raffall.com/355345/enter-raff...
As you will have seen by now, our campervan conversion (Luton) is up on a raffle a prize, and soon, when someone wins him, we will be without a home or vehicle...so we had to think of what we are going to do next. That's where car camping stepped in, all we need now is a car camper (micro camper)

There is still time to Win Morgan...enter here
raffall.com/355345/enter-raffle-to-win-win-beautiful-off-grid-camper-van-conversion-hosted-by-liam-day
Just wondering have you reached the minimum number of tickets for Morgan to be won ? As don't want to waste my £5 if there not a chance of winning Morgan 😢
Yes minimum tickets sold now, so all good ❤@dedethesprintervan
Good luck with your new adventure, looking forward to see how you get on. 😊
@geraldbeddows9017 thank you 😊
🙏 🤞🏼
Got to say that's a tall order....be like moving from a bed sit and setting up residence in a wheelie bin...going to be very testing..
Totes confused. You spent all that cash to fix Morgan up with a new engine, then after all that headache, you decide to buy another Citroen. Brave!
It's for UA-cam and content... Money.
Time to grow up & smell the coffee.
I'm shocked, I think it's a terrible idea, but good luck with it....
I cant see Liam fitting comfortably in that for a period of time tbh
I'm 6 foot and I managed OK in mine. That was solo and for no more than about 3 weeks on my longest trip though
I’m just imagining how miserable its going to be on a cold, wet, God forbid, snowy Sunday morning when they’re both sat in the drivers and passenger seats, not able to stand up straight or get out of the car because it’s so wet and rainy. I think it’s a really short sighted idea, unless they’re planning to spend a large amount of money on airbnbs in the winter! The only way I could see it working is if they’re only planning to do it for 6 months to save up to go travel in India, but if that’s the case, why not just sell / raffle Morgan and go now? I worry for them!
All it’s missing is a caravan on the back
🤣🤣🤣
For someone who is tall, claustrophobic & needs the toilet in the middle of the night, this style of living is definitely out! Good Luck & all the best to you guys though🤗
Thank you, we cant wait to get started
I'm claustrophobic too and its amazing how much room there is in the Berlingo, even with the bed up! They are like a Tardis! I'm on my own though so a single bed and room for a bucket loo!
it's easier if you're a bloke because bottles exist but I carried a bucket loo in mine and only got caught out needing to use it once. other than that I got really good at knowing where the nearest public loo was.
@misterthegeoff9767 Im more or less welded to the bucket loo all night... 😂 well maybe once or twice! It's a necessity for me. It lives in the loo tent during the day.
Anything in your life is temporary, so it’s all good fun❤
Exactly - we are here for a short time, as long as we care for each other and have a positive outlook and peaceful mind, do no harm then we are on the right path 🕉
You got rid of the white van and one of the reasons was bed space..so really surprised you are downsizing..but good luck
The bed in the car camper is just as long as Morgan!
But you are right that it will be a challenge...sacrifices and rewards
I thought the same!
I think you guys will come to regret this decision.
I mean, what if something goes wrong with the engine on the berlingo Of course, it's gonna be all exciting now. It's all new,
but when the novelty wears off. You're stuck with a little van. It's not so bad if it's just temporarily but this is your home. That is just my advice,
but good luck anyway.
I myself would use Morgan for short journeys at least then you've got somewhere to go back to and the berlingo for longer roadtrips You could always put Morgan up on a caravan park. While you tour the country. In the Berlingo..🤔🏴
@ThoseHappyDays Can you tell us more about the Berlingo as in price and cost's involved if you don't mind ?.
I have slept lived and worked in a Peugot Partner whilst working in London as a Service Technician back in the 2000,s with just a sleeping bag and a camp cooker.
Was surprisingly cosy especially when it was bucketing down with rain. 😊
Uh oh
Ik bought a new Berlingo (diesel) with my ex in 2001. We travelled and slept in it during weeks, driving through Europe and the U.K. Kept that car 10 years and did 440.000 km in it without major problems! The cons for me was the condensation that you get when sleeping in such a small space especially during winter time. And the first time that you have to get out in the middle of the night in the pouring rain, you'll definitely miss your campervan toilet.
Haha yeah I can imagine
Car camping maybe o k . For a weekend but not as a lifestyle . 🚙🚙🚙
Let's see 😍
Ha..I'm far too middle aged and grumpy😂
I've used this set up to do a lot of longer trips up to about 3 weeks. Down to the alps, up to the artic circle, NC500 etc. The trick is to stop at a proper campsite every now and than and use the facilities, put up an awning so you can have more space for a day or so while you use the showers, do laundry and give the cabin a proper clean out then back on the road for the next leg. Not sure I could full time but I know of people who do.
No cooker, no shower, no fridge how you going survive in that
We have a fridge/coolbox- we will show you next week our set up
I have managed it for 2 years so far (2 winters 😬)
@@jacksg1809 I wondered what the smell was lol
@@ThoseHappyDays I'd forget the powered coolbox and get a Yeti or similar well insulated coolbox that lasts for up to a week with an icepack. Powered coolboxes kill your battery and if they're fan assisted which yours looked to be, they will make everything soaking wet.
Going to be very interested to see how you store things like personal care, clothing and food. I think you will be limited on where you can go to places that have easily accessible food for daily use. Will be tuning in to see how you do.
Anyone with a nomadic spirit knows this is a super idea. Happy for you guys - back to basics is sometimes what the soul needs ❤
Thank you ✨️❤️
Don't get this idea at all I will wait for the next video "we made a massive mistake"
No way you can live full time in that. You must have a base somewhere.
Our vans have always been our main Base
You are crazy 😂 You couldn’t sleep/cope in your original van due to your height. This has disaster written all over it 🤣 Hope I’m wrong cos I do love your journey.
Yes berlingo is a great choice
I lived in mine for 5 years, until forced into changing😢
Super reliable diesel efficient on fuel.
so easy to park anywhere.
Enjoy your new challenge
Have fun ❤
We are super impressed so far, and bow to Jason's advice and expertise on this as its not something we know much about
You can always sleep in a B&B sometimes, for showers and a rest. Im sure you'll find a way to make it work! Well done for being out there, doing what you love, and adapting when life's a bit trying.
Thank you 🙏
O dear!!!!!
Hi from Baja Mexico. I stopped working in 2013 following failed neurosurgery. I got a US national park pass and took my Prius and dog to 47 states for 5 years. I had wifi and electric. I stopped to have 1 more surgery b4 moving to the beach in baja
WOW! That came out of left field! Its a great concept ....Great for weekends.....BUT..trading all that space and comfort for a matchbox when Liam complained about not being able to sleep straight regarding being so tall hence why you bought Morgan in the first place..makes no sense. Even the Rickshaw got to you both in the end. So cant see this lasting and being your long term solution......BUT enjoy it while it lasts and may the great adventures continue..........wishing you both all the very best! x
You should of done this while doing camping/visiting places and camping out-great idea but then have another base to go to afterwards to completely just recoup yourselves!
That bed to sleep in it long-term will not be good for you Liam esp the width!
I don't think in the long-term this is the right decision to live in it-could of just had this done for your trips to places!
I cannot imagine Janine living in such a cold, wet country like the UK (in fall and winter) without some of the comforts Morgan had. Maybe you might be moving to warmer climes..or going back to India? Personally I’d find car camping my worst nightmare - but there again - I am not an intrepid traveller.
Omg! This is crazy! We have exactly the same ! But we just do it on weekends plus the usual holidays. And we get frustrated with all the climbing around each other that we have to do. I don’t think we could live in it full time but hats off to you guys. WELCOME TO THE BERLINGO MICRO CAMPER CLUB!!!
Thanks guys, we are proud to be part of it 🎉❤
The berlingo van was one of the best vehicles I ever owned, sleep in it take gear to gigs, lend to friends to move, no downside other than it is tiny.
How is this going to work? 😮
From a pretty decent well equipped luton to this average sized suv
I did watch that man. It's a great idea. As you only need the two of you to enjoy your life😊 not forgetting all of us that you take on your journey
I’ve tried living in a van like this and totally underestimated how not being able to stand up in the van would put a dampener on things. But it does come with the advantages of better fuel economy and being able to go places with height/width restrictions without bother! Hope it works out for you!
I’m not sure guys….that a big come down from what you had. There’s no privacy in the car…. What do you do if you need to go toilet in middle of night?? How do you get dressed?? I hope you made the right decision…only time will tell 😊
We are looking forward to finding out
We went on a 3 month trip through France, Andorra to the Iberian Peninsula in a micro camper. It was the best fun. You can make the most of the UK❤ weather during the summer and avoid the winter months by travelling south! No need to rough it as there are all sorts of amenities out there if you’re looking. I’m so excited for you and will be following closely. Buckle up and prepare to make the best memories!
Love the comment! Best today so far 🎉
Brilliant idea, go for it, life too short to wonder what it will be like... life is an adventure, and looking forward to hearing your adventures as you are a lovely, genuine, caring couple and always upbeat whatever life throws at you. ❤❤ xx
❤ You guys love each other so much you'll make anything work❤ Have a great a adventure and many happy day's ❤
Thank you! You too!
Hi, I lived and toured France 35 years ago in a VW Passat Estate. Every summer heading to the Alps for mountain biking and road racing. Sleeping around Morzine for 3 months, swimming in Lac Montron. Going to watch the ice hockey. Great memories. Last winter I was in Morocco camped up next to a German in a Citroen Berlingo. He had been touring for 3 years. It's all down to mindset. He used to do a lot of Trusted House Sitting. To break up his time in the van. Have a great adventure guys ❤❤
Great idea to join Trusted House Sitters too - mixing it up 💗
@@soniadownie8749 On the way out last year. I house sat in Amsterdam for 3 nights, catching the ferry from Harwich to the Hook. Lovely owners and a wonderful dog that walked everywhere with me.
You said I. There are two of them with twice the amount of clothing, essentials and half the amount if space each. I think Janine will be badly affected by this. Great for you tube bad for their health..
@plj471 she's a grown woman though so she will say if its too much for her...it's an adventure till then
Personally, I am glad to see you embarking on this adventure. It's what I have been considering, me and my wee dog. Watching your upcoming adventures may be the push I need to just do it. There are plenty of people doing it. Just enjoy. Glad you have each other. Never mind the nay Sayers. Follow your heart 💞💞💞💞💞
I obviously don't understand what their financial situation is but Morgan is finally done and now their downgrading? It's like living in a three bed house and moving into two birth caravan. Its a brave move and i wish them all the best. Must of been a very difficult decision to make.
bit smaller than a two berth Caravan!! but give them time
I totally get your love of travel and freedom.
Morgan was massive and I envisaged parking issues as a result, this though is going to the other extreme. I couldn’t do it, but I wish you both all the best and look forward to seeing how you get on.
Well I wasn’t expecting that. I’d be tempted to get a roof rack tent on the top as when you can sleep up top itll save you undoing your seating area. Not sure where on earth you’ll be storing your cookwear food and clothes. Maybe you’ll be staying in guest rooms as you go around and the camper is for when you can’t. It’s all a bit of fun mind you and you can always raffle it off if it gets too small for you. Good luck
There’s a woman in America it’s minus 20, lives in a Subaru, she loves it very cosy, great channel watch it guys she so inspirational Normadic Intrevert, don’t listen to all the negative comments, your young free it’s an adventure, good luck ❤️❤️
Thank you ❤
Look, Ive followed you for years, but really?,.. you've gone from Brighton stationary home, to vans x2,..but now to ad hocking it around in a car,..its ok in spring, but come winter,?,... You cant keep downsizing,.. I expect to see you in a years time knocking around on two unicycles and a double sleeping bag...please reconsider...this is madness!!!!
Adventures in unicycling I'd watch that
Maybe they want to simplify things?
Pretty sure Liam was struggling with the transit van when sleeping due to lack of space hence up sizing to Morgan?! Good luck😅
Not gonna lie, I worry for them with this idea!
I think you are both mad, that's OK for weekend camping but not a permanent home.
Janine struggled in I thought the transit van with her breathing..
The best of luck with your new home ☘️☘️☘️
Good luck with your new journey , as the saying goes , nothing ventured nothing gained.
Take care of each other x
Exactly this
Wow, I had a Berlingo micro camper for 6 years, loved it, I dread to think how your gonna manage with 2 of you full time in it, there’s an art form to carrying out daily functions whist laid down 😂
All the best to you both , happy adventures, stay free 💪🏼
Haha I bet!
really cannot fathom that decision out
They’ll be going abroad again in just a few months and they want the money from Morgan to do that. It’s just temporary.
When they auction the bingo, I’ll definitely be putting a fiver or two on that
I have a micro camper and you should consider putting a large roofbox on it for storage. They are fine in the summer where you can do alot of stuff outside - in winter it will be a challenge.
Janine & Liam doing what you have to & it won’t be forever.The main thing is you are together.Enjoy ! Good Luck ! Safe Travels ! 🍀🙏♥️
HI guys that wont be any good to you , much to small ..Step back and think about it and be real 👍👍👍👍
Oh dear. I think a mistake, and doubt you will be doing this very long, and you probably aren't intending to so hopefully only temporary. Once Morgan is gone and you have the cash you will no doubt change again but where will you cook, where will you go to the loo, have showers, sorry if I sound like a negative nelly but where will all your stuff go. So many questions so little time 😮.
Oh wow , I see back problems ahead . Look into a roof box tent . Adam on wandering where blog car camps and could give you a lot of great ideas . Including a roof box tent
I was going to say same about Adam love his channel too
Young and slightly nuts, I remember it well! I had my many adventures & made my fair share of mistakes 😂 and had many great experiences. My adventures not over, just a bit less volatile/risky these days. Good luck to the both of you, keep loving life 😎
Thank you, we are dead excited
Aren't they in thier lately 30s early 40?
@@BossLady263 young compared to me….😊
BE comfortable & hope storage is enough. You know your way around to stay in spots where there are shower’s & toilets thank goodness. I just wish you could have a little house to come back to as well like somethimg of a bolt hole when needed. Take good care & hope all goes well 🩵🩷🚗
Well fair play to you guys ❤ Check out roaming reckless, an American girl who lived out of her suburu for 5 years and now upgraded to a Land Rover defender and has lived out of it for 2 years with just her and her dog, travelling the length of the states in all weather. You guys will always make it work and we can’t wait to watch your new adventures ❤ GOOD LUCK 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks so much! Yeah we are dead excited...we know it's going to be challenging but for some reason we are looking forward to that
I will have to check out roaming reckless - sounds like fun
I met a French girl travelled overland in her vehicle with her dog all the way to Nepal
Mixing it up sleeping in car and couch surfing - life definitely is an adventure. Always good to carry as small tent as a change up too 🥰
I follow Roaming Reckless She has put a tent roof on her jeep which gives her alot more space to cook etc! Also she is only one person! Can also now stand up in her vehicle! Less challenging Maybe Janine and Liam may consider doing that as well if the van can carry that
If you got an attached tent to go on the back as well you would have more usual comfortable space and still give you your sleeping space readily available.
RR is one of the biggest vehicle liver grifters there is. Takes risks & expects others to rescue her. Thinks she is smarter than everyone else. RR grifted people out of almost 20K for a dog that supposedly has cancer but she keeps dragging him into risky situations making him walk for miles. Meanwhile people say they can't afford food/rent. Like all vehicle livers RR doesn't contribute to the good of community/society. Perhaps karma will come back to bite her when she is older.
Hello Liam & Janine..
Your video came just in time when we are already facing the End of our vanlife. We live in Hungary & one week ago, when we took our van for its 2-yearly MOT test, we were told that a new law requires that vans have to be tested as vans, not converted, so we had to dismantle everything or register it as a campervan which is very complicated & expensive , especially for us with very little money . Everything you talked about on this video about car camping gave us so much hope, that our travelling life - with complete freedom and on the cheap - is still possible.
Thank you so much for sharing ..💕
Best of luck guys 👌
Awesome. A couple of weeks ago I met a random couple from Boston USA in Donegal, Ireland who watch your channel!
😀✨️
Ąs a stopgap is a great idea but longer term hmm n you're not getting younger.. But it is coming into summer so enjoy 🎉
Am assuming the Days have something saved up from Morgan as a future deposit on a different lifestyle choice
Absolutely lovely to see you arriving in Ringwood, my home town and where I lived for all of my childhood to the age of 18.
I’m now watching from my home in Perth, Western Australia, where I’ve lived for 17 years.
Best of Luck with your new adventures!
Great move! I used to car camp in my Fiat Doblo with my 2 dogs. A friend gave me a German shepherd so I needed more room. A bivvy loo, collapsible tub to shower, hozwlock manual shower, camping stove folding table attached to passager seats. You'll be fine. Enjoy!!
This is going to be an exciting and challenging (for you guys and us lot watching) direction that you are going in. I'm sure with your "can do" attitudes and love for freedom you will make it work. Best of luck!
Dear Liam and Janine, you have an indomitable spirit. Nothing ever gets you down. You both are amazing. Congratulations, and all the luck in world with your new micro-camper and hope you have a wonderful time in your new home, it looks gorgeous.💙💜💚💕💕❤️
Thank you, we are so excited 😊
Hi Liam and Janine. Would you believe it, I actually lived in a Peugeot Parker for 5 months before leaving the UK in 2023! I think you'll be fine. Yes it is a little on the small side, but you do have the option of setting up tents in quite areas, you can shower at gyms as I did, or at friends/families homes if desperate. I wish you a safe and happy next chapter in your life's journey! Take care.
@@ThoseHappyDaysBeen thinking about how small the car is. You can now get tents which can attach to the end of the car, so that when you are parked up you can give yourself a little more living space. It might be worth looking at one, especially for when it is raining. Redcote sell them. Lots of love to you both.💙💜💚
First thing I would buy is a potty. Good luck with your new adventure, think you are going to need it.
Fab idea
They would still have e to get out of the van to use a potty.
@roseharvey2664 yes your right, better than nothing.
@ThoseHappyDays you can use a folding bivvy loo in the table space (I have the same layout) At night, in an emergency it's kneeling gracefully, with a large lidded yoghurt pot. Puppy pee pad on the bed first in case of spillage! Never had a spill yet though! Don't film that bit 😂
@@lizp7248 Definitely get a Bivvy Loo 👍
Why on earth would people want to troll your sale. Some very sad people out there who are clearly very jealous. Good luck with your new venture, i'm looking forward to the content 👍
Thank you 🙏
Wow! That was a shock. Have an amazing time on your new adventures xx
Good Luck to you both but so many questions about how hard it'll be without the basic amenities of a loo and shower and running water? And Liam I'd never have guessed you were 6ft 2! Janine must be tall too. Though having Morgan was a bind at times, it also gave you freedom to escape the outside world. This car camper is very exposing.
It's going to be different, a challenge with sacrifices and rewards for sure...we can't wait 😀
Welcome to the world of mirco campers. Ive got a berlingo camper called Dottie and I love her,had it for 3 years and been on many trips .
Bonus stealth camping at its best . No worries for height barriers or camping in general .
All best on your new adventure
We love to hear this 🙏
Good luck, you have to do what makes you happy. Im sure the next few video's will be lots of fun to watch 😊
Aww I'm so excited for you. This means you can travel around Europe cheaply and camp/park anywhere....no restrictions! Amazing idea Janine 💪 I guess it just depends on if your backs can handle the bed but saying that you've been to India so I guess you'll be fine. Good luck! I'm mega excited ❤❤❤❤
Thank you, we are dead excited
How exciting! Looking forward to seeing how you take full advantage of the flexibility of a smaller vehicle, and how you cope without the luxuries but after seeing you do India I am sure that will be the easy part!
Presumably this is a short term project, wishing you all the luck with it, and looking forward to following your next adventure
Congratulations 🎊 back to the roots, may it be a glorious late spring and summer journey ☀️
Fingers crossed!
Hi guys been watching you for sometime I've live in a RV had bongos ,VW on my second old lwb sprinter and I can tell you not being able to stand up moving stuff from one place and back will drive you mad after a time.. Oh and no loo, heater for Janine umm not sure guys but will be interesting as you say good luck guys.
How are you going to live in that little van ? Go to toilet have a shower etc , your end up smelly, your proberly have to live at camp sites alot , so nervous for you both ,xxx
There's a UA-cam called Team Ateem. They've been very quiet lately, but for a year or more they lived and travelled extensively in a Fiat Doblo, which is a similar size. They show you how it's done.
Best subscribe and find out 😁
💗 Popular in Australia with European working holiday visa backpackers from estate cars to little vans depending on their budget but always 2nd hand and most do the conversion themselves
All the best with your new wheels and living
Will you tow a trailer too for cooking, luggage, water etc?
Freedom is No 1 🌻
@soniadownie8749 Don't you need a self containment certificate like in NZ to live in a Small Van or Camper??.
Hi, this is amazing!
I’m thinking of getting a Redcote boot jump, and a Berlingo or the Peugeot version.
I love micro campers I just sold my Doblo.
You can put a pop top on it to give more headroom 😃
Life is about taking risks and adventure good luck to you looking forward to following the micro camper journey! ❤
So you are moving into something you cannot swing a cat in ? 😅
No easy to use toilet etc. Never mind the weather influence and damp on the cooler days.
Big isn’t always best, this microcamper will remove the headache of finding suitable park ups. I hope you enjoy it.
So many pros to it, but also sacrifice
Fantastic! what a great next step on your journey - All the best, David & Rachel 👍❤
Thanks guys, we are dead excited 😊
Blimey! I thought downsizing was for retirees! A Berlingo doesn't seem like a home, but I can see that it'll be more appropriate for stealth camping. Good luck both.
Good luck to the both of you, But I'm not sure you've jumped the right way❤
Going back to why I loved your channel in the first place with your adventures in Freda the transit. Looking forward to this!!!!
Hi Guys, hope use ok! Love watching you in Morgan just like you used to, cooking and relaxing,love the car camping idea be able to fit into more spaces when traveling, so exciting can’t wait to see use on your nxt adventure thank you for taking us along, best of luck, take care stay safe love use ❤❤
❤❤❤
No Air Conditioning ? . That’s my biggest negative. Especially if you take it down to Spain
Don’t know how you’re going to manage but we’ll be with you!
Thank you 😂
Love it! Going to be an interesting experience for you. Can’t wait x
I did a home made conversion on my Berlingo 8 years ago. Just a wooden bed and futon cushion, s
torage boxes and portaloo. Had a great trip to Scotland and also to Disneyland with ny Grandaughter. I loved the simplicity of it. I have a larger more luxurious van now but have thought about downsizing again so I am really looking forward to watching your new adventure and see how you get on.
Full time living in the back of a car is not a “lifestyle” it’s sleeping rough. Good luck begging people for free showers and wc’s to use or stealing them. 15 year Berlingo…oh dear oh dear oh dear!!!! 😂😢😮😅
Sleeping rough in a car is getting harder & harder to do, (at least in North American - Canada & USA). Most of these vehicle livers are grifters that don't contribute positively to community/society, take a toll on family/friends and are rather self-centred.
I've been micro camping for years but then I brought a great big motorhome which was great but guzzled fuel and as about as stealthy as standing naked in a shopping centre so I now have a self converted Berlingo too. I have a easy to pitch drive away awning for long stays and put a curtain rail on the tailgate with some good quality shower curtains so I can cook in the dry if needed. Not sure I could live in it and there is only me and the dog but it does a good job so hope you enjoy it.
Thanks mate that's good to hear
Wow! Well done you two, what a great idea. You are both young and devoted to each other ❤ I'm just tagging along reliving my youth through you both with your adventures. Absolutely brilliant! Can't wait to see the bigger dream you both have one day. Take good care of yourselves 🙏 Ready for the next exciting episode. 👏🩷🚗🚘🎉
Thank you so much! 🙏✨️
Noooo not another French vehicle???
Looks like it would be OK for an over night stay. I can’t imagine two people living in it. Where do you put your luggage? Good luck.
Good luck but have you not learned your lesson with citroen??
Cool decision you two ❤ Looking forward to your even more freed up adventures 🎉
Welcome to the micro-camper club! ❤️
I have a swb caddy I have converted myself with recycled and donated bits of wood. I love it.
Amazing! Would love to see it
So you got rid of the ford transit because it was to small to sleep in now you’ve gone even smaller where is the sense in that??
We are in a beggars can't be choosers situation unfortunately...we have a vehicle, a roof and the bed is long enough
@@ThoseHappyDaysExactly, the bed is the most important part. If you can sleep well you’ll be fine.
I’ve probably gone through the same thought process as you Liam. Sleeping across a Transit or any other panel van is just impossible without expensive and unstealthy flares. If you have to sleep long ways, and you can’t stand up in it, you may as well go for a smaller van which is more economical.
I chose to get an ex British Gas 2015 Caddy Maxi, which cost me £6k with 110k miles on it. If I had more money to spend I would probably go for a Sainsbury’s delivery van like True Blue. Regardless. I can’t wait to get my conversion done so I can go exploring.
I saw u guys yesterday while i was walking the dog but didnt wanna bother u. Good to see u worked something out!
🎉🎉🎉fantastic news enjoy guys, this brought my nana and Papa so much joy when my papa used to travel around with my Nana in her seat in the back as she was disabled, she used to wave like the queen, and we used to call in the pope mobile 😂 Great stuff ❤
Haha love it 😀
I wasn’t expecting that!
Wow! Wasn’t expecting this! Sooo… this means we’ll see more of Janine behind the wheel? 😏
Travel light, leave a small footprint, go anywhere, on the cheap, smart design will miss for nothing. Modular so you can move from vehicle to vehicle increases freedom. Much more stealthier. Setup for indoor cooling for bad weather or privacy
After all the problems you had with Morgan and you buy a fifteen year old Berlingo. I just hope you don’t end up in an even bigger mess! Sorry to be negative, but a second hand vehicle that old when it is your home just does not make sense to me. I wish you the best of luck!
@@andrewstrathdee1469Its Very low mileage, not as likely.

Brilliant for sardines as it is a squeeze hope you got a good heater
Liam and Janine what a fantastic idea, it really has given me ideas thank you.
❤🎉
Trust me I went from a car to a small van with air bed and now a high top 1998 transit banana engine awesome!! Trust me I would not look back 😁
Sorry to say - i do not get what you guys are doing now ! You invested lots of time and money into Morgan, and now you are giving him away for - what reason exactly???? 😮To fold up and vegetate in a tiny little car - full time ? Unless you are just trying to create content, i do not see, why you should do this right now. Have been following your stories for quite some time, but i cannot understand you now. Good luck anyway !
Yea he covers the entire back space... Thats gonna be door bumper every night... Wrong move cause thisis where you get burned and just give up... With morgan they at least have a room to be in... And its worth some money if you need to sell for medical emergencys... What can berlingo cost in UK? I can get him for 3k euros mint condicion in croatia but value is droping every day... Dont make a decision while being influenced by emocions...
Was going to do the same a few years ago and chickened out. Now I have been diagnosed MND and so wish I had! Possessions really mean nothing at all. Take that from one who’s learnt the hard way!
So sorry to hear this, but thank you for commenting. Hopefully we will do you proud 🙏❤️
I will be honest with you guys and have been following you since your Morgan build..For a weekend or a few days away that would work..however after a few cold wet days, no heater, no shower, having to get out the vehicle to pee possibly in the middle of the night, and when pissing with rain...also if one of you gets sick, and without heat it will probably happen,what then..? I think you would have been better off with at least a transit van, they drive like a car as you know..don't take up much space and it would be less obvious when stealth camping if you don't make it look like a camper..leave it plain and possibly put a magnetic sign on the side when stealth parking ,making out it is a work vehicle..ie " Liam's Landscaping "..Stealth camping in a Berlingo with windows blacked out would be more obvious... I enjoyed the narrow boat venture last week..one positive about that life would be no potholes. I wish you both all the best as always
Good points, although we have no money for a transit camper...having a car at this stage is not only fun but necessary
@@ThoseHappyDays I understand, I didn't mean a transit camper, just a plain transit, easy to connect a fridge, just basics, porta pottie, sofa bed etc, I done this years ago in my LDV, just thinking of a bit of comfort for Janine.
Wishing you both the very best of experiences on your new adventure. I feel quite excited to be hearing about this new and simple life along the way . 🥂
