Nightmare - Major Electrical Fault (Vanlife UK)

[@Basilbrush207]

Hi Gary we also have a high roof crafter. We fitted a flyscreen a couple of years ago. Basically you remove the door seal and then trap the material behind it as you re-fit it. Takes two people to do it as you need to hold the ensign tight. We fitted two vertical zipped openings so we can roll it up when it’s not being used in the winter which you can’t really do with the magnetic ones. Hope this helps Baz

[@TravelwithGaryandAmika]

Hi Baz, yeah that's exactly what I've done with mine. Works a treat. Where did you get the zipper one from?

[@Basilbrush207]

@@TravelwithGaryandAmika A long way away…Australia! They get a lot more bugs out there so we’ll made. You can even zip it right out and just leave the edges but it’s fine rolled up. It doesn’t hurt if you bang your head in it lol

Great video i knew right away you had put a screw through a wire lol, only because I did the same once ha ha. Seeing all those ant reminded me of Belize nasty buggers they was. At least Amika could help you with the lights.

Thanks rose x

[@vetworker]

Thank god you worked out the problem. Definitely a good idea having a fly net up with all the midges trying to eat you. Seeing these beautiful mountains makes me wonder why people dash abroad so quickly without exploring this country first.

[@TravelwithGaryandAmika]

Yeah there is certainly low of places to visit here!!

[@colinootnaboot8256]

Was watching TOGR,outdoor gear review,and the guy there was given a tip to cut a hole in the sole of his boot as he has a similar issue as you.cutting a circular hole in the heel part of the sole.leaving padding around the edges said it helped him alot.

[@TravelwithGaryandAmika]

Great tip! I'm pain free again now thankfully

[@sallydavis1345]

A fun drive but those narrow roads would do me in. Glad you got the lights figured out. Hope it is an easy fix.

[@TravelwithGaryandAmika]

Yeah you have to choose your timing right. They do get busy them roads. Thanks x

[@glennmealing6907]

I was delivering a new van we had just finished to a customer and noticed the rear lights were all over the place. Eventually, we found the problem. The guy who worked for me had drilled through the loom when finishing the inside trim of the grp roof we had fitted. Nightmare, and so embarrassing.

[@TravelwithGaryandAmika]

Oh my god how embarrassing for you Glen. I totally forgot it was there u tip I started to mentally remove the lights and then remembered 😂

[@glennmealing6907]

Always look into what you last did or what happened when something goes wrong. In this case we had done a lot of work, so took ages to discover the culprit. Another great vid, btw. ☺️

[@ginibelle1416]

Beautiful photography and scenery, nice to see you both. The goats are so cute. Much love and blessings ♥♥♥

[@TravelwithGaryandAmika]

Thank you so much Gini xx

[@jeffjohnson847]

Love the drone shots Gaz not sounding thick how do you get the drone to follow you

[@TravelwithGaryandAmika]

Thanks Jeff. The drone has a few modes one of which is to follow me

[@jeffjohnson847]

Oh right really good 👌

[@TravelwithGaryandAmika]

Very useful 💯

[@LeisureBit]

Easy enough done - hopefully you managed to patch up the loom ok? Strange lights and errors is normally something simple but makes you wonder what the heck is going on. Hope you have a lovely weekend- All the best, David & Rachel 👍

[@TravelwithGaryandAmika]

I remove the screw and it works so I'm not removing my ceiling to check it 😂 How's Rachel getting on. Hope your both OK 👍❤️

[@mccoysmedia]

Glad it was an easy fix for you! Spent the last three days two nights wild vanning it around the Western areas, got some stunning pics and the kids loved it….. Sadly as I pulled on the drive I had a puncture but fortunately it was as I was home! Have you thought about pulling off that door seal and just pushing it back on over the fly screen? Might work

[@TravelwithGaryandAmika]

Western lakes is 🔥 Sorry to hear about the flat, annoying. I have already din that yes. Works very well for a cheap fix!!!

[@manondeslauriers2645]

Kind of mistake I would make...I was going to ask you where you got the flynet...looking at the inside of the van around the electric ding door now I am not sure I could secure it safely 😢

[@TravelwithGaryandAmika]

Easy done. Fly net is from amazon. It's for a house. I've tapped it in the door seal and it works a treat. Go for it!!

[@24865943]

Maaaaaete. My calves and Achillies are spent. Have been plagued for decades. Bought an expensive massage gun and the battery failed soon after. Really gutted.

[@TravelwithGaryandAmika]

Get another one. They are a game changer for me

[@24865943]

What flavour did you get ?

[@jackjack3902]

I think there pressing there horns it's a passing place your parked in

[@TravelwithGaryandAmika]

Happens in car parks and laybys

[@greigallan1973]

Are they rooting because you are parked in a passing place dude. Maybe. Just a thought

[@TravelwithGaryandAmika]

I've only had a few beeps. Once in a car park in Scotland and several times in the UK in laybys. Here I parked in a grass verge opposite a passing place. No one beeped

[@greigallan1973]

@@TravelwithGaryandAmika not sure then. Some folks just don’t like van folks. That’s the way of it sadly.

[@katiejackson8862]

It's an earthing fault I think.
