Not sure if your front seat are the same as my partner, but with the headrests removed the back of the seats fold all the way forward, I do this then move them forward, gives me space to store things without reaching over the seat. Also love the name, my old T4 was called Beryl Peril!!

Can one spray paint the blind's outside facing black?? I want to stealth camp to save on Camping site fees. I feel if someone walks past the vehicle and notice the silvery grey window covers it may look obvious someone is inside.

Great video. Looks like a really nice campsite, ideal for a first camp. I would recommend using gas and electric, getting a jetboil type stove for drinks, and boil in the bag meals. A single ring induction hob that will run off your power supply. Are you camping in Guernsey or staying in a hotel.

We are stopping in a hotel for Guernsey, then back for another camp in the van the following week! Cant wait! We are considering taking the van to the Channel Islands next year.

Yay! I’ve been waiting to see this first trip, and you didn’t disappoint with your excitement. The campsite looks really nice to me, plenty of space. I think I’d rather that, than being lined up in rows, but I’ve never done it. Yes, where else would one see down a composter loo? ;-) 😝 Is that Mobicool fridge any good? I’m really scared of using those gas cylinders. I think I heard that each brand of gas canister/hob has different connectors. I wonder if that’s why yours snapped? I wonder if it’s possible to get portable camping induction hobs? Or is that cheating? I dunno 🤷 I’m picking up lots of tips, like doing the blinds first and putting the keys & cables up in those bags in the ceiling for easy access. Could you put self-adhesive Velcro tape strips on your foam seats, to stop them sliding about? I’m collecting my 2nd hand Tepee on Thursday. Yours looks really cute in white, mine’s grey. I’m excited but really scared too!! Have fun in Guernsey and I shall look forward to seeing the evolution of your camping 👍
@ourmicroadventuresАй бұрын
The cooler is actually really good, it’s not that big but I’d definitely recommend for short overnight trips. We are planning to move electric now as I’m the same I don’t really like the gas bottle if I’m honest. Good luck with the new Teepee we love ours! Already thinking of upgrades for the next trip

Glad you had such a good maiden voyage 😁 Pity about the stove tho 😖 We've just had our 2nd night out, in our Berlingo. Had a Partner like yours, until the cam belt went, but that's another story 😂 Site looks good. Get into the middle of nowhere, that'll hone your skills, very quickly 😉 Have you considered an awning? Invaluable for cooking and chilling if it does rain. Ours has roof bars, so I cobbled together a side & a back one, for over the tailgate, out of a few groundsheets at minimal cost. A few tentpoles, guy ropes, pegs & some bungees..... Bingo. Or you can buy tailor made ones...... A roof box is also a worthwhile investment 👌 keeps the cab clear of clutter. Great vid, keep em coming 🥳

Hey, don't look for secluded spots on a camp ground, get in near other campers, get talking, make accquaintencies and you'll pick up so much info and tips as a Newbie, from others, genuinely wanting to help, as well as the chance of forming friendships that will often last for yonks. Sometimes even meeting some of them quite by chance when abroard! The camping community is a big and close knit family, and always there for the likeminded. Happy days are ahead my friend, I wish you the best of luck, have fun.
