Running into TROUBLE (TWICE!) in rural SPAIN. (Full time Van Life Europe)

[@kathleenchambers2544]

When things get heavy in life it is comforting to know that Emily and Lou are on adventures and will post on Sunday. You are a touchstone and reminder that All Is Well and Everything Always Works Out. Love you both. Thank you so much for sharing your lives with us.

[@campervibe]

😀😀😀😀

[@MoominJude]

Everything doesn't always work out, I can testify to that. Love the ladies though

[@saxonmckenzie9260]

That's cute

[@johnbrady3015]

Shake it off and make it happen.if you are of age and able and the girls inspire you go live that life for yourself before you are to old and not able.just dont wear a cap(sorry could not help it)

[@nancycarden2469]

What a great Samaritan. God bless him. And Louise and him singing. Priceless. Loved the parade. So cool.

[@lesleycameron9132]

So great when the kindness of strangers prevails yet again. Shows we’re all in it together and not that different x

[@campervibe]

She was a very kind man

[@denisemahood9162]

I love it. You both kept your sense of humour, neither of you got mad, there was no blaming and in your words you had an "adventure". I love both of your attitudes and your relationship. Best, and enjoy your journey!

[@wizardgmb]

Leave it to Emily to find a parade with free snacks! 😂

[@muireannin09]

I am working my way backwards through your videos and just got to this one. I love how real you 2 keep it in regards to your relationship and your life. I’m a Director of Nursing somewhere in the US of A… and sometimes I get so fed up and in a rut in regards to the daily grind and routine of every day normal stuff! You two have been blessing Showing me how the same old shit happens to all of us and we should never feel sorry for ourselves and like we’re the only ones that shit happens to! Can’t tell you how helpful that has been to my every day outlook and healthier psyche! 🙏🙏💃😘😘😘😘

[@pookleburger]

Emily’s face when you first got stuck😂 Classic entertainment as always. 👍

[@susanashcroft2674]

What a diamond that Spanish gentleman was helping you out on that Long and Winding Road (Beatles 1970), such a Sacrifice (Elton 1989) using his car to get you unstuck from all that mud. I wonder if It's Not Unusual (Tom Jones 1969) for that track to be so muddy...ok I'll stop now!! Seriously though I'm glad it didn't put a dampener on your day and I loved the little festival you went to as it's always good learning about new things, traditions from other countries. Thanks Emily, Louise and not forgetting AJ and Miss Summer too for lifting my spirits.

[@campervibe]

We was so lovely

[@davidadderson2100]

Wouldn't you love to be a fly on the wall in the bar where the Spanish gentleman is telling the tale of how he rescued two English ladies + pets from the mud not once but twice! and had a multi language sing song whilst doing it 🙂 Fingers crossed that that was your low point of this trip. Great video as always

[@campervibe]

😂 hell yeah 😂

[@alidabotes6264]

😅😅😅😅😅

[@sarahwass6249]

Louise.never heard Beatles 🙈hey jude ,yellow submarine.yesterday. just saying 😂i love the Beatles 😊

[@Loz2286]

FWD vans are pants in the mud. The weight distribution is all wrong. stick a couple of carpet offcuts in the van to stick under the wheels if you get stuck. Attach 5yds of string to each, tie the to the back bumper so when to get going you don't have to stop until you're on terra firma. Keep going, loving the adventures.

[@shaniemasson4285]

Watching this fab video wearing my new campervibe t shirt and drinking out of my new campervibe mug. X

[@campervibe]

😀🥳

[@TerryManthorpe]

That was the best ever ❤️

[@KennethSwaby-j9d]

Think you need to get a better tow rope and a bigger shovel 🤔 other than that😅 you will be fine. 😁😁 loved the singing.😂😂😂

[@helenrebecca263]

Only you two could get stuck in mud twice and make us all laugh about it. Honestly, when I heard Lou and the lovely man singing, I thought I would wet myself 😂 . Thanks to you both for sharing your madcap adventures with us, Sundays wouldn't be the same without you ❤️

[@campervibe]

He was so lovely

[@maddie1238]

It was so heartwarming to see a complete stranger really help you out even with the difficulties of you both not speaking a common language 😊

[@peterowen4456]

Another cracking video. I'll never moan about the pot holes in Warrington again🤣. Interesting country side - almost a Peak District vibe with the dry stone walls. Look forward to the next instalment.

[@campervibe]

😂😂😂

[@lifeadventureprojects]

Great video guys, we were actually on the edge of our seats when you got stuck for the second time! What a guy he was! ❤❤

[@MargaretUK]

Well, it's not every day that you get to outrun a procession! 😆 What an adventure you are having, I can't wait to see what happens next 😀

[@TheRollingRucks]

Blinking heck girls heart in mouth! Reminded us of the beach plight but thank you for the shock, the laughs and fear you had it all with this one enjoy Spain love us lot x

[@campervibe]

Oh it’s a nightmare ain’t it when you get stuck 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@JustOneKnight]

At least you kept your calm and your humour, I would have lost it and be a bubbling mess opting to curl up in the back and sleep till someone came along to help hahaha. Well done great video.

[@iquiltasigoalong]

Next time, use cat litter. That works amazing. The gritty one. Gives you enough grip. Helped me and I could help others loads of times.😊

[@exploringlife738]

For a moment I felt badly about your cow-pie-road dilemma, but you both had me laughing so hard all I could do was enjoy! Your guardian angel reminded me so much of winter snow dig-outs that the sense of relief was overwhelming when you finally made it through - what a sterling human being he was. If you get a Nissan Turano for Ireland, I know I would only be able to think of her as "Delilah" ... how sweet and touching this episode was!!!

[@campervibe]

We was amazing

[@exploringlife738]

@@campervibe You was! And I couldn't help but notice Emily's Very Awesome Videography contributions ... you are such a perfect team! Thanks for all you guys do. :}

[@MargaretUK]

The perfect name for the Nissan! 😀💖

[@HollyandZoe]

New subscriber here! Love the banter in your relationship, me and my wife are the same 😂. I think the way you film your vlogs is beautiful. Not sure if you have recently cut your hair Emily but it looks really nice. 😊

[@campervibe]

Thank you and yeah I have had my hair cut 🙂

[@bradkirbey1560]

Wonderful video. The trials and tribulations add so much to the video. And Emily's excitement at the parade was priceless!!

[@davidbirchall5124]

You 2 are very inspirational you seem to take everything in your stride, and just carry on with your Adventures. Well done 👏🏼 have fun, keep safe and enjoy the journey. Look forward to seeing your cottage get sorted...gonna take time i guess getting it to how you want it. 👍👍👍👍

[@johnathandaviddunster38]

I have a habit of getting stuck I use branches as mats the more foliage the better , especially fir types..

[@vancamerawoman7399]

When there’s trouble an angel will always appear😊 I am so envious of you van travelling in Europe. So much to see in such short distances. Australia?? Huge!!

[@worstuserever]

Favourite moment, Emily giggling at Louise digging out all that muck. I wonder if you could have cut some of that brush to shove around the tyres for added purchase? 4WD and a winch maybe for next van? Your lovely Sanish rescuer deserves a massive hug.

[@TerryManthorpe]

You should do a vlog on finding the nice old man on the way home with a bottle of wine to say thank you , title, finding the nice old man , one million views as you are great ambassadors for the uk ❤

[@katekeough9819]

I’m from Nova Scotia 🇨🇦 if that ever happens again use your floor mats under your tires

[@kevinthebespectacledpilgrim]

My experience is, if you’re wedged deep in mud, wheels spinning and treads full of the slippery stuff, it’s tow time. No amount of mats or carpets will do. Always know where your tow eye and hefty tow strap/rope are and seek out a knight in shining 4WD 😊

[@goodforthesoul3050]

It’s great that you manage to stay so good humoured during adversity. My other half would have lost the plot! It’s one of the things that makes me wonder if van life is for us… but I am yearning for it!!

[@Scud_and_thesTig]

Emily's face when she realised they were throwing snacks at her 😂👍💙❤

[@campervibe]

😂😂🥳🥳

[@paulguitar4662]

In my experience spanish people are very lovely and happy to help out a stranger (in trouble). this video reconfirms that. I hope you have learned a valuable lesson about muddy roads and 2 wheel vans! Good luck with your trip.

[@joshcliffejones]

Fear not, you are not alone getting stuck in Spain while travelling in a camper! I too got extremely stuck trying to perform a 3 point turn up a tiny mountain road! I ended up not being able to reverse and with my front bumper pressed up against the barrier with a drop off on the other side! I ended up being pulled out by a tractor thanks to some amazing locals! Granted, it did help that I speak Spanish due to growing up in Lanzarote 😝 Glad you managed to have a good experience despite the situation 🙂

[@Jayling]

Well, that was a muddy adventure! (lol). Keep heading south, young ladies, get out of Spain! You both kept such good humor when I would've been pissed and probably panicking - so well done, you two! Stay safe and mud-free from now on!

[@peterneal7160]

You were on a hiding to nothing driving down that muddy lane! SAT Navs can SO lead you up the garden path! Discretion is a must at times! The Carnival looked great! That local guy was a Real Star! And a Blessing!

[@kay-waterandwander5601]

OMG 😂 just watched this; KZbin gold 😂 Proper lol moments 😁 but lovely to see that there’s folks out there that will help out just because they can and want nothing in return ❤

[@paultansley5528]

You 4 just make all of us so happy, your energy, willing to go places & personalities BRILLIANT 💗💗💗 I love all the festivals in Spain & Portugal, Im so excited as I will be in Portugal from Saturday, also ending up doing non planned things allows things like meeting great people, sing alongs & trying different things & food/drink, these are memories that stay with you for life & money cant buy 💗 carry on, enjoy, stay safe & most of all have FUN, xxx

[@campervibe]

It is a great way for sure 😀

Love watching your shenanigans, excellent stuff. You were very lucky that the lovely man was out and about to help Fanny out of the mud she was stuck in! Safe onward travels folks, take care ... 😊 x

[@sherriwineland7247]

I see Summer has been working on growing her primordial pouch. She's got the "thunder down under"! 😜😻

[@campervibe]

She has indeed 😂🙈

[@RolyHough]

A plastic bread tray girls, one of the red ones. Cut the bottom out then cut in half. Keep then in the van to put under the wheels when yo get stuck.. 100% works in snow and wet ground too. Tie a piece of washing line to them and the towbar and you don’t have to stop to get them. Stop down the road and get them as you’ve dragged them behind you. It’s really nice watching your videos, I’ve been watching others and I’ve decided that they’re definitely professional scroungers. Thanking people individually for their donations, this causes others to want a mention obviously. There’s one out there who has a free electric scooter, 2 electric bikes, 4 power banks and more… then a list of thanks for the cash donations and a happy birthday list.. hence.. people are stopping watching them ( it was takes about at the Manchester show) and how his MH must be over weight, hence the reason it’s always catching on kerbs and speed bumps. It’s real nice how you do your and how you mention sponsors x well done to you both. X Keep up the good times girls and enjoy your travels. AJ & Sommer always look well. Bless em both xx

[@LeisureBit]

So nice that the local chap helped you out - it’s always great to see - the difference between a load of hassle is a nice person - the drone shots of the frost were beautiful. Enjoy your trip - jealous 😀 All the best, David & Rachel ❤️

[@campervibe]

She was lovely

[@devilsfan5967]

Thank you ladies, I was having a crappy day which was made loads better after watching your travels! 🙏❤

Why why why Delia! 😀 what a lovely bloke, just turned up at the right time. Cracking!! 😀👍🌟

[@junemunnik8308]

You are both hysterical Favourite thing of all time on utube I’m addicted x

[@elelegidosf9707]

The trick to not getting stuck is to keep your speed up. The faster you go through mud, the less likely you are to get stuck. Doesn't matter if the van is bouncing all over the place over the holes; just power through it

[@SharmanSomerset]

Em’s side eye when you first got stuck nearly killed me 😂 Glad Senor Tommio Jonesio came to the rescue though, big love to you all x

[@campervibe]

😂😂

[@RichH-f4b]

Summer's winter-belly made me chuckle the most - thank you both for sharing such brilliant videos each Sunday 🙂 You share so much and rise to everything that gets thrown at you (but I bet we don't get to see some of the bad moods between edits lol!) All the best!

Yeah she has got that alright, tends to get rid of most of it come summer 🤞🙌

Hi.the rubber mats at your feet.put them under wheels..

[@philgreenough9730]

Just loving your adventures, ladies. Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to make them. x

[@OldBaron5664]

Lou a little tip drop the drive wheels tyre pressure by about 15% this causes the tread area to expand use second gear not first to start off AND IF YOU CANNOT GET OUT DON'T KEEP TRYING AS YOU WILL BURN OUT YOUR CLUTCH AND DAMAGE THE DRIVE SHAFTS as well as digging yourself further in. I carry a set of heavy duty traction mats rated to about three and a half ton £68 Jolitac from Amazon they roll up when not in use don't go for the cheap £5 jobs from a well known high street automotive supplier about as much use as a chocolate teapot in a microwave it looked like your saviour was running his little Nissan Tereos (no longer available) on standard road tyres. If you do decide to go down a dirt track again stop and walk down first (not after driving halfway) if you sink van most certainly will also you can check for any hazards

[@alisonpeirce5489]

No matter what you two always bring a smile to my face, thank you for sharing your adventures xx

Love your vids,been watching for few years now , couple of years ago watched “ Marty “ from Houseless not Homeless KZbin channel he got his van well stuck, but got out some WAFFLE Boards NOT skid mats and it got him out the tish .So I bought a pair and they have saved me many at time , and they should be easy to stow, just a thought. Regards Pete.

[@gregbolitho9775]

Nice, Fanny got muddy. Under the wheel arches when you wash. Nice walks round there. Heard of Lumbrales, no idea where, when or why. I love a parade. Love small towns, bit hard to find a big well stocked sweety shop. Been in Corio 23 years an 2 months, still seeing people I haven't seen before. But on the other hand the local fuel station Coles, Woolies and other local shops I see the same people I've been seeing for over 22 years. They don't seem to mind you parked in their parade tho. 23:14, nice drone drivin wOW! look at the frost on the ground, Seen that once, here, since I left Ballarat in 2000. The Bird Bath, was a bird skatin rink. 2" of solid ice, I could pick up and throw on the grass. 23:22, looks tame enuf with a collar on but, they get overly excited and horny in Pamplona and a lot of people visit a big building with a red cross on it. Thanks m8s, enjoyed this one. Even the bearded Nissan bloke who had a beard like I used to have, until it became a goatee. Silly ole goat me 😉 Stay vertical ✋✋ [a hi 5 each[ and] and [flat hand] pat for AJ and Summer

[@elaineinnz]

Keep in the middle! admit it Louise, you were avoiding pot holes and drove off the compacted dirt road :D

I have to admit, I fell out of love with watching Vanlife vids to the extent I'd not watched yours in months either, but re-watching you Ladies and True Blue Travellers have restored my faith. Thank you and don't change a thing.

Found you on KZbin today "accidently" and started to look some of your uploads. Amazing! 😍 Just started to build my van into a camper, but I really hope to meet you girls once "on the road" in real life. You are always laughing, powerful, funny... so positiv vibes! Can't wait to see more. Wish you always a good ride and a Lidl near by, that Emily get's her sweets... 😉🏳️‍🌈

If you like parades you need to come to Cologne in mid Feb for the carnival parades.

Great content as usual. Grab a set of snow chains. I know it sounds daft, they are great in mud. We have a set in the van and a set in the pickup.

You two are a lot of fun. Even in disastrous circumstances. Best wishes from Boston Massachusetts 😎🫶🏻

This year is gonna be a blast! Even Fanny got muddy. Minute 13:47, watched it like 5 times, Emily coming out so eloquent. Another mesmerizing episode of so many on the horizon. ¡¡ Pura Vida!!

[@jed86515]

great video as always. good on you for both for keeping calm and still smiling when you were stuck xx lovely shots of AJ and Summer,

[@nicolacornell2253]

Oh my goodness stuck twice! But the singing was worth it 😂 I thought Em was going to grapple the kids to the ground for the sweets, then when you were running up the road I thought you were chasing the sweets down 😂😂😂 The park up looks stunning and peaceful. Keep safe all of you ❤

[@campervibe]

😂😂 no not this time

[@dingetjedinges2165]

I went to Spain just to ignore winter in my own country (Netherlands) nov-feb. Already spent 10 days in a hospital in Mérida and a month later just sitting in my van for a week due to again another round of pneumonia. Go to Spain they said, good for you health they said. 😆 I love to see you explore where I wasn't able to go! It's a beautiful country! I'm going home tomorrow, I hope you have a lovely time!!

You’ve got a real good van there guys, it seems to have your personality, it just smiles and gets on with it. If I ever decided to go on adventure, highly unlikely at my age, I’d want Louise in the backup vehicle behind me. Take care and see you Sunday. Chris.

[@emmaselten5264]

In rural Spain it is rare for people to accept money as thanks, most will take it as an insult (don't worry you're in the clear bc you're foreigners). I suggest, if possible, you have always some kind of cookies (shorbread would be good) or sealed food that can be given as thank you, that they usually accept and appreciate.

[@cindylee5593]

We were driving alone an Arizona desert when the battery fell out of the MGB (which FYI is basically under the back seat and had rested out the floor of the car). That was a thank goodness for kindness of strangers' moment.

[@AlyAlyAlyAlyAly]

I got stuck a bit in Spain too 😅 If you have a tyre pump you can partly deflate your tyres to help get out of sand / mud (worth digging out in front of tyres too) then reinflate them once on firmer road.

[@kathleenroberts4319]

Use the rubber mats under your feet ! Put them under the tires , that works every time!
