VANLIFE - It was all going so well, then...

[@markhutchings8281]

Hi guys love the channel, I’ve never commented before but today I felt I needed to, I was the guy on the motorcycle waving like a fool 😉👍🏻 I don’t know if you could work out what I was trying to say but it was that I’m a subscriber, made my day to spot you just wish I’d actually got the chance to meet you and have a chat, take care guys!😀👍🏻👍🏻

[@OurVanTales]

Oh mate you made our day nearly “meeting you”. We were just glad you didn’t fall off giving us some love 😉 much love back at ya 🥰👊🏼

[@sammies28]

You wouldn’t believe it now but the sand dunes used to be that good at Porthtowan. You like that place now, you would have loved it 20 years ago xx

[@OurVanTales]

No way! That’s fascinating 🥰

[@alexbraid8700]

Really enjoying your videos. You have my subscription

[@OurVanTales]

Cheers Alex mate! 👊🏼

That was Littlestone, parents had a holiday bunglow on the coast road just up from there, your very near Dungerness power station, they actually make a lot of films all around that area.

[@mdigiman]

Fantastic videos can't stop binge watching as im sat in my vw. You two are such a lovely couple, love you both and stay safe.

[@OurVanTales]

Awe, BIG LOVE right back at you too! 🫶🙌

[@stewartsmith9147]

Hi Andy n Lindsey Sill enjoy watching your clips . Even though I got the brush off the other week in castleton.😂😅 😆 😊 This one in particular , your park up that you returned to for a second night we have stopped at. How would have thought you could park there ? In front of million pound houses . We were lucky when we stopped there passing through. Coz there was an ice cream van parked The misses was well chuffed. Happy travels Gezzer

[@OurVanTales]

Mate, so sorry if I didn’t see ya 🤭 Look forward to next time 🥰🙌

I used to holiday in Littlestone as a child.

We bet that was great! We noticed a miniature railway which we guess is seasonal 🤷‍♂️

Only recently found your channel and must confess to a bit of binge watching as you've visited a lot fo places we're going this year. Love the production, banter, silliness, the van and of course Blue - Griff would love to tear up a few beeches with him I'm sure! Looking forward to more.

[@OurVanTales]

Thanks so much! Glad you found us & let’s hope we catch up on the road 🥰🙌

Owen at Autoterm is a top bloke. Just becareful putting the controller in the cupboard as depending on where you have the temperature reading, you won't be getting the room temperature but the temperature inside the cupboard. May need to adjust your settings 👍

[@OurVanTales]

Yeah, top tip that someone else mentioned too that we hadn’t thought of. I think we just need to accept the variable & do it anyway just to get it out of the way of potential damage 😉🙌

[@Setinmywaysalways]

It seems there are more and more places lately, that are not allowing overnight parking.

[@OurVanTales]

It’s so sad & so controlling. Freedom of movement is being eroded away in front of our eyes 😞

[@Setinmywaysalways]

[@OurVanTales]

That’s amazing Joe, look forward to meeting you mate! 🥰👊🏼

[@Ash-ck4iz]

Hi, you sure you wanna put the control out the way in a cupboard? I'm sure the control panel is a thermostat as well, meaning if in the cupboard it won't work properly.

[@OurVanTales]

Yeah think you might be right…Good thinking! Cheers for the heads up, I’m literally re-wiring now. 😉🤭

[@OutVanAbout]

Love your content. Any chance of a kit video. I’d love to see what cameras, drone and anything else you used to make videos.

[@OurVanTales]

Hi Peter, thank you mate. I’m a wedding photographer by trade and took time out to travel when all our lives got cancelled a few years back. I thought I’d be back to weddings by now but I’m enjoying the travel (whilst we’re ‘still allowed’ by the govt chumps) and the simple life too much to stop!🤭

Hello Andy and Lyndsey , great video , nice to see Andy you can spend a bit of self quality time with bleu. Bleu was able to wee into sea as to how close you were 😁. Hope your healing work went well Lyndsey you're are empathetic , sites are always good for the little luxuries. Kindness is the best option, nature gives us everything , people gives us the Inbetweeners. Chop chop , great saying. Lots of booty sand. That part of East Sussex/ Kent , full of smugglers nocks and crannies , Stay safe peeps, safe travels, toodle pip.

[@regnbean67]

Hi Andy loving the videos as usual. Seems you have a good knack of finding some good spot to stay. Quick question - I believe you mentioned in one of your earlier blogs that you attended a ‘Campervan Electrics Course’. Can you let me know the details as I would be keen to attend something similar myself? TIA PS keep up the good work 😎👍

[@OurVanTales]

Thank you 🙏🏻 Funnily enough, I’m camping this weekend with the guy that runs the course a few times a year. You can find him on Instagram -‘unimpressedjeff’ (Adrian). He’s typically building Overland Rigs for clients but puts on 12v electrical courses for people in between 🙌

[@regnbean67]

@@OurVanTales Hi Andy. Many thanks for the prompt reply. Much appreciated. I’ll touch based with Adrian in due course. Safe travels 😎👍

[@DavieMacTunes]

There are so many "No Overnight Parking" places in Scotland too, especially down the east coast from Dundee right down to the border. They want to herd everyone into campsites, which I hate. A couple of times I've used the old "sorry officer, I'm too tired to drive any further" & got away with it, but most of the parking spots also have height restrictions, so you can't even get a van in there. They say they want to encourage tourism, but it seems to be only on their terms. In Scotland, you can wild camp anywhere, but if you're in a van you don't have the same rights. (Roy Castle's lucky he didn't live to see hundreds of tourists turning up at his door due to Satnav misdirection :D). Happy travels.

Thank you so much and all the best to you too fella 👊🏼🥰

The idea that you can live anywhere that doesn't require maintenance is a poor assumption. Cars need maintenance, boats need maintenance, houses need maintenance and relationships need maintenance. Expect things to break and then when they do you won't be so upset.
