Just to add to your gas guide, there are two different vehicle fittings, M22 and M10 where the adaptor screws into an outside vehicle outlet, or bottle, we didn’t realise and had to get the right set of adaptors couriered out to France. The kits come as a set of 4, have used 3 in Europe and 1 fits the lpg/ propane pumps in the USA where we are at the moment with our U.K. camper.

We’re still “trouble shooting”

If you are going to Jutland I recommend going on north to Skagen the northern most tip. There you can ride a sand wagon from car park to ocean. There are old bunkers to explore if you are into history. If you go to Copenhagen I would recommend parking at a S train station in a suburb and take that to central station to avoid traffic and parking in city. The buses are good to get you around. We once drove to Sweden and took the high speed ferry to Bornholm island. You also may want to the smoked herring. If you get to Køge we have enjoyed Restaurant Arken at the harbor.Mons Klint are some cliffs to visit but wear good shoes for climbing stairs My wife is from Olgod in Jutland.

I'm guessing you don't use to much gas hence the one refillable, But it would be interesting what sort of response you get throughout Europe, because I know in France some petrol stations would be unhappy about filling a bottle, I know it is ok, but filling bottles has got a bit of a bad name here and many stations have signs saying no bottle filling on the pumps. (I know it's for the non refillable ones but the attendants would not know the difference and would just prefer to stop you). I Have the Gaslow and the filling point is on the outside of the van (so don't have to open the door), yet I have been stopped in Italy, Total stations have banned all motorhomes from filling btw. Great to see you guys back on the road, safe travels.

Ah I love this. I am doing this too - but in regards to Smarty why you not got Starlink roam? £300 for the kit and £95 a month all over Europe. I have it and although you can't use it on the go (that's more expensive kit) it's good anywhere you stop. Ans you can pause the subs when you don't need to use it so it's not a constant thing

Жыл бұрын

Hey Pete. I’m guessing you’re new to our channel and haven’t watched last summers road trip to Albania? We bought the Starlink RV as soon as it came out and took it with us on last summers road trip. It worked well, although a bit of a faff getting it up and down each time we stop and move on, which is usually daily. As you say it’s expensive so we paused it when we got back and still have it in the van with us to switch on when needed, but for this trip we’ve just paid the £7 for 3 days unlimited data with Smarty and it’s also been easy for the boys when driving they can just surf and watch videos with no problem. We may switch our Starlink back on for our trip to Morocco this summer but that’s an area that has no service so it may not work, but it wasn’t meant to work in Albania and Montenegro last summer and it did so we may get lucky.

Have to ask but why not to cross the on North Sea ferry to Holland? Interesting video. Subbed and liked.
