STEALTH VAN CAMPING WITH ANNOYING NOISY NEIGHBOURS

[@mykspence]

The other vans were Italian, they were probably upset that you made pasta like an English person 😂 Great vid, amusing as ever.

[@LoveSundays]

😂

[@dolceitalia5846]

As an Italian living in the U.K I sincerely apologise for the noise, however, agree that the pasta making skills are offensive 😂😂! Either way, amazing vid as always!

[@LoveSundays]

Yes I need to go back to pasta school 😂

[@stewartbeveridge5024]

😂😂😂😂

[@neglectedloves]

It WAS the cream in the Carbonara 😂

[@PDiddly]

Welcome back Shaun. Had to laugh at your comments about the neighbours being more considerate with noise levels. You're doing a stealth camp and they probably didn't know u were there lol

[@LoveSundays]

I was probably invisible to them 😂

[@adamwilkinson6546]

Great to have you back Shaun, hope you both had a great time away. Can I just say thank you for making these videos. When I’m feelin down I know I can always put one of your videos on and watchin what you get up to in the most beautiful part of the world always lifts the spirits.

[@LoveSundays]

Glad you’re enjoying them Adam

[@trudysimms1564]

Upgrading to a newer, bigger van is a very sensible idea. People will say you can also get problems with new vans. It's less likely than owning and running an older van. I've owned and run both and for peace of mind its a newer/new van every time. When you're out and about trying to enjoy yourself and have a relaxing time, in the little spare time you have, the last thing you want is spending that time worrying and subsequently getting recovered by the AA!

[@Tugga74]

Italian campers are notoriously noisy Shaun, you did well ignoring them. Good video as always.

[@optic1972]

Yes I is Italian, perhaps they smelt your awesome pasta and wanted to have some of the action 😁 Just remember, bigger van = more fuel ...but I see your point! Good luck 🤞

[@LoveSundays]

Probably thought that pasta smells like it came out of a packet 😂

[@totalcranker]

Still loving your vids. Don't be fooled that a newer van will be less problematic, your older van seems to just be suffering from general wear and tear of ancillary parts. I've had a couple of recent issues with my van and had the same thoughts of upgrading but when you do the maths, unless it's something catastrophic it's always cheaper to replace and repair. I see way more newer vans dead on the side of the road and believe me the repair bill will be way higher. That said this is my opinion based on my experience. You do what you feel is best mate and enjoy every minute of it👍 On a different note, with the little one on the way have you considered making provision for a family friendly van? I have a wife and 2 young kids and my challenge is how to create a usable van for my day to day transport, having 4 seats and still having space to eat, sleep and chill with the 4 of us. I just about manage this with a Hyundai i800.

[@LoveSundays]

Good advice thanks

[@philanderson978]

Awesome to see you back mate. Happy new year 🎉Shaun, keep those vids coming I’m living vicariously through you and your videos mate 😂. I personally would love to see you build out a bigger van. Have a great week mate 👍

Have you ever thought about getting wind deflectors for the front windows?, you can have the windows down an inch then while cooking, Sleeping, And no rain can get in.I’ve got them on my camper I sware by them. You can also have your ecoflo solar panels on the roof and have the cable through the window with it up👍🏼

[@shiraleematehe6486]

We always want some thing bigger, better and more expensive. We forget to be grateful, accepting and enjoy what we have. Babies and camping LOL

[@bythecurb]

I know the feeling mate, almost finished my build and realised that my van is far too small. I'm already considering a bigger van but they are so expensive at the moment.

[@LoveSundays]

I’d say live with the smaller van at least for a few months and use it because then when you move to a bigger van you’ll know exactly what you need and don’t need

[@SiRhodesDriverTraining]

At the end, with the limp mode with all respect, it’s a Vivaro 🤣 Mine did that 9 months ago, turned it off and on, never done it since. Get the codes read at the garage with a proper reader. I’ve started using premium diesel in mine from Costco and, touch wood, it’s been fine since. My mechanic also recommended running at motorway speed in gear 5 instead of 6 sometimes to get the revs up and clear the Fuel system through. Going into limp mode could be anything so a proper code read should show some history, especially if the glow plug light, service light and spanner came on.

[@LoveSundays]

Thanks for the advice

[@MBrown]

Great video as always Shaun! I’ve got the Insta 360 And I’d recommend the Dive case (you clip it on, then choose dive case for the stitching within the app and then you don’t get the chopped up footage, so looks as good underwater too! 👍)

[@LoveSundays]

Thanks mark

[@markennvibryan]

If ever anyone try’s to get in your van most people react by freezing in fear and staying quiet, I’ve lived on the road a long time the best thing to do is get up make noise most people are trying to steal so once they know your inside they run off. I’ve become immune to this scenario and I open the door and ask them politely to do one. I’ve had some funny ones but way to long to tell on this. Great channel. Look at Citroen relays great. And cheap for parts and great to convert.

[@nigelbarrett3602]

Nice video Shaun great to have you back. Also great to see you back in the water im hoping to get back in over the next few weeks. Stick to a steak sandwich that pasta didn't look great. Ps i keep my key in a aqua pack which was for my old phone and that works well for me. But might invest in a spare like you have. Thanks as always Shaun have a great week.

[@LoveSundays]

Yea the pasta wasn’t great 😂

[@jenbarker6207]

Handy tip about the keys. I do paddleboarding so don't want run to run risk of getting them wet/ or taking a bulky bunch of keys with me

[@richardmiles5293]

Hi Shaun, great vlog again mate. having seen the state of your wet socks and knowing some of the places that you like to snorkel, have you ever thought of changing to hard soled ankle wet boots and open backed fins with straps. As a retired commercial diver and diving instructor I've found them to be very good and long lasting if you are clambering across rocks. Hope Kate and the bump are doing well mate. 👍👍🙂

[@LoveSundays]

I do have hard souled wetsuit boots and strap back fins I just don’t tend to wear either of them. Again it’s a space thing in the van but you’re right I probably should

[@RoosterAirsoft]

Great video Shaun - I do like the idea of getting another van, even from the perspective of continuing to grow the channel I think you could get some great content from the van search/talking about what conversions/modifications you want to do through to showing us you doing it etc... would be a shame to see the back of the OG van though but the last thing you want is more reliability issues creeping in, especially when stealth camping - might not harm to have a different van either if you start to get spotted stealth camping in the same similar areas.

[@LoveSundays]

Yea that’s the plan. I will definitely film the process of converting it too

[@Babybambibertie]

Look into loop earplugs, they are awesome and have helped me sleep through nearly everything! :)

[@ci11itbang]

Check your MAF sensor just after airbox, same issue I had on my 2005 vivaro swapped that sensor and it runs good again 👍

[@LoveSundays]

Thank you

[@mg8778]

Fit the diesel heater in the van. They are only £120 ish so no issue to get another to fit in new van. You’ll missing out on all that lovely warmth.

[@LoveSundays]

The main reason I haven’t fitted it is because I have too much stuff in the van and fitting the heater would not allow me to have anywhere to keep my wetsuits.

[@martinsavage775]

Another great video. Inspiring me to crack on with my build! Cheers!

[@lemonmeringuepie3000]

Italians Mamma Mia! Thought about getting a bigger van too but manoeuvrability, fitting in regular parking spots and getting under height barriers were my main concerns - it's also my daily commuter. Am also experiencing loss of power intermittently, its my intercooler

[@LoveSundays]

[@robnoble9570]

Oooo new van talk.......bring it on

[@tomhope4613]

Wouldn’t say it’s an injector fault. More than likely went into limp mode. Usually diesels will reset if you stop switch off and back on again

[@clairebriggs4333]

Sounds like the van went into safe mode, which is the CPUs way of saving the engine if there is a problem. By the sounds of it it's time for a new van.

[@karlossmith3714]

I upgraded from a t5 to a LWB crafter as we now have 2 little’uns, best decision I made, however it was hard saying goodbye to my t5.

[@kevgandy7855]

Regarding the van. First off getting another van is entirely your choice but I'd stick with it ,you've just spent £ on alrernator ...also the vivaro going into limp mode could be the mass air intake sensor . I know how you feel about being disgruntled but getting another van your only buying someone else's problem... Love the videos 😊

[@jasondyer811]

Nice vlog Shaun. I'd go and get your van checked over ,might just need a good flush out by the looks of it,possibly a bit of a blockage somewhere .

[@Sidchasingclassiccars]

Thats the problem with sleeping stealthily, no one knows you are there so pay you no respect! LOL! On the van issue, sounds like it has gone into limp mode so probably the usual sensor fault or turbo leak and easily sorted. As a seasoned (read old fogie) vanner don't go from one extreme to the other on your next van. A MWB would suit your needs and most can accommodate a fixed bed across the back (unless you are 6FT 5in tall. Nice little vlog as always, catch ya later Shaunie. 🤟

Hello mate, love the vids, having a few van problems myself at the moment especially with diesel heaters. Have you made sure yours is a 2 kW and they haven’t sent you a 5 kW as that is one of their sneaky tricks as 2 kW heaters are hard to come by also check your settings are set to a 2 kW heater and not a 5 kW as this has been an issue with a few people I’ve spoke to on Facebook.

[@LoveSundays]

I’ve not installed my diesel heater yet as I’m holding it back for the next van. I’m pretty certain it’s a 2kw though. I got it off Amazon so if it’s wrong Amazon can sort it out

Falmouth beach front is always rammed with vans, and has been for a while now, to the point the that locals are complaining and the town council have got involved. Fortunately the tc's are trying to find an alternative to straight up banning overnight stays on the beach front as a way to avoid displacement further into the town. I just park elsewhere to avoid antagonizing people, but realistically it's those huge campers etc that take the mic a bit that are the problem

Only my opinion, I think you'll regret upgrading to a bigger van, I know there a lot of pluses for a bigger van but just thinking in this film, your van parked where it was parked, it didn't look out of place but the bigger van and the motorhome s just shouldnt of been there.
