For the table, look into rampa nuts . rampa inserts. Those have a very big thread (holds better in a thin surface) and a small regular bolt thread inside. Drill the hole, tap in the rampa nut and screw the table into the nut.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Oooh I will need to look into this then because all of the bits that screw in are falling apart from age haha

[@avicohen3035]

Enjoy listening to you, Gemma & Campbell. appreciate your Craig. Like your sense of humor. Your van looks very nice, clean and tidy, almost immaculate. Thank you for sharing your journey.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thank you! Glad you are enjoying our trip 😁

[@jonburnell532]

15:44 such dark humour my tea came out my nose while laughing 😂

[@highlands2hammocks]

Hahaha 😂

[@hilarywallace9927]

Your new topper looks so comfy , your trip looks amazing so far ! ❤

[@highlands2hammocks]

Aww it so is! Thanks for watching 😁

[@ipirrie6734]

Looks like you already have a 30mb bulkhead regulator that will do propane and butane. I think you should only have needed a pigtail for the new bottle. You might have 2 regulators in the set up now. Not sure if that is a refillable bottle but there are some dodgy places that will fill it anyway. Good luck.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Yeah unfortunately I couldn’t find a connector to bypass that so we have had to make do with two of them ☺️

[@Abeyptfc]

Nice one guys, hope you are having a cracking time! ❤

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thank you Mark!

[@archiediggins641]

can I just say Gemma your hair is looking lovely right now. Northern Spain absolutely beautiful.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Aw thank you so much!

[@michelleskelly3496]

Lights up my day to see you uploaded. 🥰 thank you

[@highlands2hammocks]

Hey Michelle! Aw thank you, we are so glad you enjoye it 😁

[@christopherbaldwin7757]

Hiya you guys, dud you know you can buy an adapter off net to refill calor gas bottles, you can see vlogs on the you tube how to do it, It's alot cheaper than buying a new bottle.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Interesting! We have sorted it now thankfully but thanks for the tips!

[@paulblackburn8196]

We stayed at the same Aire in Bilbao, great place 👍

[@highlands2hammocks]

It sure is! Perfect for getting into the city and exploring 🥰

[@BMW7series251]

Great video Guys. I'm amazed you don't have many more subs! Cheers, John.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thanks for the support John 😁 glad you enjoyed it!

[@patriciamoore6492]

I'm glad you're having a great time in Spain and sleeping better on your new topper! You're both looking wonderful! I was pleased you compared your views with my Scotland!❤

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thank you Patricia 😁

[@shivashahriari]

Our mattress is the same brand (Emma) and is so comfortable.😀 Loved your video and thank you so much for sharing 🥰

[@highlands2hammocks]

Aww a big mattress must be so comfy 😍😍 thanks Shiva!

[@000caro555]

Great video guys. Safe travels, looking forward to next week x ❤

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@LeeLeesAdventures]

Just found you guys you are doing the same trip we want to do when our looking after the parent finishes we are dying to get away in our van. In Europe. We are binge watching your trip now, stay safe see you again in 2 minutes lol michael & KIM

[@highlands2hammocks]

Lovely to meet you 😁 hope you manage your trip soon! Safe travels

[@pumpkintree6438]

Caravan road trip goals right here! Northern Spain looks lovely, I hope there is a book coming to follow this Europe adventure ❤

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thanks for watching 😁 maybe one day!

[@andrewtorophillips848]

Enjoy Picos de Europa guys! Once you pass Bilbao the A8 motorway is toll free all the way to Galicia and you drive along the coast. The views are stunning and there are lots of nice fishing villages worth visiting. Do not hesitate to ask us as we live in Foz, the Coast of Lugo, in Galicia.

[@highlands2hammocks]

That’s true! The roads were a breeze past there ☺️

[@discovering_scotland]

I have always wanted to visit Bilbao 🙌 great video 👏

[@highlands2hammocks]

It’s a beautiful city! So much to do 😁

[@graememckay9972]

Looks lovely. We're currently in Portsmouth for a week and really struggling to find park ups with any services. UK really needs to provide more Aires. I'm sitting in a shopping centre Carpark surrounded by 20 other vans all with the same problem.

[@highlands2hammocks]

It sure does! Makes you realise how behind we are when you go to Europe

[@r-joule]

Guys, I love following your videos especially around Spain but could you please include a quick map with a pin point of where you are or a trail of your journey or something? I found it a bit frustrating not knowing where you are in Spain until about half way through. Anyway, just my thoughts, not having a dig, have a great trip!

[@highlands2hammocks]

Hey Robert 😁 this is a great suggestion and I have tried to do it a lot more in this weekends video, thank you!

[@IanMorrison-qm6oq]

Hi Gemma and Campbell, Enjoyed your Spainish trips, we have no passports (or any intension of getting them) so these show us what we are missing. Just to let you know, we have at last recieved your book 'Where to eat and stay NC500' after our pre-order. The next step is deciding just when to start our next trip from Lincolnshire to Scotland! Take care, hope to meet up with you in Scotland sometime. Rosie and Ian

[@highlands2hammocks]

Glad you are enjoying them 😁 thanks for the support!

[@yaminthegrey]

Hari OM Stunning scenery, right enough! Well done on the van maintenance and upgrades... keep rolling, Ellie!!! YAM xx

[@highlands2hammocks]

It is so beautiful here! You would love it Yam ☺

[@suzybeetravels]

Northern Spain looks amazing ❤ Great video guys 😊💜x

[@highlands2hammocks]

It really is! Thanks guys 😁

[@Dutchmore]

Spain is great! Nice video!

[@highlands2hammocks]

It really is! Thanks 😁

[@travellingwithcrowsfeet]

About time you treated yourself to new cup Campbell 😂 we love your references to Australia, it makes us proud. Spain looks fantastic. And good job on another book release...you two are inspirational, well done 🎉

[@highlands2hammocks]

Haha I reckon so 😂 we cannot wait to get back over to your side! Miss our campervan travels around Australia ☺️

[@vivienneflint6521]

I am a new subscriber. We are planning a similar trip down west coast of France. It would be really good if you could link the details of your camping sites, so that we might be able to easily go to your recommendations.

[@toobydude41]

Wow. I've seen some cool scenes from Spain courtesy of other globe trotters, but what you've shared with us here is truly mind blowing! Especially the breathtaking vistas at the beginning! Congrats on the new merch and bravo on Ellie's touch ups :) Campbell you need to work on your dance moves though. hehe j/k

[@highlands2hammocks]

Glad you enjoyed it Scott 😁 haha and thanks for the tips!

[@skip1392]

Hey guys. Crossover with Lost In Transit on the cards ??

[@highlands2hammocks]

That would be fun! Love those guys 😁

[@shepdoganimations6360]

Hi there, what's the name of the campsite you found in Bilbao area please?

[@highlands2hammocks]

It’s called Bilbao Camper and sits to the south west of the city on the hill ☺️

[@shepdoganimations6360]

@@highlands2hammocks Thank you :)

[@allanb52]

The thing about Spain is that people from "the north" head there for the winter so it's always busy, even in March. We live in Portugal and people head down here too..."save on heating bills brigade". Wooow, what a good idea. take some glue with use, maybe Araldite, thanks for that.

[@isking1715]

That landscape is very Scottish, then add the wind, proper home from home 😂

[@highlands2hammocks]

I thought that! Very beautiful 😁

[@Wetthewhistle]

It’s bow as in bow of a boat.

[@highlands2hammocks]

Thanks 😁

[@jakejackson1969]

Bilbo was a hobbit . Bilbao is a spanish city 😂 ohh Campbell you hit my ocd button saying that Hobbits name 😅

[@highlands2hammocks]

Haha obsessed with LOTR 😆

[@andrewberkkis8912]

👍👍👍

[@highlands2hammocks]

😁😁

[@The_Beast_on_Tour]

hello, i saw you empty the toilet cassette? Splashing ??? The reason it keeps splashing is because you don't press the yellow button on the top. This is a vent button. Prevents splashing when you empty toilet cassette. Have a good trip in Spain Kind regards from Belgium (Kris and Tamara from the Belgian MotorHome Club) KZbin channel: The Beast on Tour

[@discovering_scotland]

The button helps so much 👏

[@highlands2hammocks]

I’ve tried that but it always ends up leaking out of the button 😂 but thanks for the tips!

[@bartrandsnappy]

Bilbo?

[@highlands2hammocks]

Baggins?

[@adrianmichell2751]

Cable 🤣😂😅🤣😭😄😃😉 HOSE HOSE yep with a Scottish accent does sound like you are straying from home ! HOSE😉
