In my truck driving years before I officially retired I was told by a mechanic where the vehicle was serviced that when starting the vehicle to depress the clutch which in turn helps the starter spin the engine and thus uses less power from the batteries, I have done this ever since even with my petrol car.
Yes, the layshaft constantly turns & if the oil is cold & thick it can make a difference. Let the pedal up as soon as the engine has started so the gearbox can lubricate itself before you ask it to do any work.
Yeah I think if the owner of the land asks you to do something, you should do it. Plenty of sites about to go to. Happy Birthday Jack, hope you had a awesome day.
We think you should definitely listen to the owner. But, if you've paid and parked as indicated and correctly then we don't think the owner should pester people. We weren't in anyone's way hey ho 👍
Happy birthday jack 🎉 I am a truck mechanic in the UK, even new batteries can be problematic. I literally fitted a brand new pair to a truck today, and the trucks I work on (Renault) have a battery health meter/guage on the dash. Of the 5 bars (max health) only 3 were showing. They will come up and improve to full health when you use them and hopefully give you a few more years of trouble free use 👍
Something else you could use to save batteries which is a different option than a solar charger to your vehicle batteries. Could use a battery auto power remote disconnect which means you can isolate battery connection without disconnecting them and therefore avoid any drain on the batteries x
I would say that sometimes it’s better to just go along with what you are asked to do. You said that you refused to move when he asked you to as, you had a difference of opinion? I suspect it was at that point he decided that you were going to leave. His place, his rules. Also, why on earth have you left it so long to sort the batteries? You’ve known for ages that they were knackered!?
Happy Birthday Jack hope you enjoyed your day. Another great video guys, you are such a lovely family , glad your making best use of your time with the kids making memories. David
It's not the US, it's Europe. He can makes camp rules as long as they follow law but can't make up rules as he wants and how he wants. And rules had to be available for read at the time they booked their spot. Would have had a good laugh watching him trying to forcibly evict them and their truck if they decided to not move. Not even talking if they had renew their camp reservation on the app with automatic validation 😆
This is such a sweet comment. Thankyou so much ☺️ We've certainly got lots of cool photos to share of our trip up the mountain over on Insta this week 📸
Glad you got the new batteries in without any major issue. I wrenched my back removing my old solar batteries (5 x 55kg) so could feel your pain. I had a visit by the Swiss police one morning. It took them about 20 minutes of discussion and phone calls, but everything was okay in the end. Having a larger rig does present issues, but it does make travelling more exciting sometimes!
His land his rules, you are significantly larger than other vehicles if you are really honest. Better to just find another place to park not worth upsetting you all.
Yeah we get that. But, we weren't actually in anyone's way. We were parked well within the bay just like the rest of the motorhomes. He was fine with us the first 2 nights, just got his knickers in a twist on the last day 👍
Very unprofessional, any witnesses to that are unlikely to be back & they'll be telling their friends. It's not difficult to lose a lot of trade like that.
Englishman living in Germany, just bought our first motor home, Zugspitze was expensive but well worth it you can also get the train down through the mountain as part of your cable car ticket. All the best, subscribed for more adventures.
Just found your channel, guys. Have binge watched quite a few now!! Love the vlogs and how down to earth and real they are! Consider me your latest subscriber!
Another aswome vlog guys. Glad you got your batteries fixed, but what a mission to get them into the bay. them cable cars looked well dodgy and jack saying "we're all going to die!" was hilarious 🤣
Thanks for yet another great video post. I toured France every year in a caravan as a child with my parents/brother and other family every year for 6 weeks in the school holidays and loved it so very much. We spent alot of time in Eastern France close to where you stayed (in a place called Champagnole). It was a pay site with swimming pools and lots of tourist amenities so not quite what you do - but none the less a really great area within easy reach of Geneva and Chamonix etc just over the border. Sorry to hear about your bad experience in Germany with the eviction - but hey ho these things happen. Glad you got the new batteries as will cut down on the uncertainty and stress. The cable car was awesome - I am the same as Caira as it freaks me, but the end result up at the top is so worth it! Finally, Happy birthday Jack! All keep enjoying life as you deserve it :-)
Glad you enjoyed the video ☺️ Nice to hear you have fond childhood memories of adventures like this. We're over the eviction, agree these things happen and not everyone is nice. But what can you do. Cable car was a nice high to the week (literally) xx
Buy a Durite 12/24v battery boost pack, they’ve just released a new version too. We have them to jump HGVs and they start them even when the batteries are completely dead!
Great video as usual the views from.the top was azimg i must admit i be like kira it looked a bit scarey on the cable car happy 7th birthday Jack 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 x
Love your videos and adventures especially this one. Amazing views at the top of the mountain. You're very brave! Happy Birthday Jack🎈🎁 Was my youngest sons 18th birthday Thursday.
I had a battery drain problem in my renault madter camper, it turned out to be an additional battery in the van that is charged from the main battery which powers the central locking system which i didnt even know existed in vehicles 😮
I know where Tuttlingen is . I was born not too far away from there. And yes south west Germany can get really warm in Summer. It doesn’t get too cold even in winter. The climate is quite moderate and it has to be very cold before it snows and when it does it is only a light cover. Once you get high up in Switzerland it will be different. Up north and east Germany it is much colder. Never mind about the old grouch who kicked you out of that allotment. Those type of people are not that common. Generally people are very hospitable down south and very curious and friendly to visitors.
I’d certainly get a meter on the alternator just to ensure it’s giving correct voltage. Could also slap a self adhesive solar panel on the cab roof just to trickle charge the starter.
Hi. Love the videos. I use a separate solar panel and solar charge controller on my vehicle batteries alone. This means they are always fully charged and charging whilst parked up. Never had a problem since but before I used a solar panel I was having problems. Now I don’t worry when parked up along time. Maybe this helps. Keep the videos coming x
Welcome to Germany We live in France btw 🙂 My wife went to Germany a few year ago in our van and didn't like the people, I don't mine them (I do speak a bit of German) but Then I'm a grumpy old man so I guess I fit in with the Germans these days. Happy Birthday Jack 🙂 🇫🇷
Oh dear unpleasant xenophobic comments. I visited the Schwarzwald last month and most of the people that I came into contact with really lovely. I’m sure that a lot of people living in Germany but in my experience that’s very true of the U.K. as well.
@@davidmatthews3093Thanks for your comment. Each county has its culture and sometimes it's reflected in its people. But I know these days with all the woke culture and name calling if someone says something they don't like it's just the way things are. I'm just happy to be retired and as far away from it 😅.
@@davidmatthews3093 I have a place in the south of Spain. The "local" German men who have taken up residence appear to have no interest in local culture and their most used word seems to be verboten.

We are an Irish couple (in our 66th year) who have been campervanning for 10 years now since we retired. We've been following you for a while now and are in total awe of you. We cant imagine how it would be to tour full time with 3 kids. Our 2 are in their 30s now and on their own journeys. But please tell us that sometimes s**t hits the fan with 3 kids on the road. Just so that we don't feel like total failures in terms of parenting! ❤
Oh yes it most definitely does! We have to deal with everything that every other parents do. Teddy is our most difficult (would you believe it) 🙈 so if you ever find yourself parked near us and hear screaming... it will be his temper tantrum! xx
@Touringwiththekids Thank you for that! But you two really are brilliant! What a life you are creating for your children. Lots of Love to you all from Ireland! xxxxx
Just stumbled upon your channel…excellent stuff! I think we stopped over at the same stellplatz as you guys back in August? It was in Titisee in the Black Forest…we also did the nearby Hasenhorn alpine coaster you mentioned! 👍🏻
Hey yo you can win them all, I would have told him to do one lol - glad you finally got the batteries sorted, hopefully that’s the end of the issues with starting
good evening Kieria and Jack and Rich and Ted and the young girl and happy belated birthday I hope you are all well and enjoying your adventer in your motor home aboard please keep safe and warm and please say hi to the kids and please keep up your good work on your UA-cam channel
Hi, i enjoyed this video very much, its nice to see the place i grew up through different eyes. Too bad its all getting so expensive these days. When i was young, you could park and go so many places for free.
Happy birthday Jack, hope you were spoiled to bits it's a shame the man came over with their of paper & told u to move on...But on the other hand he must have seen the size of you're vehicle I. The first place when u c other camper vans you're one isn't that much bigger in size....But u did the right thing to move on & as u say you won't go back there... Enjoy you're break in the sunshine & take of yourselves..🚚👃
Hello Folks, I read a German news website every day and saw that the weather in parts of Germany and neighbouring countries is absolutely horrible at the moment and had to think about you guys. I hope you are alright and not stuck in the floods or even snow.
@@Touringwiththekids Try and stay on the western side of Germany as the East is having it bad as well. Cities like Dresden are experiencing floods and it's supposed to get worse over there
Oh wow just stumbled on your vlog & thought ooh I’ve seen that lorry. I was arriving at Wank as you were leaving. I managed to do all 3 cable car regions but I only pay for just one of me & it was still a lot. For 5 of you you’d need a mortgage 🤣🤑 look forward to following your travels.
Like you said, he's had a bad time with someone he couldn't take his frustration out on and you were the next best option for a man child. I charge from my solar to my engine batteries which not only means being able to start the truck no matter how long I stay somewhere but it also increases the life of them substantially. Would recommend.
@@Touringwiththekids Same system, its just one of those smart chargers connected to my inverter that I run a couple wires from the living area so I can turn it on and off and see whats going on to the batteries under the truck.
Loved this video, Your relationship with your children is inspiring. Look out to visit Gengenbach. We're not far from you but your videos are a few weeks behind our travels. Would love to bump In to your guys one day.
@@Touringwiththekids we are day 5 in of 30, currently in Strasbourg. We did several weeks around the romantic road last year, but much layer in the year.
Hope you had a great Birthday Jack, been watching you since you were a diddy little babe. My how you have grown up into a lovely funny and clever young man. 🎉🎂🧁🍦🍧
@@joergfeuerundflamme6627 l offered my place in Spain to long ago, never got a reply. Now I know that whatever you say to any channel owner on youtube is a total waste of time they are only interested in ebegging and that is why they are here. The channels in portugal all ebeggers and are doing all possto make money, nothing else.
I hope you get a chance to see Poland. Start of in Wrocław, Jelenia Góra & Karpacz, Sniezka. Travel east to Our Lady of Czestochowa, Krakow, Wieliczka Salt Mines. Then Zakopane on the Slovak border. Take the tram up to the top. Beautiful views! Can do the Dunajec River Rafting 10 per boat paddled by a local. Can see stork nests on cliffs.
But you need to resolve what the issue is the is discharging your batteries or else all you're gonna keep on doing is boost charging them or buy more new ones until you resolve the problem
All these cable cars and train routes are so worth the money, also in Switzerland. It may seem like a lot of money but the experience is impossible to value in money! See Jungfraujoch in Switzerland by train from Interlaken area, so expensive but years later and still one of the best things I did, even though I went to China and Australia afterwards!
Get yourself to the stellplatze at Klusserath. Plenty of room there on the banks of the Mosel. With regards to flat batteries, it maybe worth carrying a NOCO jumpstart pack which you can also use for charging all sorts of things up.
Happy Birthday, Jack. I'm sorry that you guys made the experience with a rude German but I can assure you that the majority are very friendly and some are even friendlier than I am
@@Touringwiththekids My son and I recently spend two weeks in Germany visiting various places and ending up in Berlin visiting relatives and buying some food stuff which I can't get in the UK. I noticed that where ever you go they charge you now the blimming tourist tax. I remember the time when only seaside resorts did that. In some places you don't even get a ticket for a free bus ride. Like Rick said, I felt a bit ripped off.
@@davidmatthews3093 Why? My son and I stayed in Youth Hostels in Wernigerode, Dresden and Leipzig, drove a normal car and still were charge the tourist tax. The towns and cities only do that to raise some money.
Jacks comment “we’re all gonna die” nudged a fond memory of a family trip up the Blackpool tower lift, on a very windy day, my little brother asking my dad repeated questions about the lift banging and the cables snapping etc. By the time we got to the top,the packed lift which was previously full of calm adults at the beginning changed to stampeding panicked ridden mob by the time we got to the top as they all rushed to get out first 😂😂😂
Thanks for all your lovely comments this week guys, it's so much appreciated! We know we couldn't do any of this without you guys 👍❤

He didn't speak any English perhaps because he was German and you were in Germany...
I don't think he's complaining about that, just painting the scene...

Absolutely gorgeous wasn't it!
go north, living in Flensburg since last year, we have had 3-4 days over 25grad C that summer. Best summer of my life!

What a joyous episode. Thank you for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it
Why didn't you just move like he asked you too. You don't own the land and therefore don't have the right to refuse.
They did move and he still threw them out.
It's not the US, stop this blattering that a owner can do absolutely whatever he wants on his land, you can refuse what he asks.
@Fe_lix yep you can refuse no problem . But wake up to a eviction letter
Great vlog as always. Interesting and edited fantastically. 🎉 Happy Birthday Jack, hope you had a great birthday! 🎉🇬🇧🎂🍰🧁🍨🍦🍭
Happy Birthday Jack, living your best life! Really loved this video, the scenery was amazing and made up for the Mr. Grumpy campsite owner.

Can you not disconnect the negative lead off the batteries while parked up? Know it's a faff, but at least they won't discharge while parked up.

Thanks so much ❤️
Hi, i enjoyed this video very much, its nice to see the place i grew up through different eyes. Too bad its all getting so expensive these days. When i was young, you could park and go so many places for free.
Thankyou so much, glad you enjoyed it x
Happy birthday Jack, hope you were spoiled to bits it's a shame the man came over with their of paper & told u to move on...But on the other hand he must have seen the size of you're vehicle I. The first place when u c other camper vans you're one isn't that much bigger in size....But u did the right thing to move on & as u say you won't go back there... Enjoy you're break in the sunshine & take of yourselves..🚚👃
Thankyou so much 😀 he had a lovely day and some nice presents 🎁
Hello Folks,
I read a German news website every day and saw that the weather in parts of Germany and neighbouring countries is absolutely horrible at the moment and had to think about you guys. I hope you are alright and not stuck in the floods or even snow.
Thank you for thinking of us! We're all okay and now heading north away from the area affected by the floods. Looks really bad 😟
@@Touringwiththekids Try and stay on the western side of Germany as the East is having it bad as well. Cities like Dresden are experiencing floods and it's supposed to get worse over there
Happy birthday Jack. 🎂😊
Thankyou so much 🥰
Oh wow just stumbled on your vlog & thought ooh I’ve seen that lorry. I was arriving at Wank as you were leaving. I managed to do all 3 cable car regions but I only pay for just one of me & it was still a lot. For 5 of you you’d need a mortgage 🤣🤑 look forward to following your travels.
Ahh that’s pretty cool! Doing all 3 must have been epic, but yeah we’d definitely need a mortgage haha 😝 thanks for following x
Happy birthday Jack hope you had a good one
Thankyou so much x
Like you said, he's had a bad time with someone he couldn't take his frustration out on and you were the next best option for a man child. I charge from my solar to my engine batteries which not only means being able to start the truck no matter how long I stay somewhere but it also increases the life of them substantially. Would recommend.
That's the set up we might go for. Do you have a seperate solar panel and charger for the engine batteries? Or is it on the same system? Thanks 👍
@@Touringwiththekids Same system, its just one of those smart chargers connected to my inverter that I run a couple wires from the living area so I can turn it on and off and see whats going on to the batteries under the truck.
Loved this video, Your relationship with your children is inspiring. Look out to visit Gengenbach. We're not far from you but your videos are a few weeks behind our travels. Would love to bump In to your guys one day.
aw thanks Clare, thats a really nice thing to say. Hope you are enjoying your travels too ☺️
@@Touringwiththekids we are day 5 in of 30, currently in Strasbourg. We did several weeks around the romantic road last year, but much layer in the year.
Ohh lovely, romantic road would be amazing around Christmas time I reckon ☺️ P.s. thanks for joining our Patreon ❤️ much appreciated!
Hope you had a great Birthday Jack, been watching you since you were a diddy little babe. My how you have grown up into a lovely funny and clever young man. 🎉🎂🧁🍦🍧
That’s so kind, thankyou 😀 just read him this message 🥰
Just come over to our place. Close to Lüneburg. You can stay as long as you want and for free.
@@joergfeuerundflamme6627 l offered my place in Spain to long ago, never got a reply. Now I know that whatever you say to any channel owner on youtube is a total waste of time they are only interested in ebegging and that is why they are here. The channels in portugal all ebeggers and are doing all possto make money, nothing else.
Happy birthday to jack hope he had a great day x
Thankyou x
ric you also started vlogging...wht a surprise
Have you had the alternator checked?
Yeah, the alternator is okay. Our battery charger has a function to check 👍
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACK 🎉😊
Thankyou so much 😍😍
Happy birthday Jack hope you had a great day
Thankyou, much appreciated 🎂
I hope you get a chance to see Poland. Start of in Wrocław, Jelenia Góra & Karpacz, Sniezka.
Travel east to Our Lady of Czestochowa, Krakow, Wieliczka Salt Mines. Then Zakopane on the Slovak border. Take the tram up to the top. Beautiful views! Can do the Dunajec River Rafting 10 per boat paddled by a local. Can see stork nests on cliffs.
Happy Birthday Jack! 🎉🎉
Thankyou ☺️
Happy Belated Birthday Jack!
Sounds like he took his frustration from both on to you!
thankyou x
@@Touringwiththekidsyour welcome! 😊
Happy Birthday Zack🥳
Thankyou! ❤️
Happy birthday Jack 🥳🍰🧁From Norway
Norway, we love Norway 🇳🇴 Thankyou!!! x
But you need to resolve what the issue is the is discharging your batteries or else all you're gonna keep on doing is boost charging them or buy more new ones until you resolve the problem
Absolutely. We're gonna get the system tested when back in the UK. As you say, there's obviously an underlying issue 👍
All these cable cars and train routes are so worth the money, also in Switzerland. It may seem like a lot of money but the experience is impossible to value in money! See Jungfraujoch in Switzerland by train from Interlaken area, so expensive but years later and still one of the best things I did, even though I went to China and Australia afterwards!
Very true, we would love to do that one in Switzerland. It does look amazing!
Love the scenes in Southern Germany!❤
It’s such a beautiful area 😍
How are you finding the 90 day in 180 rule? Who keeps track of your days?! Have you had an issue with this? Thanks for the video as always!
We mostly stick to the 3 month in, 3 month out rule (the exception being when we went to Morocco). We don’t find it any trouble 😀
It sounds like your alternator is on the fritz so keep watching out for your batteries👍
Get yourself to the stellplatze at Klusserath. Plenty of room there on the banks of the Mosel.
With regards to flat batteries, it maybe worth carrying a NOCO jumpstart pack which you can also use for charging all sorts of things up.
Ohhh nice will have to look that one up 😃
Happy Birthday, Jack.
I'm sorry that you guys made the experience with a rude German but I can assure you that the majority are very friendly and some are even friendlier than I am
Thankyou! We actually love Germany as a whole, just a shame about this experience 😊
@@Touringwiththekids My son and I recently spend two weeks in Germany visiting various places and ending up in Berlin visiting relatives and buying some food stuff which I can't get in the UK. I noticed that where ever you go they charge you now the blimming tourist tax. I remember the time when only seaside resorts did that. In some places you don't even get a ticket for a free bus ride. Like Rick said, I felt a bit ripped off.
@@hanshartfiel6394I blame people with camping cars.
@@davidmatthews3093 Why? My son and I stayed in Youth Hostels in Wernigerode, Dresden and Leipzig, drove a normal car and still were charge the tourist tax. The towns and cities only do that to raise some money.
Jacks comment “we’re all gonna die” nudged a fond memory of a family trip up the Blackpool tower lift, on a very windy day, my little brother asking my dad repeated questions about the lift banging and the cables snapping etc. By the time we got to the top,the packed lift which was previously full of calm adults at the beginning changed to stampeding panicked ridden mob by the time we got to the top as they all rushed to get out first 😂😂😂
Oh my gosh!!! Boys hey 👋 that’s hilarious 😆
