Storm Barra first wave hits the South Coast with HEAVY RAIN & STRONG WINDS

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Our thoughts and best wishes go out to all those affected by the devastating Mayfield Kentucky tornado on 11th Dec 2021. ❤️

[@angelahampson391]

Brilliant footage especially the rainbows 🌈

[@dieselbushcraft1299]

I love being tucked up in my sleeping bag and listening to rainy windy weather outside. Just goes to show how flexible it is having a camper van even in winter time.

[@yvonneqarwine7606]

i agree the colors where beautiful. sun bouncing off that cliff, made it look like it was glowing

[@Sushi2735]

That is simply amazing photography! The light over the cliffs is breathtaking! The Channel always takes my breath away! The very fist time I saw it in France, I was shocked it was pale blue. All those years of watching WWII movies, the channel looks dark and treacherous. Imagine my shock to see that pale blue fading into navy! It’s a memory I’ll hold in my heart forever!

[@LifeistooshortCK]

This was a lovely storm to watch.

[@tooyoungtobeold8756]

Its nice and cosy in the van during a storm. I love it. I live not too far from this episode. Nice Chinese and bacon wrap.

[@JP-gl2xp]

I'm quite impressed with the bubble wrap ken. Bet it's great to be all snuggled up in a camper van whilst the weather is wild outside.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks Jane. Yes it is lovely being warm and cozy in the van in bad weather ☺️

Yum! this couple make good food even in a little van.

[@rikdeere]

New subscriber here from Houston, Texas, and already loving the content. Looking forward to your future adventures! We also have an RV motorhome, and mostly explore around the South Central US region. It's a bit larger 24 feet long and 11 foot tall (8m x almost 4m), and suppose you would refer to our unit as a "caravan". In any case, I'm so impressed with your creative and positive use of a smaller space, and a bit envious of the range of places you're able to visit. If I watch long enough, maybe I'll be prepared to drive on the other side of the road once visiting the UK becomes an option for us.

[@xvsupremacy7190]

You will be welcome 🙏🏽, but when you come I would advise against hiring a large Moho, because of cost and penalties returning them , if you can manage with a smaller one like Ken and Carol It’s cheaper to buy one and insure it that way you can take your time touring and sell it on when you return .

[@maryg.249]

You’ll love watching carol n ken. Check out their Ireland videos. That’s where I first discovered their channel. Hi Texas from Iowa. Mary

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Hello and welcome. You have the comfort and we have the ability to almost park and enter anywhere. Our rig is fine for shorter trips, max we have done is 5 weeks but I doubt we could last much longer than that. We have always enjoyed the US when we have visited and I am sure you would have fun over here. Both places are very different but with our common language easy to navigate

[@gereshomeE]

I would chip in and say come and rent what you like! ☺ Read the reviews first and rent a motorhome or smaller camper van that's automatic and will take YOU to lovely adventures. Don't be afraid of us driving on the "Left" you'll be okay!! ☺

I was really disappointed when the video came to an end I was all ready for the second day of the storm. There was as always some great photography and those cliffs at golden hour were magnificent.

I’m impressed with the bubble wrap and look forward to seeing your plans for another improvement Thanks as always for sharing.

[@Arty-Zen]

I found this channel recently and have watched a few of the videos. I wanted to see if they really are relaxing; and I agree, they are. My Nana immigrated from Hartleypool to California in the mid-1930's, traveling by boat with two small children. I have always wanted to travel around the places you go; so now I can be an arm chair traveler. (I use mylar-sided bubble wrap to cover the windows in my older mobile home that has single pane windows; and it works a charm!). I'm 62 and would like to travel around the States, but I'm alone and it's just to scary.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Glad you find us relaxing to watch it makes me feel like I am doing something useful in these crazy times. It is scary being on your own but if you are careful where you park its ok. I always recommend trying locally to build up confidence. 👍

We’ve also got ones for the front door windows and the windscreen when we are not stealthing. Works really well and you can store them flat. We used to have one for the pop top in our T4 when our kids used to come with us. Woke up in Scotland after snow and they were still toasty! Great vlog again guys, stay safe in the storm 👍🏼

I really love your little camper. But! I really have to have that loo! Shower no. Loo is a must! As for a kitchen. A electric hot plate and a hay box cooker. (Can't do gas). Of course a small fridge. Your small sink and water hook-up is perfect! 2lt copper hot water bottle takes care of the cold. Yep! I am really looking hard at your camper! Thank you! Be safe.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

We love it because it is so small. Easy to drive, park and get under the dreaded height barriers. We are used to not having a loo now and like how compact and clean the Bivvy loo is 🙂

Bubble wrap seems to be a keeper. If it is damp when it goes on/off how are you going to prevent mould? The rainbows, golden images and sky were amazing. Looking forward to part 2. Take care Gill

[@LifeistooshortCK]

It is damp when it comes off but so far it's been dry again by the time it goes back up. It can be wiped off if you are careful but I will probably just unroll it when we get back home and let it dry off. I air the van often when at home so I am not worried about that but if there was any hint of mould I would bin it and start over. I will also pull them down every now and then when at home base.

[@yaminthegrey]

Hari OM That dark and dingy you had at three thirty in the arvo is what we had the entire day here in Dunoon, with plenty sleet and wind. Moody. I absolutely agree that motor-homing is not to be just a fair weather activity! It can be rather fun to hunker down in relative comfort yet still be so close to the elements. The bubble wrap experiment is looking very promising. YAM xx

I must admit, when I switched from a gas heater to a diesel heater, I did notice a large reduction in condensation. I still have gas for cooking, and taping conservatory plastic sheeting over the glass windows Dec-Feb, to make a "double glazing" really keeps it under control. For the windscreen, I find RainX spray works, but you have to top it up every couple of days, bit of a nuisance, but it works.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Good tip on the plastic sheeting. What tape do you use Hugh ?

[@hughjasse3375]

@@LifeistooshortCK I used the narrow, black Gorilla tape you can buy in most DIY stores. It came off fine last year, but it's tough stuff, so if your window rubber seals are the soft kind, test it first. Mine are as hard as plastic, so no problems.

[@gilliantempleton3253]

try a double layer of bubble wrap, we have had to do that when we've had polar blasts here in nz with our barely insulated houses.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Double would be better but would also take up a bit more space when we have them down for driving. I may give it a go if I can find an easy way to get two pieces to stick together and become one. We used a vacuum sealer on a small test piece to good effect but that wouldn't work on the front screen. a flexible spray glue might work.

Loving the your van I could do with one of those and do some exploring. Those meals look tasty and after watching your video I feel hungry. Great video footage even in low light conditions. What camera are you using is it a GO Pro?
