First Trip of the Year - VW T4 Camper Van - Plans for 2023 - Forest Walks & Wellies

The first outing in the VW T4 camper van in 2023 - a short trip out to a local nature reserve and reservoir for a nice walk and to give the van a good run!
My wife and I pop out and don our Hunter wellies for a nice walk through the woods as I discuss the plans for 2023.
We also test out the off road buggy by Hauck - perfect for those who camp out in a van as a family!
Til next time!

    The smoke is because you didn't the glow plugs warm up properly, let that orange light go out first

    With regards to Snowden, I've stayed at Dolgam Campsite twice now, it's, a few miles west of Betws-y-Coed. Electric hook up etc. Simple toilet/shower block. No frills but cheap & scenic. Owned by the farm house over the road 👍 Me dmy brother & law stayed there to do some mountain biking.

    Let the orange light on the right on the clock cluster go off before turning the key fully, that light is so the glow plugs can warn up, once it turns off then turn the key to fire up the engine on, and it will start a lot better

    Great tip Karl - ok, will check that out! The smoke clears very shortly after I assumed it’s because it’s sat for ages. Thank you!

    Where you off to in the Cotswolds? Bourton on the water is a lovely village but gets stupidly busy with tourists

    So far we’ve booked Berrends Farm which is actually closer to Malvern Hills but a short-ish drive to the Cotswolds area. We’re there for a few nights and then thinking of extending the stay to a site deeper within the Cotswolds! Will check out your suggestion!

    If the engine is warm that orange light may not turn on, don't worry it's normal, most of the time it will turn on before starting, thought I'd share that with you. ... I know the t4s quite well as I have one myself

    Hi, just been watching another one of your great videos 👍 Just wondered if you’re on Instagram? Alton Water is also around half an hour from me to 👍

    Yes we’re thehappycampers2 on Instagram but in honesty, don’t keep up with it so it’s fell a bit redundant now! Thanks for watching!! Have you camped at Alton Water? We want to give it a try!
