers but made the mistake of mentioning the BIG A, so my comment is gone! 😂 Thanks so much for making us laugh today, really enjoyed your vlog and so many helpful tips in this one. I did wonder how you get out of the van with all the doors tied up?! 🤣 I'm very interested to see how you get on with the camping card thingy, it sounds like a good idea for busy times. Good luck Andrew with fighting off the French Fillies 🤣
You do crack us up Vanessa 😂 thanks! We only use full “lockdown mode” when inside the van, to make sure nobody can break in before I wake up and tackle them, not on campsites, just at places where we are a bit on the wild side 🦁
Hi guys, so helpful thank you. Lots of new things on your video that I didn’t know, the travel stuff was very very helpful thank you. Also the driving and road signs so thank once again. Ps what you sucking on… 😅😂❤
Glad it was useful Susan, we appreciate the feedback 👍 Whilst I like to suck on a Worthers Original, Jane much prefers to suck on a Fisherman’s Friend 😂😂 Thanks for supporting the channel 😎 A, J & 🐶
Great video, we have returned from a 7 week tour of France.I was wondering about getting cctv but your baby monitor is a great idea.What brand have you got .Thanks in advance
@@ericapearson9925 hi Erica and thanks for your kind words 😊 I’ve lost all the packaging and can’t find it on EBay anymore, but all the baby monitors seem to be the same with a different name on the EBay adds. As a typical northerner, I bought the cheapest at around £15 💰😂😂😂 Cheers 🥂 for watching 👀 Andrew, Jane & Buddy 🐶
The best plan is not to have one 😂😂 Think you will like the Camping-car Park. We have used it on our last 2 visits to France and found it very good. Simple and easy just like myself 😂😂. Some great tips on ya vlog have a great time. We are off to explore Portugal for 5 weeks in July and August can't wait. Safe journey 🙏
Hi Keith, yes, plan not to plan, we share your sentiment 👍 Portugal 🇵🇹 will be ace, warm too! 🌞 you’ll have a right old time of it! Thanks for tuning in and supporting us 👍 Andrew, Jane & Buddy 🐶
Evening both, Loving the vlog and all the helpful tips, Now the bad news what about us poor relations the caravanner 😢, only joking guess most of the rules apply to all. We love watching and hopefully one day joining the M/H gang. Take care and enjoy Europe. Paul and Joanne 👍 😍
Glad you like the vlog, I guess most of the info is transferable to a caravan, other than the ability to use Aires/wild spots. Thanks for supporting us Paul & Joanne 😎 A, J & 🐶
A question for you both ( as not sure who's responsible for the documents) you have all your vehicle paper work in a file folder. The question is " what do you do with it when you are out and about?" Do you take it and your passports with you or hide it in your van? 🤔 Keep up the good work educating us newbies 😊
Jane takes a bum bag with spare keys and passport’s/vital documents. Other documents get hidden in an inaccessible place in the van. Hence the digital backups on the web etc. not sure there is a completely fool proof way, but our main priority is not to leave spare keys in van or passports. Some insurers won’t pay out unless you have both sets of keys and having a passport stolen is a massive headache. Not as fussed about losing a V5 hard copy. It’s a £25 headache and never yet have we been asked to show it. Cheers for watching 👀 Merci de faire partie d'Eurosully 👍 A, J & 🐶
@@Eurosully that's very informative (as usual) Also hats off to jane for her video editing (especially when you are on the move) I've just started with our channel, mainly for our children to know what we are up to, so I am well impressed. Out of interest what software does Jane use? Regards Campervandaze
Some decent tips for first timers or people thinking about it, security you take are all easy common sense and only take a minute, we take very similar measures but not when we are sleeping in it, just incase we have to move away on the quick, we've been using camping carpark for some years now and have had some great stops, and to date never a bad one, worth looking at the ex campsites on the CCP app, as some have pools etc, and as you say not a lot of money, I was surprised buddy wasn't top of your security tips😂, but apart from that, another enjoyable vlog keep them coming 👍.
High Stephen, yes, we vary how many of the security measures we use depending on situation, if inside I’ll negate steering lock in favour of a rapid drive off. Buddy would just lick them to death 😂 Thanks for supporting the channel 😎 A, J & 🐶
@@Eurosully it was the only place in northern Norway where I noticed the priority change and people just trust you will let them out. It certainly caught me out and seemed extremely dangerous! But I’m pleased I watched your video about the Polar Brat association what a bit of fun. Have you framed your certificate? 😊
The Red triangles are being made redundant as they're considered not safe. The law changed in 2021 and becomes mandatory 2025. The new regulation requires a V16 Led beacon instead of the triangle
Ooh! 😮 nice one ☝️, thanks for the update. I’ve seen the beacons in relation to Spain, can’t wait as it’s an excuse to spend on technology! 💰 😂 Thanks for watching 👀 Andrew, Jane & Buddy 🐶
Hi Janette, thanks for commenting 👍 yes, some French 🇫🇷 motorways are tolls, but not all. We always set satnav to avoid them, then take our time seeing the small villages. We’re now a few hundred miles from Calais and have not yet paid a toll 💰 😎 Cheers 🍻 for watching 👀 us Andrew, Jane and Buddy 🐶
Didn’t know the priority on the right rule or sign , probably been swearing at those foreign drivers 😂. Most important thing to take is the Werthers original which after 4 weeks in Norway we have just run out of 🫤 Hoping they sell them on the ferry back to Denmark on Sunday
lol, you’ll be giving us brits a bad name driving like that!! 😂 good to know I’m not then only one who likes something to suck while driving 🍬 👅 😂 Hope you had a good trip, Norway is a cracking place! Thanks for supporting our channel 😎 A, J & 🐶
