Hi👋🏼 Yes the awning is designed to be free standing so that you can drive away in your van and leave the awning in situ. Weirdly though, some campsites have rules stating that drive away awnings must stay connected to your van at all times. 🤷🏻‍♀️ It’s worth double checking when you book campsites that they don’t have a rule like this. If they don’t, you should be ok to leave the awning disconnected from the van👍🏻

Glad you found the video useful 🙂 Thanks for watching 👍🏻

Hi, congratulations on your new transporter! Exciting times ahead! We cook both outdoors and indoors to be honest. It depends what we’re cooking. If it’s something that we think will stink the van out, we’ll cook outside. If it’s something like heating a couple of crumpets, we’ll cook inside. Also depends a bit on the weather too 😂 We love our wind out awning. It’s great for giving a bit of shelter to cook under and a dry area to stand when you get in and out of the van. For cooking equipment, we don’t think you can go far wrong with Cadac products. Thanks for watching! 👍🏻

Glad you find the vlogs useful 🍻😆 Thanks for watching! 👍🏻

I think we might have got mixed up with aberaeron 😂

Ooh thanks for the tip! Do you have a thermacell? Do you find it works well?

Yes it’s not too far for you to travel. Hope you enjoy it when you go. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

That’s such a nice comment! Thank you so much for watching and commenting! We hope you have the best time in Bakewell 😊

You are most welcome 😊 Thanks for watching 👍🏻

I would say it is a little bit tight in places on the approach. Not a problem for us in our little van, but could possibly be tight for an 8ft wide caravan. If you think you can make it work though, it’s definitely worth a visit. Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻

Yes unfortunately it’s the nature of the beast especially when you’ve got a pop top like ours. We could have had a pop top with the frolli springs, but as we’re not the smallest people, we went for the one which would tolerate more weight. As it was a slimline pop top, the frolli springs weren’t an option. We got a panda mattress topper in the end and the comfort levels are a lot better now😊 Thanks for watching 👍🏻

We really enjoyed our stay on the campsite 👍🏻

We would definitely recommend the site, it’s a good one 👍🏻

Sorry for making you hungry 😂 We love making pizza! 🍕 Thanks so much for watching 👍🏻

Thanks for watching! 👍🏻

The firepit is called a WildGrill. It dismantles and packs down flat so it’s ideal for our small van. It also has bottle openers on it which we think is a cool feature. Having lived with it for a while though, we have found that it is a bit of a faff to put together once it’s been used a few times. The heat has warped the metal so it doesn’t go together as easily as it once did. It also spits ash and embers onto the grass so rich had to make a metal tray for it to sit on. Just thought we’d tell you the good and bad points before you buy one 👍🏻

@VanVibesandSibes thanks very much for the info much appreciated great camp site I'm going to book thanks again 😀

Yes, all the people in tents had parked their cars next to the pitch 👍🏻

@@VanVibesandSibes thanks for sharing 👍

Thanks for coming, we had a good night 😊🍻

We hope you find the van you are looking for, and that you have the best time travelling in it when you do :) Thanks for watching 👍🏻

I’m not sure on this. I’ve recently been looking at the reusable pods but not tried one. I would think if they work in a Nespresso machine then they would work fine in the Nano, I am not sure though. Sorry I can’t be more help.

Thank you 😊 We agreed pretty quickly that we just wanted to be ourselves and keep the vlogs as natural as possible. It’s lovely that you’ve picked up on that. We hope you have the best time when you go back to the site! We really enjoyed it there and it’s great for exploring Whitby. Thanks for watching and thanks for the lovely comment as well👍🏻

We really enjoyed it. It was definitely top quality fish and chips 👍🏻

They did have some lovely stuff in Bothams! It was also ridiculously reasonably priced for good quality food as well. Can’t beat fish and chips by the seaside can you! Thanks for your continued support 😊👍🏻

Haha they loved having a dig around looking for fossils 😂 Bothams is great, excellent quality food at a reasonable price. Thanks for your continued support 😊👍🏻

Quick question what mikes do you both use as the sound is really clear on your videos

Thank you so much, that’s a lovely comment! We said from the start that we just wanted to be ourselves on the videos 😊 We will have to check out your Whitby vlog as we didn’t get chance to visit humble pie and mash. We use DJI wireless mics. It’s great to hear that you think the sound quality is good 👍🏻 Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻

Greetings!👋🏼 Thank you for watching! 😊👍🏻

Hiya, we got them from Amazon, link below. www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B098JB9RRK?ref=cm_sw_r_cso_wa_apin_dp_Z78DH78BAWASQ7D88GC5_1&ref_=cm_sw_r_cso_wa_apin_dp_Z78DH78BAWASQ7D88GC5_1&starsLeft=1&skipTwisterOG=1

@@VanVibesandSibes brilliant thanks for the speedy reply.

Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed the video. We will bear that in mind for future reviews of products.

A lovely memory Andy, thanks for sharing. It was so freaking windy! 😂

Hello and welcome! 👋🏼 Thank you, we’re glad to hear you enjoyed the video😊 Yes you definitely need to go to Whitby in your van! It’s such a great place isn’t it! Aww thank you, we love them to bits, apart from the fact that their hair gets everywhere! 😂 Thanks so much for watching and subscribing, we really appreciate it 😊

Hi 👋🏼Thank you, so glad to hear you enjoyed the video😊 Sandfield is a lovely site. We hope you have the best time in October! Thanks for watching👍🏻

We live in West Leicestershire, about half an hour drive away from the centre of Leicester. Tigers are a great club! 🏉🐅 We’re more in to the football though ⚽️🦊😊

@@VanVibesandSibesLiverpool for me. And my home town of Scunny. What sort of work do you do?

Hi David, It’s good to know they’ve never found a problem with your van. It can be unsettling when you see the light on the dash though can’t it. Thanks for sharing your experiences👍🏻

Hello and welcome 🤗 Whitby is beautiful isn’t it! Thanks so much for watching and subscribing. We really appreciate it 👍🏻

We thought it was a great site👍🏻They were really struggling with the weather when we were there though. The ground was so boggy and they were having to site caravans for people to try and protect the ground. It’s really handy with the bus stop right outside. A great base to explore Whitby. Thanks for watching 😊

@@VanVibesandSibes Your very welcome subscribed and liked looking forward to your next vlog

Thank you for liking and subscribing, we really appreciate the support👍🏻

Thank you 😊 That’s a great tip. We hadn’t even thought about using gloves! Thanks for watching 👍🏻

Hi, thanks for the tip. I will make sure I do that in the future. I Really like the Nano so definitely want to look after it.

Thanks for the tip! That’s a really good idea! Normally the lack of hot water doesn’t bother us, but when your hands have lamb grease on them, some hot water really helps to shift it 😂 Thanks so much for watching again 👍🏻

Thanks for watching :) 👍🏻

The boys love that off lead field! Thank you, it was a bit unsettling when we first saw the light on the dash, but at least it’s sorted now👍🏻

New van, how exciting! Yes we are still using the panda topper. It definitely made a difference to our comfort in the poptop. It can be hard to know what to do for sleeping arrangements can’t it. Everyone has different comfort needs so it’s difficult to advise others what they should do. Glad to hear you are enjoying the content. Thanks for watching and commenting 👍🏻

All we can say is that it survived a ridiculously windy time at Sango Sands campsite up in the Highlands🤣 It was that bad we had honestly made our peace with the fact that it would be ruined, but it survived!! We could hear it being battered all night on the worst night and it seemed to hold up pretty well in the end!

@@VanVibesandSibes Many thanks - it does seem to be the best built one I've come across except the Joolca one which is properly over-engineered. There is a Quest collapsible one too.

@@VanVibesandSibes I decided to go for the Quest branded one. Feels solid. Yet to test it for real yet.

@@Trampilot good stuff 👍🏻 Hope it works well for you 😊

It’s actually north of Manchester closer to Chorley. It’s called Rivington Brewing Co Caravan Park. We’ve never been there so looking forward to seeing what it’s like 👍🏻

@@VanVibesandSibes thank you I will have a look at it

Hi Andy, hope you’re good 😊 No way, have you sold your camper?? 🙁 To be honest Rich told them not to wash it on the first day they had it, but he forgot to say anything when he took it back and they washed it anyway 🤦🏻‍♀️ Luckily it seems like they looked after it so we got away with that one 😂 The boys love the off lead field! Rich is in the process of editing the Whitby stuff so shouldn’t be too long 👍🏻

@@VanVibesandSibes Waiting for a Bailey Endevour B62 this month 🤞 wanted bigger & a loo to be more self sufficient (Cl’s etc) We had a guest house in Whitby so are v familiar 🤦🏻‍♂

@@andyblake1849 Wow this sounds very exciting! I feel like we saw the Bailey Endeavour at the NEC. It’s based on a Transit isn’t it? Very nice van if I remember rightly. Fingers crossed it turns up soon so you can get out and about in it 🤞🏻

Watch this space. 😊

We’re definitely looking forward to the festival 👍🏻

It does seem to be a thing with these more modern diesels doesn’t it. Luckily in our case it was just a sensor and was covered by the warranty. Yeah just do it you won’t regret it🚐😂 Aww the boys love to have a wander off lead, but Sabre in particular has a very high prey drive, and if he was to see a squirrel or similar small furry, he would be gone. These secure off lead fields are ideal for us and this one is huge so they can have a great time exploring on their own 😊

Nice! You’ll have to say hello if you see us at the festival 😊 Yes that’s not too far from us, we know Hinckley pretty well👍🏻

Thanks guys! Really appreciate the support.😊 We’re definitely going to keep making videos👍🏻
