[@retro423]

looking forward to your trip, I'm off to France for 3 months next month, can't wait, try Camping Puits De L'Auture which is South of La Rochelle near to Royan, cracking site right on the sea front, happy days

[@lifes4touring]

Thank you and enjoy your trip away, very exciting 😊 We will add that campsite to the list and possibly check it out. Thanks for the information, happy travels 😊

[@chuckb624]

It's great you do the giveaways, especially for a small channel and especially when you see the bigger van channels who wouldn't entertain giveaways, but would rather sell the "stuff".Well done you two, can't wait for Portugal. 👍🏻🤗

[@lifes4touring]

Thank you, We try to give back where we can especially if it helps. We are excited to get going to Portugal now 🙌 not long after Easter and we are off 💨🚐 Happy travels 😊

Love the vlogs , Don’t forget to register your vehicle on line for the Tolls in Portugal They are not manned Just cameras, and travelling down through France try and stick to the N10 good road , very expensive if you use the Peages Happy travels,

[@lifes4touring]

Thank you and funny enough we was looking at toll roads in Portugal today i think we will do the easytoll pay system as it seems easy to set up. Great information, happy travels 😊

[@carl6227]

Love the vlog but remember those ghic cards are not insurance in other words they are rubbish they get you nothing a plaster on a cut something like that ,also check out the small print on any bank/building society who gives you travel insurance because it's not what it seems for example with are travel insurance which cost about 25 quid we had 2 million cover etc but those bank ones are not like......we speaking from experience.anyway have great holiday x

[@lifes4touring]

Thank you and thank you for the information we will be sure to double check the travel insurance and make sure we are happy. 👍 Happy travels 😊

There's an aire at Villamuriel de Cerrato, just north of Valladolid. Quiet spot, free electric and water and plenty of space even if the designated pitches are taken. Nice town with good restaurants. We've stopped there several times now as there is a vet about 5 mins walk away that we use on our return journey for the dog..

[@lifes4touring]

Thank you it's very much appreciated. We have just checked it out on search for sites and looks great,, maybe a stop before entering Portugal. Happy travels 😊

[@Richbbieslifesadventures]

Safe travels guys , we’re in your neighbourhood at grime ridge mill for the night

[@lifes4touring]

Thank you we can't wait and hopefully get some dry weather too 😊 Enjoy your night and look forward to catching up hopefully on our return. 😊

Good day love from Pakistan🇵🇰❤

[@lifes4touring]

Good day to you too 😊

[@micksparrow8214]

Can’t wait for the Portugal trip especially when you get down to Spain. You might be missing my recommendation because you’re stopping in San Sebastián but my recommendation is at campsite we go to every year in Noja Camping Playa Joyel in between Bilbao and Santander. It’s been voted the best campsite in northern Spain many times. We’ll be there end of April for 3 weeks.

[@lifes4touring]

Hi Mick, Thank you for the recommendation and we have checked it out. It looks a lovely campsite so we are thinking of stopping there, is it recommended to book or can you just turn up? Happy travels 😊

[@micksparrow8214]

@@lifes4touring from now until when the schools break up it’s pretty much just turn up. It’s a big campsite but until beginning of June they only open half of it. The weekends are the busiest especially if the weather is good so if you think you’ll arrive at the weekend definitely worth calling first. The reception guys are really nice and speak very good English we often try to with Aran she’s the daughter of one of the owners.

[@lifes4touring]

@@micksparrow8214 Thank you it's appreciated and it's now added to our list of stops 👍😊

[@lifes4touring]

Hi, Mick we are visiting the campsite you recommended tomorrow thank you and happy travels 😊

[@micksparrow8214]

@@lifes4touring that’s great look forward to the video. If you speak to Aran on reception tell her we’ll see her in a few weeks. Also Fernando or Diego in the bar. We speak with Fernando a lot.

[@martincollins7916]

Good morning Very interested in the battery and what power bank you are using I have also looking at Portugal but the ferry down to Spain so looking forward to the next vlog

[@lifes4touring]

Thank you, our main power bank we use to charge the Motorhome is an AFERIY 2000 watt however we are just about to try out a new one that we will highlight on a vlog soon. Our next vlog will be one last vlog in the UK just before hitting the road to Europe and we are very excited. Enjoy your trip, Happy travels 😊

Double check AA breakdown insurance When I was looking into it they only covered vehicles less than 3.5ton

[@lifes4touring]

Hi thank you I gave them a call before we travelled last time to make sure and they were happy with the size and weight of our van. We must have read the documents about 5 times before we did call them as we were unsure. 😊

[@meurigjones2469]

Is your Moho rated to 3.5T?

[@lifes4touring]

It's rated 4.5T

[@meurigjones2469]

Re what you said on the vid, could I suggest that you check your AA recovery because there's been a few posts online recently to say that the AA will only cover you up to 3.5T. Enjoy your trip

[@lifes4touring]

@@meurigjones2469 Thank you. Hi, yes we have seen them online and we have checked with the insurance and AA last time and we were covered however we will double check before we travel. 😊

[@lifes4touring]

We have just read through the small print, with nationwide flex plus account you are covered up to 8 meters in length and 7.5T for Motorhomes only. 👍

[@meurigjones2469]

That's ok then. Better safe than sorry. Weird what's been said though
