Oh NO Not AGAIN ! - France Van Life - Pt 7

#vanlife #campingcar #offgrid #campervan
Embark on a journey with Getaway Geese as we wander through the charming streets of historic Douai. As the summer heat intensifies, follow Stew's brilliant homemade hacks that unexpectedly become our saviors. A visit to Le Quesnoy adds another layer to our adventure, but the allure of a serene rural spot captivates us for an extended stay. Join us for a walk around the fortifications, encounter unexpected hornet neighbors, and experience a night filled with mysterious knocking sounds against our trusty camper van, Harry. It's a tale of history, hacks, and surprises in the heart of France! 🚐☀️🏰

    Stew, that made me laugh out loud! Cattle wrangling obviously not on your extensive résumé 😂. Interesting to see how you got on in the heat, top tips with the shade and fan. Does Harry have air conditioning? Guessing it would only work while the engine is running. Is there an optimum time you could realistically spend on the road in very hot weather?

    Thanks - cow talk was not on my college course 😂. Yep air con only when the engine is running and impractical to install as would use so much battery power Re travelling - I don’t know to be honest I am guessing in the 30’s driving is hot but with air con doable but then parking up you need doors open and a breeze ideally so I could see day after day it would be uncomfortable. Fridge would I am sure struggle

    Hi Guys, Random question alert! We’re new to your channel so apologise if you’ve already answered this in an earlier vid. We too have an auto camper MRV called Vic 😊 (less than a year in for us). In this video I noticed a collection of hooks hung above the side passenger door - super useful; are they magnetic? There seems to be loads on Amazon but I’d be really interested in your recommendation if you have a link? Also, while I’m being inspired by your experience….. what is that cooking thingy that the chicken was cooked in? Looked like some sort of folding trivet?? Love your videos, I’m the Camper van keener in our house and your tips are helping me to convince the other half to be more daring 😂
