      @@KieranVGallagher can definitely recommend the pods around the route as they all look amazing! The Brora ones we visited with nc500 pods were a highlight because of the remote location and sauna 😊

    Hi there - just wanted to say how refreshing it is to see a Scottish couple extolling the virtues of their own country - which just happens to be my country, too. Don't worry about your fitness yet, Campbell - you should have another 20 or 30 years before your body hurts when you attempt to do such things - like, really hurts I mean! As for the van - my entire flat is like that...!! Take care now, both of you!

    Thank you for your vlogs, they’re brilliant.
    As a fellow motorhome owner I think the only way to live in a van is to find a home for everything then put things back in their home always. As for wires we had extra sockets fitted around bed area and this is where we set up a charging station. So much neater than having to have all the wires around living area. 💙

    I actually wonder if motorhomes or caravans were designed to travel .stuff on ours keeps breaking too and its mostly stationary, weird. Enjoyed the video guys thanks for taking me along. I have been watching American RV ers for years now and they too are not immune to breakage especially slides and generators.
