Adz we’ve found some bloody corkers. You need to get out to Europe and shoot some videos, it’s fantastic out here. We’re slowly making our way back now, today we left Croatia and arrived in Slovenia but we only have 10 days of our holiday left and I still have 6 more videos to make! Let’s try and have a catch-up when we’re back mate.

Fantastic vlog again what a fantastic site perfect on the beach, have you thought about fixing the awning legs to the van side using the thule brackets, ideal if you can't peg them down if on concrete or tarmac, we have had them in all of our motorhomes and never had a problem, a very useful bit n if thule kit. Keep up the good work 👌👌
Is staying in lots of different places what you enjoy. I often wonder if you must get a little fed up of continuously setting up and packing up for one night stops. It’s a great job you’ve the motorhome as so much is already stored and packed in with great ‘garage’ space for your outdoor set up. Love your vlogs. Hope the wee man is feeling better now.

When you've fitted your self-levelling, you'll still require some blocks to prevent the jacks from sinking into sand or any ground that's a bit squidgy, even with the larger E&P discs. We currently use sections of 8"x2" roofing timber blocks however, we're on the look-out for something a lot lighter and easier to maintain, and with a larger footprint to displace the weight. If you find anything suitable, then please add a link.

We have had our E&P system since March and have used them a lot including on grass and sand with no sinkage issues. We may have been lucky. We have a PVC so limited room therefore we try to make sure things have more than one use. That makes me think of maybe having a couple of large plastic cutting boards ready to use - just in case? However, my guess is that if the discs start to sink then we would probably have difficulty moving the van in any case as we have road-orientated tyres so we would be careful where we parked ;-)

@@briansussex We had a situation once when we parked on a rather steep field and stacked quite a few sections of timber under the jacks. When it came to move we discovered that the rear N/S jack wasn't able to provide clearance from the timber, so we were unable to move. To resolve the issue I placed a section of wood under the tyre, to give us more clearance. Our problem was solved, but I did get concerned momentarily.

Hi Guys, I've watched you're video and think you're great. I had a thought it might be out there but I wondered when you have days where either the weather is bad or circumstance. What do you all do for exercise. I've seen portable motorised treadmills have you ever thought of using them or what do you do day to day?

Probably not as we could charge when on the campsite. But having owned electric cars for 6 years now I can assure you the infrastructure is just fine throughout the UK and Europe, especially the Tesla Superchargers, and since they’re now opening them up to other electric vehicles the future of electric car charging is looking good 👍
