Surviving A BRUTAL Winter in This £1000 Motorhome

We took the old 90s motorhome that we have been restoring up into the Scottish highlands and headed right into an arctic storm, purposely just to see if this old motorhome could stand up to the challenges of the harsh Scottish winter

I really hope she pulls through, I lost my boy at 5 years old over night to cancer it broke me. A year later watching your video I'm in bits, I'm literally in tears wishing you well x

[@itzjustmolly8509]

So sorry for your loss of your dear Son😭.

[@sallyhumphreys2714]

Just watched your vlog for first time. I truly hope your little lass will come through ok. Stressful time🙏

[@UrbanVanlife]

@GeordieOnTour so so sorry for your loss, it’s heart wrenching when anything happens let alone going through cancer, thank you so much for your kind words and you are in our thoughts ♥️

[@susanprice2812]

Hi how's your dog ?

[@Anthony-w7i5g]

I guess you already know but others reading this may not. In a manual vehicle always press the clutch pedal in as it takes less effort from the battery and starter motor.

[@UrbanVanlife]

its weird its a thing iv alllwyas done since passing my test , must just be an old school thing cos my lad dosnt do it

[@sionnachog894]

Admire (both of) you for your positivity and can do attitude along with the fearless way you tackle jobs. You need a strong heart and positive mindset to run that old van and you both have it! I wouldn't go near an old yoke like that now, though I might have when I was younger!

[@UrbanVanlife]

Thank you so much! ♥️♥️

[@davidoakley3812]

Neil Emma I got everything crossed for poppy mate I had tears when you were talking about her sure she will be ok god bless

[@daltonjohnson4860]

Really hope she pulls through. Please keep us updated on her progress ❤

Still watching this video; it's so good. Look at the transformation of this motorhome. You have done so very well.

[@jangrant3228]

Just found your site love it ,its funny my husbands is Scottish,his name is Dougie and a massive Liverpool fan also so glad little poppy is getting better next time your in Scotland be glad to meet you both😊

[@UrbanVanlife]

Hahaha it was ment to be . Doug’s a great name and Scotland is amazing . Thanks for calling in to say hi hopefully see more of you

[@Cayres9]

Yeah Motorhome life seems good to me , no one knocking on your door and no one being nosy and earwigging your conversations as in my case i live in a flat block and its a nightmare , not had a good nights sleep in 3 years as people come and go all the time and when i go out anywhere everyone can see everyone else from the flats windows no privacy at all and workmen parking in residents spaces so ive sadly had dings and dents on my car door , Im at the point now of telling them to all P off and just living in a motorhome so i can get peace and quiet away from people. Also hope Poppy will be ok , Animals are better than humans.

[@carvanlifestyle]

[@UrbanVanlife]

Thank you so much for the kind and supportive message it means so much to us ♥️♥️

[@johndutton2895]

Loving this guys, hope the dog is ok. Not that it’s a high priority but they do sell winter covers for the fridge vents which are also handy to fit if the vans parked up not in use.

[@alanhat5252]

The vents are held in with a quarter-turn clip & you can tape some foil over the inside to block the draft. Make sure the batteries are good in your carbon monoxide detectors if you're running the fridge on gas.

Just watched your latest video, you'll all on my thoughts hope everything went well for Poppy 🥰

[@UrbanVanlife]

Thanks so much, it means a lot 🥹

[@handheldgaming4life]

Click click click and not turning over might be a sticky starter! I had this on my Diesel Escort years ago, and if you keep trying you can burn out the loom. But rocking the vehicle or tapping on the starter can get it to disengage and then let you start. 👍 Loch Morlich is deep, you don't want to go in! ;) I enjoy paddleboarding round it in the summer! Hope your wee pooch pulls through!

[@UrbanVanlife]

Yer we tried all the old school tricks but I think it was just frozen . It got there in the end and never happend again which was a bonus . One of them freak things

[@WillsWhereabouts]

❤️ you both! ❤️ Doug and ❤️ Poppy!

Have you done the crossover rod to the flap fix yet? You remove the rod and pin the butterfly valve open.
