Water Damage DESTROYED Our Campervan

[@grandmawandersoff]

Ahh it was so lovely to meet up with you guys ♥️ hopefully we can do it again soon x

[@UrbanVanlife]

It was lovely to met you too, hope you have a fabulous weekend!! ♥️

[@peterdnreynolds777]

Thank you, I thought it was only me that had beef and boils my blood about the people having a conversation and blocking the aisles in the supermarket. Another thing is when people cannot leave their trolley to look at something so it's like a 2 metre space that is taken up. And god forbid that you ask them politely to move, you either get abuse or the look of you are asking them for a million pounds. Hope all is well, take care of yourselves

[@UrbanVanlife]

Totally agree with you on both counts,people seem to have much less awareness these days!!!

[@paullawrence8572]

You guys take everything in your stride! Needs a repair you just get on with it. The 🐕s so cute in their coats! Looking forward to seeing the conclusion. Top vid as always! Paul & Lin. ❤❤

[@UrbanVanlife]

We just get on with things as best we can as it’s how we were brought up. The dogs were living their best lives that day with all the smells and things to poke their little noses into 😂😂😂

[@Talesofhakuna]

Totally agree with Emma on the middle of the aisle trolley syndrome, drives us frikkin nuts

[@UrbanVanlife]

Glad I’m not on my own on this one!

[@teresacatroppo2277]

Emma that happened t work yesterday! 2 customers were having a life update in the middle aisle where we have the towels at! They stood there for a good 30mins yapping away! 😂😂

[@UrbanVanlife]

Honestly I don’t care what they do as long as they aren’t getting in everyone else’s way! I would never dream of blocking people and would feel mortified if I was 😂😂

[@teresacatroppo2277]

@ I wouldn’t have either but these 2 were in a way of my job though!

[@UrbanVanlife]

See inconsiderate…. People just don’t care anymore 😘😞

[@teresacatroppo2277]

@ yep they sure don’t! I work in retail in a department store here in Maryland, and if I start to have a conversation with a customer I see all the time I move to the side and let people pass by!

[@andysteptoe6310]

Ah Morrisons in Reigate, didn't realise they had an outside pool. Sorry we used to live there 😂😂

[@UrbanVanlife]

It was rather deep 😂😂

[@kittybierwirth8311]

On the job! You two have this in hand! Well done. Thank you for sharing. :)

[@UrbanVanlife]

Thanks for watching! ❤️❤️

[@DA11NOON]

Great vlog looking forward to next vlog Be safe guy's 👍

[@UrbanVanlife]

Thank you 🙏

[@Rob.1340]

Auto renewal shouldn’t be allowed. Food looked good. Am sure you will have the van sorted soon. All the best. 👍🚐🐾🐾😎

[@UrbanVanlife]

Totally agree auto renewal shouldn’t be allowed and yes the food was amazing!!

[@davekitchener9092]

Trolley rage..😅😂great video once again 👏 👌

[@UrbanVanlife]

Not much annoys me, littering and inconsiderate people that’s about it 😂😂😂

[@karlhorgan4998]

Hi Guys, I`m with Neil when it comes to shopping, stay in the van. The pub looks lovely and the grub looked yummy. I have to say that Neil seems to be able to turn his hand to almost anything when it comes to repair and maintaining then van, well done sir. I can only go by what Martina tells me in regard the shopping aisle issues, btw loved the new squeaky voice for Emma, lol. Good luck with the floor repair and I hope it solves the water problem for ye. Safe travels, Karl and Martina in Cork

[@UrbanVanlife]

If we didn’t need food and the folds didn’t need feeding I wouldn’t go into a shop to be fair it’s become more like an obstacle course these days of dodge the trolley or hop the basket 😂😂 …. Could make it into a video game I’m sure and you get extra points for not losing your rag 😂😂

[@wayne3790]

Absolutely brilliant video as always, thank you both very much!! Your pub food looked bloody lovely!! 👌😋🤤 Totally didn’t see how long it would take to get there on google maps!! 🤥🙈🤣 Oh no, what a nuisance!! Sorry for the aggro your leak has caused!! 😢 So pleased you could at least use Will’s workshop. Love, hugs & best wishes to the 6 of you 🩷💙🐾🐾🐾🐾 xxx

[@UrbanVanlife]

Will was amazing to let us use his unit, he’s a truly genuine good soul, we call him our surrogate van child 😂😂 If you are ever in the area we highly recommend the pub stop, very friendly and great food!!!

[@wayne3790]

@ Aww that’s lovely 🥰 You can see he really respects & appreciates you both for all your help with his van & flat too. What an amazing world it would be if we were all like this to one another. Yes, I said to my Wife (Also Emma) that if ever we are close to that pub we’ll have to go there 🤤😋 Love to you all ❤️❤️🐾🐾🐾🐾

[@George_the_VW_Crafter]

I like a few pub stops. That one looks like a nice one to try Drew

[@UrbanVanlife]

It was very nice and friendly!

[@neillh]

Thanks for sharing another great video , I have always said that you don't own a home the home owns you because you have to keep fixing it to make it happy

[@UrbanVanlife]

That’s is a very true comment there, feels like we have been doing everything to make her happy at the moment and she’s just fighting us 😂😂😂😂 going to change her name from Eva to Diva!!!

[@andrewwaller3737]

Morning I watch you because you have a more practical approach to travelling and are a good double act And I do agree that in the road does require a certain amount of practical and diy skills - learned a fair bit from you can do attitude but DESTROYED is rather strong considering it’s a bit of overlooked water damage 😊

[@WhipperdeetsAdventures]

Great vlog pub looks lovely 😊 I not sure about pubs because I don’t like eating on my own in a public space. :( I don’t agree Emma on the shopping I have it all the time :( it’s a great space to have to work on your van bless hope it’s an easy fix and not gone somewhere else 😢 sounds like strong winds out side Hope you’ve been recovered too 😊

[@UrbanVanlife]

Can’t thank Will enough for the space, a real help!!!! Nope still arguing the toss with our recovery company as you do 😂😂😂

[@Antonymorris1.6]

Oh no the joys of motoring .like houses always something needs doing.

[@UrbanVanlife]

So true she’s keeping us on our toes the past few months 😂😂😂

[@jeffshaw4553]

Used a few pub stop overs and they always been pleasant and helpful although one I used local to my mum in redditch used to charge £10 if your eating there and then they out their prices up to £30 weather you was eating or not,refused to stay at that price as I can stay at Stratford upon Avon for half the price some of them are greedy.annoying are people in super markets 😭🤣had 2 people stood chatting with trollies as you walk in to entrance which was rather annoying asking them to move so I could get in to super market 😢😤😤well done fir sorting floor guys what a mission for you both 😭

[@UrbanVanlife]

We use pub stops rarely but have found some good ones (especially in Ireland to be fair) and all reasonable!!! As for those shoppers and there trolleys don’t get me started 😂😂😂

[@FreeBirdUKVanLife]

Happy New Year guys. Crunch crunch 😂 Grub looked yummy, where is it? Lol at squeaky voice 😂 atb ❤x

[@UrbanVanlife]

The pub was in Betchworth, food was awesome and the owner was lovely too!

[@gaz1226-j2x]

Think I’m missing something😏I can’t see the link to the recovery boards and magnetic brackets. I haven’t got a roof rack on my van so will have to rely on magnets. Looks a lovely stop over, food looked great. Hope you get your floor sorted without too much difficulty. 👍👍

[@UrbanVanlife]

No your not he hasn’t put them in yet as he forgot, we have a few things going at the moment 😂😂 he’ll put them in tonight 😂😂

[@denisecafferky2248]

Great to have a dry pkace to work on the van

[@UrbanVanlife]

It sure is, Will is legend for lending us the space!!

[@campervancodgers124]

We know it needed doing, but now the heck does Neil start work after tea..... His hand just can't be idle can they 😂😂

[@UrbanVanlife]

Nope ants in his pants 🩲

[@emlyntilley]

Emma sounded like Emily (Camper vibe) 😂

[@UrbanVanlife]

Neil’s a cheeky boy that’s all I can say!!!

[@alanhat5252]

You should try Walmart if you like trolley wars 😂 Here now its a nightmare 😂

No thank you 🙂‍↔️ 😂😂😂

[@UrbanVanlife]

Lack of sleep for the win on that one!!!!

[@rafo6577]

@UrbanVanlife we all have those moments when it comes to vanlife. You never know if you'll sleep too long or too little.

[@modestadventurers]

I feel for Neil for a change. That £44 wasn’t mine but it’s going to keep me up tonight 😋

[@UrbanVanlife]

Thought you were taking about the food then 😂😂😂 but yeah that stings!!!

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

Thanks for watching Lee 🐾♥️

We have fixed the issue with the floor and the bathroom but Eva strikes again throwing us another curve ball 😂😂😂

Yes correct although thinking of calling her Diva instead currently 😅

Just wondering where Will's workshop is as for some reason I can't get the current latest vid on this phone, & I'm not going to spend 3 days typing this on the TV remote

It does it for me - walking in the early morning sunshine no matter the year is quite invigorating 😊

[@moonhead911]

What was the issue with the boiler

[@UrbanVanlife]

No we had an issue with the old shower tray which cracked and there was a lot of damage done to the floor, we thought we had dealt with but it seems we hadn’t removed enough of the wood the first time and over time it has made the floor deteriorate so had to pull everything apart to get to it.

[@charliegould7829]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that gets annoyed with the idiots in supermarkets. It really winds me up when like you said some people completely block the aisle and look at you like you're something they just stepped in when you ask them to move. Or the ones browsing a shelf but the insist on also holding onto their trolly right alongside the shelf in the way, they seem to think they can't leave the trolley unattended incase somebody steals it. I'm getting old now, so I don't care if I offend them, instead of politely asking, I now just shove their trolly out of my way. Oh by the way I live down here in West Sussex in the south, it seems to happen more and more, or is it me getting more grumpy?

[@UrbanVanlife]

I it is happening more and more, and you’re not getting grumpy, there just seems to be less awareness these days of other people!

[@terrybull1043]

If you come to my house you can have a frosty morning noon and night 😂😂😂😂

All these little problems sent to test you.. at least its nothing too serious... At least its nothing like maybe you're rear diff giving up the ghost... 🤔😮

[@johnhanlon1045]

I had the same problem with Brit Stops. They auto renewed my membership last week at a cost of £44, I had expected it to run to Jan 2026 but no, it expires in Aug 2025, feel cheated. Remember to cancel your auto-renew. I won't use Brit Stops again .... rant, rant...... I fell your pain

[@UrbanVanlife]

Yeah don’t think Neil will be using them again after this … although he’s already paid for it now 😂😂😂

[@manwithnovan]

I see the dogs love a good run around in the morning

[@UrbanVanlife]

Yes they do love a good wander about!!

[@olliemilburn4842]

Got banned from local supermarket due that thing. 2 people talking about why there left toenail not curved right and my cat did 2 fur balls instead of one..please move .they didn't. So I went through anyway tipping there trollies over so people can do what your ment to do in a shop. Buy food and leave..it AINT THE SOCIAL CLUB.

[@UrbanVanlife]

I think people genuinely forget where they are sometimes, I was in there for at least an extra 25 minutes that I didn’t need to be because of people blocking the isles, if you want to have a conversation fine just don’t block other people from doing what they want to do … and what the shop is designed for …. buying their supplies 😂😂 I was a bit calmer than you when inside the shop though, after getting the death stare off the first couple of people i just walked around them and through different isles!

[@alanhat5252]

Shops always have been a social scene but it doesn't work with trolleys 😢

[@richardheath8246]

The other thing is the use of supermarkets as the local playground for screaming ankle biters running around uncontrollably. We now have ours delivered (the shopping not the ankle biters!) as we can't be doing with it all being too "peoply" (really cheap delivery charge if you have a late evening slot & saves money overall as you don't have those impulse buys).

[@UrbanVanlife]

Ankle-biters delivery 😂😂😂

[@andysteptoe6310]

Emma, Reigate is notorious for that sort of thing. People having social gatherings in the aisles. We had a Morrisons in Crawley with aisles like a motorway ( no kidding there) but they've shut it down😮

[@eddiesmallhorn4021]

A whole video with Emma in chipmunk voice, must needed.

[@UrbanVanlife]

Mr Eddie 😂😂😂

[@alanhat5252]

10:25 less of the squeaky please, it's rude & doubly rude as she's answering you about how rude other people are. 😢

He’s just bantering me as I was moaning about something, I haven’t taken any offence, he has a cheeky sense of humour 😊
