Bad news. We recently discovered that we had mice in the van again. We keep dried dog food in a plastic container in the compartment over the front seats and found a hole in the side of the container. It was obvious that we had mice again. So we had to install humane...

For the last couple of trips we seem to have had trouble with the water supply. Firstly, the water seemed to be going down more rapidly than we expected and the force of the water coming out of the tap seemed reduced. And then the water stopped completely. On one of...

Our eldest son, his partner and two kids live in Oslo, Norway. We haven’t seen them for a while so we decided to go and see them. We could fly there, but we decided to drive as we think it could be more of an adventure (famous last words!) and we can take the...

When we collected our camper van, we knew we’d need to buy some more bits and pieces to make sure that our camper van life went as smoothly as possible. We managed to get a bit knocked off the price of the van so we used the saved money to buy the extra things...

We’ve found another use for our campervan (while we’re in lockdown). We’re using it to host a cinema screen. It’s our youngest daughter’s 21st birthday soon. She’s in the last few weeks of her Degree in Film. So we thought it might be nice to have a small party and to...
