I took all the equipment I.e. dashcams, Go Pros, drone etc etc intending to do a vlog. Enjoyed myself that much I hardly took a photo! No more January's in Uist for us. The van has two solar panels which kept the leisure battery topped up. The mains and diesel heating is superb so no problems at night.

Hi Sue, we only have one dog & he is secured in a dog crate when we’re travelling. He’s a really good traveller, so we are lucky in that respect. Hope that helps & thanks so much for the lovely comment. Em 💜

That van is a perfect substitute for a motorhome. Pat and I would be able to live in it as well as our motorhome. What will you do about the gas bottles when they stop making them. Hard to believe it's 2012, it looks like new. Beautiful van, thank you.

Hi Trevor, thank you for the lovely comment about our van 🚐 we do love ❤️ it to bits 😎. We can get a gas bottle alternative I believe, I can’t remember the name off the top of my head, it was a yellow bottle if my memory serves me right. But our gas lasts well over a year (yes even such a small bottle as it’s only used for cooking). If we’re on EHU we use a small air fryer which helps 😉 I’m sure you and Pat would find it very comfortable, but not sure you’d fancy making the bed up each night 🤭 Glad you enjoyed it, I know you’ve been patiently waiting to see it. Em 💜

@Vans For The Memories I know the yellow bottles. As long as there is an alternative, that's all that matters. I knew it was a bit special, a bit like Ian Hartley vans. We would probably leave the bed made up in the shorter position with us being dwarfs.

Hi, sorry for delay, didn't see your comment.

What sort of dog do you have and where does it sleep and travel?

Hi Tony 👋 Great question, we have a cocker spaniel & he travels in a soft crate, either between the two bench seats at the back or if we have left the back in bed mode, behind my chair (passenger) He sleeps either on the chair, on the bed or if we haven’t made the bed up in his crate. About 1 min. 23 seconds into this video, will give you an idea 😁 Thanks so much for the question, Em 💜kzread.info/dash/bejne/q5iktZmMdK_FdKw.html

@@vansforthememories Moffat is usually our first stop on the way up to the north of Scotland, it feels like the holiday starts there (after our traditional driver swap at Teebay services.. I'm not sure that our dogs would go in a bed like that, they are used to being harnessed into the back passenger seats. The big collie sleaps on the back seats and the collie/whippet cross sleeps on our bed (or in it if he can sneak in when he thinks we're asleep). If our daughter's dog is with us he normally sleeps between our feet. By coincidence, he is a spanner called Charlie but he is a springer.

@@tonysutton6559Yes we love Moffat, we mostly stay at the club site but have stayed at the Green Frog a couple of times too, it’s much cheaper 🤭 I think it’s what they’re used to, Charlie has always been in his crate and he feels quite secure in there and travels well 😎 On occasions where we travel in the car he has a harness & he fidgets a lot, a couple of times he’s stood on the seatbelt clip & freed himself 🤯🙈 So someone has to sit with him, he’s a Houdini 😂 Yes he likes to take over the bed too, that’s why if we sleep in singles he goes in his crate as I’ve actually ended up sleeping on the floor once as he hogged my bed ☺️ What type of van 🚐 do you have? Aww another Charlie spanna, I bet the springer is full of energy 😁 Enjoy the bank holiday 😁 Thanks, Em 💜

@@vansforthememories We've actually got a demountable camper now that sits on top of a double cab d-max pick up truck so that it's like travelling in a car and then you enter the back when you arrive. It's got a massive double bed in the luton over the cab which is why there is also space for dogs. I'm sure that the big collie would try and join us if he was younger and slimmer but he seems happy enough taking up a sofa to himself if it is cold and the floor if it is hot. The beauty of having a demountable is that we can take it off the truck if we are staying anywhere for more than one or two nights and then get to places that would be inaccessible with a normal camper. When we had the VW van I was in the dog house because I would tow my dinghy and go off sailing for hours leaving my wife stuck on the campsites because it was so much hassle to put the pop top down, pack everything away, roll up the awning, unplug the electric etc to nip into town to go shopping and then perform the whole lot in reverse when she got back.
