Thanks for covering time on the ship, its as important as the places you visit for anyone looking to do the same thing as you. Thanks again, great video once more.

Those bells sneaking in at the end of one of Lynsay's pieces about Porto and Lyndsay's reaction was priceless ? I needed this after a short hospital stay where I was in absolute agony. Thankfully the doctors put me right. You take care guys, Graham 🤗❤

    Morning Anders. There are many groups on Facebook to chat about campervans, that’s what we use. We find that right here in the comments section on KZread is good place to chat with our subscribers. We’re probably not the best people to get advice for things like fitting solar to your van as we’d just get someone else to fit it for us as I’m not very hands on myself mate. Lyndsay laughs at me as I’ll get one of the guys from work to help fit a shelf at home! Have a great day mate.
