    Good to see you out again.
    Careful winding your awning out without dropping the legs, they recommend only extending it about 8 inches, drop the legs then extend further to prevent bending the bracket which fixes it to the van 👍🏼

    Nice mix of driving, chat, music and B roll. Wireless mic is a good call but I am currently happy with the built in mic on the Hero 8 Black. Loved the intro 👍

      Haha, ooh mentions are a good way to test whether people actually watch videos then aren’t they! 🤣. Glad you liked the vid. I’m also happy with the in-built GoPro mic for a lot of the time, but have found that as a solo traveller an external mic gives me more variety with camera placement not least while driving & frees me up to wander around without carrying the camera when I’m doing other things. I’d been researching and decided on this one, and am really happy with the quality so far (except for the total loss of sound when I forgot to switch back to camera mic!).

      Hi Christina, thanks for watching and commenting. I agree and always peg a couple of pegs in to secure the awning. I do also have storm straps for added protection if its very windy and for any reason I want/need to leave it out, although usually I would wind it in. All the best, Sue 😊👍

    Lovely video. We use a wooden pole cut to size across the rear of the cap area. You could use cupped brackets to sit the pole in. Perhaps a sprung pole might work with a curtain hung from it.

    • @CamperVanya
      @CamperVanya  3 роки тому +1

      Thanks, it’s good to know what others do. I was initially thinking along the lines of a sprung pole & curtain, but more recently like the idea of a studded attachment - like attaching a few studs to the sides & ceiling then press studding a black out curtain into place so that I wouldn’t need a pole, and could just fold up the curtain when not in use because I don’t really want one of those permanent curtains and rails fitting.

    Nice Vlog 👍 mic sounds better I keep saying I have to upgrade from phone to cam/mic but it’s quite expensive and time consuming when I can do everything on the phone. In my T5 I had a curtain with the wire you use for hanging nets and just 2 loops in each side on the B pillar for stealth camping. That site looked a decent shout too, gotta love a pub stop.

    • @CamperVanya
      @CamperVanya  3 роки тому

      Cheers 👍🏻. You don’t need to upgrade, it depends how you vlog. My problem is being the only one to talk and hold the camera, a mic frees me up for different angles, distances, etc. I still have to watch your van meet up vid. I trust you had a great time?

I’ve decided if I don’t do it now I never will so I have bought a Ford Transit Custom from Wellhouse Leisure in Barnsley and I pick it up on Monday. I can’t wait. We are heading to Wales on Friday for our first adventure. I’ve always driven a VW and initially wanted a T6 but I have three small dogs so need three rear belted seats to secure them. The van I’m getting also has rear sliding seats so I can bring the them forward to travel then move them back when we park up. I’m also feeling confident enough to travel on my own if my husband doesn’t always want to join me. UA-cam is a marvellous thing! 😁
