Made me so happy watching Wilf bouncing through the grass. From a rescue dog to a happy pup having the time of his life. He is so lucky he found you xxx

Aww thank you, 🐾🐾🐾❤️❤️ he is an adorable loving little man 🙂💖

So pleased you got to experience the light show in Chartres! It is stunning ❤

Amazing light show!

[@redsgotravels]

It really was , and to see it first hand was amazing ❤️❤️🙂

[@Sarahmatthews167]

Thankyou both for taking us along. The vet was a good find 👍🏻 Wilf is such a good boy running off lead and less reactivity. I think it’s probably down to feeling more secure with you guys (as well as the cheese 😜) Park ups have been amazing and free electric was a bonus 😲 I’ve been thinking of you in that heat but glad the maxi fans have been working well. Ours has suddenly stopped 🥵 already looking forward to the next vlog x

[@redsgotravels]

I hope it’s because he’s feeling settled, he seems to love us very much, he’s a little Velcro dog! Sorry to hear about your fan, what a nightmare

[@sallyhumphreys2714]

My three Papillons are similar. Hazel is independent while Penny and little Brooklyn are always together. Brooklyn turns to Penny for moral support and security. 💖 so similar to young Wilf, Poppy. Wow ! What a light show! Loved it. Thank you for sharing.

[@redsgotravels]

The light show was amazing 🙂👌 and little Wilf has brought us so much xx ❤️💖 Thankyou for watching and supporting x

[@TheMinimalistTherapist]

Loved this ❤ You are really making the most of all your modifications now, great to see! I had no idea some of the French Aires are free, thats amazing 🎉 great way to get support into the local towns. One of the vanlifers I follow said there are issues with crime around aires, but they were staying in what looked more like a large motorway services, not like these lovely little places you've found, these look lovely, and space to be able to walk the dogs before you hit the road too. Was the sound and light show in Chartres loud enough to worry the dogs? One of ours doesn’t like boomie noises. Looking forward to the next video of dog travel tips! Great!

[@redsgotravels]

Good evening ! Yes, avoid motorway aires, this town aire is so much better and safer ❤️❤️ the dogs were great 🐾🐾🐾❤️ the music was quite low , no loud bangs, so really suitable for them xx

I recall you had to walk back from the light show in the dark. We always carry a high power LED torch at night. We got a Shadowhawk, LED Super Bright torch that is USB rechargeable from Amazon for about £25. It’s a hand torch for Dog Walking and Camping. Some of them come with a belt pouch and if you turn it on in Bridgend you can see it from Pen Y Fan.

A brilliant start young Redders's , I'm keeping a close eye on your route as I think it's very similar to ours . Love Chartre and always make a point of staying in that same aire you were in but as yet have never seen the illuminations , must do it when we come down this year . Just keep a close eye on the dogs this time , no running around getting them stitched up at the vets , although we did nearly catch you up on the way down . Have a great onward trip , cos when you come back , we'll be getting ready to go . Take care and love from us old Redders's .

What a wonderful park up Pacy-Sur-Eure Free Aire is next to the Chemin de Fer de la Vallee de l'Eure (Eure Valley Railway) is. We were there beginning of May, on our way to the U.K. it’s a shame you didn’t go on the train though. We travelled from North Valencia to U.K. We stayed on Aires the whole way up to the tunnel didn’t go on one toll road. Enjoy your trip

Ok where do I start? You need to take Wilf back to the Vet and ask if he is really a dog or a Gazelle. Loved the railway park up. That’s a bit of me that is ❤ all those years of experience climbing on roofs for the Fire service paid off for cleaning those Solar panels (just realised I need to clean ours too). That is not a real train at the light show. It’s one of those fake ones like Van Love 😂 the light show was awesome. Glad you are having a good time ❤❤

Good to watch Motorhome vlogs where you are actually travelling in and using your van. Looking forward to the trip. Did you avoid Rouen? We have a similar age van but not Euro compliant and so far travelled through Rouen keeping to main road. Would be interested if you know a good alternative bypass.

We take the tunnel into Rouen from the Calais side, then cross the bridge on the other side, turning left and through the industrial area. Keeps you away from the centre and the Ulez.

That’s a great tip about the vets, we’re doing our first European trip next year and I was thinking about Abbeywell for the AHC’s but was concerned about parking the Motorhome as my wife is disabled so I would be taking the dogs in, I’ll also be keeping an eye on your budget travels being a tight Yorkshire man.

Once in Europe we got our dogs two pet passports from the vet in Brugge Lieve Ryiek spelling might be wrong. The vet explained she was doing nothing illegal. The pet passport allows for 18 visits to Europe with the proviso you get the rabis injection done in Europe every three years. Hope this helps. Pet passports were a fraction of the AHC.

Hi Jayne, It’s even easier than that! At the point of check in, they pass you a scanner and you do it yourself. Don’t even need to get the dogs out of the van. Ours much prefer it as they didn’t like pet reception on the tunnel (I think they thought it was a vets waiting room) 👍😂

Hi, A recent new subscriber here, and really enjoying your budget challenge so far as that works out to be a monthly figure I was thinking about the practicalities of keeping within for me and the wife. We're on the look out for a motorhome so we can put it to the test ourselves, so your current series will be really insightful 🙂 Also appreciate the review you did on the Ohrex SatNav, which looks great value. Just wondering if it's possible to change the units from imperial to metric, for those continental trips? Also notice that you have a different mounting for it in this video - was that easy enough to source and what was the issue(s) with the original? Hope you have a great trip and looking forward to the next instalment. Cheers, Martin

[@redsgotravels]

Hi Martin ! Thanks for joining us and happy hunting with the Moho ! 👍 the ohrex does indeed have the option to change units, the original mounting kit was very sturdy, however our drop down bed was the reason it broke ! We now ensure we fold it away before lowering 🤭 we got the replacement holder from Amazon, but the one it comes with is good, just don’t put a bed with 2 people in it on top of it ! ❤️🙂

@@redsgotravels Thanks for the super-swift reply and that sounds like wise advice, which I will be sure to follow. Just watching a previous video of yours about buying a motorhome, which gives some good advice, so thanks for that too! 👍. Take care, Martin

Hi both - couple of questions - what awning do you use - looks like you fit it to the wind-out on the side of your van - any issues with gaps between the van and the awning or is it just a non issue - what’s the minimum number of nights you would need to stay before you go to the trouble of erecting the awning?. Also, what fans are you using ? Thanks - PS Sainsbury’s Bridgend diesel yesterday £140.9 - cheaper in France !

[@Simbadsdad]

Sent the question before you talked fans!! 😊- will look at the old vlog

[@redsgotravels]

Hi, we’ve got a kampa 260 air. No issues with it fitted on the awning, there are places you can fit limpits to sucker it to the van, no problems with wind or rain. We were talking about minimum nights before we would use it and both said for the effort it needs to be 3 nights for us, or 2 nights at a push. We use a maxx air above the bed and a cheap version over the kitchen, they give us a lovely airflow. Sainsbury’s Bridgend is always great for fuel prices!

[@Simbadsdad]

Hi both - saw the maxx air fan. Vlog but what is the fan I can see in the latest vlog you have in the awning

[@redsgotravels]

@Simbadsdad Hi ! The fan in the awning is a rechargeable fan, one from Amazon, the link is amzn.to/3T08clb

Why didn't that car park closer to you at 10:33,is he being unsociable?

[@redsgotravels]

They’d just arrived as we were pulling away , we were on our lonesome all night 🙂👌 maybe the camera angle was giving the wrong impression, all was good 👌

[@colinabrehart5592]

Hi guys. Just catching up with your videos, we've been a bit pre occupied recently as our Greyhound Joy is not very well. Really enjoying your £3000 challenge ( as we do all your vids) Why oh why can't the UK see the benefit of free Aires? Or even low cost ones? 🤷. Loved the light show at Chatre. One for us when we finally get to cross the channel. Keep up the great videos. I've pm'd you re the Tumeric. Colin, Carol & Joy👩‍🦳👩‍🦲🐕🚐👍

[@redsgotravels]

Oh no 😢 hope Joy is ok ? 🐾💖 glad you are enjoying the vlogs, so much more accommodating over here compared to the uk , Chartres is a must see , fantastic light show 🙂 best wishes and speedy recovery to Joy xx

Great light show!

[@redsgotravels]

It was fab wasn’t it .! 👌❤️

[@sallyhumphreys2714]

My three Papillons are similar. Hazel is independent while Penny and little Brooklyn are always together. Brooklyn turns to Penny for moral support and security. 💖 so similar to young Wilf, Pipper. Wow ! What a light show! Loved it. Thank you for sharing.

[@redsgotravels]

Aww thank you , ❤️❤️❤️🙂🙂 really appreciated 🐾🐾🐾💖
