    I am worried about Ame, she seems to be quite down recently, with fewer posts and less enthusiasm. Even in her appearances in the background of your videos she seems far more insular and negative. Previously she has been bouncing along in the background. It is almost like a personality swap, an often underrated indication of a dangerous depression as those suffering will often mask symptoms to those close to them. Giving the underlying changes that you cannot just put a finger on. I have been aware before of her being in dark places as both of my sisters suffer with every level of depression up to the very severe suicidal. They have struggled with it for over 40 years. You notice the signs just in the language and demeanour subtle as they are for even deep depression. It is a dulling of the vitality and life force a numbing to stimuli and it can crash to the extreme very quickly. Please keep her close so you can watch over her.

    Rob and Charlotte, I so enjoy your weekly (for the most part) videos, chronicling your full time van life. You, and your Daughter’s Channel are what I most look forward to viewing each week, and both played a major part in my decision to transition to full time van life as well, here in the New England portion of the U.S. Many blessings go out for your whole family, I strangely feel as if I am a part of your extended family as well, because your channels have shaped much of my daily van life routine. Many, many thanks. Michael

    Regarding your allen key problem, yes there is a SAE version in addition to Metric. Both are slightly different sizes. You might want to inspect the screws to be sure they arn't "star" screws or even Phillips (more variations). Hope this helps.

    You beat me to it, yes imperial and metric hex keys are indeed slightly different, they maybe "torx" set screws as you mentioned, but at a push hex key's can fit torx head screws and vice versa. 👍

    Hint: much easier to use 1/4' hex screwdriver bits than L shaped keys. Screwdriver hand grip allows more torque and perpendicular bit angle to screw alignment is better controlled, less likely to strip screw head.

    11:36 - I live near Cambridge, there is a town called Ely - I do not know how many, but many vans hit a train bridge many times, even though there are signs clearly stating the bridge does not allow tall vans or trucks getting through, this is why not long time ago there was a bypass made to get around the bridge... Still from time to time vans are smashing the bridge and causing disruption to other cars and eventually it may cause trouble to trains as well...

You are a great couple, such nice people, the main attraction of this show even beyond van-life and the little doggies and the beautiful scenery you visit and adventure across ♥A nice plan to do a little tour, hope to see a few little glimpses in future YT vids or keep it private just for you two.

    Hi you 100% need a torx key set to take the fan off. You need separate keys not one of the multi tool type as the key needs to get in at 90degrees just below the fan block. Make sure you locate the “flat” when putting it back on the spindle. I have sone both of mine twice.

Can't we all just get along in 2024..LOL You should post a photo of what you two looked like when you met. That would be so cool. Bet you two are excited about the summer olympics coming to Paris France this year. Pretty much in your backyard. Do you plan staying close by for the experience or running for the hills to avoid the chaos. Either way it should bring a lot of excitement to your area of travel.

    When I drove the plaster truck, I had a sticker stuck to the dash with "4.3m" written on it between two vertical arrows up and down. This was the max height of the truck empty and it meant you didn't have to remember the height of the truck coming up to low bridges and it came in very handy. Also the max width was written too but I doubt that'd be a factor for vans or maybe I'm wrong?
