    The roof tent looks really good when set up plenty of room and pretty cosy. Every where at moment is a bit of a bog fest but at least it gives you a chance to check it out before you set off on your adventures with it. Enjoy the rest of the week and stay stealthy.

    Love it, what would freak me out about the roof tent is, knowing I’m all zipped in but the ladder still being on the outside, I would just be thinking someone would climb up and get me.

    I done Europe and alps in June time. No trouble then with tyres obviously on roads. But higher altitudes you’ll still find snow as late as June/July blocking the high roads/off road trails we done. We started encountering snow around 7000 feet. I’d certainly get winter tyres although your unlikely to be stopped. We drove past in a convoy of 4x4s and only the Italian police took any notice. They just stared hard and didn’t get pulled over. I’d fit some cheap eBay tyres or get some decent used and have them fitted. Don’t use halford at £190 a type. That’s silly prices. Halfords aren’t cheap. Buy a set and have them fitted by a local tyre fitting garage

      @@wanderingwhere you’ll love Europe. Be sure to use Park4night to find the motorhome Aires. You probably are aware of them but they are brilliant. Anywhere between €10-30 a night if your in an area where wild camping is harder to find
      Motorway tolls in France can be pricey too. But they are long nice drives. France is also very laid back and avoiding motorways makes for a nice drive
      Really looking forward to your videos. I’m off to the Alps again in May. You’ll really enjoy yourself. Have a great trip mate and stay safe. Been watching your channel a while and your putting out some brillaint tent 👍👍

Don't know if you remember me telling you I live full time in my ford, but I took all the wood out to save weight, instead I got a fishing camping bed, A, because its lighter B the legs are adjustable, so if your parked on an angle you can adjust them so you don't have to worry about chocks lol.

    Hi Adam. As someone who has resided in Germany. As with France it law to have winter tryes for six months of the year. After the six months we reapply the summer tyre's and store the winter ones in the Garage with tyre covers. I hope that helps. Stay safe and what a great year your channel (you) has produced. Thank you. And wishing you a safe, healthy, adventurous 2024. 🎉🎉🎉

  • @JohnJohnson-lu9we
    @JohnJohnson-lu9we Рік тому

    Just search around on line for winter tyres if you find you need them. In most countries you only need them during a certain period. As regards the night time temps in the alpine regions, if you go after May, then the temp at night is well above zero. We go to Chamonix area, and sometimes at night in the summer months it's over 20⁰C at night, unless you camp well up, but even there you will be above 10⁰C.
    Just don't think you are going onto be cold at night !

    Why don’t you just fit a set of all terrain tyres that are winter rated? I fitted a set of Yokohama Geolander G015 all terrains to my caddy van and they are snow rated with the 3 peaks. This way you can still benefit from them when you get home in case you find some bog fest park ups. Also they give a 60,000 mile warranty to great value for money as they last much longer than regular tyres. Falken wild peaks are the same, so look at either of those two. 👍
