Thank you and thanks for your comment and support we really appreciate it. It really helps our channel 💯🤜🏻🤛🏻.

Cheers brother 🤙😎

No issues mate as such apart from off grid the heating you have to use on gas which is fine works great but does get through it when it’s cold and being on all night. I’m going to install a diesel heater to use when off grid. Awesome van though mate we love it. Let us know how you get on pal we off around Europe later this year so that will give it a good test. Thanks for your comment and support we really appreciate it and they really help us 💯👊🏻

Terrible weather hay mate ooosh what next door like not stayed there. The food in that pub is unbelievable 💯👌. Thanks for your comment and support we really appreciate it 💯🤜🏻🤛🏻

Yes the weather is so unpredictable atm its rubbish , we are booked for a night out down south at the coast this coming weekend, the forecast did look stunning,, but now it’s looking like another wet weekend 🙄😬 , the next door site is massive very tidy the showers are awesome and very clean , nice views but sadly we didn’t see them till the morning we checked out because of the fog, I personally wouldn’t want to stay there in the high seasons as that would be to busy for us , the reason we mountain bike in the dales is to get out in middle of nowhere and enjoy the peacefulness and of course the views , but generally not a fan of big sites .

Thanks mate I’ll save it now and have a look on Google maps 🤜🏻❤️🤛🏻. Have a good evening 👌

…don’t have an ecoflow, but have done the breakfast burrito using a ridge monkey👍

Definitely Garry special one definitely. Glad you enjoyed it I was gutted about the image quality near the end I used my big camera and left settings on from it being on the gimbal so it made it worse 🤦🏼. School boy error unfortunately so glad it was still ok 👌. Thanks for your comment and support bro it really helps 🤜🏻🤛🏻

I think I will next time, so I don’t go crazy and make them the size of a bag of sugar 🤣🤣🤣 Love the ridge monkey 👌

Jason it’s was amazing spot, we just really enjoyed some us time a chilled out. Yeah the food ended up being a a bit wild 🤪 got carried away with the cooking. They warmed through again for breakfast next morning 🤣👌. Awesome mate you will love the NC500 Scotland is special we love it up there 💯👊🏻 Thanks for your comment and support brother 🤙

@ meant to say I love your new registration plate potentially. Makes sense at the back of the van. We live in Central Scotland and did the NC500 in 2023, that’s what got us into Campervans. Look forward to the next vlog.

Oh wow thanks didn’t know that👌 I got carried with food 🤣 they ended up massive Luan only ate half of it 🤣.

I did 🤣 luan didn’t eat half of it got a bit carried away with the cooking 🤣👊🏻

@@UrbanMonkeyAdventures UMA 554 is for sale on reg transfers 👌

It is so special unbelievable scenery. We love being up there in winter to experience parts like this with nobody else around. Thanks so much for your comment and support 🤙❤️

@@UrbanMonkeyAdventures enjoying your vlogs while we wait for our ex68 to be deliveries in Mar/Apr

It’s good mate to be honest I’m a big bloke and can shower easily in it. It’s a nice touch having a shower 💯👌after our T5. Glad you liked the vlog I was gutted about the image quality near the end 🤦🏼 When I took my big camera off the gimbal I didn’t turn on the steady feature so it was really shaky 🤦🏼. We loved it there it was awesome 💯👊🏻.

What TV do you have and also the antenna

Hi Eugene, sorry for the late reply. It’s just a blanket as the internal blind now leaves a small gap at the top due to our new rear camera mirror. Because we didn’t have the external cover on we just put a throw up trapped it in the sun-visors. Hope this helps mate.

Thanks, great idea 😮​@@UrbanMonkeyAdventures

Awesome never heard that word before thanks 👊🏻❤️

Yes mate something like this would be perfect hay 👌 Cheers

It was the layout for us mate we wanted the garage at the rear, for our toys when we are out with our boat or mountain biking ect. I can add better bells and whistles like I have already better stereo speakers and sub, massive eco flow system to power off grid and still loads to go in yet like that. I’m adding better extras than they put in this van will be amazing and perfect for us brother star-link internet front winch loads to come yet. 💯🤜🏻🤛🏻 It’s got to be the van for you everyone is different and has different needs and requirements. 🤜🏻🤛🏻

@ I get what you mean about the layout which suits you. The configuration on the 68 is very popular indeed I much prefer camper construction to coachbuilds as being rigid and metal you dont get the damp issues.

Yes mate definitely they don’t last as long do they seals go then get damp.

Cheers pal I think I’m getting one framed for my office wall. Yeah awesome spot definitely recommend 💯🤜🏻🤛🏻

Cheers brother we love it up there when we got T Dales for Nee Year wow it was biblical weather oosh 🤦🏼🤣 🤜🏻🤛🏻

💡😀 guess what I’m getting tomorrow on site 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Cheers brother 🙌💯🔥🔥🤜🏻🤛🏻

Wait for the next one dude when you see where we wake up 💯🔥🤙😎

@UrbanMonkeyAdventures You know me m8 always waiting lol 😆 🤜🤛

🤣 Sod that I’ll stick to my building sites cheers 💯🤙🤣 I enjoy the vlogs but I couldn’t do weddings oosh. The view we wake up to in the next one 🙌🔥🔥🔥🔥

@ just booked many sites on the NC500 for May. Did the trip in 2023. It’s a fab area. Look forward to the view you mention.

@@jasonnicol8302 Yeah we love it up there just so peaceful truly is a magical place 💯❤️

@ just need a lottery win and then just travel. Durness beach, Sango sands, Clachtoll beach just a few places to mention.

Thanks mate 🤜🏻❤️🤛🏻

Cheers brother ill definitely check that out yeah it’s awesome we love it 💯🤜🏻🤛🏻 Perfect for us 🤙😎

Watering can is a great idea pal 💯👌 just didn’t think about it then I was like ohhh 😦 what am I going to do here 🤣🤦🏼

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and highlighting the rules under the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003. While we understand and respect the importance of these regulations, we believe responsible vanlifers like ourselves can coexist harmoniously with the environment. When we park in these areas during the winter months, we ensure we leave no trace and often go a step further by litter-picking to improve the surroundings. We always prioritise respect for the land, local communities, and wildlife. Our intention is never to harm or cause disruption but to enjoy and appreciate the stunning scenery responsibly. We value this discussion and will continue to be mindful of our impact while encouraging others to do the same. Thank you again for raising this important point!

@@UrbanMonkeyAdventures Thank you for your considered reply. It's the term "wild camping" which is misleading & the sheer number of folk who think this is okay. It's the continued & constant use of such places which leads to cumulative environmental impact. They are not caravan sites but are being treated as such. Unfortunately many are not as responsible as yourselves.

I’m interested in this as well, looks like a blanket

🤣 Hi Suzy As the internal blind does not fully come to the top now due to the Mio rear camera so we just put a blanket under the sun visors to close the top bit off. We should have just put the Van Life Culture putter blond on but arrive late weather crap so it was a quick easy solution 🤣🤙❤️. Hope that make sense guys 🤜🏻❤️🤛🏻 Thanks so for your comments and support 🤙

Solar panel on roof

I know that I just wondered with having low light and rain thanks

The solar panel isn’t great mate, the bonded ones ain’t the best and it’s not that big 120 watts I think if I remember right. The leisure battery got low once during the trip. Dull crap weather and we had loads on ect. I’m installing a big Eco flow system in the van that’s will plug in and run the van like it was on hook up. Whilst away I rigged it up to the eco flow with a lead through the window brother. I’ve installed an Eco Flow alternator charger which works great keeping them topped up whilst driving to the next location. That charges them upto 800watts and can reverse charge to your main van battery. I’ll do a full vlog on this once I get it sorted. I’m going to install another solar panel a proper one on the roof rack at the rear which will also keep the Eco Flow topped up. Hopefully if I can make it fit with the other stuff. Sorry for the late reply and thanks for your comment. We really appreciate it stay tuned for them vlogs soon 🤜🏻🤛🏻.

Evening brother thanks for your comment please see my reply below 🤜🏻🤛🏻

@ thanks I am thinking of doing something similar I’ve got two battery’s for the time being I am looking into lithium but the standard charger doesn’t charge it fast enough I’ve heard I am looking into it keep the videos coming mate 👍😂

🤜🏻🤛🏻

Pix looked mint 👌awesome blog pal 🤜🏻
