Liam we had very similar happen to us in Italy, they said we broke their wing mirror. We said OK let’s go to the police as we knew we hadn’t hit them so not suspecting a scam we thought they’re just crooked BUT this was in 2021. They weren’t happy with us wanting to go to the police and I must admit it scared the crap out of me. I put the phone to my ear and said I was calling the police. They got in their car and went. We were in a hire car not a camper, very scary. ❤️

[@ThoseHappyDays]

It's horrible! I'm sorry you had to go through that 😔

[@sheilagarrido8204]

UGH!!!! for as awful as this experience must have been I think you did very well. Now you are mega prepared for this ever happening again. Thank you for sharing and Well Done 👏 💯🌹

I believe my parents got scammed several years ago in the South of France when a moped said my dad had knocked him off and damaged the bike. It was lots of money but my dad handed over the cash to repair it. I believe he went round doing this often. Lesson learnt. Don't hand over cash. Loved the Amalfi series. Thanks.

Credit to you both for spending 3 months in such a small space. Another tip for washing up is use the spray with a mix of 20% white vinegar to water. Killls off bacteria and doesn’t need rinsing.

Thanks for the highlighting the latest scam, don’t need to go to Europe to get scammed 😢, plenty of scammers in the UK, would recommend having cameras on your vehicle.

[@TheMinimalistTherapist]

Good to see you both ❤ Thank you for sharing the info on this scam, I sent it to my parents. They are in their late 70s and drive through Europe to holiday in Italy. That would be such a horrible thing to happen to anyone, but to older people who are uniquely vulnerable, it would be dreadful 😕. Thankfully you have kept your vibration high and been well prepared and as usual you've attracted some lovely characters to you on this trip. I especially enjoyed the passionate fruit farmer, the lemon sorbet seller and the wonderful pastry chef who continued her craft despite not being able to taste anything. Incredible people really make a trip don't they? Who have been your favourites? People have given *you* some great hints and tips along the way maybe? Now you are paying it forward and sharing them with us! So much admiration for the way you grabbed the series of unfortunate events with the Morgan situation and have turned it into opportunities for an extra visit to India and the Camino, plus some amazing unique micro camping adventures! I'm SO excited to hear your new plans. You always make the best of everything so I know whatever it is will have me pumped to follow along! ❤❤❤ A boat?...a new van?...maybe back to Ireland?... I can't cant wait to hear!!! Lots of love and see you next week. The doggies send wags. ❤

There’s been a situation in Portugal car parks, (which targets cars, not just vans!)where you come out of a supermarket to find someone accusing you of damaging their car and of course their car does have damage so it comes down to your word against theirs. They also demand money.

Hi Janine & Liam we have been following your journey for a couple years now & really enjoy it. We were part time van lifers over 20 years ago, after living in Jamaica for 18 years we have recently returned back to the UK. We are planning to buy a motor home but the money isn't here yet, & was so inspired when Janine came up with the micro camping car that we went out & got one ourselves. we have been on the road in Europe for 5 weeks now. We did buy tickets for Morgan however we didn't win him! Looking forward to your next big reveal. One Love

Love that you guys! You have a great flow to life, keep at it 🇯🇲💃🙌

[@Chris_the_Muso]

I've found the little stoves that take the butane canisters to be excellent, so I'm not sure why they did not work for you. On a recent trip I cooked four breakfasts and boiled the kettle eight times on one canister, and still had a bit left. I do have a collapsible wind shield that I use, so maybe that has something to do with it? The canisters are cheap and you can buy them almost anywhere, even some supermarkets. The only problem some people have is the canisters can ice up in really cold weather, so you just keep one canister warm and swap it out if the one in use starts to slow up. In warmer weather it's not an issue. Works about as good as any other gas stove I've used. My best camping meal is a one pan pasta verde that I can make at the drop of a hat. That and a glass of red and I'm a very happy camper.

[@ThoseHappyDays]

We love pasta Verde too, we make it often ❤

[@markwhalebone751]

Keep an eye out for the propane butane mix canisters, they still work fine in the cold. 😀

[@HolgerJakobs]

Butane becomes completely liquid (no gas leaving the canister, no pressure left) around the freezing point. So it's of no use in winter outside. A propane/butane mix or pure propane is better in winter, but I'm not sure you can get this in the necessary form factor. If you really cook a lot, it might be better to get a real cooker with a hose and a refillable (or changeable) gas cylinder. Small ones by "camping gaz" have 2,8 kg, the grey steel cylinders start at 5 kg and are even cheaper, last longer than your holidays and are changeable in almost every country. Using those avoids a lot of waste.

[@MrGf3]

THEY LEAK GAS WHEN NOT IN USE. LIFT LEVER TO DISCONECT CANISTOR AFTER USED.

[@julielomax7183]

Happens in the services and aires as well. On our way to south east france around Bordeaux a couple of weeks ago when we had parked up, a guy put his head in our half open window and very politely said our car had smoke or vapour coming out of the engine as we came into the services. We locked the doors and said thanks but its ok, put the window up and did not get out of the car. We drove onto next services and i stayed in car while husband checked under the bonnet just to be sure. Of course it was fine but we were rattled because our car had broke down in the UK causing us to miss the ferry and spend a night in a hotel! Now we never leave the car together, always one person stays with doors locked and windows up and handbags etc. Are well hidden under or behind seat. Sounds like paranoia but its not as its happening all the time now. Such a shame its putting us off driving in Europe after many trouble free years.

Shame on Italian cops who turn a blind eye to scammers. In this country that constitutes as aiding and abetting. Hat's off to you for highlighting the issue. Maybe if people took licence plates and reported incidents more often they'd be forced to take the situation more seriously. Would an airfryer or slow cooker be better plugged into your power bank or would that be to cumbersome and inefficient. Has the winner of Morgan been announced yet?

I joined your adventures around the time when you were experiencing troubles with Morgan and absolutely loved your travels in India. I have been longing to do more travel in Europe and have been keeping an eye out for the right van (we have a dog so that is realistic to do with her in a way that has more logistical challenges elsewhere). Although I don't think microcamping is for us, I have absolutely LOVED seeing you both undertake this adventure, seeing the beauty of places a motorhome simply couldn't go. It's also been really nice to see you able to chill a bit on campsites too, which I hope also offered something relaxing and a bit different for you. Despite some of the challenges with a smaller space, as you said a few times, travelling to the places you did on this trip opened up a whole new world for you both that you couldn't access in previous vehicles and it has been so cool to see you do so many wonderful things, from parties in Ibiza to the gorgeous Amalfi Coast. This whole series has had such a cool, chilled vibe to it. Thanks so much for all the work that goes into these videos, it is always such a treat to watch them and to get some great tips and advice along the way!

That little lever next to the dial on your cooker, that needs to be in the UP position when not in use otherwise all of your gas will leak out. We have one and we use it everyday multiple times a day and we go through one gas canister a week. Also when you’re not using, remove the gas canister

We have used those stoves for years to cook proper full meals, the canisters last for ages & are great value. We also have an Alpha Bru Kit, same as a Jet boil, handy for just drinks.

HELLO, I HAVE A BUTANE CAMP STOVE. I LOVE IT! THE UTILITIES IN CALIFORNIA ARE HIGH SO I USE MINE IN THE HOUSE A LOT! YOU COMPLAIND ABOUT THE BUTANE USE OF YOURS. I NOTICED YOUR LEVER WAS DOWN ON YOUR CAMP STOVE BURNER. IN THE BEGINING I USED TO LEAVE MY LEVER DOWN A LOT BUTANE SLOWLY WILL LEAK OUT OF THE CAN IF YOU DO! THE LEVER MUST BE UP AND THE DIAL TURNED TO OFF WHEN YOUR DONE COOKING. IF THAT IS YOUR PROBLEM YOU CAN START TO ENJOY YOUR CAMP STOVE MORE OFTEN BY MAKING SURE THE LEVER IS UP WHEN YOU TURN IT OFF. I HOPE THIS SOLVES YOUR PROBLEM.

Well…..as an experienced driver of Italy both in HGV’s and touring in a Ford Ranger every year both surprises me but at the same time it doesn’t. Clearly this is an ongoing problem, though never happened to me. Back in the day Northern Italy was very dangerous for us HGV drivers, particularly the area between the two tunnels and Turin/Milan. We nicknamed it Bandit Country. High value loads were targeted and your truck could be stolen just filling up or grabbing a coffee. A friend’s dad was once tied up and thrown in the trailer left for dead at Gran Bosco. Those days are very much behind us now, but the attitude still remains under the surface. We transit Northern Italy every year in the Ford Ranger, either going Blanc, St Barnard, St Moritz on our way to Puglia. Never ever had a problem. However if this situation does occur, and Iv got to disagree with “the police are useless”, call the Carabinieri NOT the Politzi. All my contact with the Carabinieri has been helpful and positive both as a HGV driver and in the Ford, the Politzi are just looking for fines (they once fined me for a dirty number plate) and not much help. Either call or go to the nearest Carabinieri station should this situation occur.

Nice vid with top info about the scam. Just a note on the gas hob. I live in my van and use a campingaz hob with similar gas canisters and I go through at most two cans a week and that's using it for cooking everyday and heating up my water for washes and doing my washing up. I thought that was brilliant. I can even usually slow boil a chilli for two three hrs and I've still got over half can of gas left.
