Thank you. Heat waves are so horrible when you live in a van and then we get whiny. Or at leat I get whiny. Joni is always a cool as a cucumber, what a great travel companion! 🥰 -Sara
I'm constantly impressed by how good your van is! I have a Winnebago Revel, which I think is quite a bit more pricey than an Adria Twin, and what happens when you remove the hinges from a window on the Revel? The window falls out 😂 Just one small thing of course, but a hundred small things add up. For example, our toilet doesn't have a fan, there's a vent but it somehow vents *into the van* when you drive and the toilet is full! 💩 I mean, I like my Revel, but if I had discovered your channel before I bought it, I would have looked into potentially importing an Adria Twin to US instead.
I have heard rumours about US build quality in vans and motorhomes, here in Europe 90% them are solid and hardly any problems. Driving with poop smell thats not right. I think you cannot import Fiat Ducato as it is to USA or Canada because of regulations. It would be nice to see Adria coming to your market, i dont know why any of the European brands has entered there beside Hymer.
@@Vantasticvan rumors are true, here RVs are notorious for terrible build quality. Many Revel vans have plumbing leaks and alternator charging issues within weeks of getting on the road. Mine had both in the first 3 months, and you pretty much have to fix it yourself -- Winnebago would book repairs for 6 months ahead, take the van for weeks, and then do a terrible job that would break again. Funny how there's no regulations for *that* 😂
Almost "when the shit hits the fan". You tackle challenges in an exemplary way. I went crazy when I was going to install wifi in the motorhome and couldn't do it. Had to call my son. Embarrassing!
Some people, like Nomadic Fanatic, will tell you that you do not need to rinse tanks every time. Joni, also, I will say you do not need a fan. I rinse three times every time I dump, and it is not a cassette toilet. But thoroughly rinsing seems to be critical. Our old fan was stinky but it was a new experience for us. Now, in the second van, diligent, thorough rinse three time has been flawless just trying to contribute and be he. 😊That said, Joni is a Handyman Genius!!!
Now we ordered two fans. Usually we do not want to own any extra parts because spare parts are so easy to find all around Europe. But it seems old computer fans are not easy to find.
Since Joni is so handy, I have to ask one thing. My motorhome windows have cracked, perhaps due to strong soap. Is it possible to just buy the plastic window? Not with the frame?
Joni, you have a big fridge. If you plan to spend more hot summers in Greece or Italy, or Spain, use at least 2 fans, (I have 4). One at the lower opening sucking air to the fridge and one in the upper opening pushing air away of the van. This way you create a continous stream of air and the fridge works like a charm. Hope this helps. Wish you a wonderful time
Meil on ZTE MU5120, toimii erinomaisesti. Nappaa toimivan netin missä miun S22 ultra ei saa yhtään tolppaa edes puheluihin. Mietittiin ulkoista antennia, mutta lopulta päädyttiin tähän, koska voidaan ottaa netti mukaan auton ulkopuolelle. Ostetaan siis aina paikallinen sim, omissa kännyköissä ei ole nettiä ollenkaan. (DNA numeroparkki)
I can no longer tolerate heat like you are experiencing. Haha... when I spent a lot of time outdoors and relieved myself there, I often thought of bears. 🐻
No-one can can tolerate these temperatures, eveything over 40 degrees is just inhuman and dangerous. Bears are majestetic creatures and they poop in the forest too.
@@Vantasticvan Yes I know that feeling ! Thats about our budget as well. Hard in the summerheat, easier in the winter..! I made it a sport...and Im a very bad looser... 🤐😁😂
Great video, it’s really hot for you, here in Swe it’s between 15-20 degrees a lots of rain.
Now it has been cloudy couple of days and 25c. Feels really cold and Sara is using wool socks. 😆
Hi, what App do you use to find your parkups in Greece? tnx Pieter

Thank you very much, safe travels
Joni is a Renaissance Man! Making decisions, fixing the van, taming horses and keeping a bright smile on Sarah's face! 🫡🚚
😆🥰
Thanks! This episode made Katie laugh a lot. Always love watching you guys.
🤣😆 Thank you ❤️
Thank you so much for helping that horse. You guys are great and I have loved watching you for at least 4 years now. Be safe and thanks again. 💞
Aww thanks for your kind comment and thanks for watching out videos for years 🥰
Just love you two and your attitude to life😊you always make me smile 😃 😅❤

Joni has been technician in the past, so problem solving is in his blood. 👌

It would be nice to also experience the bigger tanks that you have there in US, it has its benefits for sure!
Always best with a composting toilet to carry a spare fan. Quiet, good quality ones preferable 🙂

Really depends on manufacturer. Google lens is your friend, use that.

Now its easy to add more fans because we have the wiring already there.
Moi. Oliko teillä Teltonikan modeemi käytössä? Jos niin mikä malli ja toimiiko eri maissa miten? Tartteeko ulkoantennin?

@@Vantasticvanokei. Hyvä pointti. Ja tuohan toimii myös 4G simmillä. Saako ulkoisen antennin kiinni autossa ollessa?
Joo toimii myös 4G simmillä, ZTE MU5002 siinä on paikat ulkoisille antenneille, tässä ei oo.

The heat and humidity eats electric things. 7 Euro well worth to escape the city fast and find cooler, calmer place.
Seven euros is a small price to pay to escape the heat, but it feels alot when your daily budget is only 15e

Add fly net over the pipe
There is fly net, but its after the fan. :)
stuck. are you sure?
