    I have only just caught up with this video, well worth the wait, so lovely to see such a lovely family going about places travelling and having lots of fun, this video has cheered me up struggling quite abit at the moment plus feeling rather unwell at the moment, plus have had some other stuff going on ❤😊

    How have you possibly been to Bruges several times and never been to Markt/market square? It's literally the main bit! The bell tower, the Christmas market etc. I'm actually gobsmacked! lol But anyway, glad your face is better! Love your vids, and the van conversions. 😊

    Think of the The AC power rating being like your microwave rating, the posted power rating of 2400W is actually the output power with just 4.2A (1000W ish) being the input power draw

    I hope you took that sun cream back to the shop!!! I have spoken to several people with really big vans, and was once offered an American Coach type Camper, it had just 16k on the clock, for a song....To be honest, there are not so many sites that will even let you through the gates. Others will charge you for two sites. This is something that many do not consider, and there is an alternative fortunately. Lidl and many other Supermarkets will give you a free park for the night, you just have to do a shop for more than a specified amount. In UK too, there are a few supermarkets who will offer you a one night stop.

    Hello. You were saying about other big Motorhomes , where do they go ??? I would have to said that they go to one or two places and park for their stay. As a 6 wheel 5 ton. Motorhome owner. I always remember that it’s 5 tonnes (. So wet grass is a no no !! ).
    As for places to stay. Try just looking at Map and put in campsites. That way you should find farms , as well Wish You Well.

    I would guess that while parked up you wouldnt use as much power on everything else therefore the aircon would run at some sort of 'idle' speed and require less voltage? pure guess though, I have absolutely no technical knowledge on it so please dont listen to a word i say!!!!! Looks lovely there, would love to visit that area of the world

      We did have a beautiful golden retriever Bella, we haven’t talked about it as it upsets us but we did have to let her go to another beautiful home. She had terrible travel sickness and we tried for a couple of months to remedy this for her but to no avail, she would violently vomit and diarrhoea every time we travelled which for us is a lot and we didn’t wish to keep putting her in a kennel every time we travelled it wasn’t fair on her.

    I wondered on your last video if you had an allergic reaction to the sun cream. My husband uses Calypso all day sun cream but I hate the chemical smell it chokes me. It's cheap compared to others. I used Tesco sun cream one year and got burned. I usually use Avon, and that's been fine, but maybe you should think about a better make,maybe one for sensitive skin as your skin will take a while to get back to normal. You must have been in so much pain.
