- #vanlifeuk #yorkshire We chose some bad places to park-up this week, doing winter van life in the UK
This week, we continue North of England & Yorkshire in our converted Ford Transit Friday campervan, visiting Scarborough and Robin Hood's Bay
There was only one park up out the four that came out OK, the rest had boy racers, speeding cars all night, and windy.
It was an enjoyable week regardless, but we will always show you the ups and downs, no matter what happens

We lived in Derbyshire, got engaged at Scarborough and now living in Scotland, loving seeing the places with special memories for us
they have given me many memories on their journey x
I asked my wife of 17 years how long we would last living together in a camper- van.She reckoned 15 mins !🤣
🤣
Haha yes, especially this time of year.
Hahaha
🤣🤣🤣
We've done the odd week in ours and it was shall we say, very trying 😆
Lovely feel -good video, just shows you can still get out and about even though it's winter. Loved the parking ticket prank!!!
💚🚐👍
Nice meeting you guys later on that evening. You will always remember Scarborough the day you nealy got a parking ticket lol
Hahaa great meeting you too, was a funny day and you well and truly got us 🤣😭🚐
As soon as they showed where they were parked I thought that’s Chris and Sarah’s parking spot 🤣😂👍 nice one guys 😂 so funny 😆👍 ... 😘🤗❤️👵🏼🐾🐾🤠 xxxx
Love watching your videos, both of you are entertaining and show with honesty how van life is, the good and the bad . I would say winter is the hardest time of the year yet you are both still positive . you both complement each other very well. In years to come you'll have many many stories to tell together with so many memories 💖 bless you both xxx
It’s the fact that life throws them daily challenges, they meet and deal with head on , that adds to the variety .
Ya'll are my favorite van life couple! You give a realistic view to life on the road. I only made it three years and I was in a 13×40 foot RV I had to throw in the towel! Couldn't get use to the uncertainty of transient life. People who haven't lived in a home on wheels won't understand just how completely nerve wracking it can be to simply travel down uncertaint roads where you don't know if you'll be able to park or get stuck etc. Wishing you both new year wishes from Nashville Tennessee ✌💫
We also appreciated reading your real life experience of van life 💚🚐
Hope there were some good times as well? Hope you have some great memories, that you can share, one day?
@Derek Duxbury absolutely! The negative outweighed the positive so it was time to change directions. If we did it again we would do things differently as we learned a lot through our experience. Keep in mind I enjoy roots and community something I found challenging to create as a nomad. And we were rambling down the road in a huge Blue Bird Wander Lodge so our options were often very limited! ✌️
WOW what a beautiful relationship you both have your so lucky to have each other and live a life together free in freeda your beautiful home 💖👍💖👍💖
We do feel very fortunate, thank you 💚
You're both so lovely and I think just a little more organisation or prep could make all the difference for your enjoyment of van life. Like the water issue. Why not set an alarm reminder for say 3pm every day to check it. That way you'll never be caught out and uncomfortable at night x
Good idea
All part of the adventure! You're bound to forget something every now and then.
Idea for bed: build either a slide out or flip up extension on the side of the bed that extends into you kitchen aisle. Create a mattress piece that you use as a pillow on the bed when not in use. Attach to extension with double sided velcro. Until you did a more permanent solution?
Great tip 😴
Hey guys....I had this problem in my first build. Similar set up to yours. What I did was remove the wooden sides separating the bed from the kitchen counter. Then I created a raised frame just under the mattress that took the mattress to just above the height of the worktop. I added heavy duty runners to the raised frame and added thick plyboard across them. So if you imagine, the ply sheet pulls out into the van itself, over the work surface from the raised space you've created. You put a cut to fit piece of memory foam on it and you can then sleep with your head by back doors on a super wide bed with loads of leg room that you retract back under the raised frame in the day time. I hope that makes sense!!! It worked really well for me - I'm 5"11 but you can make your pull-out as long as you need. We MUST keep you on the road and comfy!! Keep making these amazing videos! Hugs, Tracy 😍
You beat us too it.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Also, put some heat relective material under the mattress.
Excellent vid. Our favourite coast. Maggie and MACK, Huddersfield
@@MACK13 thanks for the reminder Mack......I keep forgetting the heat reflective material under the mattress!!! 🤦🏻♀️
@@TeeMac68 I know your bed is 6' wide .. how deep is it?
@@MACK13 it was a 4" cool blue memory foam.
Thank you Tract, that's a really good suggestion from someone who has experienced the problem ❤
Hope you two are having a great day today 😊. I was concerned about your van's humidity problem can turn to mold. In the States there is a product that absorbs humidity (damp rid) or you can make your own DIY with kitty litter in a box. Or small dehumidifiers are sold on amazon (do you have a wish list). Also putting newsprint in your shoes helps them dry faster. Change the newsprint if it gets damp. Haa, I was searching for solutions like a good granma would. Keep having fun living the good life! 😃
For the short term could you just get a bit of plywood cut to 6ft x the width of the walkway. Store it flat underneath the mattress during the day then at night turn it round 90 degrees and have it sticking out as far as you need it. Your body weight should hold the bit that's still under the mattress in position then put a couple of pillows on the bit that extends.
Thank you, it's something we have considered at length 💚
I was born and raised in Scarborough, now live in the less frigid climes of Brazil. When it got really cold we used to say it was time for the big coat!
Loving the ongoing adventures guys. 😎
The hills in that neck of the woods are so steep. I remember crying while driving up a hill near Whitby, in 1st gear in my old T2 VW. It was literally about to give up and roll backwards and there was a car right on my tail. I was crying saying ‘I’m not going to maaaake it!’, after that every time I saw one of those road signs with the steep incline, I got the absolute fear! 😧
I totally had thos moment today making my way to Arbour Low in my battered up 20 year old vanessa 😂😂😂😂
Love watching you 2. Fantastic joke by another van lifer. It looks so nice by the sea. Think once you have lived by the sea you always have a pull back. Have a wonderful week ahead. Xx
Thank you Ruby 💚
You parked exactly where my ex and I parked when we went to Scarborough with the kids. It was a great place to visit and the kids loved it. I watch a lot of vanlife channels and I've just started watching yours. It's great to see vanlifers in the UK, I'm really enjoying your videos and I loved the fake ticket. ❤
Really enjoying your channel.
Love the coast in winter - Scarborough was my childhood haunt.
Tough for Liam with the bed issue giving him a bad back. Take care with that, it will get worse over time if it’s not addressed - sooner rather than later! Good luck with everything. No idea how you do it, but great to watch. Thank you 👏🏻😊
Glad your back ( poor Liam hope he gets the bed sorted) he needs his sleep especially as he is the driver . You both work well together , stay safe until next time ,☘️☘️☘️
Appreciate the concern and support Margaret 💚
Winter in the North of England is brutal when you live in a house, never mind a van. If you can survive that you can survive anything.
Haha makes you tougher doesn't it
Southern softies or what ?....Try Scotland...that'll nip yer keeks...
I really enjoy watching your travels; it provides me the opportunity to travel to places I may not get a chance to visit. Keep learning and adventuring🙏🏾❤️
Thank you, and it's a pleasure 🙏
Hmm you could make a flap that folds out to accommodate your length and flaps down for day time so you can still have your same layout. Or a table to add at the edge for same effect.
A tip from me .. for the Dog mess on shoes use a pump up pressure sprayer bottle to spray off the dirt on the sole of the shoe .. works perfectly 100 % ....
Good shout! Will try that next time 💚
I love how much down to earth 🌎 you guys are. That's why I love your channel, because you don't pretend that everything is always perfect and you show both sides. Greetings from Amsterdam ☺️
Thanks guys, that means a lot 💚🚐
I love watching you guys because you're so real and relatable. Hope the sleep issues gets better soon!
Thank you Leah, so do we 🙏💚
Lovely to see my home town (Scarborough) looking fabulous in the sunshine It does get bitterly cold though. Great videos, I'm enjoying coming along on your adventure
Thank you for joining us Julie 💚
Have you thought about 'side extension flares' for your sleeping issue Liam? Worth a look perhaps ☺️
Also, what about a Karcher vacc for your condensation issue ... Worth considering perhaps 🤔 🙂.
I love your realism! Despite your challenges, I really hope you are both settling into and enjoying your new full-time vanlife.
Great video as always! Take care. x
LOVE THE WAY YOU HOLD YOUR FORK.
Lefty
Oh my days. I really feel for you guys as over Christmas and New year you haven't had much luck at all and you guys seem to just keep on getting hit with more bad fortunes. I enjoy watching your content as you seem genuine people trying to make the most of life which is more than you can say for most lol. Keep up the good work guys and keep making memories with the ones you love the most and in moments of madness keep your chins up and stay positive in mind, body and soul. Plus it could always be worse.🤙
That's a great attitude to have, and one we try to adopt ourselves 💚
Oh Liam, I feel so much for you on the short bed thing. It must feel so claustrophobic at night when you can't stretch out at all. I know a lot of vanlifes don't mind (I follow a woman who slept for YEARs crouched up in a tiny Kangoo camper van WITH her huge dog) Some people are fine with it, but obviously: many arent. I have seen some build outs with a bed that slides out the other way and kind of slides over the kitchen. Obviously it brings other issues with it (no more making coffee while one person is still sleeping etc. I suppose any layout change brings sacrifices. But I do agree with others here: sleep is SO VERY important. I would really keep your eyes out for layout changes without sacrificing your kitchen, I know they are there. ) I also have seen many people installing "bump outs" which add an inch or so on each side of the van in the bed area to just notch the bed up those critical inches for taller folks. Seems to be a bit on the pricey side too. It would be shame for you to have to give up full time van life because of a few inches of bed space needed to let you sleep better :(
Thank you Lynne, you are right that it's such an important issue, and we are taking it very seriously and going through all the possibilities 💚
@@ThoseHappyDays looking forward to seeing how you solve the issue and really enjoying your videos :)
An idea for a length-ways, pull-out bed: Mark and Heather [yt] from 3 weeks ago - 'microvan bed build: can tall people fit?'. Love coming on your travels. You also communicate the cold issues well 😉
My boyfriend and I traveled the UK with the camper this summer and your videos bring back the memories - thank you 😊 greetings from Germany
💚🚐
I’ve just discovered your channel today. I’ll have to binge watch to catch up. I love the music you choose to play.
Thanks for watching, music is everything to us so we hope you like the channel 😊
Sorry about the problems you ar experiencing. The most important thing is to sort out the bed. Over time you wil develop a very bad back, so don't kid yourself. It's better to be realistic now, so you change the situation and you'll immediately be much better off in many ways. If you can't change the layout, you'll have to consider changing the van. This sounds extreme but it's essential to look after your back, not to mention the sleep issues. Bite the bullet and deal with it sooner rather than later. I'm short and it's only just ok for me to sleep across the van, but at 6.2 it's definitely no good for you. I have spinal problems, so I know what I'm saying. Thanks for the video, but do deal with your bed issues soon. Happy new year X
Love that your showing real vanlife, I'm a few months away from starting. And like you will be vegan on the road. Fantastic content thank you for sharing your adventures 😀
That's a pleasure Paul 🙏
Great video. Keep heading north up the coast, Northumberland is fantastic. I think you can solve your sleeping issue but not with a fixed bed. I’m sure you’ve seen other peoples vans where they have a pull out section and extra cushions. I know it’s not ideal but it’s better than being cramped. Good luck sorting that. Thanks for sharing your adventure.
Hi Guys. As always you bring van life to us Couch potatoes ( me). Having you show us. The ups and downs But Janine has that amazing smile even when things get a little scary ( The Drone ) Love the parking ticket. Prank Liam your face before. You opened it 🤣 you guys are brilliant
So jealous if I was only younger. You make me smile so much Thank you Love n Respect to you both 🌹🌹🌹
Hope you had a lovely time in Scarborough despite the joke ticket lol I've lived there now for 15 years so lovely to see vanlifers visiting the town 💜
Love the area, you are very lucky 💚
Enjoying your videos from the US. I do have a suggestion for you all on the gas. Keep a second gas tank in the back so you always have a back up. I know you have limited space but it looks like you have room in the back for an extra.
So lovely to watch a video in Scarborough!! 😍one of my fav spots… hope you can sort the bed soon must be difficult Liam!!
TY for sharing the adventures and VIEWS! 😊 So fun to see each village, and the sheer beauty of history-rich England (living vicariously across the pond whilst necessarily tho happily cloistered). Much love to you both. PS Corny, tho must say I adore the accents... and new words I'm learning! 😀
Just found you both, I love your honesty; your tenacity, your keep on keeping on. Your story telling will keep me watching. I hope you find a solution for Liam’s sleeping issue. My mother lives in Scarborough so was good to see the beach again from cold and wet Surrey. Wishing you both a happy adventure for 2022 xx
Thank you for tuning in and following our journey. We love Scarborough, Happy new year 😊
Haha...love the parking ticket joke...so funny! Also it was fun for me to see you in my old home town - Withernsea. It's pretty down at heel these days but was a bustling seaside town when I was a kid. Nice place to grow up. Love seeing where you go.
Hey Tess, yes it looked like the government could do with chucking some money it's way for some help with maintenance and small businesses. But had a charm regardless 💚
Janine and Liam you guys are fab! Really hope you both sleep well tonight.
Love your videos!
Love Scarborough too!!
Thank you Janine 😊 💚
Love Robin Hood Bay. Last time we visited was March 2019. Stayed at Cayton Bay. Lovely beach there. Hopefully get back there this year. Great vlog guys. Love the filming and the music. Hope you get the bed situation sorted. Stay safe.
Hi just watched you video and may have a solution for the bed issue. There are companies which make side flares which give bit more space inside the van. Also try opening a window slightly and run the fan on extract to help with the condensation.
Hey guys. Loved catching up with you and seeing the places we spent our honeymoon in over 46 years ago now and I was literally screaming at the TV when you started to head down the road into Robin Hoods Bay... No oooo.. Don't do it!
Sorry Liam that you're having such a torrid time trying to sleep, nothing worse. Keep your chin up, you've got this 🙂
Hahaha that was a steep hill 🤣
I love that you show all sides of van life, rather than just the idealistic views. It’s so refreshing ❤️
Thank you, we couldn't do it any other way 💚
Beautiful shots of the surf and south bay at Scarborough
Thank you Nick 💚
We lived full time for five years and did two Winters in the Uk. Yes its hard but we had the luxury of a full heated MH. Around the boy racer/Rave situation. Many times over the years of full timing we parked up and then had cars turn up for their nights fun. Yes its inconvenient from your point of view but as we know there is no rule against what they were doing. This happened to us in the Uk and mainland Europe without any feeling of intimidation. At no time have the other visitors interfered with us the van in any way. We always make a point of parking up, not on blocks and in a position to just drive off if required. Its amazing how many people get up and walk dogs at 5 o'clock in the morning. You will love the Yorkshire coast line
Yeah agree, apart from an audible sense, they don't interfere
Hi there !
How are You both?
I only found you this week.
I am thoroughly enjoying your adventure .
I used to travel a lot then struck by chronic illness and now a recluse , your travels take me with you and it’s a delight and help to my health and well being.
Love also your adventures with food as also vegan.
Wishing you a better solution for sleeping and a good 2022.
If ever you are in North Somerset call in for hot shower ( not being weird ! 😂 ) and some food! We have a lovely coast line .
Take care on the roads.
Peace and Love 🙏🏻🤍🚐🥰✨
It seems so sad that you have gone from a traveller to recluse because of illness. You made me stop and reflect. Hope things are good you at the moment.
@@harrytd50 Bless You Harry.
I have just come out of hospital again.
This channel is so wonderful and takes me to childhood places and my travels around UK. It helps a lot . Interesting to see how time and growth has changed things so much.
But this is still a beautiful country. 💚✨
The food inspires me too . Brilliant all round !
I hope you are well and enjoy travelling and have a great 2022.
Namaste 🙏🏻✨
@@marshgirl Hi Sharon, I 'm pleased you are on the mend (again.) I'm currently in Thailand avoiding the winter at home. Everything is great here weather, food and really inexpensive. I love the idea of van life but at 66 maybe think it might be too difficult😀. Take care
Love your videos, so natural. I had a similar bed problem in my Berlingo, because I wanted a comfy small armchair as well , so I raised part of the kitchen storage area, put two boxes under for storage during the day , at night the two boxes go on top of unit and my feet fit underneath!Trust you get it sorted God bless.
Thank you, its a tricky situation as our space is all used up really
You seem so happy together and having fun on your travels great to see in these trying times,dead envious. Be safe take care.
Thank you Anthony, we are having a great time & adventure 😀 💚🚐
Congrats on passing 20k subs, well deserved 👏🍾🎉
Thank you guys 😊
Take a look at Balmedie Beach north of Aberdeen, the beach and sand dunes is absolutely stunning has to be my favourite or close to it, love your videos many thanks 🙏 x
Nice one Paul, will add it to the list 👍
just back tracking through your videos so pleased you stuck with it
🙏🤩
Great video guys but oh no about Liam not sleeping and the cold, Hope you manage to sort things out. Stay safe from those boy racers. You are incredibly brave the pair of you and you put up fantastic raw content. Really look forward to your blogs and you manage to still appreciate the scenery and views even when things are so tough. Really look forward to the days when you are warm and comfortable again. Loads of love. xxxx
Thank you Tina, very kind & warming words 💚🙏
Just recently started watching your vlogs. Did you know you can get portable dehumidifiers that will run off your battery. Just for the condensation. Check out Amazon. Love your channel guys. Good luck in all you do xx
Hey Lyndsey, think we got what you are talking about after reading your comment 😉 thank you x
You could do with a window vac! We have one for our van, defo worth it.
Thanks Kyle, might give it a go 🙏🚐
“Good times are round the corner. I swear it’s getting warmer” new order-run wild. Was listening to this yesterday I think it was wrote for you guys😜
Great sites and reviews, thanks guys, wow you've got around this week, so excited to see the next stops x
❤️❤️❤️
What about side pods/flares to extend Liam's sleeping length without sacrificing any space in the van?
It's an idea for sure 💚
Love your videos - so glad that the parking ticket was a jest (we're a funny lot in Yorkshire 😁). If you're still touring about in North Yorkshire, hope you get to Helmsley. Beautiful little market town with an official free (6pm-9am) park-up in the overflow carpark beside the castle. We've often overnighted there - peaceful, yet central with some lovely walks. Hope you carry on enjoying our beautiful county 🥰
Hey that's interesting as someone else mentioned that place too, will definitely add it to the list, thank you 😊
Puppy pads are a life saver in the winter ...
Put down in your entrance points brilliant for mud dog poo and really wet boots 👍...
Easy to dispose of too ....
Another great video Janine and Liam.
I'm sorry to hear about your bed problems Liam. I'm sure you will both figure it out.
In the winter I sleep in a sleeping bag with a duvet on top.
I loved the joke parking ticket.
Looking forward to seeing your next video.
Thank you Stuart, we are putting a lot of time into working it out 💚
A quick question, is there a reason that you haven't headed for warmer climes during the winter? We usually head for the South of Spain, though admittedly Covid has put paid to that for the last 2 years. Our van needs some work at the moment, but once that's done (and it's had it's MOT) we will be buggering off to the sun 😂
Great video and that parking ticket 😂. Is there any chance of getting a bigger vehicle as being too tall for the bed isn’t sustainable.
That's like a last resort 😭🚐
Its an adventure of learning for you both, what an experience, ups and downs, beautiful views, welcoming people and your belief in each other.
Take care, keep safe..
Ps. Liam, please sort your bed asap, you need a good nights sleep.
Thank you Annie, I am working on it 🙏
Beautiful filming you two.......I am so envious of your ability to go travelling. I wish!!
Thank you that's very kind 😊
Brilliant episode as usual, we so look forward to them every week.
Boy racers are an occupational hazard for van lifers. Glad they only played music. The larger the car park the greater the risk of them turning up in our experience.
Dog shite is my worst fear in the van so I try and check before getting into the van but that doesn’t stop you stepping in it. A spray bottle with water and a bit of disinfectant together with a small brush that just get’s used for that is pretty effective for cleaning the shoes.
What does Korma really taste like ? We have visited loads of Indian restaurants and never had the same taste twice on any curry. I usually go for a dhansak but they all taste very different 😁
The water strategy seems a pain. How about marking a minimum line on the tank below which you swap them before settling down. It’s mentally more doable before you get cosy and it saves losing precious heat. You could consider a second pump from tank 2 into tank 1 that you could use to transfer some if you ran out. It’s power supply could just be plugged into a 12v socket when needed, no need for a switch. Might be a rubbish suggestion but I thought I would mention it.
The bed is a serious problem. We take a night in a hotel on longer trips to get some respite but that is no solution for full time life. Some van lifers have created alcoves and made the van a little wider but I don’t know how they do it. I wonder if you could string a hammock for a bit of respite. I know a UA-camr who sleeps that way in his Landrover Defender. Not a long term solution but it might buy time. I saw a van that had a bed that got winched up to the ceiling during the day. It was an ingenious design that allowed it to be levelled so the van could park on a slope if needed. He had a lounge during the day and the bed lowered at night.
I know the feeling when a drone is being blown away. The adrenalin really kicks in which is why you shake afterwards. You probably already know but switch immediately into sports mode, start flying back whilst getting it as low as you dare. The wind strength gets less nearer to the ground. If it’s not working land it where you can reach it and walk out to get it. The display shows you the speed it’s flying and the distance from you. If that distance is not reducing and your height is low then land it before it gets out of reach. Practice this routine when it’s not too windy so it becomes automatic. It’s also worth practicing how to find the drone using the controller if it’s landed out of sight. Time is the essence when that happens as it’s battery will eventually die. It’s saved me loads of times now and it will really help your confidence.
Your film making is excellent. It just keeps getting better and better so bloody well done.
Magic fingers Maxwell has a clever strategy, many of your viewers will take a look at him I am sure. We will, he better be good 😁👍
Stay safe and we hope Liam’s back improves.
Great advise and comments from another of my favourite UA-camrs.
Ditto what the person below replied, you guys have amazing advice all the time and we learn a hell of a lot from you all the time. Will pass the drone tips onto janine...she is still nervous with it 😬
@@ThoseHappyDays the nerves will reduce but sadly they never go completely. 😁👍
As a dog owner, nothing annoys me more than lazy bastards that don't pick up after their animals.
25 mins in: There's a popular van life park up on the cliff tops near cayton bay. It is a de-commisioned road.
Done it, I think that's where we parked up?
Great video as always guys, if you stand on dog poo in future put boiling water over it and it just makes it run off your shoe and then spray antibacterial over it and repeat!! It shifts it all off then and leaves it clean n fresh, then same to the mat too and leave to dry, there's nothing worse tbh I hate when folks don't clean up after their dogs!! Xxx
I enjoy watching the videos may I take this opportunity of wishing you both a happy New Year it’s a pity you can’t swap your van around for a much bigger one I know the cost comes into it but would it be worth it for a good night sleep
Hey guys, I am a van life guy on and off and see you are hitting some obstacles.
I am now up in the North Yorkshire Moors in Rosedale.
I would happily show you around here a bit with my dog Roy.
As vegans you might not fish but I can certainly show you a trick or two for some trout or a pier fish. I few tricks to help when you run out of gas or food.
Free camping in Hull perhaps not the best call!
Not sure how to contact you as not much for social media but drop me something here to guide me to an email or something. Twitter?
Its about time I had an account!
Warm showers and such.
I also work at the famous Lion Inn on Blakey Ridge which is well worth a visit and you can park up for the night.
Check it out on google.
Thanks mate, kind offer 💚🚐
I love you both, and find your videos very informative. Stay safe and warm. 🧡🇬🇧🧡
Thank you Terry 💚
Hi guys I know you've had some challenges recently but that will help you so much in the future. East coast at the coldest time of year maybe not. Come here to Cumbria especially the south because it's way milder than the east coast now. You're are both doing well don't worry and we love watching your videos and love that they are so real. COVID will be over soon so summer you could be in Spain, Italy, France or any of the many beautiful warm European countries. Stay strong lovelies and Happy New year. Love & hugs xxx
Thank you for your positivity & support 🙏
That ticket gag was hilarious 😂 another great video, I've got the family hooked now too, it's our new favorite soap.
Haha soap 🧼
You got some great shots of Scarborough. That joke ticket was Hilarious 🤣 If only all parking tickets were like that!! 😉 Hope you manage to sort something out for your sleep. Must be so uncomfortable in a bed too small. 😔 I would be ok width ways! as I’m only 4 ft 11 😂 Look forward to next Sunday’s. Stay safe and Warm! 🚐
Love your video as always, Scarborough is a special place for my family we use to take our children there each year, Love the whole of that part of Yorkshire..Happy Days
💚🚐
Hi guys rise your bed a little so that a you can have pull out. That slides into place just above the kitchen units. To the length you want. Have a odd cut of memory foam which can be used as a seat back during the day .you're and the pull out can be sleep on at night and can be put back under the mattress base . During the day You will be sleeping back to front not side to side.I hope this goes you an idea what to do. You can still keep you kichen too 🥰🥰🥰
Ooo cool, will check it out 🚐😍
Hi guys,
I love you both so much that I'm watching older videos of you as I miss you on days that you don't vlog 🥰
You are both such amazing, funny and genuine people, aswell as being awesomely vegan, of course 💜
Lots of love from Wales 🏴
Sadie Lou 😘 xx
So interesting, thank you. You don't have problems; you just have challenges!
Another great video guys I hope you get your bed sorted out and Liam is not in to much pain.
Thank you Nicky 💚
Sorry you’re not getting enough sleep Liam. I’m wondering if you can somehow make a bed lengthways along the van but have pieces that pull out to make it a double and extend the length of the bed. Also I reckon you’d benefit from a karcher window vac for the condensation.
Despite these problems you’re still
Having a great time by the look of it. Absolutely enjoy every second of your videos. Take care 😊
Thank you Dan, we are ultimately always having a fab time, no regrets 😀
I work up in Hull every summer and get the odd day off when I explore that coastline. I love it, thanks for sharing your adventure.
It's beautiful along there isn't it 😍
@@ThoseHappyDays I hope you get to Runswick Bay and Staithes on your journey next but I am sure you may well have been by now. (You will have too empty your piggy bank to live in Runswick Bay though). Do not forget to look for some fossils on your beach walk either.
Need to send positive vibes and love 💕 & hugs 🤗 to Janine & Liam to help them endure the difficult of vanlife. Excellent vlog and fantastic to have optimism, things could have been worse. I think both of you are tougher than you look.
Uiiuuuuuuuuuu
Thanks David, I hope we are tougher than we look 🤣
Another fab video, keep them coming guys 👍
Pleased you got the drone back Janine, you're braver than me, I've looked at one but too scared I'd crash it on its maiden flight 🤦♂️
Hope you can get the sleeping arrangement sorted Liam, you do need to sort it as best as you can in the short term, lack of sleep can be devastating to your health & having to drive while tired & in pain isn't good
But knowing you guys you'll get it sorted, you won't let it stop you 👊👊👍🤙
Thanks Richard, we don't let things bother us too long as you say before we find the solution and take action 😉
I love this channel. It’s my new favourite on UA-cam.
Thank you Janet 💚
My new favourite channel . Great videos. Love seeing your adventures. 💙 Lots of love from London .❤
Thank you Yvette 💚
Feeling your pain about bad sleep. We have a little t25 so the bed goes away in the day and comes out at night so length isn't an issue but last year I flipped out and we had to go buy a mattress topper and duvet mid trip. Obviously not a big rebuild issue like you but we can never underestimate how important sleep is. I see people have give you great ideas and I hope something works! Happy New Year and veganuary!
Thank you, you are right sleep is very important! Will work something out, happy new year 🎉
I have trouble sleeping myself so I really feel for you Liam.I hope you can sort it out ,perhaps fitting into a longer bed in the van. Good luck to the both of you .I do enjoyed the episode and the background music as well.
Thank you Ned, appreciate the support 🙏
I’ve got a VW T4 and was working in Shetland for 7months last year, a friend up there recommended a Kartcher window cleaner - sucks up all the condensation in seconds and is rechargeable. Absolutely amazing, wish I’d known about them years ago!
Going to look into this, thank you 💚
Made my day seeing you today ❤ 💕 💙 lots of love Sarah ❤ 😍 💖
Thank you Sarah, is a total pleasure 🙏
Very interesting channel not many people would be keen to do what yous two are doing thats for sure. You both come across as very genuine people wishing yous luck 👍
Thank you 💚
Make sure you visit Flamborough--there are 2 landings North and South --both beautiful--also Bempton nature reserve.All 3 have good overnight parking--great vid' again guys.
This might have been said but a Karcher window vac was a game changer for us. No more mopping the windows with paper or rags! Only just discovered your videos and enjoying working my way through them - thanks.
Thank you Sue 💚 👍
Wishing you both a very happy new year 😊,really feel for the sleeping situation,if you've had a good night sleep, you can handle anything, so hope you find a solution soon 😴. Maybe once a week or 2 weeks,find alternative bed to crash on,friends?or b&b, always great quality content, even in winter, you make it look fun😊, love, love, love you guys
Thank you Julie Ann, we are working hard to come up with solutions now...wish us luck 👍 💚
