I loved your last answer Ben, the inner work is so important. I’ve been blessed to have had a dark night of the soul. Questioned everything and am now rebuilding my life from the inside out. I probably don’t look as successful to joe bloggs but I don’t care because I feel more aligned and that makes everything feel so much more full ❤

It looks like a gorgeous area! What a great first park up! Congratulations on your new vanlife home. 🚐

10:15 If you can place one on the floor try to find one of those water catchment trays for washing machines and build a ply box around it. It makes for a wonderful seating shower tray if you can get someone to bend you a curtain rail to match the square 70x70cm tray. two shower curtains will provide enough protection against a flooded interior... We use one for a couple of months now, a bucket and a modified bottle with lots of holes is our warm water supply...

I would trade places with you guys for the rain in Wales over the Texas summer heat with no end in sight! The campground and the view are very nice. I’ve been meaning to ask you but do you guys have a back up camera for your van? I see that there’s a wall panel behind the front cab so backing out of parking spaces might be a struggle.

@2Passports1Dream

11 ай бұрын

Hehe please send us some Texas sunshine! 🤗☀️ lucky we do have a backing up camera (it would be impossible otherwise 😅) and it helps a lot!

Beautiful campsites but in all the videos I watch from people traveling around Europe no one ever mentions prices, I think it would be great to know how much a campsite is to help our planning. I plan to spend a while traveling through the UK but have no idea of campsite prices. Keep an eye on the radiator fluid, it means it's losing water, either leaking or (I hope not) through the engine which will mean a costly repair.

Hello! Ah yes good point! The camp grounds that we’ve stayed in so far average at around 35£ per night, for a hard pitch with electric hook up! For two people. I think sometimes you pay less if you’re solo (and also additional costs for dogs!) Hope that helps!!
