    Who are Trist and Kez
    We’re Trist and Kez, a couple in their 40’s. We’ve sold everything for a life on the road. Come and join us as we show you our Van life UK Travel Series. We show the best spots for van camping, hiking and exploring, from the countryside to the coastline of our home island.
    👫🐶 Our aim as (another) van life couple (and our dog and cat) is to document each UK road trip we take, sharing tips and tricks for van camping in the UK. In summary, we want everyone to be able to access the magic that van life UK opens to us all. Adventures in the great outdoors. We also appreciate that travelling in a van with a dog isn't always the easiest, therefore everywhere we share is 100% dog-friendly.

    I love how you cut out how much of a ballache it is to turn the front seats around. I had a Camelot too and it was an amazing van but the bed setup is painfull.

    Gertie has all the ticks in the right boxes for functionality. Modern designers need to take note. Is she really only 5 metres, or did I miss hear? Lovely old gal!

    • @TristandKez
      @TristandKez  2 місяці тому

      Thanks Andrea, Old Gertie does have a lot going for her. We still can’t believe everything you get inside a Talbot Express in what’s a pretty small space.
      Yep she is only 5m long, the same as our old VW T5 but with so much more inside. Hope you enjoyed the van tour and our filming of Old Getie. Hope you’re having an awesome Sunday and weekend 😎🤙

    Do low emission zones give you any problems ?
    I’m gonna be starting van life soon and I’ve never had to think about this, but I do realise I drive through these without even realising (in a compliant vehicle for now)
    Not London as I don’t go near the place I’m in the north.
    The reason I ask this is because it’s not going away (too much money to be made) it’s only going to get worse.

    • @TristandKez
      @TristandKez  3 дні тому +1

      Good question Bob. We’ve only had to go to into London once due to traffic. Other than that we steer clear of these areas for now.
      But it looks like more and more places are jumping on this so only time will tell.

    Have you had any major trouble engine, gearbox or expensive breakdowns 😊

    • @TristandKez
      @TristandKez  2 місяці тому +1

      Hey Terry, we are actually going to do a video on running costs, fixes etc over the last year. Only major thing has been the exhaust manifold but that wasn’t a breakdown issue. Had a couple of none starter issues but they were sorted by the AA. Would a video like this be of use to you?
