INFLATABLE Tent FAIL! Italian Micro Car Camping Disaster In Citroen Ami 🚙🇮🇹⛺️

[@kbradley1994]

Have to love Mr Boo’s “I can’t believe we’re doing this again” face! 😂😂

[@AdrianNorris1]

I hope all the people who watched you for the ID Buzz last week will watch again this week! They’re missing a treat if they don’t. Perfect Sunday evening entertainment!

[@MeandMonAmi]

Great video guys love mr Boo’s pump action you had me and the wife in fits of laughter.👍

[@susihormon7821]

a cartoon comes real. Best 3s in this episode. 🎉

[@nigel9843]

That was certainly a white knuckle ride, thank goodness dear Elton made it. So pleased you got the tent up, so bad pump not included it, wasn't a cheap tent either, can't wait for next week episode for more of your adventures.

[@MeandMonAmi]

I bet we weren’t the first to make the pump error!

[@simonfirth2018]

And again with the beautiful song, Pandemonium. Perfect.

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks Simon.

[@Staronqueen]

Watching your video is like being in a roller coaster. At my youthful age of 72, this is a bit too much excitement for me😱🤣🤣🤣

[@vikingsystem]

knew this was going to be an incredible episode. As for not having a pump to inflate the tent, I can only imagine how much work it took to inflate it by hand. The location is superb, the whole atmosphere, the mountains, the views, simply incredible. Looking forward to another fantastic episode next week :)

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks. It was an incredible trip so hopefully next week will be fun too

[@pamelasoares9214]

Another wonderful post - your patience with humor are amazing. And, to let you know.... Evil Knievel was born and died in Butte, Montana - a mere 60 miles from where I sit now. "Butte - a mile high, a mile deep, and everyone is on the level". Love you two more than I can say.

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks. Top Evil facts!

[@achmadosman9807]

Over here we have a roll up doormat called a “dirt stopper”. It is used for tents and caravans to stop dirt from getting into your tent. ❤ keep up your adventures.

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks so much!

OMG boys, you are cracking us up over here. Kimball and I were legit on the floor laughing over you guys trying to get that tent up. 🤣 Hope you had an amazing time camping. ⛺🥰

[@nickybomont6074]

I don’t think I’ve laughed so much in a while, brilliant! Well you got it up in the end, bravo gentlemen. I was afraid you might start killing each other when the pump didn’t turn up, but you obviously cut out that bit. Happy hols ❤❤

Thanks and we just watched your curry video in Leeds. I think we will have to go there to find out who was right!

[@lizrodriguez1478]

Absolutely loved the banter when blowing up the tent boys!!

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks Liz

[@tradingcardboss]

Great vlog as usual 🎉🎉 Perhaps you need cover the whole thing on the roof with a cover and tie down with bungee straps

[@Scruffy1000]

What are you two like !! Great film as always boys, what a beautiful part of the world to live in and visit, you are truly blessed to have all that on your doorstep. And Mr Boo….. “dirty boy….. bad boy…. on your rug !!” You didn’t have to enjoy pumping up the tent quite sooo much 😳 Stressful journey but it all ended well…enjoy your break up in the hills…… then all you’ve got to do is get the Quatermass tent back in the bag , back down the hill and home again without it falling off the roof ! Thank you for brightening up my life…. Cheers guys 😉 Richard.

[@avidviewer1]

Well, that's amazing! No matter how hard I kept my fingers crossed for the speed bumps to do their best, my hopes were dashed (multiple coffees are coming your way 😢). The tent inflation scenes were epic and must surely find their way into the Mon Ami Hall of Fame! Thanks again - wonderful fun! 🤗

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks so much for your support. It was more touch and go than the video made it look to begin with. Not least because by the third stop to tighten the bungees I was getting a little irate!

[@billienomates1606]

Oh my if someone had been walking past when you were pumping up that tent🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 although nice athletic and smooth action 👍

Great to hear Pandemonium back. Love that song.

[@danieltaylor3755]

Loved this video. That tent is just incredible. Looks amazing. Much better than any expensive clunky camper. That dog is so cute too. So oblivious to the chaos.

[@MeandMonAmi]

Utterly oblivious!

[@byteme007]

Lovely video lads, one of your best. Before settling elsewhere in Italy the wife and I looked at an apartment to buy in Dolceaqua just above the Monet bridge but realized it never got any sun. For your friends to get a house up in the hills in the middle of nowhere is a brave undertaking (presumably it's a holiday home). We are driving across the border for a 5 day stay at the Le Flore in Villefranche next week so maybe see you pottering around? Ciao!

[@MeandMonAmi]

Shout if you see us!

[@claudettewells-e9b]

Perfect episode. OMG…so many jokes could be made about having to “pump it up” even at Mr. Boo’s young age. Magical place. The blowing up, etc. 😂 And on and on. Gorgeous tent. Hi to the gang. Lovely and congratulations.

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks!

[@giblyn11]

Pumping the tent up gave us the best laugh we’ve had in ages, thanks guys 😂😂😂

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks

[@paulevans4419]

I have no finger nails left after watching that tortuous journey...poor Elton, poor Twiggy!! Such a relief when you finally arrived, but then the (no) pump debacle! You have not changed my mind about camping. Oh the drama of it all!! Loved every minute of it....thank you!

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks Paul. I’d be lying if I didn’t say it was exhausting but it was worth it when we got there

[@RobertLund-d7d]

The dialogue whilst trying to blow up the tent is pure Julian and Sandy 😂😂😂( older viewers will know ).

[@MeandMonAmi]

We try to keep modern!;

[@HenkModderman]

All beginnings are hard but you finally succeeded. I can't wait for the sequel and wish you lots of fun!

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks!

[@michaeltucker5752]

Thanks for sharing😊 A couple of tips on traveling: Very LARGE vacuum storage bags can store all your soft items, sleeping bags, pillows, clothes, etc and reduce space to carry them on Elton’s roof by over 3/4 percent..if you can find , they are worth the investment..also you can use a very large nylon laundry bag or use or make a “net” to collect all your supplies on top of the roof to keep them from blowing off the roof, and there is a possible bike rack attachment for Elton that you could use on the back of Elton for more carry on stuff…( a foot pump for your tent may be in the works?) Twiggy is gorgeous 😊😊❤❤

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks. We only had the tent in the roof bag and our pillows. Our problem is we can’t carry our seats (Tamsin brought those) And we’d love to have a tow bar bike rack etc on Elton but it’s sadly illegal as he’s a light quad. Like the net idea though

[@debbiekirk9460]

Brilliant! Mr Boo your one amazing cool dude under pressure 😎x

[@patrickcampbell8201]

Another superb video. well done guys.

[@frigbychilwether]

Hi, glad you made it and got the tent up. Looking forward to seeing the area.

[@gillrichardson6332]

Just switched on to see if you had uploaded your Sunday night video and now just about to enjoy our Tim and Mr Boo Saga 🥰 Thankyou as always for giving us such great viewing Twiggy has won our hearts though ❤️❤️

[@dlschgo]

You need a fine net to hold everything down tightly. The air is lifting the edges of your cargo.

[@MeandMonAmi]

I think that’s a good idea

[@phonepower66]

You two have so much patience and determination to get things working. The new tent looks great . Just need a pump to complete the set up . Nothing seems to phase you . Great to hear pandemonium again ,sums you two up perfectly. Looking forward to next week.stay ( inflated) charged .

[@MeandMonAmi]

Perseverance. That’s the theme of this week’s episode. (And most others) Mr. Boo just wouldn’t give up on that tent. And those expressions behind Tim are priceless. 🍺🇮🇹 He should be rewarded with one of those large bottles 🍺 or three. Hope you enjoyed the holiday. 💙🤍❤️ I shall be singing Charlene for the rest of the week now. Merci

The tents usually come with a pump my dad has one not sure on the brand though. I did however have a good laugh when mr boo had the pump between his legs gave me a good chuckle. I havent got a clue why i watch but i enjoy the vlogs im not into camping or evs but your obviously in my algorithm for a reason. Keep it up guys.

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks and glad you enjoy!

[@simonclews]

Was expecting to hear "Pump it Up" (Elvis Costello and the Attractions) as the sound track during the tent inflation sequence. But once again, I really enjoyed the random thoughts from the driver's seat (stream of consciousness rantings), Tim! Among my favourites: "You don't want to direct your future based on where them shrines are", and "Dolly Parton in 2 and a half km". Re: the latter, where I live, the speed bump sign depicts a single bump, and it reminds me of a Cappello Romano (aka Saturno). Lots of fun watching you both as always.

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks Simon. As someone once said ‘I can take some sh…’

[@erwindewit4073]

So funny again. I'm kind of happy to be in cooler weather here. But wow, that place looks great! And what a view! Poor Twiggy though. Hope she's all right?

[@veronicarunge2241]

Oh I think tent designers should employ you to test their products - this camping lark is hilarious and has got better and better - poor car is overwhelmed with gear now! Thank you for sharing and the laughs from Australia.

[@SeanyAHardy]

Oh my goodness, the entire bit with the tent was absolutely hilarious!! Mr Boo pumping away, the giving his best blow job and then but you standing over him holding the camera… well I just lost the plot hahaha 🤣 😂

[@chrisjackson3750]

What an amazing adventure, feels like we're all along for the ride, the tension levels were through the roof on this one 🤦🏼‍♂️ and not having a pump would have finished most people off, bravo for the effort and FUN as always

[@cmgosh37]

To give you plenty of extra cargo space, maybe put the camping stuff in Mr Boos seat and have Mr Boo caravan with you while riding Camilla. You can communicate the way bikers do; with those fancy headsets. We can get more Twiggy Cam footage too!!

Not sure how we film both things thought without me head exploding in the edit..

[@bertjesklotepino]

no pump indeed That joke was hilarious. And the shot itself, perfect. You could have been Alfred HitchCOCK

[@bertjesklotepino]

and my usual tip: Have you ever seen this new type of pump? It is basically a big trash bag with a big opening on one side and a nice nozzle on the other side. You just capture as much air as possible in the bag. And you attach the nozzle to the inlet of what ever you wanna blow up. And then you just close the big opening of the big trash bag, and you just use your weight or whatever to push all the air out of the trash bag right into what ever you wanna blow up. Inflate. I hate seeing manual labor. Why use a manual pump? Why use your lungs? Why even use a noisy electric pump which takes for ever? Why not the big trash bag, as i just explained? You can find commercially available trash bags with the nozzle. But a bit of duct tape, some brains, and half an hour..... it should save a bit of money on that as well. Believe me: If i inflate a boat, a chair, what ever.... I use a big bag which i can fill up with air easily by just opening the large gap and trap air inside. Then i close the big gap. To keep the air inside. Small nozzle on the inlet, and squeeze. You will be amazed how easy and how fast and how effortless this works. ps: you can find videos on youtube about this concept... look em up. And do not feel stupid for not realizing this years ago. I felt stupid for a while, obviously. PSS: and yeah, this wont work for to inflate tyres. But just soft stuff. An inflatable bed, an inflatable castle, a boat, a tent. That stuff. It will work just fine for that. PSSS: If you need a link to a video to show you what i am talking about, i can supply. BUT i am sure you can figure it out yourselves.

[@bertjesklotepino]

here is a title of a video: Inflate air mattress with a garbage bag. But, there are other videos with a much bigger bag. Heck, buy an inflatable mattress. Cut one side open, but leave the nozzles in place. And there you go. You fill it up with air, put the nozzle on the nozzle of the air mattress you wanna inflate (might need a bit of pipe, something...) , close the hole and start laying down on it to transfer the air. How easy can it be?

[@MeandMonAmi]

Thanks..
