Light commercials such as this are restricted to 50mph single carriageways, 60mph dual carriageways, 70mph motorways. If the road signs are green it’s a dual carriageway, motorways have blue signs.

No more videos?

Can you get a swivel plate for the twin passenger seat?

Morning Congratulations and excellent videos. We are looking to convert a Citreon Dispatch. I wondered what length yours is? We are looking at the MWB 4.9m long. Thanks Paul

Good to see ya both again. What a beautiful trip that was then, and all the good stuff in life to go with it..., hot tubs, purring strays, quirky cork pullers, and even an engagement Ring!! Congrats to ya both Heather and Ryan, enjoy ya future life together and stay safe. greets from Switzerland, Steve.

Welcome to NI and congratulations 🎉 I never even knew they'd put an aqua park on the reservoir! I used to have the newsagents up at the roundabout. Have great time. You guys come here and I'm just sitting organising pre Christmas trip to Edinburgh 😁 used to get over most years, not been over since 2019 with all the Covid carry on. Tayto crisps are the best there is🏆 their chocolate is pure mingin though 🤮 so it is. 🤷

Looks like a fabulous trip and obviously a very memorable one💍💕 congratulations🎊

Great video as always guys, congratulations!

Hi guys, not checked on your adventures for a while, my dispatch camper build is still coming along (slowly) hope all is well in your world, see you on the road 🤗

Great video looks such a lovely place very quiet and peaceful this is what I amookjng forward to once my van is completed

Could put a pull out table under bed on runners in spare space

Think u guys are brill love watching u both starting my own connect build soon and you making me so excited

Looks fabulous 😀seeing Scotland at its best. Glad the weather was good ☀️

Just starting my dispatch camper build and watching doug take shape has been very inspirational and looks like the hard works payed off! Enjoy your adventures 😁

Hi once again, always good to see Doug and his mates out and about. Greets from 🇨🇭, Steve.

Doing a very similar thing, although opposite side. Same van too. How did you secure it?

I've got a dispatch & thought my heater was bust until one day it randomly came on!, we found out the plug on the loom of wires is dodgy on them, I should get another plug really but a bungee cord attached to the wires and pulled taught onto the dashboard does the trick!! Ps the wire is under the footspace on the passenger side....good luck!

Hi I’ve been watching your channel for a while now glad your out and about you two made me get a can and do the same best thing I’ve done in ages thanks for inspiration happy camping and warm camping lol 😂

NOOOOOO!!!! That is dangerous having the heat outlet up a height like that. You need to have it coming out low such as under the bed and allow the heat rise. Having the outlet up in the air like that will collect moisture and damp which will trickle down to the unit and cause a build up of carbon dioxide. That electric tape can catch fire! Also, with that heater. They are not the safest units. You would have been better getting a stand alone unit and seperate tank but dont use the fuel lines that comes with the heater as they burst easy as its brittle rubber. Replace it for a purpose made fuel hose either plastic or rubber coated like you get built into the engine. Check your unit for fuel leaks. Also, I hope you have used a gasket sealer paste on the exhaust so no fumes collect inside the van. Now, for the heater slider on your van. There is a couple of snap on connection blocks behind the glove box and fuse panel. Get on the floor and look up behind. These work loose over time on these mk1. Slide the heater onto full speed and with the ignition on and check these connections. Also look up behind the dash to the back of the controls and the gear stick and give them wires a shake. But it is really important that you move the heat outlet hose of the diesel heater lower to the ground so no moisture can run down into the heater and cause carbon monoxide. Hence on caravans, trucks, motorhomes and boats all have them where the heat comes out as close to the floor as possible.

Lucky you, you have at least got somewhere to mount the heater. Before I got that far, the Citroen blew a hole in the sump and lost all it's oil on the road. Total wreck. Now looking for a new van, but all the good ones have been snapped up for builds during the last couple C years. All I can say about your heater is, you need to turn it up high on a regular basis, otherwise you'll have problems thru it sooting up if only used on the low setting. Love your glasses Heather, they suit your face to a T. Thx 4 the update. Many happy warm nights, Steve.

Oh... look who's back 🙂 Hello, good to see ya both again. Greetings to my favorite Scottish channel, from Switzerland, Steve. Now i'll have a look and listen to your news and get back to you after.

Why no uploads? Keep 'em coming.

Hello have you got any links for the materials you’ve used

As a fellow Scot that lives in Midlothian I am very impressed with what you have achieved with Doug I have the same van! Would love to convert but have 2 kids now, my wife and myself used to do those trips before the kids arrived and watching your video series has brought bk some very good memories,, running sheallin , camping in Glen affric ,you should take a trip to torridon midge City but we'll worth it, and a great camp site for you that keeps you close to aviemore is alive estate, its a bit cheaper than the Glen because your 5 miles down the Rd!! you can also book quad biking on the estate, or go to aviemore and rent mtbs and hit the forest trails, or get the paddle boards out on 1 of the locks! just a few of my old experiences that we enjoyed but you seem like your having a ball with doug here is to many more trips in him,, all the best for future trips,

Mines a 2002 had it 10 years drives like new with 93000 miles and still working for me painting and decorating.

Superb. That campsite looked fabulous. What was its name please

Wrong silkaflex I think! Has to be the UV resistant all weather one! Unless I misread it. Great job though, videos are cracking well done

Hello guys anything to look out for when buying a dispatch I’m looking at one now

We also remember the snow in May we were camping in Haslingden Lancashire in a awning attached to our van with 3 grand kids , they loved it

What a beautiful location! Well done on that hike too.

4:52 what a beautiful sun set 🔆

Do you still know where you got that simple but genious little shower setup, or even have a link to it? I'm sure other Van builders would be interested as well.

Loving your videos and zest for life 😀

If you never attempt, or try anything in life, then you will grow old fast, then wonder where the time has gone, as you sit there writing out your Will. Had you stayed up there, you might of had a beautiful sunset? Anyway, the positives are, you get your excercise in, put out a plug for Nature Valley and you show those of us who have no knowledge of Scotland, special places to vist before we get round to writing our own Will. Thanks and greets again from 🇨🇭, Steve.

Happy birthday Heather. What, not another Leo I am following....? You two are so naturally shy and a little naive with this YT game but it is really and truely this awkwardness that makes you two so adorable and interesting to watch. Looking forward to more travels with Doug. Stay safe, greets from 🇨🇭, Steve. PS. Hope you don't take this the wrong way, not a single word is meant in a Negative way. You belong to the Best of the Van vloggers I have subbed.

Hope you had a fab birthday Heather! St Abbs looks ace, we must take Betty up there 👍 Doug looks good too ❤ Paul

Looks a nice area for a day out.

What a fab way to spend your birthday, St Abbs looks lovely and that boat trip 😂

Thus’ this journey will continue onforth.

Nice content, just subbed! I recommend promosm to rank your videos.

To be honest I would have just glued the torn bit down.

What a bummer, but well done guys good job done 👍

The more I see of you two, the more i'm getting enchanted with your way of presenting yourselves.... not to mention your Scot accents. Good times are on their way, keep your heads up. Stay safe, greets from 🇨🇭, Steve.
