Water Leak
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...
Planning for Norway
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 dog....
CamperWags get ready to resume travelling…
Today Boris will probably announce that instead of everything re-opening on June 21st as planned, that there is going to be a further extension. I imagine it will be another 4 weeks. I think most people are getting really fed up with their lives being restricted but...
CamperWags Go Sailing
This month we were lucky enough to go sailing in the Greek Islands. we think of it a bit like camping on the water. There are lots of similarities too campervanning. The accommodation is quite small, so you have to travel light. The journey is...
Campervan MOT
It's coming up to a year since we took delivery of our van. Because it is over 3 years old, we have to get it MOT'd every year. We rang our usual guy and asked him to arrange the MOT test. He rang back a while later and asked how long the van was. I told him it was 6...

Other things we've bought recently... - Drip mat (for putting on the glass surfaces so we can put the wet washing up, or other things, on the glass without scratching it). - A spare carpet. Managed to get this by searching for Autocruise Accent on the Google and...
Campervan Accessories
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'd...
Camping Cinema
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...
Lockdown Learning
It's been 4 weeks so far, and is likely to be a few more before we can travel again. Who knows? We've learnt a few things though.. 1.) We are so lucky to live in rural Worcestershire, and that we have a good-sized house and garden. It's meant that we all have space to...
