Great video Rick,it was so good to see the trinity back together again.Also about the bed,there is so much space now.Lowering the bed was very smart,good job 👍

[@WormsEyeView]

Pigeon alarm clock! Love it. Wow that's some impressive drone kit!! 😮

[@alison7974]

Fantastic video Rick! Great to see you all back camping together again. Can’t believe the difference lowering the bed has made to the feeling of space! The latest mods look great 😊🙌🏻 🎉

[@minortinkering]

Another Fantastic video Rick as I said to Damon it’s so good to see you all together again. A productive and fun weekend looks like you had a blast mate 😊👍

[@ninatheambulancecamper]

Thank you so much for helping me get that job done, it’s going to be so useful going forward. Lovely weekend again, and I’ll never get bored of seeing pizza night lol. Guen is looking great ! Was so good to see Austin again 😊

[@rickvanman]

@@ninatheambulancecamper no worries mate, I kind of enjoyed it, nice to roll the sleeves up and get stuck into a fun project every now and again. Yeah was great to see Austin, hope he can make it to camp soon 👍

[@Baron-Bagaten]

Hi Damian, I'm still flying a DJI Phantom. What make and model name is the one in this video 20k range is insane !. Want the same too.

[@ninatheambulancecamper]

@@Baron-Bagaten Hi, it’s the DJI Mini 4 Pro. It’s got so many more features than any of my previous drones. To go to that from a Phantom will be a massive upgrade. The Mini Pro 3 is also a great drone and very similar but has a range of 8km rather than 20km. Good luck with your purchase :)

[@Steve-Owens]

Great to see you all having fun Damon.... Loved seeing the birds released 🕊

[@WormsEyeView]

Amazing Rick. Looks so good. I am thinking of remodeling Spog again. It will involve a high bed across the back with dog crate under it. But I meed to do a load of designing!

[@MarcusTDM]

Great video as always Rick. The alterations to Guinevere have worked out great. Am watching your video currently camping in Cornwall!

[@normatrodd6666]

Smashing video Rick, I was so lost in it that when the plate of pizza topping starting slipping off the table I reached out to grab it 😂 loved those pigeons on the roof, the young seagulls being released, just magic and of course the dogs. Nice to see Austin again too.I always enjoy seeing your friends they are so special. Thanks for a lovely watch xx

[@rickvanman]

Fantastic! Glad you enjoyed it, Norma 😊👍❤️

[@bmk8018]

great job on the redesign. definitely looks more cozy

[@EA-58]

Great vid Rick and yesssss Good to see Austin again 👍

[@ricksallotment5923]

Wholesome vid in these dark times and it's good your breaking out the house 👍

[@Christophers-Assorted-Stuff]

Hi Rick, I watched Damons video where you rode Austins scooter and left a comment there where I said he hadn't shown us it before, - well, thanks to your video I now know all about it. It looks a big bike for a 125, it also looks like it would be quite comfortable to ride. I have a Gilera ST200 myself which is not bad to ride but it doesn't feel that soft on the suspension really. I like the new van layout. I prefer the cushions to have a wooden underside rather than slats across the base. I think it gives more room and possibly saves on weight although I am not sure about that. The electric hob looks like a good idea if you have enough power to run it - which seems to be the case. I hope those mice have kept away since you last had the damage repaired!

[@Duchess_of_Cadishead]

Great video Rick. Awesome jobs on Gruen and Damon’s field.

[@bradleyelliott3873]

success! well done - so great to see so many good ideas and surprises work out in the wild

[@seanjamescameron]

Request video: a walk through of the van electrics - could be something that can be used in cabins/sheds. Thanks.

[@Dans_digs]

The picture of your house 😂😂 awesome video as always mate!

[@simplifygardening]

The 20k is a bit of a mute point now Rick. The new drone rules state you have to have a line of sight so even though under 250g if you fly where you cant see it your in breech of the new rules. Also I didn't see his flier ID on the drone which it has to be.

[@ninatheambulancecamper]

‘He’ has the flyer ID on three sides of the drone and on each battery. I’m fully aware of the law, the point with the 20k is that it’s a more solid connection. When I had my Phantom and Mavic Pro, both drones could easily lose connection even right above my head, both using a phone. This new one with the RC2 controller is pretty remarkable.

[@pa_maj.MARTINI-van-MAN]

Good show Rick. Pizza before bed usually gives me indigestion, The pizza did look yummy though.

[@garytranter2553]

Nice to see austin Must do it more often

[@wimpkins]

Great video Rick. Nice to see the old team back camping

[@didisinclair3605]

Looked like a fantastic weekend, Rick!! I could almost taste that pizza!!!!

[@iansmith2693]

Looked like a great weekend , Maybe a camping flagpole with a hawk kite will scare the pigeons ,

[@marysmith5015]

For the pillow issue, why do you get a long chunky pool noodle and wrap some fabric around it to stop your main pillow from falling!! Absolutely love the updates to the van! Look much more versatile for you to use!!

[@rickvanman]

@@marysmith5015 nice idea! Thanks for sharing 👍

[@Liofa73]

Maybe put two hooks up to hold the bed up when you're rummaging around, if one fails the other will save you a crack on the head or back. Cable ties can stretch under load, there's a chance they might fail. :)

[@rickvanman]

@@Liofa73 nice idea, thanks for sharing, I may actually do that 👍

[@irenepotter2709]

Hi Rick, nice to see you all. Where did you get the foam mug, plate and cutlery holders please?

[@rickvanman]

@@irenepotter2709 Hi Irene, they all came from Amazon : amzn.eu/d/0eFOVFYt

[@irenepotter2709]

What a brilliant idea, thanks Rick 😃

[@leesmith9299]

i try to reserve pizza for lunch. anytime after 2pm ish and it keeps me up all night digesting the dough. drinking a good few gulps of water when i wake up in the middle of the night helps it though.

[@colinthornton5851]

Hi Rick first time on here, enjoying some the handy gadgets you use , could please tell me what the solar generator is and the induction hob please, , we have very limited space, in our micro camper, Colin

[@rickvanman]

Induction hob is here: amzn.eu/d/6gpvapX Not sure what you mean regarding a solar generator, I just use solar panels with a Ctek charge controller on the van.

[@MPGaurhier]

😇

[@jeanetteswift1]

Who owns the field? Did you have to get permission to dig the trench?

[@rickvanman]

Damon & Jen own it 👍

[@eprohoda]

Rickvanman. yeah! unusual video-work~ ✋

[@malosloatgamil]

Love the video, love the music and the joy! Thanks for sharing!
