If you have an accident Rosie's neck will get broken in a collar, a harness is much safer for her. Also if you are holding the lead the first thing you will do if you or the children are injured is let the lead go. Someone then opens the door and Rosie runs out into the road in panic. This is one of the main reasons dogs must be restrained properly along with the need to stop them being thrown through the windscreen. God forbid anything like that happens. Rosies lead could be attached around your seat frame maybe.
A number of people have mentioned Rosie’s safety so how about fitting a harness which allows her to ly down when in the cab, it could easily be attached to her bed in the cab and she sleeps most of the journey so it would be ideal. I know she’s a handful on a lead when walking so suggest you get a harness for her which gives you more control of her. I have splurged watching all your vids to get the full background lol. Love them and love how you parent the kids who are lovely ( I know we don’t see all the fights and tantrums lol). One other thing re your batteries, you can get small lithium battery packs which will start your engine if the batteries go down . I know money is tight but they are a good investment Keep safe and happy travelling
Very recently found your channel. Absolutely love watching them. I think what you are doing for your young family is tremendous. What a life you are all having. The experiences you are sharing together could not be found in books. Your children are all amazing, but Teddy is an absolute little cutie. He is a great little chef. Keep up with the videos. ❤
Thank you so much! That is such a lovely thing to say. We try our best to show our kids the world and the time we get to spend together is so precious! Ted’s a lovely little angel on camera, but believe it or not he is our most difficult child 😂
Please restrain Rosie in the lorry my dads dog Tweedie always went in his lorry to work with him and one day a drunk driver pulled out in front of the lorry Tweedie was thrown against the wind screen and was left with brain damage and epilepsy my dad felt forever guilty even though it wasn’t his fault. Love your vlogsxx
ROSIE must be harnessed if in an accident she doesn't run off and not distract the driver too should not just hold her lead enjoy your vlogs have fun 😊
Lovely to see you continuing your travels. Your children will have a fantastic memory bank to reflect on and remember in their lives. Fingers crossed Tori is recovered soon 🙏 Many people have mentioned a more secure & safe way for Rosie to travel, harness and fixed point to secure and she will be fine . Safe travels guys, lovely to see your smiling faces 😊
I love your vlogs and hope you are getting a harness for Rosie. Nothing to say you can't keep the lead on her, but it is safer for travel to have a fixed harness. For her as well as you. An exciting moment could distract you when you are driving.
Love seeing your videos, we have just been on a trip to france and we were totally blown away by poy du fou and i can confirm you can fit in the car park there too!
For Holland you would of needed to pay a vignette, easy to do online, Belgium you can get a toll box from a service! Hopefully you don't need to being a camper! I hot a 500 euro fine for no toll box in Belgium in my truck! You would need a toll box for German too! Dont worry about 3.5t signs go through them all the time in my artic!
👋 We're the Brits that gave advice about the mine. Blimey, that tour was looonggg for us adults! Glad you were able to make use of all the free stuff at the park up. What a gem!
Hi my battery on my bus can get too low to start if im parked for a few days. I think its because of the tacograph. I had an isolator switch fitted by an auto electrician. So when im parked up i turn off the main battery. I am going to fit a some solar in future and have a fancy switch that can be used in an emergency to allow the leisure battery to help the starter. Ive also got a charger with a starter function for when we are plugged in which is handy when we are back at base.
Wouldn’t it be great if UA-cam were to allow you to hit the ‘Like’ button more than once during a video 😃 I frequently find myself wanting to hit like when watching videos 🙂
I live in Bristol. and one mine which is worth a visit is the big pit in blenavon you get taken down into an ex working mine by a coal miners who used too work there
Such happy memories of getting the Boat to Belgium. ;) The Ardene region is our favourite. So many memories. Boys are in their twenties now. It went so fast! But we did some canoeing in the Ardene when they were small and we have never stopped. Just got back from kayaking around the north of Vancouver Island. The seeds of adventure you sow now, will flower.
I've been on the pride of hull countless times as a coach driver. It's a lovely ship. You should try the main restaurant the next time you are on. The rugrats will love it.
@@alanhat5252 it's common on the Mercedes 7.5t to get a low battery after a few days parked. They used to have a terrible habit of the flywheel demolishing itself after a period of time too. I was a shunter at JD Sports for a long time and they ended up swapping the fleet to MAN trucks after these repeating problems.
You do need a harness for the dog , your children are in seat belts so are mum and dad . Don’t risk a fine , love following your family in all the places you visited, my four would have loved this life , enjoy have fun keep safe 😎💕
Great video apart from the flat battery at the end. I hope you got it sorted and also got aome new more reasonably priced sandals for Jack! Take them ones back to Go Outdoors when you get home! Its been roasting hot here in the UK. 🔥
Awesome start 😢 poor Tori, hope it's nothing major, please consider a harness, please please please, I know I mention it in most vlogs but I need you to really understand, if anything happens to Rosie, you will never forgive yourself 🙏🏼 emergency stop isn't good for dogs with in a collar's, necks can break & so could windscreen... I'm not being mean, love your channel & you guys 🌹🔥❣️
Luxembourg is a lovely little country - some great castles to visit, though places like the Schiessentümpel/ Schéissendëmpel Waterfall (more of a pretty bridge over a small river) and Esch-sur-Sûre might be a bit of a challenge in your lorry. I hope you get your lorry running quickly, though the park up looked a pretty good place to get stranded! Can you get jump packs for lorries ... all the ones I've seen are 12V not 24V. Good luck!
We had the same problem with our Atego this week, one of the two batteries had decided to die luckily our local garage found us one to keep us going till they can source a matched pair. Batteries are not as good as they used to be, hope that's all that is wrong with your's keep the vids coming they are great.
Omg guys I hope your all ok ? What happened to the lorry ? I hope u found someone or something to get ya lorry started 😢 thinking about ya guys keep us updated plz worried about yas xxx
Hello. 1. Slow drain on either on one battery or both batteries. Could be Alternator not fully working Check batteries , if one is down ,m you could get a jump from a 12v ( providing it works instead of u/s battery. It’s a bit odd that your solar system is not re charging the vehicles batteries. Last resort. New batteries. Wish You Well
Hi back on the road again Loving it Your going to have to purchase a 24v power pack For that emergency You will only have to use it once and that will pay its way
I'd get a auto electrician to do some tests on your alternator etc you must have something that is draining your battery when your lorry is parked up could be a bad earth or something simple
Shame. Such a good start too. It really is a lottery whether they take cards in a lot of Europe. I’ve got used to having sufficient cash; but it can be a real pain sometimes. Great video again 👌💙❤️
Ric you need to try honey from your home town but that will not help you as you travel around so try some local honey and it might help your hayfever best wishes x
24:03 This is the Spanish issue resurfacing - you left Spain with a knackered battery clip. You showed it to us. You're risking vapourising the connecting post off the top of the new battery. The clip is €5 & takes 10 minutes to fit if you spend the extra time to clean everything by pouring boiling water over it & then Vaseline the end of the wire, the post & the new clip. Good luck xx
good night Kerala and rich and the children I love watching your UA-cam videos on your channel I hope that you are all well and enjoying your adventures every where you end up in please keep up the good work that you are doing for everyone to watch every time on your UA-cam channel please keep safe and warm thanks again
Loving what you guys are doing. .. Trying to convince my family to do the same 😂 Just wondered why after being in Suffolk you didn't take the ferry from Harwich to the Netherlands rather than Hull saving you that nasty journey and stress??
That's true. Doing the overnight is also a good way to break up the journey. When we went to Holland we did the day ferry and the kids needed to be occupied for 6hrs...stress 😂 Looking forward to your further adventures and further videos to convince the family at least to do some longer trips.
@@Touringwiththekids”not commercial” yeah but didn’t you say the V form still says 7.5ton commercial not Motorhome? Anything regarding fines for commercial vehicles or any of the legality’s would be based on your V form. Get it changed to Motorhome before you get in a world of pain and red tape over something.
Hi Keira. I’ll take the dog and the noise, every time. Even with my “Dad advantage “, where kids are less inclined to go totally overboard than with Mum, it’s still a confined environment with no way to escape, so things are bound to kick off.
I’ve a couple of concerns, hope you don’t mind me saying but I’m always vexed that your two eldest can’t enjoy looking out of a window at the side of them. I know you mentioned a while back you were going to get windows fitted for them, that would make their journeys much more comfortable and enjoyable. Will you be fitting a harness for your lovely Rosie, just a tad worried she doesn’t have one? Looking forward to your next episode hoping you are all ok.
We're still looking for windows. We can get universal windows easy, but the fit isn't perfect. It's surprising how much they can see from the back seats with the large front screen. We have now got a harness and anchor point for Rosie. Thanks for the comments 👍
Great video! I'll have to visit the town you've went to in Belgium myself sometime (I'm in Troyes, France at the moment so not too far) Sorry to hear about the lorry struggling to start, do you think it's battery/starter motor related?
I am sure that I would enjoy your videos a lot more if I were not so concerned about Rosie’s safety. Please please find a safer place for her to travel. I don’t think I will sleep tonight worrying about her!😢
Ooh, that’s not good. That’s the problem that would put me off van life on the continent. Anywhere on either of the islands, I can sort out any sort of starting/running/charging issues and even small to medium mechanical troubles, at the roadside. But on the continent I’m stuck with breakdown insurance and, based on my research, they won’t recover anything bigger than a people carrier, or small panel van. That’s scary, with an elderly, or high mileage ex-commercial vehicle. Hope you guys get it sorted out. Lack of a teaser for next week’s episode suggests you hadn’t solved it by the time you were posting this one. Best of luck
Why don’t you contact TOPDON they do a battery booster pack that can help when you need power to start your truck. They might even sponsor your video. 👍
Good idea I have there scanner BT800 and jump pack JS2000 great kit for the prices and does everything I need, don’t know if top don do a 24v pack though?
@@richard3004 yes I’ve seen there scanners being used on some of the channels. Your correct topdon don’t do a 24v booster But Sealey and Durite do a 24v booster pack.
@@deekthetrucker5885that’s why I got my topdon from recommendation from other Channels and for the prices can’t beat it, I’m surprised these don’t seem to carry a breakdown box, even on UK holidays I always take a box with decent sockets set, tape, ties, tyre pump, small bottle jack booster and scanner etc, even though I have RAC cover if it’s something I can sort eg flat tyre I’d sooner pull over swap wheel and get going that sit on a hard shoulder for 4 hours plus with a 4 year old waiting on Rac. Even if I don’t need breakdown tackle if I’m anywhere where someone else needs it then it could help them too.
@Touringwiththekids A midweek update might be cool. Perhaps a more raw, less edited bits of your adventures that you perhaps wouldn't put in the main video. Much like some creators are doing on a 2nd channel
I like the auto scrambled eggs, "oh yes I'm just filling the vending machine, now where shall I put the eggs, oh yes on the forth shelf " Derrrr what a numpty, STICK EM ON THE LOWEST SHELF GIVE EM A SPORTING CHANCE. You can't teach stupid.
That's not a drop vend, it's a robotic vend. You see the white toothed rails up each side of the glass? That's where a device will travel up to pick the eggs and dispense them, they won't fall.
The UK Highway Code requires dogs to be properly restrained in vehicles, including lorry cabs, to prevent distractions and injuries. Dogs shouldn't roam freely or stick their heads out of windows. Failing to follow these rules could lead to fines of up to £5,000, court appearances, and invalidated insurance. Holding the lead is not proper restraint-the easiest solution is securing a harness to a back seat.Apart from this great to see you in another video and life is good xx
only issue there is trucks take two 12v batteries and considerably larger and heavier then a standard car battery plus they currently in belgium they may not be a local truck factors near by
@@stevesmith8221 im 61, fitted a pair a fortnight ago, 10 mins... so there is no motor factors in belgium ?, most stock truck batteries as well easy to get, just cost more...
I love watching your travels and your children are lovely. I don't understand why you don't get the boys hair cut, poor things look ridiculous with all that hair flapping around and too girly
I thi k you need a battery butler that runs off your house system to maintain your vehicle batteries when parked up for long periods this will stop you getting flat vehicle batteries and will prolong their life 😉

You will only have to use it once and that will pay its way

hi did you try horse steak in Belgium is good. I had in back in 1994 I think🤩🤩🤩
Oh god, nope not tried horse. Is it good?
I'd get a auto electrician to do some tests on your alternator etc you must have something that is draining your battery when your lorry is parked up could be a bad earth or something simple
In Spain it was a knackered battery clip - €5 & 5 minutes with a screwdriver or spanner
Shame. Such a good start too.
It really is a lottery whether they take cards in a lot of Europe.
I’ve got used to having sufficient cash; but it can be a real pain sometimes.
Great video again 👌💙❤️
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! I have a bad habit of assuming everywhere takes cards these days 🙈
O no that’s exactly what you don’t need ,hope u were able to get it sorted

you guys need a 24v jump pack topdon provide a decent one and even sponsor other channels may channels maybe worth getting in touch
or replace the €5 battery clip thar let them down in Spain months ago.

Hi Keira.
I’ll take the dog and the noise, every time.
Even with my “Dad advantage “, where kids are less inclined to go totally overboard than with Mum, it’s still a confined environment with no way to escape, so things are bound to kick off.
Dad advantage is a true thing!!! Luckily we both had it fairly easy, the ship had enough to keep the kids entertained 😆
How do you go on about paying income tax and national insurance when living in & out of the country
Wouldn't it be easier to go from Harwich Hull is a long way from suffolk
the crossing was sponsored, that may have been the only option
Ahh man don't leave me hanging here with what looks like a flat battery.
Guys invest in a top don jump starter .Paul
Or a cheap automatic battery charger that plugs into the inverter.

That's not a drop vend, it's a robotic vend. You see the white toothed rails up each side of the glass? That's where a device will travel up to pick the eggs and dispense them, they won't fall.
Belgium hosted the 1920 Summer Olympics in 1920
and also the 1920 Winter Olympics in 1920.I thought they had hosted them more recently but apparently not.
Ah thats really interesting, thankyou!
@Touringwiththekids My comment might seem a bit random but I googled after you saw some Olympic Rings.
“Hay fever sufferers are like vegans” is a Tshirt. Right there.
Haha our next slogan for our merchandise 😂

hello truckers
Hey 👋
The UK Highway Code requires dogs to be properly restrained in vehicles, including lorry cabs, to prevent distractions and injuries. Dogs shouldn't roam freely or stick their heads out of windows. Failing to follow these rules could lead to fines of up to £5,000, court appearances, and invalidated insurance. Holding the lead is not proper restraint-the easiest solution is securing a harness to a back seat.Apart from this great to see you in another video and life is good xx
rather than pay for recovery, get a taxi, buy some new batteries + fit them yourself, painful now, but no more breakdowns...
only issue there is trucks take two 12v batteries and considerably larger and heavier then a standard car battery plus they currently in belgium they may not be a local truck factors near by
@@stevesmith8221 im 61, fitted a pair a fortnight ago, 10 mins...
so there is no motor factors in belgium ?, most stock truck batteries as well easy to get, just cost more...
I love watching your travels and your children are lovely. I don't understand why you don't get the boys hair cut, poor things look ridiculous with all that hair flapping around and too girly
Stop calling it a boat, Its a SHIP, your Kids will get confused when they grow up, Home education.
Ships are able to transport boats boats are not able to transport ships
your kids need a hair cut they look so scruffy
How rude, I think they are aware that the boys have long hair, do you think they will actually cut their hair just from your advice ???? 🙄
I thi k you need a battery butler that runs off your house system to maintain your vehicle batteries when parked up for long periods this will stop you getting flat vehicle batteries and will prolong their life 😉
