Nightmare - Major Electrical Fault (Vanlife UK). Join me as I navigate through the stunning landscapes of the Lake District, braving heavy rain and mystical clouds while exploring the majestic mountains.
In this captivating adventure, I'll take you through the challenges I faced when my rear light cluster suddenly stopped working. From troubleshooting the issue to finding a solution, you'll witness the highs and lows of this unexpected journey. Get ready to dive into the world of campervan repairs and witness the beauty of the Lake District like never before!
Travelling through the Lake District in my campervan was an experience like no other. As I ventured across the mountains, the heavy rain added an extra layer of excitement to the trip.

ABOUT
"Travel with Gary and Amika"
Welcome to the Official Travel with Gary and Amika KZfaq Channel, a father daughter combo capturing campervan style travel vlogs in and around the mountains, beaches, campsites and wild camping fully off grid.
Gary is dedicated to his daughters future and enjoys documenting her passion for life, which is apparent through Amikas constant giggling and smiles. He is well travelled having visited some 39 countries, however this quickly became difficult to continue when Amika was born. With his love for travel he wasnt going to let being a single father tie him down. When Amika was just 5 they jumped on a plane and backpacked around Romania and have since visited France and Spain twice exploring the Pyrenees mountain range.
In January 2022 Gary bought on old builders van and converted into a fully off grid tiny home on wheels with the aim of getting out and about as much as possible to see more of the world. KZfaq seemed the perfect way to documented these travels and to take a step into the world of becoming a digital nomad.
Gary and Amika both thank you for being here and hope that through their videos they can bring you a sense of adventure, a lots of laughter and with a clear message that you should never grow up and never take life too seriously!

Hi Gary we also have a high roof crafter. We fitted a flyscreen a couple of years ago. Basically you remove the door seal and then trap the material behind it as you re-fit it. Takes two people to do it as you need to hold the ensign tight. We fitted two vertical zipped openings so we can roll it up when it’s not being used in the winter which you can’t really do with the magnetic ones. Hope this helps Baz

I was delivering a new van we had just finished to a customer and noticed the rear lights were all over the place. Eventually, we found the problem. The guy who worked for me had drilled through the loom when finishing the inside trim of the grp roof we had fitted. Nightmare, and so embarrassing.

Glad it was an easy fix for you! Spent the last three days two nights wild vanning it around the Western areas, got some stunning pics and the kids loved it….. Sadly as I pulled on the drive I had a puncture but fortunately it was as I was home! Have you thought about pulling off that door seal and just pushing it back on over the fly screen? Might work
