- How has it been 6 months since we last went away in the van?!? I guess life gets in the way.
This weekend though we're going away for a short break, three nights in the van completely off-grid. Going to Worthing was a bit last minute really, we couldn't decide where to go and just packed up and decided. it's about an hour from us so it worked out quite well.
We spent 2 nights at a gorgeous park up on top of a hill, surrounded by beautiful walks and it was very quiet, quite busy during the day though. We then went down to Worthing sea front, had a beach day and spent the night there. Luckily it was free parking all day Sunday so we actually managed to stay there completely free all Sunday and Sunday night until 9am on Monday which was amazing! Totally unplanned.
Looking forward to our next trip away, I think it's going to be Scotland in July!

It was really nice to get away for a couple of days, would definitely go back!
Great vlog can I ask were the park up in the downs was ? Looking forward to watching the rest of your vlogs. I've just watched the swivel seat log 👍
Hey Dave, the car park was just south of Storrington down Chantry Lane, you can find it on Google maps. It was a bit narrow and overgrown getting up there but we managed :)
Great video can you send me a link to a similar van to the one you have ? Or the specs ( size model ) Looking at getting into the van life thing and your van seems quite a big one.
Thanks
Our van is a 2017 L3H2 Peugeot Boxer, it's not the longest or tallest so an L4H3 is the biggest one, 'L' being length and 'H' being height. It's the same van as a citroen relay or fiat ducato just different badges. The benefit of not having the biggest is of course being able to park in more places and just being smaller is easier, but also it weighs slightly less so you have a higher payload, I think the L3H2 weighs about 2 tonnes empty and can go up to 3.5 tonnes (some models I think can only got to 3 tonnes depending on the engine so make sure you check that!) but 1.5 tonnes payload is loads, handy if you want a bigger water tank etc. :) I'm pretty sure all these vans come with Air Con from factory which to be honest is a bit of a deal breaker, sprinters and crafters often don't have AC which is bizarre, we had a VW van before with no air con and never again, long drives in the heat with no AC isn't fun. They're also front wheel drive which means the back of the van is lower to the ground because these no driveshaft under the van driving the rear wheels, sprinters crafters and transits I think are rear wheel drive so they're higher off the ground which means less headroom, a bigger step up into the van and also they're taller. To be honest they're just really good vans and I'd get another one, never had any mechanical issues or anything but we did get a low mileage one so not sure about long term reliability.
