4 years!
It's now 4 years since we bought the camper van. In that time we've been to lots of places in the UK, including Scotland, Wales, London, Brighton, Cornwall, Devon, East Coast, West Coast, South Coast, Scottish Highlands & Islands etc etc. We've also been to France...
More mice in the Campervan
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...
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....

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...
Fitting A Reversing Camera
Having driven our camper van for several months (and about 5,000 miles) now, we felt that it would benefit from having a reversing camera. The vision is generally pretty good using the mirrors, and being able to see a bit through the rear windows - but there is still...
More Camping Accessories
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...
