    I think redoing the layout of your van to incorporate a walkthrough is 1000% the most worthwhile and productive use of your time and funds imaginable. From a safety standpoint to practicality.
    It doesn’t need to be large, pretty or even convenient, but having some method of physically getting your body from a giant room in the back to the steering wheel in the front without having to come into contact with the elements or facing folk(s) with unknown intentions at odd hours of the night or in desolate locations is absolutely *golden.*
    Just my 2 pennies.

We explained You Tube to her, and I think you have another fan !!! Well done Isobel and Tom for the best vlogs around. ❤

    BRILLIANT FILM IZZY!!!
    And thanks for letting us hear a taste of your New album "Solo Female Van Life" - the track list:
    1 "Don't Scratch the Van"
    2 "Tom's got the mirrors in a different location"
    3 "Air of these windows every day Hey Hey!"
    4 "I gotta big transit van, and I don't care"
    5 "Let's get cosy in the van"
    6 "You got it, it's just me in the van!"
    😂
    I know you like have your separate "cab-servatory" but that must be the 100th time I've wondered if you would benefit from at least having an emergency hatch in the bulkhead, from above the hob through to where the headrest of the driver's seat is (you'd need to remove the headrest and replace it with a cushioned pad fixed to the cab side of the new emergency hatch.)

    Tom is right, Home Bargains is full of absolute tat. Your singing forces a smile and you have that quality that few have in your ability to provoke positive emotion in complete strangers. It's a powerful talent Izzy.
    Love that you went solo but for me lost in transit is the powerhouse it is due to the amazing relationship you have with Tom.
    You did a brilliant job with the editing Izzy.

    I absolutely love this! So nice to see someone else who sings when nervous. When I went to Europe last year I spent most of my time singing 'i'm on the edge, just driving on the right' to remind myself what side of the road I needed to be on 😂 Be careful, solo travel is addictive 😊

    • @sunnymas2656

      With a british RHD car, you can say at continental europe: At your right hand = near at the border of the road.
      One guy has made a joke. He drove a RHD car in contiental Europe.
      At the left passenger seat he mounted a sceleton.
      So at first view, it looks that the bone scelet would drive the car.
      When I travel to the UK with my continental LHD Car - i would like to do the same.
      British people would love this kind of humor.

    I would definitely recommend to upgrade and converting your van to a walk through the front.
    Make this a priority sooner than later.
    Or Highly consider purchasing or trading in your van for a walk through van.
    It is a Safety option
    God’s Blessings to you Both
    Stay Safe Everyone...

  • @TX200MK2
    @TX200MK2 Рік тому +4

    My Question. Instead of a walk through, have you considered a bail-out hatch as a safety alternative ? Just an opening above the kitchen area, hidden by a curtain. Saves having to rebuild the partitioning wall. Just needs a folding step to give you a leg up on to the worktop, then through. Of course, your spice racks ond so on would have to be relocated...

    • @LostInTransit
      @LostInTransit  Рік тому

      Yeah, we are considering putting one in above the cooker, would have to get an angle grinder out to cut through the tiles, but would probably be worth it

    Hi, I had the same problem with my diesel heater. I replaced the leisure batteries with 2 x 100ah lifepo4 batteries, and a victory 12/30 dc to dc charger, never had the issue again, batteries have never dropped below 13V since the upgrade😊

    • @LostInTransit
      @LostInTransit  Рік тому

      We have 200ah lipo4 as well, I think there could possibly be a loose connection to the heater causing voltage drop, as the start up doesnt work even when sitting at 13v

    • @LostInTransit
      @LostInTransit  Рік тому

      Also the heater is pretty old now, so could be an issue with that

    • @PrimeDynamics
      @PrimeDynamics Рік тому

      Interesting that it works when engine is running, I’ve heard some diesel heaters demand more start up power over time. But maybe it needs to be wired directly onto the batteries, if it’s not already

    • @LostInTransit
      @LostInTransit  Рік тому

      The heater is just about the only thing that has stayed from the people we bought the van off. Im actually not sure how its wired, i will have to try and work it out at some point,

    • @LostInTransit

    This is more like luxury stealth camping. I just came here to see camp gear. I like the pillow idea, I want to do that. Besides a bucket, chair, solar panel and cooler. I got all my camp gear in 4 large duffle-like tent bags, furniture, and everything. I'm ready to go at any moment. It's amazing how this new camp gear folds down into a small size and almost weighs nothing. I'm a glamper I guess.

  • @jackierichards33
    @jackierichards33 Рік тому +1

    Well done Izzy. I get anxious about filling my car up with fuel. Living in Spain I always get confused which pump is diesel or petrol , so it’s even worse here. It’s ridiculous but every time I have to get fuel I look up a note in my phone to double check I’ve got the correct pump. I’ve been driving since I was 17. I dont think it was an issue when I was young & filled the car up every other week, but now that I’m a grandma and am seldom well enough to go out alone, filling the car occurs about twice a year. I’m inspired by your adventure and determined that when we next go out I’m going to put fuel in my car, even if my husband is sitting in the driving seat. Stage 1 towards a little more independence. 😅

    This was a nice video. Enjoyed seeing you push yourself outside the norm.
    One thing to watch is some Aldi carparks have parking eye on them. Which is when they scan your plate and if you stop over 2 hours you get a fine. Most supermarkets have max stay time even if they don't explicitly say no overnight stays.
    Only just seen your channel. Then instantly recognisable Bodmin ASDA petrol station. I've filled up there every time I come to Cornwall from the Midlands (3 times a year for the last 20 years!)

    You might not need to rebuild much for a crawl-trough hatch in the wall, either permanently open, or with an emergency hatch you can pull and crawl into the drivers seat to take off.
    I would probably go for a removable hatch since it is better to separate the compartments in cold weather and just leave it open during summer.

    Actually the first video of your I’ve watched and I think it’s a brilliant look - nice van (lots of questions - only ones of envy) your funny, funny! Gonna check out your other content - I was chuffed to see you picking vegan foods - how are those Katsu fillets? I’ve been eyeing those up on my lunch breaks 😊
