I laughed at the roll holder and the plastic stopping the pen. You wont do that again 😂😂

Tori your a gem , you have a fantastic personality, i love all you bring to us here ....lee here in the west country ❤xx

You've got your work cut out Tori. You're doing a great job. As others have said in the comments please throw away the wooden spoon and storage boxes. Air flow in key to your damp problem so any bit of ventilation will help. I'm sorry Miss Nancy gets anxious in the van, it must be difficult for you. She looked gorgeous asleep with her dreams. Thank you for the lovely update.

Tori, Thanks for another enjoyable video. You mentioned in a recent video that Miss Nancy had been unwell. I hope she has now fully recovered. I agree with one of the other commentators that if Miss Nancy doesn’t like driving that you should perhaps share it with her.

Great to see the real side of van life and if Nancy doesn't like driving the van then let her be the passenger 😉 simples

Winter in Cornwall is wet! Mould is unavoidable tori. One thing I put on my van is the window rain deflectors. You can then wind both windows down slightly and get some airflow through which defo helps slow down the mould. Lovin the vids x

Clean van ready to go once again 🙏 I noticed Miss Nancy didn’t appear in the video until food arrived ❤😂 She really does look so cute when she’s asleep bless her 💯❤️

Hi Tori and Miss Nancy! Hope all is well. I just subscribed to your channel and enjoyed your personalities. Tori, you are a great storyteller, and Miss Nancy is a start worthy an Oscar. Stay safe, stay healthy, and stay happy! Pops

If you don't use your camper during the winter get some large plastic bowls and fill them with salt. The salt will absorb the damp moist air and prevent mould building up. Alternatiely you can use a dehumidifier if you havea power source.

Thank you Tori that was brilliant,i was shouting at the screen when you were trying to mark where the holes should go but obviously you couldn't hear me 😅 nice to see Miss Nancy giving you support whilst you were spring cleaning the van,hope you got all the jobs done 😊 💕

Dehumidifier. I have an electric one and also tried a usb powered and the granules. The power one works best. They need air flow. You breath the van gets condensation on the windows so the vehicle or house will have damp air and mold

Great honest video, I use salt in my caravan when not there for a wile takes damp out the air, just pour it into a dish works well, more to van life than people thing 👍

Ha just found you great video gorgeous greyhound x

Move to Arizona ! lol 😝 👍⚾️

I remember the bug!

Great video lady looking gorgeous as all ways ha ps time to get a hot tent 😝

Loooooove this I love to watch you tidy 😂

When you paint try using silk paint or kitchen paint it makes cleaning easier and repels mould I've found .

Hi Tori, you are ready for a new adventure, I wish you all the best!

That was funny..you trying to mark the spots for drilling 😁 You are both a couple of sweeties 😊

Great video. 💙💙

Hello guys!

My house is susceptible to mould too. I’m always on the prowl to seek it out, especially in winter. Ventilation is key. Throw windows or vents open & use anti mould spray when tiny, black specs appear. Yep. Take care beautiful. ❤️🙌👍

Leave all the cupboards open when not using van.I took all mine off , not a spec of mould afterwards. You just need constant air circulation in the van.

What an adorable video!!! I love your honesty, it's so refreshing. I would LOVE to see you and Miss Nancy living in a car ❤❤❤

Kudos to you for taking all that damage in your stride without drama . I can’t guarantee it would’ve worked , but a sock full of a good quality cat litter left in your van would probably help as it soaks up the moisture in the air ( yes that is a thing if you look it up 😂 )

Ventilation and insulation help stop condensation that's causing your mould problems. I have the same van as yours but only get condensation in the cab due to the single glazed windows. My cab and living space are separated by a curtain and my roof vent gives permanent ventilation. Rear window is caravan style double glazed with a built in blind. As much as the internal van metal is covered with carpet or insulation and cladding, any warm surface will stop condensation forming. Running a heater and ventilating the van occasionally when it's laid up will help. Great videos 😊

I had a beautiful black lab Luna,she pulled my children in from being knee stuck in the river Orwell silt ,I miss Luna so much,named after a lost baby orca ,love your videos thank you ❤️

Hi there,wild she goes had a berlingo van when she first started so you will be good in the yeti see if you can see how she fitted it out,i think she did some videos of how she fitted it out aswell maybe 2 yrs ago ?

Airflow is the key to a mould free van. There is a little white dehumidifier that holds a blue tablet that captures moisture really well. Cost was about £10 but I had one in my MX-5 over winter. A portable steamer kills the fungus and bacteria in soft furnishings. £15-20. Anti mould bathroom paint works a treat too.

gaff tape is the bomb-diggity. super useful.

Mold, oh my favorite.. We had it in shower room that was ventilated well on ceiling which was just plaster board with emulsion over it and in our van. Easy fix and protection, but not every one likes Bleach... Do not use cheap bleach, we use Domestos, wear gloves, put on with sponge or paint brush NEAT, do not water down. Leave for hour or 90 mins, clean off with sponge and dry with cloth, it removes mold and leave layer of protection that stops mold coming back on regular basis, it works on every surface,. We used pvc cladding in sleeping area of our van when converting, its easy to keep clean and fix on and stays warm... Our main issue was windows steaming up at night , even with vent in roof, but found by wiping shaving foam on windows neat, and wiping off after 39 mins with paper towel until dry, it stops misting up and dampness.. Wikcer baskets, put bleach in spray bottle water down 50% bleach/50% water, mist basket and let dry, wipe off.. Domestos I found became my best friend, you just have to ventilate when doing it and it really works , even in houses.. Cheap bleach does not work. Mold Mildew, being breathed in causes Interstitial lung diseases... Great you have water tablets, bacteria can not be seen, and mold is only seen when it progressed to dangerous levels.. I worked respiratory medicine, so if you use Domestos, make sure you do it with ventilation, , its kills an dprotects, I know its harsh , but beter than any ear nose lung disease that mold and mildew cause.. have a good trip Tori and the four legged flyer

Just spent 10 min trying to find your channel. Love your content. 👍

Looking forward to this year's van and beach adventures. Nancy needs to get back to the beach for some spring fun. My Grey-boy Ribble had a big run on Climping beach this morning, including lots of play with a doberman he met.

Looks.cool im getting my van sorted too for adventures spring soon 🥳🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🥳

🤣🤣🤣 you with that pen and the sticker on the back🤣 hilarious..

I think Cork is a good way to clad your van..mould resistant naturally I believe..keep up the cool videos..Stay Safe..✌️

Really interesting and watchable,🎉🎉xx

Tori, you made me laugh when you tried to mark the screw holes with the tape still on , i was a professional Carpenter for 30 years, and i did the same thing many times in my career 😂😂😂 with the mold also check the pages of you're Books, because I've had it happen to my books! I think you can get pots of crystals that help stop condensation! Talking of Mold Please Please dont use the wooden spoon, just burn it! Ive heard that if you put a small block of Silver in you're water tank it keeps it fresh! As as for Nancy not liking living in the van, you could live in a bin liner and she would would be okay as long as she has You! Because of the Love you Share ❤ All the best too you and Miss Nancy 🎉 Andy x

HI Tori, I have a Yeti, in fact I'm on my second. Wouldn't have anything else. If you have a 4x4 you are made, as you know you can go everywhere and anywhere. I've had wonderful adventures in mine, but I've only slept it at motorway services. That was enough! Don't spoil your enjoyment of a wonderful car - your van probably has 4 times the floor space. Sorry to be neg!

The effectiveness of keeping the cold out for a blind is it's ability to eliminate circulation from the window glass into the interior. Make sure that the material is pulled tight to the sidewalls and the bottom. Then no circulation can take place. Making it tight to the top helps but it is not as critical as the sides and bottom. Just don't allow air circulation from the window surface to the inside to occur. It is not a particularly thick material but it will insulate much better than plain glass but its effectiveness depends on the glass being sealed off.

Dehumidifier..... it's the only way. Find the cheapest to run....and run it through the colder months (you'll need a humidity monitor as well). Keep the humidity below 55 to 60, and you won't have mould again. Yes I know it will cost a small amount to run....but it's the only way. I wish you luck and thank you for your channel.

Leave all cupboard's open and a window slightly open that works in my camper van.

Great video Tori. 5' 10" gosh you and Miss Nancy could do catwalks! It would be interesting to see the conversion of a Yeti. That is if it's possible to sleep in one if your 5' 10" 🤔. Of course the barrier to entry is perhaps less with a vehicle like that then investing in a much larger van. So I imagine people would be interested in a Yeti conversion has it might fuel their enthusiasm and imagination for a weekend getaway vehicle. I imagine you'd get a lot of interest from viewers. In my caravan the is always a battle with mould but the cheapest best option is a good dehumidifier. For a much smaller space such as the van versus buildings a USB powered dehumidifier would definitely work, it would be helpful to get one with her reliable humidity indicator so you can keep an eye on the humidity. Generally speaking below 70% humidity you begin to go into a safer territory. At 60% humidity you're pretty safe from mould. Good luck with your travels.

Best regards for both from Finland!! Br . Greyhound owner😄

Brilliant Tori

Very good are the Chinese at making crap. Best of luck to you and Nancy.

Tor Google.. Bean bag condensation... It works I have 2. And always leave ya windows open a smidge.. 🎉 And buy a super cheap dehumidifier.

Hi, we've had three retired greyhounds and they all loved to travel, in fact they would often jump into the postman or delivery driver vans if we weren't careful. I think they loved their racing and associated getting into a vehicle with going racing. Just a thought, where does Miss Nancy travel in your van? I made a point of ours travelling on the floor or on a large bench seat behind the driver in our camper, that way they are very stable and can find things to brace against when cornering and braking if neccessary. Good luck with your travels and good on you for promoting the adoption of retired greyhounds - they are just the best!

It's very good of you to show the down sides of Van Life. Mould -yuk! But it can happen to the best of us, I think. Also, I think you'd find living in a Yetu a bit too cramped - tho' they are good to drive, You are a little taller than I thought...

It's fun watching your channell...i have that same shirt...lovely and warm..i think maybe where you live is more prone to mould..just the climate! i mean im in scotland and a car doesnt get moldy just by leaving it in the driveway like your ford ka

Happy Friday! I’m doing the same with my van this weekend, getting it ready for as many adventures as possible this year, crossing everything for a good spring and summer! Love Miss Nancys pirate pants! Hope you have a great week together 🐕❤️

I have portable vacuum cleaner envy! Gadget John recently posted a fab "Simple & Effective Campervan Draught Solutions" tips video. I'm planning upon implementing the closed cell self-adhesive rubber strip trick that he uses at the base of his sliding door. I don't think that I could overnight in a car, I only just fit in my bed in my Renault Master van (my bed is in the same position as yours). I think that you could do with installing some of those plastic vent holes into you cupboards to aid airflow. Vinegar (acetic acid) is great against mold, as mold doesn't like acidic environments. I have a deck hatch (like you'd find on a boat) for my skylight, which I leave open about 5-10mm all year around when I'm not in the van, this seems to help with mold issues (so far). I'm looking forward to seeing your adventure!

We get lots of mold in Portugal aswell,i tend to use white vinegar and i put tea tree oil in the vinegar seems to kill the mold for longer,tea tree oil smells fot about 24 hrs though.

At the static caravan which is only 2016 model, we have had 5 to 6 kitchen door cupboards delaminated over the years and after the site reopens for the season and the site only closes for 6 weeks recently now just 4..

Those baskets look like some kind of woven palm leaves or reeds or something, could even be bamboo stem leaves. It also looks like they've absorbed moisture from the air at some point when you were using the van and that's probably what caused them to rot as in colder months that water won't evaporate and just go stagnant.

Tori now mould is cleaned away perhaps you could paint affected area with anti mould paint for the future

Oh no... it makes sense that it would get mouldy, but even so. It's what happens in the south west due to the higher humidity. Dare you check behind the walls ? Perhaps that's the reason vanlifers overwinter in Spain. 14.1V is decent charge for the battery, so it's nice to know it works in winter with the panels not optimised 👍 Miss Nancy needs to associate vans with happy times, so try giving her a food toy like a Kong, stuffed with food when you're driving ? Desensitisation.

Charming video, thanks for sharing. No being rude but the van is the older side and maybe getting some water ingress, probably from the sliding door because the mould was in this area. Maybe use some vasoline on the door seal?. As for car camping I have done it twice. Once at kingly vale and then at Stonehenge. It’s no van but I enjoyed it. I plan to do more this year. It’s great for overnights, but the better thing would be to make van travel less stressful for Miss Nancy. Have you tried CBD oil for dogs?

Tom the Yank here again. I had to look up Ford Ka and Skoda Yeti, the'are not known here. Yeti seems great , however too much of a classic to convert to camper in my humble opinion. In addition if Her Majesty Miss Nancy doesn't like the van....what are the chances she will enjoy the Yeti? Great video, Enjoy and be well.

Hey! Did you see the Ben Fogle show this week? He spent some time with a Vanlife chap.

Hey hope you both are ok .and you are having the questions answered by everyone.on you last upload you ask if it would be a good idea to move in to a car.personly I would say NO.the reason being is space for miss nancy.and the lack of storage it would cost more because.you can use more in the van for the nassesatys of live.there is another good KZfaqr in Cornwall called Grace.she live in the car.but think is a struggle for her.i would love to help he build a more better camper than a car.or if I had my way .see her and you in both your own a more affordable house.thank goodness for the new system coming just around the corner.

God you're absolutely gorgeous!!❤

Hi Tori hope your well. May I ask? How old is the van and has the engine been reliable? I read the other day that Renault Master are one of the only vans that don't rust as they have galvanised chassis apparently. So I might try and get one instead of a Merc or VW maybe. Thanks. X

What are you like , taking the mattress out would of been easier but to be fair you would only realise after watching the video, you know the answer in regards to the yeti = it’s abominable idea = whoops did I inject a smidgen of humour let’s hope not, when you was using a voice to imitate Nancy it came out as southern state of America as if you was driving miss Daisy = really good film in my humble opinion ok leave the humble bit out, oh you made my soul smile when you was marking the holder to do the drilling, that was brilliant , you must never change being you , sorry for long boring message but you know I’m going to say only a little sorry, take care in damp mouldy Cornwall from fresh sunny Devon , getting used to you wearing clothes listening to the content more rather than the views obviously of the scenery I mean , oh just realised I finished awhile back,

Tori i bet uv had thousands of offers of marriage?? Heres 1 more 😊❤

Renting in this country is a joke.

Still looking beautiful ❤

Just watched latest video is there nothing you cannot do great video ❤
