First 48 Hours in Our NEW Campervan (Vanlife UK) 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@2Passports1Dream]

In a couple of weeks we begin our travels around Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿😍. We’re also still looking for a name for the van, and we need your help (it’s a he)👇🏼

[@samorabrian761]

SamorA

[@justjan1]

He should be called dragon

[@cashreliadorgaragedoors1178]

What about Robinson Croeso?

[@wanderingwilcoxs]

Jean-Claude Damme Van or Jean-Claude for short

[@redback462]

So in Thai Barn Rot v Rot Barn = house car v car house. So Rod or Barney

[@pixiepixie8114]

Wales is beautiful

[@koningbolo4700]

10:15 If you can place one on the floor try to find one of those water catchment trays for washing machines and build a ply box around it. It makes for a wonderful seating shower tray if you can get someone to bend you a curtain rail to match the square 70x70cm tray. two shower curtains will provide enough protection against a flooded interior... We use one for a couple of months now, a bucket and a modified bottle with lots of holes is our warm water supply...

[@kellyraeparker9172]

I loved your last answer Ben, the inner work is so important. I’ve been blessed to have had a dark night of the soul. Questioned everything and am now rebuilding my life from the inside out. I probably don’t look as successful to joe bloggs but I don’t care because I feel more aligned and that makes everything feel so much more full ❤

[@hammockinparadise]

It looks like a gorgeous area! What a great first park up! Congratulations on your new vanlife home. 🚐

22:26 Ironically with your coolant adventure today you stumbled upon a way to make nice an warm water in the van using a heat exchanger plumbed into the coolant system of the engine... works great...great for those bucket and cup showers...

Happy Thursday. *Your van is epic.* Spot on parking. Gorgeous views. So excited for you both. The beach. Wow. Gorgeous. First meal. Love it. The lights above your eating area are so cute. Perfect. Great place to park with the sound of the water. The rainbow. Wow. What a view to wake up to rain or shine. Learning your new home. Thank you for sharing the realities. Loving these videos. Thank you for sharing. Happy Thursday. Wherever you are. Living the dream. Being relaxed. The drone footage is so beautiful. Cold showers will keep you looking youthful. Van life. Hope you get whatever sorted

23:41 I assume you guys have some sort of a toilet thing in the van...either a porta potty (if you absolutely must) or better: a composting toilet (DIY ofcourse) which is great from a where to put the waste water perspective and easy to clean and empty...

Always enjoy your videos regardless of what you do/where you go! You guys are entertaining and the vids well edited. It'd be nice if you did a Q&A at some point for us to learn a lil bit more about your thought process behind the decision to slow down with your travels and start this van life! 😉 P.S. I kinda miss your hotel series in Thailand, which I recently noticed is not visible any longer

[@raymonde4272]

Pleased to see it was an easy fix for the warning light. Hopefully the electric power is fixable too. I bet that cold shower was 'invigorating'.

Great park up in Porthmadog. It's beautiful there. Just one thing - it's not the ocean. It's on the Glaslyn Estuary which is an inlet off the Irish Sea. Oceans are the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian and Arctic. I know it's picky but I just think facts should be correct. Enjoy the rest of your travels, you're going to have a great time.

[@2Passports1Dream]

Ah yes that makes sense! Thanks for the clarification 🤗🤗

[@user-kev-k5v]

Well to say this was your first time in your own van, I think you both did quite well, Wales is very beautiful, from what I can see, but I prefer showering in my home. If I were younger and healthy then I would love to travel to, so take care both of you safety first 👍

[@2Passports1Dream]

Thank you very much!

[@SaigonEye]

I've got you two choices that fit: 1. Edmond Dantes (or Dantes), the fiction hero of The Count Of Monte Christo that against all odds to achieve the best outcomes (like your van and u guys). 2. Wilson - other fiction character in the Cast Away movie, was a vital friend of the character acted by the legendary Tom Hank. Also very courage to conquer all the challenges to beat it till the end. From Vietnam with loves.

If your thinking of going to cornwall can I suggest hendra holiday park in Newquay really good site with excellent clean showers always hot water and clean toilets and electric hook up for the van

[@2Passports1Dream]

Sounds lovely!! We will definitely be exploring England as well 🥰🤗 Love the Cornwall and Devon area!

[@TheDonlum]

​​@@2Passports1DreamAs a local I'd suggest missing Newquay. Nice beaches and good surf but way to busy and the high street is full of mainly touristy shops. Grab yourself a paddle board or kayak and explore both coasts and the rivers at helford and falmouth

[@idaobergs]

I'm not sure if this works for all car models but I have a Peugeot Boxer and there is an app called "My Peugeot" where I can see what all the warning symbols mean. It's been super helpful for me since I, like you Adriana, am not that into cars. ♥ Lovely video!

Loved your video! It is nice how you are so honest about the good and not-so-good things of van life. How come you are not using your bathroom inside the van? Waiting for the 2nd battery?

[@2Passports1Dream]

Hehe thank you!! The second battery doesn’t really affect the bathroom - we just don’t want to use it unless it’s more of an emergency, although I’m sure we will change our minds on that soon 😅

Beautiful campsites but in all the videos I watch from people traveling around Europe no one ever mentions prices, I think it would be great to know how much a campsite is to help our planning. I plan to spend a while traveling through the UK but have no idea of campsite prices. Keep an eye on the radiator fluid, it means it's losing water, either leaking or (I hope not) through the engine which will mean a costly repair.

[@2Passports1Dream]

Hello! Ah yes good point! The camp grounds that we’ve stayed in so far average at around 35£ per night, for a hard pitch with electric hook up! For two people. I think sometimes you pay less if you’re solo (and also additional costs for dogs!) Hope that helps!!

[@FukeungChan-cq5zd]

You could get a portable shower, one with a bucket and a hose and handpump. Cheap as dirt. /Catta

Hello! We were also surprised that it wasn’t on any apps! Dylan’s local knowledge helped us hehe! We didn’t have any issues, no one seemed frustrated with us there 🤗 and the people that passed were very polite. There were a couple of other vans parked up on the same road that night 🥰

Guys, gas shower and stove; minimum two bottles. Upgrade the electrical setup. Campsites are not the highlight of van life. You can hang a propane shower on a tree or the back/side of your van. It is super portable when it runs on gas.

[@2Passports1Dream]

Oh yes!! We definitely need to get a shower hehe! We were looking into a battery one, we will see! 🤗 Can’t wait to do a lot of off gridding 🤗

I would trade places with you guys for the rain in Wales over the Texas summer heat with no end in sight! The campground and the view are very nice. I’ve been meaning to ask you but do you guys have a back up camera for your van? I see that there’s a wall panel behind the front cab so backing out of parking spaces might be a struggle.

[@2Passports1Dream]

Hehe please send us some Texas sunshine! 🤗☀️ lucky we do have a backing up camera (it would be impossible otherwise 😅) and it helps a lot!

[@louisel.sinniger2057]
