  • Our special guest has finally arrived with us and the world is a happier place. Unfortunately though, we are stranded by the side of the motorway when our recovery company fails to rescue us for over 18 hours. When we finally get back on the road again we head to one of our favourite cities for two days of fun, history and exploring. We love Berlin.
    Our first stop where we were broken down in German was at a service station Am Fichtenplan maps.app.goo.g...
    The are we stayed at in Berlin was here Wohnmobil-Oase-Berlin maps.app.goo.g...
    The Berlin Wall Memorial is just here maps.app.goo.g...
    The VW exhibition was DRIVE. Volkswagen Group Forum maps.app.goo.g...
    The Vietnamese restaurant we ate at was Mama Vân - Sài Gòn Deli maps.app.goo.g...

    Our family have been roaming around the UK, Europe and US since 2007. We set off on each trip with only a rough destination in mind, allowing the roads we take and places we stop to evolve as we meet new friends along the way.

    Never go anywhere without my jump pack. NOCO Boost HD GB70 2000A been priceless used it twice for storage when I've not moved for a while and the vechicle battery has gone too low and for my previous which was a Toyota hybrid that the aux battery was not man enough for winter when short journeys just depleted the battery too quickly.

      Lidl were doing a version too for a lot cheaper. I keep a NOCO in the glove compartment. I’ve rescued a few stranded people with it.

    One of the best holidays I had was spent in Berlin just after the wall came down.

    Glad you’re safely on the road again, expensive battery but what a great feeling when you can just turn the key and it starts. Thank you so much for your great videos, it always great to see you all enjoying yourselves as a family now Ed is back. I hope he’s now well and back to full health. Take care and God bless you all.

    Guys, you have every possible gadget on your van, why no jump pack? Absolutely essential especially for long road trips.

    That 1st line ‘you join us as we are unable to stop the vehicle’.. I had a flashback of watching the film ‘Speed’ when I was a kid 😂
    Also. (I haven’t finished watching yet so maybe you did). But couldn’t you jumpstart from the leisure batteries? Or even run a permanent line from the until you’re back?

    Great video again. Just wondering when you are moving from country to country…how do you work with the phone? Do you change sims at every country? Appreciate your words of advice on that when touring through out Europe. Bless ya. ❤

    Services might sell jump packs. Worth the £££ for future.

    Very interesting that the battery packed up on such a new ish vehicle that gets good usage . Not impressed by the European cover , didn’t you have Fiat Camper Assist ? Thoughts on that and other breakdown cover maybe ? I have just renewed my insurance and added separate euro breakdown to supplement Fiat . Bit of a worrier when I see what happened to you guys .

    All that tech you have and a couple of leads and croc clips and away you go makes you wonder 🤔

    What company do use for european breakdown cover ? ,as the RAC and AA won't look at my motorhome as it is over 3500kgs.

    • @BAZVFR800
      @BAZVFR800 2 години тому +1

      We have a Nationwide Flexplus account which has AA UK & Euro breakdown cover. They will cover up to 7.5T and 8m

    Gutted about your mileage being reset!!!! I'd be even more gutted if you had to jump start your "truck" 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

    Great ye got a new starter battery. Not impressed with the breakdown company though. Welcome back to Eddie.

    Hi
    You can ask an emergency connect the live from your leisure battery to the main car battery to jump the car.

    I also have a booster as winter is hard on my battery & I no longer do the miles to keep it going.

  • @PK_Blinder
    @PK_Blinder 2 години тому +1

    Maybe the constant charging of them 3 batteries have worked the alternator too hard and its cried "too much" 🤔😉

  • @RobertMackenzie-yn8ig
    @RobertMackenzie-yn8ig Годину тому +1

    Get a jump pack , you pay money for breakdown in Europe and they leave you waiting for 18 plus hours
    I would change your breakdown company

  • @nigelkelly2432
    @nigelkelly2432 2 години тому +3

    Have you had the alternator checked? I would suspect the new battery won't last too long unfortunately
