Saw a lot of stealth campers on that industrial estate last summer, only because I had to go Screwfix for ladders to repair a leaking roof strap on our caravan😢, Newquay looks far better to get around in the winter, brilliant vlog, glad to see you both back creating again 👍

You have been an inspiration to me and have made my caravanning life so much easier, I’ve just installed a kitchen which I got out of the rubbish dump. I don’t mind emptying my loo as I say to myself I’m finally only cleaning up my own mess . Your tips on mental health are soooo helpful too. Thank you so much for your honesty and the best of luck in your new adventure. Xxxxx

Me and my boyfriend live in a caravan park same as you ours is a 2 bed static caravan and the condensation issue is driving me insane 😭 I've bought a dehumidifier, I've put condensation strips on the windows, damp traps, I open our windows and doors every day and there's still fkn condensation on the window in the front room where our bed is and on the side door and the front door not sure what to do as I'm cleaning black spores off the glass door frames and stuff, we've got a cat and we can't leave windows open except for the kitchen window which leads into an outdoor catio we've made for him so I feel like there's no air circulation no matter what. I dry some of my boyfriend's tshirts on our oil radiator even though its not wise but leaving them outdoors to dry is just not doable cos they take ages to dry sometimes it could be where its cold indoors as well idk

Hi, if you have single glazed windows, I am afraid there is no escape from it. Window vacuum cleaner may be a solution to clear your windows in the morning. The beauty of it is that water collects in a container, which you can empty. Much better than wiping windows with cloths... which then need to be dried in the van... and guess what! Release all this water back into the air. Roll on spring! Good luck and dont let it break your spirit. Living in a caravan in winter is not easy and many people would not manage! You re doing great.

We lived in our campingcar for 5 years and coped very well. You have the right attitude to this life and like you we managed with much less stuff and utililised the space available. All public facilities on sites were welcome and used by us as often as possible. Your video is excellent because it doesnt glamorise the life whilst showing the best sides of such living; for us that meant moving from place to beautiful place - occasionally not so beautiful but practical - and experiencing new horizons, making new friends and generally being free. Well done.

I use a dessicant dehumidifier, it’s fantastic. Even puts out some heat, keeps everything dry, I can dry my clothes by putting them and it in the shower cubicle. Dry air is much easier to heat up, so I’m in my caravan in October, with no heat on, just the dehumidifier running on its lowest setting. Just 8p an hour to run on that setting, and I don’t need it on all the time. I would not want to stay in a caravan without it.

I always give ours a deep clean after a weeks use, first off course I empty it then give it a good flush out then put in a cup full of soda Chrystals along with a clothes washing tab in then warm water I then shake it about , then leave for 24 hours shaking in the mean time after 24 hours I empty it I then remove the top and give it a good clean inside using a. Small brush once that’s done put it all back together spraying a liberal amount of silicone spray on the moving parts .Once done looks like brand new!
