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...

Camper Van Solar Panel
When we bought our Campervan, I was keen that (should it be necessary, or desirable) that we could live 'off-grid' for a few days at least. So we had a solar panel fitted. Just a few weeks after taking delivery, the main van battery (as opposed to the rear...
Mice in the Van
Yes, we've been invaded. By mice. It's about 10.30pm on New Year's Eve. In Pembrokeshire, Wales. On a campsite. We've just woken up (after inadvertently falling asleep waiting for New Year's Eve to happen) and I realised that we'd forgotten to feed the dog. So I...
Wedding Day in the Camper Van
Not our wedding, of course (that was 17 years ago - wow, it's all gone by fast!). This was second-time-arounders Andy and Melisa.The wedding took place in a church at lunchtime. We went to that in our car and then went home. In the evening we got changed again and...
Latest Lessons Learnt
New learning... 1.) Check the battery charge regularly (and charge up if necessary). We recently tried to set out on a trip and found that the battery was flat. As it turned out, it was terminal and we had to have a new battery. Also bought a mains adapter (Hook Up...
