I got a message from campervibe on my commit above on this video to send a message to you on tele-gram! I’m just going to assume it’s not you guys! Can you check it out?
First - you have to change van for the next big trip, this is becoming beyond the joke. From myself I can recommend Sprinter 313 cdi 2.2 cdi , my father done with this engine from 60K till 135K without any issues , then only he have to change thermostat because the temp with the engine no go above 60 C, but the car still driving when the fault coming up !:)
Another fantastic episode, thank you. Your cheerful resilience and sense of adventure is an example to us all. As an occasional sufferer of mental health issues, I’ve come to find your vlogs as a wonderful escape and I’m deeply grateful. I’m also not sure you both realise just how good your vlogs are - natural, wonderfully filmed and edited and always entertaining. More power to you both and here’s to many more episodes. ❤👍✌🌨🍰🧁
One thing I love about your vlogs is the realness. You don’t edit out the bad parts of your journey & make viewers see vanlife through rose tinted glasses. You’re a massive inspiration because you face whatever challenge is thrown your way & always have a backup plan. Life is never perfect & it should never be perceived to be. Keep up the amazing work & most importantly - have fun! 😊 Xx
AJ asking to go for a walk was the cutest. And in the snow!! He’s giving us value for money in this vlog. Loving the content as always. It’s great to have you back on the road, and I love this mix of content. 🥰
Lou the way you look at Emily when she talks is everything 🥹 The love is so palpable and genuinely warms my heart. Especially after a hard day. My absolute fave couple ❤️
I for one, love seeing both the good and the bad. As a part time SUV dweller I can certainly relate…but the best thing about your vlog is watching the two of you taking care of problems while remaining cheerful and able to thoroughly enjoy yourselves regardless. Attitude is EVERYTHING!
He is super cute and very inquisitive, although sometimes too much so and like now has got a little scratch on his nose from poking his fat head into some branches 🤦🏻♀️😂🐕
Absolutely adore you two. The mix of content is I think what keeps us all coming back - the scenery was stunning in this video, a real winter wonderland, but it's also interesting to see the daily struggles with the van. Keeps it real. And any AJ content is always welcome, what a handsome boy he is! Can't wait for more episodes xx
Regarding the night incident and banging on the van - that is one downside of "epic" but isolated park-ups. A campervan in a spot like that will stand out more, and is more likely to attract the attention of unpleasant people. On occasion I will use spots like these, but most of the time I will try to park somewhere next to some other cars, and close to some human activity. People who are up to no good are less likely to behave like that when there could be other witnesses around, or the probability of someone intervening.
It's quite normal (allegedly) to lose a couple of inches in the cold. You had the right plan though: go somewhere warm and get a friendly local to see to it! Also, no story's too good that it can't be interrupted by a quality innuendo! 😂 Love AJ's new clobber by the way. Looks like he enjoys a trip to the good shops! As for vlog content; the good, the bad and the stunning drone footage!
🤣” crappy day life” is fantastic! As usual your production is fabulous! 👍 really enjoyed it all. AJ was brilliant, loved his galloping in the snow. Persons unknown “banging” on the van in the night…. Just goes to show , there are prats everywhere you go! 😮 Safe Travels❤
Honestly, you two were definitely made for one another. Loving catching up on the older videos. When we are on the road, we have to take the good with the bad. Trust me, I know very cold winters well. I am from Labrador where there are only 2 seasons, 8 months of winter and 4 months of summer. That inner tubing was awesome. Years ago, my sister in law and I went down a huge water slide. I thought I was going to have a heart attack. We were both quite large at the time. We came out of the shoots at the same time. We made a splash so big it soaked the onlookers at poolside. I am glad I did it but never again. LOL.
As always a perfectly wonderful video, very well put together and very entertaining. Loving both the drone shots and the everyday life as it puts it all into perspective. You guys are so in harmony with each other that it radiates through the screen! just keep filming the way you are because you have the perfect balance.
I love how AJ tells you when he wants to go for a walk, but says nothing when someone’s banging on the door. 🤣Please stay safe and alert. I hope Fanny stays healthy and don’t cause you any more problems (but I think that’s wishful thinking). Love the scenery shots Lou, they’re fantastic. Till next week, have fun.
Keeping it real is why I love your channel. As a potential van owner & long time camper I appreciate your practical approach and enthusiasm for life! AJ is adorable too 🐾
Hubby suggests that possibly when the engine changed you got an air bubble in the coolant and when it worked its way through to the header tank that caused the apparent loss of coolant. He is expecting this problem to come up in our Van-essa!
Pi55 off the wrong ppl, or park somewhere that someone doesnt like in france and expect tyres slashed, windows broken. A UK numberplate is a BIG TARGET on it as well.
You two are so brave & adventurous! Good thing Louise knows a lot about vehicle management, and Emily is such a great cleaner (among many other things). Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.
omg girls we got our van banged on this weekend sent you full story on insta xxxx that toboggan looks amazing couldn’t stop laughing at lou screaming ❤❤❤❤
I love your ‘crappy day life’ shots….you tell it as it is and that’s so very important. I did laugh at lovely AJ having a ball in the snow, bless you both for thinking of him….oh and we mustn’t forget Summer or she’ll get all huffy puffy!! 😅
I'm only partway through the video so far, but the one thing that I worry about for you ladies is the dangers from unscrupulous prats. I'm so thankful you're all safe. Anyway! Wondering why you didn't just get some more velcro for AJ's coat instead of trekking around trying to find another jacket. If needed, you could always pin the one side of the velcro to his coat but better if you sew it on - still, just wondering. Oh, Louise is right, Switzerland is stunning. :)
Good afternoon ladies Having been sent home from work with a bad back I decided to watch some your previous videos and came across the trip through Switzerland What a pleasure it has been catching up on your travels You are both so brave and have a lust for life that I truly envy ❤
This was the perfect vlog. Fun, informative, beautifully shot, and some drama as well. A great antidote for a dull January evening here in the UK. Thank you for sharing your lives with us! xx
As usual we enjoyed your video!!! So sorry to see you having some issues on your journeys. You asked so we're answering....we love to see it all. The good, the bad, the ugly, the breakdowns, the amazing places you get to see.... pretty much everything van life you get to experience!!! We love your humor & look forward to seeing what your up to each week! Keep it up ladies ❤️
Crappy van life stuff for us please 😂 The cinematic drone shots etc are stunning but for us they add the ‘Je ne sais quai’ to your videos which is appreciated and admired but we love watching you guys just sit and talk on a Q&A, or do a mission impossible slide down the stairs at home…. Building a van… putting Christmas decks up…. We are privileged to get a nosy into your lives and whatever you have time to create is appreciated. Cracking video AS ALWAYS. Amy Paul & Ted 🐾 x
I admire how you cope with the problems thrown at you, but keep smiling and keep filming. Great drone footage. Love the music choices too. Best of all is seeing AJ and Summer enjoying their adventures!
You both do so amazingly well and cope with anything life throws at you...... inspirational. Thank you for your videos, I love to see what the four of you get up to, beautiful scenery too. Well done everybody. X.
Well, now that I’ve got to the end of your video, this is my final comment for this one. I love all that you do, you give us a great mixture of van life, scenery and the general day to day crap that you sometimes face. It’s a great mix and you never just concentrate on one thing such as the drone shots, or the scenery so in my opinion, you four are doing great! Just keep you footage coming as it is, especially the innuendo and snacking! Maybe you should rename your channel to ‘ Carry on van life’ … just a thought… Safe travels 😊
If the coolant disappears and it is not leaking or ending up in the oil, check if your engine has a breathing valve on the very top point of the cooling pipe. Mine was stuck and the engine sprayed the coolant on top of the engine. It vaporized leaving no trace of a leak. The sudden event in your case might be caused by the air pressure change and altitude. 👍 ps. Get a can of alcoholic windscreen washer fluid and pour some of that in your gray water tank to keep it from freezing. 🤓❄️🇫🇮
I hope your Fanny is feeling better 🤪 but if not, I found a tip that's a possibility: "A thermostat stuck in the open position will allow a constant flow of coolant causing a lower operating temperature. This increases emission, makes the engine wear faster, and leaves the temperature gauge reading cool at all time" 🤞
Another great vlog. I'm glad you are all safe. Great to see AJ frolicking, I hope Summer got a winter coat as well. Fingers crossed Fanny behaves 😬🐾 xx
Glad you are safe ladies, probably kids larking around, but they don’t realise how scary it can be. We use a hot glue gun to glue Velcro back onto things if it comes off (re: dog’s coat). Fingered crossed for Fanny not falling apart on you 😅
I know France, well the French have a reputation but I have never found them unfriendly. Been going to France regularly since 2007 and have yet to have a bad experience.
We visited France once when we were living and working in Germany, and that was more than enough. We couldn't get back over the German border quick enough!
Been living in France for over 12 years ... and of course you will always get someone who may not be friendly..but here everyone goes out of there way to help you... great community... we have had no problems... but it dosnt matter wherever in the world u go... you will always get someone who is not nice...but its a great country ..never had any problems..
Being that I'm currently living my vanlife vicariously through you, I think it's important you show the crappy day life as well as the epic drone shots. Keep it real!! Anyone who wants to get into vanlife should know the realities of people banging on your doors and frozen pipes. Your "oh well, move forward" attitude is fantastic, as are your videos! Safe travels!!
Great place Switzerland, we went to see our son row on the Rotsee, near Lucern. Lucern is lovely, the people are friendly and the transport arrives EXACTLY when it’s supposed to.
showing life as it is is what I prefer , it shows a variation which makes it far more interesting , like information of things in the areas you pass through , what you are doing Ithink works well and I always say don't try and fix what ain't broke ,👍👍
The mountains looked like mountains big and imposing they were never just in the back ground. So yes it has to be the .....coolant that took my breath away.
Camped 6 weeks in France many years ago. Other campers invited us for dinner every night! 🥖🥐🥑🍕🧆🥘🫕🍲🍝🥗🥙We were clearly On a budget!Friendly kind and generous. Love France and the French people! Tres bien!
Keep up the "crappy day" live stuff and the epic scenery shots, I love everything you do and the crappy bits prepare me for what can go wrong in my van travels..
Stunning scenery 😍. I lagged my pipe for mi water tank and up to press, hasn't frozen again. Of course, that doesn't stop the tank freezing. There'a thing called a tank blanket which (if you don't know already), might be something to prevent the tank from freezing 😊👍
Just amazing as ever. I had my cold water tank burst inside the van, half full, flooded the van while I was away in canada so know the pain! Keep up the amazing photos!
In my Diesel I used to slide a garbage bag between the a/c and radiator about half of the radiator, it gives the thermostat a chance to manage the radiator temp. One of the benefits was the fuel filter didn’t have to be changed as often as the wax didn’t come out of suspension, you might find the temp gauge works normally as well.
Very funny about fanny funnels!!! Good to laugh, lifting me out of feeling down!!!! The sky views with mountain snow and ice are lovely with the gentle music. That kind of knock or any knock is one I am very afraid of being on my own!!!!. I love the day life footage of trials and tribulations, the excitement of AJ wishing to have playtime, the fun filled facts and laughed again at your tobogganing antics. The scenic photography and footage is all growing in professionalism .,...I like road route footage as long as it is not too much! You are both so happy to be there and show solidarity. Thank you. Hope you stay safe and also the vehicle behaves!
Completed my four year RTW overland in a 4x4 August '22. Frozen sink drain pipe - pour boiling water into the sink! Midnight 'knocks'...it happens, very rare. I had one in Dardanelles, Turkey, friendly police. As you know VAN life is an adventure, not a holiday. Wild camping is a science and an art. Very best to you both.
You girls are doing great a mix of daily ups and downs and stunning scenery with some drone shots, all mixed in is the only way to be honest and true and realistic of van life so don't worry, keep on being you, be safe and enjoy yourselves! 👍❤️😘🤣🇬🇧
Loved everything. Please continue to show #realvanlife, makes me feel better😂 i just drove over the dangling grey water pipe ( i forgot to put it back in its clip after emptying, second time it happens) so currently the grey wate comes out directly... In a bucket of course 😂
What is it about snow and frost that takes years of a dog? Ours is just the same, prancing around like a puppy. Heartwarming to see AJ having fun. Stunning scenery too. Only toured in UK but we always drain down in winter and carry fresh water and a collapsible bucket.
Your coolant loss could be due to an airlock when the new engine was put in. A couple of hot and cold cycles and it seems to be fine. Your temperature guage problems could be related in which case it could rectify itself in time, or the sensor could be duff.

Cheese
Gree error is how to say it . Hope u bought cheese
Why didn't you add salt table salt to sinks before going to bed . It helps stop ice forming inside the waste pipe at up to -8

Thank you both, that’s us very kind of you and we are very grateful we can help even just a little 😀
Couldn’t put it better myself E Eyre . They are a great couple and so natural too x
Parisiense yep otherwise Friendly
With all that's going bad in this world, your little van family is like a breath of fresh air. Don't change a thing.
One thing I love about your vlogs is the realness. You don’t edit out the bad parts of your journey & make viewers see vanlife through rose tinted glasses. You’re a massive inspiration because you face whatever challenge is thrown your way & always have a backup plan.
Life is never perfect & it should never be perceived to be. Keep up the amazing work & most importantly - have fun! 😊

Thank you that’s really nice of you to say
Great post Clara 👍
Hi girls, when I buy the Norvpn, do I download the app or will it bring me to playstore to download 🤔
Your content is amazing...not just the locations, but the editing, the music, the relaxed feel...better than full Netflix shows....
AJ asking to go for a walk was the cutest. And in the snow!! He’s giving us value for money in this vlog. Loving the content as always. It’s great to have you back on the road, and I love this mix of content. 🥰
He is loving the snow, always wanting to be out in it 😂🐕
Lou the way you look at Emily when she talks is everything 🥹 The love is so palpable and genuinely warms my heart. Especially after a hard day. My absolute fave couple ❤️
I for one, love seeing both the good and the bad. As a part time SUV dweller I can certainly relate…but the best thing about your vlog is watching the two of you taking care of problems while remaining cheerful and able to thoroughly enjoy yourselves regardless. Attitude is EVERYTHING!
That was so cute the shot of your dog poking his head out the castle opening. You showed a lot more personality that AJ has. 👏🏻👏🏻🥰
He is super cute and very inquisitive, although sometimes too much so and like now has got a little scratch on his nose from poking his fat head into some branches 🤦🏻♀️😂🐕

I love how AJ tells you when he wants to go for a walk, but says nothing when someone’s banging on the door. 🤣Please stay safe and alert. I hope Fanny stays healthy and don’t cause you any more problems (but I think that’s wishful thinking). Love the scenery shots Lou, they’re fantastic. Till next week, have fun.
I know right, he is such a Twat but we our Twat 😂🐕
oh wow guys Switzerland is gorgeous and AJ looks beautiful lol
Keeping it real is why I love your channel. As a potential van owner & long time camper I appreciate your practical approach and enthusiasm for life! AJ is adorable too 🐾
Thank you

He is expecting this problem to come up in our Van-essa!
Thanks
Sorry to hear that you had to experience banging on your back doors. I have had it happen to me a few times and it really p***** me off.
So annoying especially at that time in the morning
Pi55 off the wrong ppl, or park somewhere that someone doesnt like in france and expect tyres slashed, windows broken. A UK numberplate is a BIG TARGET on it as well.
You two are so brave & adventurous! Good thing Louise knows a lot about vehicle management, and Emily is such a great cleaner (among many other things). Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.
Yeah I’d have to UA-cam it all if it was just me 😂
omg girls we got our van banged on this weekend sent you full story on insta xxxx that toboggan looks amazing couldn’t stop laughing at lou screaming ❤❤❤❤
I love your ‘crappy day life’ shots….you tell it as it is and that’s so very important. I did laugh at lovely AJ having a ball in the snow, bless you both for thinking of him….oh and we mustn’t forget Summer or she’ll get all huffy puffy!! 😅
AJ was so happy, he is loving the snow, summer not so much, she is preferring to stay inside 😂
thank you girls for capturing and sharing the sheer beauty of such a breathtaking country
I'm only partway through the video so far, but the one thing that I worry about for you ladies is the dangers from unscrupulous prats. I'm so thankful you're all safe. Anyway! Wondering why you didn't just get some more velcro for AJ's coat instead of trekking around trying to find another jacket. If needed, you could always pin the one side of the velcro to his coat but better if you sew it on - still, just wondering. Oh, Louise is right, Switzerland is stunning. :)
He needed a bigger one anyway to be fair, it was a little small for him and any excuse to get him some new clothes 😂
Good afternoon ladies
Having been sent home from work with a bad back
I decided to watch some your previous videos and came across the trip through Switzerland
What a pleasure it has been catching up on your travels
You are both so brave and have a lust for life that I truly envy ❤
This was the perfect vlog. Fun, informative, beautifully shot, and some drama as well.
A great antidote for a dull January evening here in the UK.
Thank you for sharing your lives with us!

Oh wow!!!!
France is gorgeous but Switzerland is on another level.
Truly beautiful!!!!

Amy Paul & Ted 🐾 x
You guys are always so kind and supportive thank you 😊
Love the crappy day life stuff and the epic drone scenery shots ❤
I loved a good mix up of content. So drone shots, scenery, everyday van life, AJ shots, architecture and fun facts, 2 min tours, innuendo.
I admire how you cope with the problems thrown at you, but keep smiling and keep filming. Great drone footage. Love the music choices too. Best of all is seeing AJ and Summer enjoying their adventures!
Bit of everything makes the videos interesting. Xx
You both do so amazingly well and cope with anything life throws at you...... inspirational. Thank you for your videos, I love to see what the four of you get up to, beautiful scenery too. Well done everybody. X.
Thank you
We love the real vlogs 🎉don’t worry just keep bringing it to us! Love the views and the quality is amazing 🤩

Personaly proffer the real life problems and you handle it amazingly 😊
If the coolant disappears and it is not leaking or ending up in the oil, check if your engine has a breathing valve on the very top point of the cooling pipe. Mine was stuck and the engine sprayed the coolant on top of the engine. It vaporized leaving no trace of a leak. The sudden event in your case might be caused by the air pressure change and altitude. 👍 ps. Get a can of alcoholic windscreen washer fluid and pour some of that in your gray water tank to keep it from freezing. 🤓❄️🇫🇮
😀🙌
I hope your Fanny is feeling better 🤪 but if not, I found a tip that's a possibility: "A thermostat stuck in the open position will allow a constant flow of coolant causing a lower operating temperature. This increases emission, makes the engine wear faster, and leaves the temperature gauge reading cool at all time" 🤞
Another great vlog. I'm glad you are all safe. Great to see AJ frolicking, I hope Summer got a winter coat as well. Fingers crossed Fanny behaves 😬🐾 xx
She is like nope, I’ll stay in, in the warm 😂
AJ’s smile when he got his new jacket 🥰
Glad you are safe ladies, probably kids larking around, but they don’t realise how scary it can be. We use a hot glue gun to glue Velcro back onto things if it comes off (re: dog’s coat). Fingered crossed for Fanny not falling apart on you 😅
Any excuse for me to buy him something new 😂 it is 2 years old so he was due a new one
Thermostat swap shouldn't be expensive but I'd look at the connector on the temp sender first, may be the cold making it come loose.
Describing the French as 'friendly' is a first for me.
Truth. Not friendly, kinda arrogant, yet I still love France.
I know France, well the French have a reputation but I have never found them unfriendly. Been going to France regularly since 2007 and have yet to have a bad experience.
We visited France once when we were living and working in Germany, and that was more than enough. We couldn't get back over the German border quick enough!
Been living in France for over 12 years ... and of course you will always get someone who may not be friendly..but here everyone goes out of there way to help you... great community... we have had no problems... but it dosnt matter wherever in the world u go... you will always get someone who is not nice...but its a great country ..never had any problems..
Yeah every where theres nasty people. Even in the states. Just got to not let the bad apples spoiled the beauty of the country
So sweet - the things you do for your animals - and they are rescued animals
I’m enjoying the day to day videos. It’s so heartwarming to see the good care that you take of AJ. 🥰
Crappy day lifestyle is FAAAAABULOUS! More please!
I'm a Vibe Virgin and love the sense of Humour
Being that I'm currently living my vanlife vicariously through you, I think it's important you show the crappy day life as well as the epic drone shots. Keep it real!! Anyone who wants to get into vanlife should know the realities of people banging on your doors and frozen pipes. Your "oh well, move forward" attitude is fantastic, as are your videos! Safe travels!!
Great place Switzerland, we went to see our son row on the Rotsee, near Lucern. Lucern is lovely, the people are friendly and the transport arrives EXACTLY when it’s supposed to.

We had people banging on our van doors in Falkirk, Scotland. Scary stuff! Glad yous are all okay x
Love it all, the driving, the drone and the day to day existence too.
The mountains looked like mountains big and imposing they were never just in the back ground. So yes it has to be the .....coolant that took my breath away.
First time I've come across this channel. Such a fantastic video.
Better than any travel documentary on the telly.
You’re such good mums! Heartwarming
The GIANT letters for "THE NEXT DAY" is brilliant!
Just love you crappie day life but enjoy the drone 😉 very much. Thank you for sharing real life.💖From the USA 🇺🇸 Miles 🐶 and Karen 😊
I love the way you always say "par cark!"
I like both crapy day life and epic drone shots, It just shows what real life can do to you.
8:24 Lou you have a beautiful smile. 😊
Camped 6 weeks in France many years ago.
Other campers invited us for dinner every night! 🥖🥐🥑🍕🧆🥘🫕🍲🍝🥗🥙We were clearly On a budget!Friendly kind and generous. Love France and the French people! Tres bien!
You got the mix just right, really enjoyed this one and like you so glad to see AJ enjoying the snow. Stay safe and looking forward to the next one 👍
I drove all the way through Switzerland on my overland journey from UK to Malta, Biscuit tin scenery around every corner, a beautiful place. ❤
Keep up the "crappy day" live stuff and the epic scenery shots, I love everything you do and the crappy bits prepare me for what can go wrong in my van travels..
Stunning scenery 😍. I lagged my pipe for mi water tank and up to press, hasn't frozen again. Of course, that doesn't stop the tank freezing. There'a thing called a tank blanket which (if you don't know already), might be something to prevent the tank from freezing 😊👍
Best van life channel by a country mile! Always a good laugh, keep the innuendo,s coming (and the interesting facts of course!)
AJ & snow😂. Great Christmas card viewing👏👏👏👏
Oh, what a perfectly ridiculously beautiful winter wonderland! And in a country that knows how to clear their roads, too!
Beautiful scenery 👏👏 & fun tobogganing.👏👏❤️
Just carry on telling it how it is, the good, the bad and the ugly. So glad AJ is enjoying himself.
Just amazing as ever. I had my cold water tank burst inside the van, half full, flooded the van while I was away in canada so know the pain! Keep up the amazing photos!
I’ve been so busy.. I’ve just caught up…thank you for the video, it brought back good memories of Switzerland and there’s more to come.
Good as always!!
I think everyday struggles are more interesting than fantastic photos. U do both things very very good.
Carry on doing you two plus pet's, that why we are here. 😊 best wishes.
In my Diesel I used to slide a garbage bag between the a/c and radiator about half of the radiator, it gives the thermostat a chance to manage the radiator temp. One of the benefits was the fuel filter didn’t have to be changed as often as the wax didn’t come out of suspension, you might find the temp gauge works normally as well.
Love it when your videos pop up! Thank you for all your awesomeness 😊
Love it all! I’m living vicariously through you… keep doing what you do because you do it so well 🥳🥳
Very funny about fanny funnels!!! Good to laugh, lifting me out of feeling down!!!! The sky views with mountain snow and ice are lovely with the gentle music. That kind of knock or any knock is one I am very afraid of being on my own!!!!. I love the day life footage of trials and tribulations, the excitement of AJ wishing to have playtime, the fun filled facts and laughed again at your tobogganing antics. The scenic photography and footage is all growing in professionalism .,...I like road route footage as long as it is not too much! You are both so happy to be there and show solidarity. Thank you. Hope you stay safe and also the vehicle behaves!
Glad we did 😀 yeah that type of knock is definitely the worst type but it’s nice in 3 years is good going I would say 🙌 AJ just loved the snow ❄️ 🐕😀
Great video. I'm so impressed with your cheerful attitude to adversity .
Loving it all. Realities of the beauty of van life.❤❤
Completed my four year RTW overland in a 4x4 August '22. Frozen sink drain pipe - pour boiling water into the sink! Midnight 'knocks'...it happens, very rare. I had one in Dardanelles, Turkey, friendly police. As you know VAN life is an adventure, not a holiday. Wild camping is a science and an art. Very best to you both.
I absolutely love it all.
Totally relate with damp and joints etc.
Its dry cold in Switzerland. 💕💐
Love all of your content, with all the ups and downs of winter van life. You make me smile from start to finish!
You girls are doing great a mix of daily ups and downs and stunning scenery with some drone shots, all mixed in is the only way to be honest and true and realistic of van life so don't worry, keep on being you, be safe and enjoy yourselves! 👍❤️😘🤣🇬🇧
The editing on this video is incredible!
Cheers
Loved everything. Please continue to show #realvanlife, makes me feel better😂 i just drove over the dangling grey water pipe ( i forgot to put it back in its clip after emptying, second time it happens) so currently the grey wate comes out directly... In a bucket of course 😂
Love it all! Drone shots and crappy day to day stuff. Can't appreciate the good without the less good!😃
What is it about snow and frost that takes years of a dog? Ours is just the same, prancing around like a puppy. Heartwarming to see AJ having fun.
Stunning scenery too. Only toured in UK but we always drain down in winter and carry fresh water and a collapsible bucket.
Oh doesn’t it just 😀🐕
Great episode again. The ying and the yang, Perfect balance

Your coolant loss could be due to an airlock when the new engine was put in. A couple of hot and cold cycles and it seems to be fine. Your temperature guage problems could be related in which case it could rectify itself in time, or the sensor could be duff.
