So, we'd love to know what you thought of it? Or, if you have any other suggestions of how we could improve, we'd really appreciate it as we value your opinion a lot! 🫶

Enjoyable video. You're a lovely couple. I've cycled on monsal trail numerous times. Plus high peak trail & Tissington trail. But monsal is my favourite. It's a beautiful area. Had a caravan in Biggin nr Hartington for 13yrs on a seasonal pitch. I'm 78 But 2yrs ago my wife sadly passed away & I've now got a Campervan. Enjoying go all over UK now.

Reckon an easy fix for shower is a couple more fix point on ceiling to ensure curtain won't fall down and then sew some magnets into bottom of the curtain - that way you can stick it to the metal on the floor. If it won't stick you could glue some magnets onto it so you can then snap another magnet on top. Van looks ace. Lots of inspiration for our own build when it happens!

Tip for shower curtain, use magnets on bottom of curtain to stick to your shower tray, if you wrap the magnets in electrical tape they won't mark your curtain. Might need to experiment with strength of magnets to suit . Great build btw.

Great video! Pretty much at the same stage as me and my wife. Just got back after a 7 week test run. Our Shurflo pump did the same thing and did turn out to be a leak. Once I sorted that it still plays up every now and then getting stuck on for some reason. It's also mega loud so might change it for a whale one soon.

The water pump problem sound like the pressure on your accumulator is wrong. It's the same type of valve that on your tyres. Often if the pressure is too low it will trick the pressure regulator switch in the pump. A normal bike or car pump will add a bit more pressure. Just check online what the pressure should be for your sized pump.

Hi mate thanks for explaining! I broke our pump trying to pump it up when we were having the issues 😅 topped it up to 20psi when we got home and its worked sweet as since. Cheers!!
