I had a van like that and had similar probs till I found a good traditional mechanic who found the electrical prob in no time.

A distressing time for you Harley, but it did make a dramatic video. Prosecco better than fudge bars 😊

Trying to look at the bright side John!! 😊 Prosecco always helps but not as much as your fudge bars hahah

Liked seeing your video and hope you get your camper sorted it must be stressful for you.

Aw thank you!! I try not to stress over things I can't control.. sometimes easier said than done lol 😆

Might also be handy to have a jump start pack one you dont have to connect to another vehicle. Xx we have a a screw on our battery when not in use. Unfortunately this is what happens when you have an old van. You coped well in a breakdown situation. It is scary. Xx❤❤ we now have a new battery aswell. We broke down on a trip 5 minutes from home and it was a split water hose.

Yeah I definitely need to purchase one! Aw thanks breaking down was scary especially where it was lol!! Oh no, yeah definitely quirky vans 🤪

New to your channel. I just love that you are doing what you enjoy doing. My hubby and I want to do the same thing for the winter. We are in the US, where the winters are really bad. We don't have a van and he plays keys so I don't know how that will work lol. We watched the first busking vlog and a few more. I was very impressed at how far you have come with the nerves and learning more songs. We have been busking in our local area but after the fall they take the pianos off the streets so we were thinking about buying a keyboard with batteries and get off to a new life. We will follow you on your journey. Was wondering with all the break downs, are you even ahead of the game?

Hey welcome to the channel! great to have fellow musicians here 🤗 Thank you for the kind words! you could always travel somewhere warmer in the colder months. If you have the ability to work on the road I say take the plung. I know earning money doing music has its challenges but freedom and happiness can't be bought! Also i am very much behind but I'm catching up now, sadly why theres not much content lately. BUT I'll get there. thanks again!!

As well as an electrical problem I had a fuel problem. It turned out to be. Blocked fuel return pipe as there was a return that went back to the fuel inlet pipe I think. The old rubber pipe had perished. Once it was cleared n nee pile fitted it went like a rocket

Seems you have what they call a parasitic draw on battery for it to drain unless that relay is cutting the power an auto electrician might be best to find it remember your van wireing is 30 plus years old hope luck changes all the best donny

I think you should change her name to Hopeless. You defo ain't having much luck at the moment. Hope needs a lot of hope. You should get your mam to pull alcohol into the engine to see if that will help. At least you can gig to pay for the work. However after listening to the old man I think you might have to retire or rethink how you get your money. Stay safe and until next week have fun
