    Fab video as always, I loved our trip to the Falkirk wheel and Kelpies, we didn’t get to see them at night so great to see your night shots! You’re absolutely right too, we found in Scotland everyone has been really nice, only negativity I saw was in video comments, not in real life which is great. Great to see the dog station, what a lovely and helpful thing to have . We ❤️ Scotland. Hope you both have a fab week, All the very best, David & Rachel 👍

I just need to fit the new renogy inverter, new dc to dc charger, etc etc as well as fettling with Viv's innards (oohhh er misses) when I return from minding the furbs in Skipton. You weren't wrong when you said vans are never finished, Neil lol. that Jackery is a great bit of kit. Wish my afeiry had an app. i have to rely on the screen 😮‍💨 great video and you both and the puppers really look like you are embracing life and enjoying it-except for the moment, Em.

    Greetings from Scotland! Aye, we've been given bad press without proper evidence. As you said, clean up, take your waste/rubbish with you and park with consideration - it's not rocket science! Some people behave atrociously, they are the ones who get asked to leave, quite rightly! I know this is a problem all over the UK, not just in Scotland and I've seen some horror stories in Wales and England too! My wife and I travelled all over Europe, full timing, between 2007 and 2018 after living in The Highland Region for most of our lives, before returning to Scotland and now living in a !"proper" house, well a bungalow actually, so we understand "motorhoming".

      Just out of interest, what countries have you been so far? France and Italy are kings of freecamping and cheap "aires". They worked out that if you bypass villages with autoroutes the village dies, so they usually have decent parking areas in or on the outskirts of villages/towns because they know people will generally eat and shop locally, keeping the village alive. They have had tremendous success! (Sorry, I talk way too much!)

    Love your banter! I travel to north Scotland every year (man and a tent) and find a very good welcome in every place I go. When I talk to site owners and locals in the more remote places the only frustrations I hear about are due to inconsiderate and/or inexperienced drivers blocking roads, parking like (to use your expression) knobheads and dumping their waste. And I cannot blame them for being annoyed. As you say - be considerate, pay for using the facilities and you'll have a great time. Beautiful country; I love it. PS. I keep meaning to stop at the Falkirk Wheel but haven't got around to it yet - and I drive past it every time! I suppose that makes me a k...head! 😄

    I need to go back here so much I haven’t been to Scotland since 2017 :(

      You can stay at the Kelpies overnight for around £12 and the wheel is £15 for 24 hours so you could go the the wheel early, leave go see the kelpies and then go back and stay at the wheel and even have a discounted breakfast in the morning so there’s a couple of different ways you can do it

    Neil, try cleaning the earth cluster under the van, the rear marker light earth's are on the nearside box section, near the forward leaf spring mount (i've had the same problem). The earth for the middle and front marker lights are under the drivers seat. Hope that helps. Great video and keep up the good work

    • @UrbanVanlife
      @UrbanVanlife  2 місяці тому

      We haven’t used a bluetti 180 so can’t say what that is like, but the anker c1000 is a good power station we used one in Doug for a two week trip in Scotland and it didn’t let us down. We have the ecoflow delta 2 in the van and have had for a while as it has also never skipped a beat! Have a look at your power usage and what you need it for and go from there!

      He’ll go when he gets over his fear from having teeth ripped out of his head at a young age from a school dentist who later got fired for his practises, but until then don’t think it’s a nice thing to ask personal questions that don’t actually have anything to do with the content, not something I would do personally but that’s just me as you never actually know someone’s personal struggles.
