Winter Van Life Diary | Full Time UK Van Living

This week is a winter van life diary. We full-time van life in the UK and right now it's freezing in Scotland. We show you some of the best park-ups for winter van life in Scotland. Plus find out what our next road trip will be and everything in between.
Even some harsh van life problems and realities 😹.
We've lived in the UK full-time in our 1989 Talbot Express Campervan for the past 7 months. And she needs to head into the garage for a little TLC. But how do you handle that with a cat and a dog?
Join us in this week’s van life vlog as we winter van life in Scotland and tell why you should head to Scotland to vanlife.
From the roads, facilities and showers to wildlife and friendly attitudes. This is the best place to van life in the UK, whether that is in the Spring, Summer, Autumn or even Winter.

Who are Trist and Kez
We’re Trist and Kez, a couple in their 40’s. We’ve sold everything for a life on the road. Come and join us as we show you our Van life UK Travel Series. We show the best spots for van camping, hiking and exploring, from the countryside to the coastline of our home island.
👫🐶 Our aim as (another) van life couple (and our dog and cat) is to document each UK road trip we take, sharing tips and tricks for van camping in the UK. In summary, we want everyone to be able to access the magic that van life UK opens to us all. Adventures in the great outdoors. We also appreciate that travelling in a van with a dog isn't always the easiest, therefore everywhere we share is 100% dog-friendly.

Great video and found you by chance. We live in Scotland and about to go full time in our motorhome. Had some great walking and climbing epics in Glencoe over the years. People tend to be more winter aware in Scotland than down south. We are from Yorkshire originally. Look forward to the next video. Thanks Dave

[@TristandKez]

Hey Dave, we’re glad you did find us by chance 🤗. That’s awesome to hear. Scotland is by far our favourite place to travel in the UK. And perfect for full time. We’ve been back down south England and it’s been way harder 😂🤣. Glencoe is amazing isn’t it. I feel like we’ve only dipped our toe in. Always something new to do when we return. Haha yes I think that’s true. Down south we really don’t have to deal with any extreme weather conditions. Scotland seems way more equipped… in many ways lol. New video coming soon. Have a great Sunday Dave… 😎🤙🏽

I’d love a van tour 😢❤❤ new subscriber xx

[@TristandKez]

Thanks for subscribing. Van tour coming soon 😎🤙🏽

[@Happy_Limpet]

might be a good option to have a demountable truck camper at times , 1 could stay on site with animals while truck gets fixed if needed , but no stealth aspect really ..

[@TristandKez]

Interesting idea 😎. Manage to make it through the garage trip. Frank went for a very long walk 🤣

[@11Daniel2k]

great videos guys keep it up, got a sub from me you deserve a lot more.

[@TristandKez]

Thanks so much 🤙🏽. Really glad you’re liking our videos. Hope we keep you entertained 😎. More coming soon 🎥

[@samfletcher222]

great vid and im looking at talbot motorhomes as they are cheap but good nick for age and non turbo ,no faff mechanics ie no sensors for everything ,very steady ideal tbh what are your thoughts on the van my favourite place is glencoe area it steals yer heart its hard to leave scenery and nature at its best cant wait to return cheers sam

[@TristandKez]

We love out Talbot Express. Ours is very simple under the bonnet. Our mechanic said any decent mechanic around the world should be able to keep her going. As shes not too complicated. She has everything we need inside too 🤗. Glencoe is so special isn’t it. Still in awe every time we’re here. Hope you get an awesome Talbot and can hit the road 😎🤙🏽

[@samfletcher222]

@@TristandKez thanks for reply ,good tip from your mechanic ,and home from home inside, posh camping i call it ,glencoe is special ,ive got 2 vans in mind tabot and a leisure drive vivante t4 both great vans t4 smaller but can be a daily drive as well and the talbot aint too bad with size a bit more thirsty but both non turbo and steady enjoy your travels your van looks a good un as well cheers sam

[@TristandKez]

We loved our T5, but that was way more modern than Old Gertie 😂. They both sound great. Hope you get the one you want. Have an awesome day 😎🤙🏽

[@zafiracamper]

So lovely and free….until the cat drops a stinker 😂😂

[@TristandKez]

Freedom comes at a cost. A brutal price for our noses to pay each day 🙈😳😂. Other than that he’s a pleasure in the van 😸

[@zafiracamper]

@@TristandKez 😂😂 did I ever tell you that I checked out Brit stops after you mentioned it a while back … sadly not for car campers 😭😭

[@TristandKez]

Yeah we’d seen that recently on their website. Shame as they’ve come in real handy for us. Tbh there’s hardly any Britstops in Scotland but I guess there’s so many places to stay 😎🤙🏽

[@ewanstevenson]

Trust me, you don't know the meaning of stink until you've had to drive back home in a Mini with a (rather pleased with himself) golden retriever that's just rolled in fox poo! 🤢😫🤣

[@TristandKez]

No way, I hear fox poo is next level😬. I can see his face now 😂. Massive smile with no understanding of what he’s done. They are lovely dogs btw 😍. Also are we talking an original Mini, as that would be very tight…😰

[@ewanstevenson]

@@TristandKez Next level? Boss level! It was a Mini Metro, so maybe a wee bit more spacious! Either way, I drove home with my head out the window! 🤣

[@TristandKez]

Oooo that does sound grime. Hoping Frank never gives us this pleasure😂. Although the daily scent from his bottom is a killer lol. Mini metro… love it. A mate of mine had one when we were all just driving. We had a few original minis growing up. Good times 😎
