Oh I so can feel for you! I have been wanting to do the Vanlife thing here in the states for a while. I have been downsizing and getting rid of so many things that I have collected over 50 years time. I had been looking for a SUV and finally after about 10 months found one that I could afford with lower mileage and was all wheel drive. I had it less than two weeks and it did this to me. I was in the turn lane of a busy road to the airport. After towing I was told I needed a new engine! Believe me I shed many tears and it’s is in the garage now too being fixed! 😢 It’s just a sit back though! One of the many lessons I learn from this journey called life. I’m so grateful I wasn’t in the middle of nowhere…because I was leaving for Ohio that night with my 81 year old mom.! Blessings to you and yours!

I think ‘vanlife’ means being independant and selfsupportive for starters….. So your van being your ‘everything’ probably means you need to be more than half a mechanic yourself!! The newer vans are increasingly complicated and it’s modern electronics are a science on their own… My advice: look for an oldtimer van and make sure you know your stuff about fixing it!!

I’ve got exactly the same model of vivaro that I use for my Gardening business up here in the Peak District. A few weeks back after a period of heavy rain I had all the lights on the instrument binnacle and ‘Engine fault do not drive’ . I decided to chance it and took it steady to home as I was soaked and cold. After a bit of Googling on a Vivaro forum it was recommended to disconnect the negative terminal on the battery and leave it if for approx an hour. This I did and when I reconnected it the issue had gone away and I have had no issues since. The day the problem appeared I had had the lights, wipers, heater, radio on I think this had put a strain on the battery. Hope you get yours sorted. I hope to convert my van when I buy a new one and give it a graceful retirement full of camping trips. Great Videos followed you from the start 👍🏻

Great video 👍. Also I’m guessing the alternator has died and possibly damaged the battery at the same time. Common signs of dying alternator are multiple warning lights and electrics acting up and with the battery only being at 10 volts. Also use a good local garage.

Very similar problems with my car last winter, turned out to be a duff battery. Warning lights all over the dash, and power steering sometimes wouldn't work. The voltages looked low when the RAC chap was checking with the multimeter. In hindsight I wish I'd the battery before I let them replace the alternator as they figured that was the cause initially. Hope you're back on the road with a cheap bill soon.

I killed my transit with condensation running down the windscreen into the electrics . Warning lights came on like Christmas lights and buggerd the ecu and blew the engine up . Cut down on condensation by having plenty of ventilation, cook with lids on pans while the side door is open . And keep wet clothes in a sealed container until they can be dried outdoors. I now have a sprinter and have left the bulkhead in to stop the condensation reaching the windscreen and dripping down the dash . It sort of works .

I know you said the garage already checked it, but it all points to a bad battery (probably a bad cell inside) made worse by cold weather, highly possible the cause for the dash lights too. If you're engine cut out while driving, replace fuel filter (as it might have water in the bottom) this could also be the reason for the engine dash light.

I watched another vanlife one where his passenger side window went through at 3:am while he slept in the back, he released the emergency latch on back door leaped out naked and gave chase as the perp stole a backpack from the front seat. Most amusing bit was the van was locked via key fob and when he leaped out the door shut and auto locked as his keys were in the van. He had to clamber through passenger window to get back in.

This is usually a charging issue. If you're charging the camera with a USB port, or a USB hub the camera may fail to charge properly. This results in you having a solid red light on your camera and it won't power on until you soft reset the camera (hold down the side mode button for 10 seconds

Love the channel and Praa Sands! We have a Vivaro too. The airbag light is most likely the seat belt pre tensioner. Ours has come on in the past where we’ve shoved shoes under the passenger seat. If you’re looking for a good independent garage Nancegollen Garage could be an option if that’s close to you?

That view really reminds me of Byron Bay in Oz and where you parked up. Used to wake at sunrise, with a coffee watching the surfers and about 9 bottlenose dolphins surfing with them,every morning without fail. bloody lovely....and warm!

Hi Shaun, another really great vlog mate. Now let's add this up, a baby on the way, a new bobble hat to buy and problems with the van. Are you sure you can afford to carry on mate, after all times are hard in the UK. and even more so in darkest Kernow. 🤣🤣 Seriously though mate, hope you get everything sorted with the van and hope Kate is keeping well?

For the gopro you could try holding the power button for about 10 seconds, most devices with built in batteries, perform a forced restart this way.

Hope the van repair isn’t too expensive and that you’re back on the road! Also hope there’s an easy (but certainly not clear) way to reset the camera! 2 instead of 3 for the electric blanket next time! Hope you have a good week:-)

Love your stories. Hope the van gets out of hospital soon! Can I ask your advice on a wet suit/dry suit to get into the sea - I'm very skinny but have been advised to take cold water therapy..... I have my limits! Last time I swam in the Irish sea, my body went into some sort of shock.
@LoveSundays Жыл бұрын
I made a video about the different wetsuits I use for different activities I’ll list it below 👇. My biggest advise to you would be make sure you go to a shop and try them on. Don’t order them online unless you know a brand that fits you well. best wetsuits for uk sea swimming kzfaq.info/get/bejne/btKFoduamM7JcYU.html

As a cold water swimmer ..I’m in the outer Hebrides… do t start in the winter … acclimatise your body from when the sea gets warm in may and then just keep going through the year ..your body shouldn’t go into shock if you slowly get it used to it and being cold

@@sunshining_inthe_hebrides4030 Hi, thanks for the reply. The most alarming thing was peeing without any control for what seemed like 10 minutes! Sorry to be graphic. I'll take that advice re starting in the Spring.... I have heard that it is great for the spirit, and I'm already very outdoorsy. Thanks again.

@@LoveSundays Will follow that up, thanks so much. Best from Waterford, Ireland. I camped in my old Landcruiser several times in the West here, just slinging a camp stove out on the tailgate, and using a mattress etc., so really interested to see your set up.

Invest in a diesel heater matey. They come with a separate fuel tank. But you can plum into the vans main tank easily. They are really good on diesel and keep the whole van at a good temp
