Brilliant video. Well informative. In terms of off grid, I do this all the time with our rally group from Yorkshire ( Yorkshire friends Ralliers). Since i joined, hardly book on caravan club sites. More roomy, less cost and fantastic venues. I would say, if you are doing more off grid, change your battery to a AGM, 120ah. These can run down to 20%, instead of 40% on the standard lead acid. Also they charge 4 times quicker. Good advice on the fridge, always use on gas, hardly uses anything. Once again, great video, you seem such a natural presenter.
Andrew I really appreciate this comment. The 1st comment on the video! When I returned I looked into AGM batteries as well as a MPPT solar charger as these both would have helped. But a great learning experience. I think I need to learn more about Yorkshire friends ralliers. Sounds great! Thank you for watching and taking time to comment. Rob.
Great video. Pretty much my experience too. I usually take a spare leisure battery that I keep in the back of the car. I use it to charge up phone power banks. I’ll be there this year after a six year absence. Can’t wait. 👍👍👍
That’s a great idea. I actually had a little lithium battery which charges off a solar panel. But because I only used it for my camera batteries I didn’t mention it as it wouldn’t have affected anything else.
Well done Robert, absolutely fantastic video. Can tell there’s a lot of work gone into the video. Glastonbury looked absolutely amazing. Keep up the good work Robert. ❤
Haf!!! Oh wow it’s great to hear from you!! Yeah we absolutely loved it, had a fantastic time. Unfortunately we won’t be there this year as we don’t have tickets…gutted but we’ll be watching at home. Hope all well your end? X
Great video, I went for the first time in 2005, caught the bug and haven't missed one since. Have worked the last 5 so normally onsight for 11 or 12 days in a campervan. Spot on with your tips and advice.
John I’m so grateful to hear this. It’s not quite hitting the amount of people I would have liked to any comment of this nature goes such a long way. Thanks.
Brilliant video. The bit at the end had me chuckling. Once youve been there's not a thing in the world that will stop you from trying every year to get tickets.
Cracking video, I've been looking for something like this for ages. Very helpful! Thanks for taking the time out of your festival to make this content! Gutted you guys didn't get tickets, hopefully see you in the field next year!
Just take a 5 day cooler, I fill large lunchboxes with water and freeze them into giant ice cubes, then throw all your cans of beer in there and you have cold beer all week, this year will be my 10th, tried and tested
Great insight in to doing Glasto in the van. We’re going this year and thinking of going in my friends motorhome instead of my big tent, so sending this through to her. Interesting that you could set up Tuesday, I’d wondered this, with the car parks being open. Thanks so much, sorry you couldn't get tickets this year, good luck for resale. Hope to film some bits with my 6 year old daughter and put on her youtube channel @ChloesDayOut
Great video, love the editing, really captured what it's about. We hire a campervan when we go and use the fridge with gas, works a treat. Shame you haven't got tickets this year, we were somehow lucky enough to get some again!
This was a great video, someone recommended it in Facebook. We’ve done it in a tent and our campervan a number of times. The van is definitely preferable. Shame there are less campervan fields now, seems to be all moving over to £££ glamping type tents. Upgrading your batteries and solar would help. We’ve always run a compressor fridge and a 12v cool box for the week we’re there. I guess in a caravan you potentially won’t do a lot of off grid camping though so possibly not worth the £. Glad your enjoyed it though and again, great video.
Thankyou for a great comment. I really hope they don’t completely get rid of them that would be a huge shame. And you’re right. Batt and sole upgrade pending. Including a video about it.
Can't imagine paying the exorbitant CV pass price to camp somewhere with no atmosphere a 30-60 minute walk from the stages that you have to do at minimum twice a day.
I can only my speak from experience. It depends which stage your travelling to. But from the circus stages. It’s a 9 minute walk. And to prymid from my caravan in 2023 I could walk it in 18 mins. It cost me £150. For me it was worth it. We were surrounded by some lovely people and there was an atmosphere. Sure it wasn’t banging with music but that what I wanted. I wanted to be able to get away from it all and sleep. But still have some atmosphere. But each to their own right?
Great video mate. Whats the situation with food vendors on the campsite itself before entering festival? And how long does your water last for the shower?
Yeah there is a vendor at the top of the hill before you descend into the entrance to the festival. I don’t think there’s any after that point. But it’s a good place to go before heading in as they are busier. But the food was really good everywhere! So there was 4 of us in the van and we could get showered on one aquaroll. That was quick rinse. Turn it off. Lather up, rinse off. Done. So sparingly. Hope that helps.
Hilarious. And for clarity I had asked her 12 questions by this point. I think she was humouring me to even answer the question by that point. 🤣 thanks for watching and commenting. R
In my opinion no. But that’s not to say it’s easy. I was as set up for the camping tickets as I was for the main tickets. I would approach both the same.
If you have any other Tips you can share with anyone looking at this feel free to add some in the comments.
Bravo Bravo Robert!!! Well done cracking video, best one yet! ❤
Thankyou Luke. Really appreciate the support.

Superb video! My dad takes their van every year and they absolutely love it!
You are a true gent. Thankyou for your comment buddy. Your dad’s a lucky man we couldn’t get any this year. Hope your well mate. Rob

Wow what an experience that must be. Thanks for your comment really appreciate it.
Great video, informative and incredibly edited!
Thanks Kurtis really appreciate you watching pal! 👍🏼
Excellent video. Very informative and very useful tips for any off grid event. Many thanks for your efforts and keep up the good work 👍

Cheers Daniel. You are not wrong!!! 🤣
Such an amazing video, Rob!!!!🔥👏👏👏
Ahh thankyou Beth. Means a lot. I love it when people that don’t even have or are interested in caravans enjoy my videos. Thanks for watching.
Great video as always Rob! Loved catching up with you both via your trip to Glastonbury it looked amazing xx
Thankyou love. Appreciate it. Hope you guys are all well x
@@thebigtow we are really good thanks!! Looks like you've had a fab birthday weekend!!

Thankyou very much. Really appreciate it. I reallly hope you do. Ha.
Great video. Rob goes off grid this should be fun :)
Cheers Simon.
This is the only way you would get me to Glastonbury 😂 I’ve never been because I hate the thought of being in a tent and not showering for days
The exact reason we had never been!! As soon as we got the caravan I said oooooh guess what!… 🤣
Just take a 5 day cooler, I fill large lunchboxes with water and freeze them into giant ice cubes, then throw all your cans of beer in there and you have cold beer all week, this year will be my 10th, tried and tested
That’s a great tip Steve. I’ll remember that for next time. Thanks for the comment.
Brilliantly well made.
Thankyou very much!

Thank you very much!
Change your gas bottle to a safefill you fill up as and when needed bottle expensive to start but costs about 10 to 15 quid to fill up.
Yep got one Craig. Fantastic. In fact there a full review of my thoughts on it on the channel! I love it. Thanks for watching.
Can't imagine paying the exorbitant CV pass price to camp somewhere with no atmosphere a 30-60 minute walk from the stages that you have to do at minimum twice a day.

Another question mate is there anything you need to attach to the hose to be able to reach the water barrel?
100,000 miles! that's exactly what my Mrs would say 😆
Hilarious. And for clarity I had asked her 12 questions by this point. I think she was humouring me to even answer the question by that point. 🤣 thanks for watching and commenting. R
Is the camper ticket as hard to get as the festival ticket ?
In my opinion no. But that’s not to say it’s easy. I was as set up for the camping tickets as I was for the main tickets. I would approach both the same.
AMAZING video Rob well worth the 10month wait 🙌🏼👏🏻🏕️
🤣
