Thank you!

Hi great vid and where did you get the internal black outs with the zips? Thanks

[@CampervanTime]

Hi, thanks for the comments. It is a Brandrup ISO-TOP IV. We show it being unpacked and installed in this video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKCcnp98bsyWicU) and there is a link to it in the description. Hope this helps.

Great van, great location, great scenery! I find your channel to be relaxing and fun, you got yourself a new subscriber! looking forward for your new videos

[@CampervanTime]

You're very welcome and thank you for the kind words :)

[@sylviapage8572]

Great video. It will soon be 1000 subscribers 😁

[@CampervanTime]

It could well be! We’ve been blown away by the amazing support from everyone. Thank you for watching 😀👍

[@stuarthall4117]

What can you tell us about the USB block that is plugged into the 12v socket under the rear bench seat? Which one is it? Would you recommend it?

[@CampervanTime]

This one is an anker one I think but I can’t see it for sale any more. It is useful having some charging there though. Maybe something like this ? Deal: Quick Charge 3.0 Car Cigarette Lighter Splitter, Multi Car USB Charger 4 Port Passenger Fast Charger Adapter with Extension 4ft Cable Charging Hub www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08FCNFVXV/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_dl_FQRBEMBYSNF69RP2AT44

@@CampervanTime Thanks - so its just stuck to the trim with velcro or similar, I guess?

[@CampervanTime]

Yes that’s right - we use 3M VHB tape - strong and doesn’t leave marks if you remove it later 👍

[@charlesdickinson7180]

Just found your channel and subscribed Really like California’s and been considering buying one for some time. The two issues for me are no toilet or hot water. If you’re not on a site I’m not sure what I’d do. Maybe in future videos you could show how you overcome these particular lack of toilet when wild camping. As you know you can get converted vans with these fitted but yeh! It’s not a California so undecided lol Really looking forward to seeing your adventures. Thanks Charles

[@CampervanTime]

Thank you and glad you are enjoying the channel. We are going to cover exactly this in a future video as it does come up a lot 👍 😀

[@PaulDuffy-lu5ly]

Some great vlogs guys!! Complete novice here so hope its not a stupid question, but how much thermal protection do you get in the roof bed?

[@CampervanTime]

Not a lot! You can add various forms of second layer to the roof though - be that an IsoTop (inside) or a cali topper, wrap or screen on the outside. The make a massive difference to the comfort and all-year-round ability of sleeping up there.

[@noelkavanagh3507]

That looks like a great campsite and so relaxing.The van looked great I Love that colour and the wheels match the colour so well.Id say that isotop will be a godsend if you go camping in the cold winter months.Well done for getting 100 subscribers too.

[@CampervanTime]

Glad you enjoyed it, we certainly did! It really is a great campsite, small, relaxing and great pub only a short (but steep!) walk away

[@PBayee34]

You've gained a lot of subscribers in 3 days then, up to 447 now !

[@CampervanTime]

I know ! Obviously we made the video a week or so before it went live on here but even so.. can't believe how many people have subscribed! So very grateful to you all. Just hope what we have planned lives up to expectations !

[@fionarobertson4914]

Did you sleep upstairs? Happy Cali times ahead 👌

[@CampervanTime]

Yes we certainly did! Since then we have also slept downstairs with the roof down (v v windy...) but that is in a video to come soon :)

[@fionarobertson4914]

@@CampervanTime we have never slept upstairs only downstairs but one day soon👌

[@CampervanTime]

Give it a try - you may very well prefer it. The springs are excellent on the T6.1 (and the slats are good on the T6 too), but it is also 5cm wider than downstairs too.

[@peterpan1431]

Music is much too loud…

[@CampervanTime]

Yep, this was one of our first few videos and we didn’t have mics or much experience in audio levelling etc. Hopefully our more recent videos are much better 👍
