Sorry to hear of your loss Gary.I have just lost my mum who was also 90.She had been in care for five years with Vascular Dementia and at the end her brain didn't send the signal for her to breath and that is how she went. An evil disease for everyone involved and the cost of care was exorbitant.

Hi Roger, sorry for the loss of your Mum too. With dad, they said it was pneumonia, but he had a heart attack back in year 2000 which he survived, recently all caught up, which left his heart unable to feed his brain with oxygen, which in turn shut his brain down and therefore his body. Around a year ago, we noticed that his mouth would stay open a lot and his speech became illegible and it has been a gradual decline for a year, accelerated in the last few months. He used to say I don't feel well and I wish I was dead.

We thought we could get it in by reversing. We did use the motor mover in the end but the ridge onto the pitch made it difficult and we had to push + use the mover. Top and bottom of it is the approach is not wide enough for reversing caravans. It's fine for motorhomes and small camper vans. Had I selected front to rear diff lock it would have been a different story altogether.

Hi Jackie, ours is a rear dinette version, so we just put shoes and bedding bags under there. You have to be careful not to overload the back end especially on the fixed bed versions, as it does look an attractive place to store things but runs the risk of making the nose weight too light. We know the van is 1300kg fully loaded, which can easily be breached so we put heavy things into the back of the car.

Hi Mark, so for the drone you go to the Civil Aviation Authority which is linked to the Govt website. We will be sticking with the Eriba too and we will be away in it in just 2 days time. For the <250g you need a licence which is around £12 per year and theres a 40 question course based on your reading recommended to you. The Operating Number is given to you on completion of registration and the course.

Hi Gary.I haven't seen that set up before.Could it work using say a small hatchback car? The set up looks rapid but you set up your Eriba faster than we do anyway.Ann, my wife thought it better than sleeping on the ground in a tent which she would never do these days.What was Catherine's verdict? Are you going to alternate Eriba and tail gate tent? I suppose a big advsntage is not having to tow the Eriba and better access via narrow roads.
@whereverawayАй бұрын
Hi Hayden, yes you can use a small hatchback car. That particular tent fits cars from 1.5 metres to 1.9 metres high. There are various ways of fixing to the car, including suckers that go onto the rear quarter windows. I would check the comfort of the car by putting some mattress toppers down and seeing if your car will be comfy enough for you. Catherine was fine with it and is pleased with the Tent. I agree with you in that we would not want to sleep on the floor either and I do recall one of your previous comments whereby you wanted to try something different. We are away again tomorrow in the tent, but at a much better site than this one. For weekends only, this way you can go away for a single night or two nights at very low cost and either eat out or just put some things into the cooler. No need for electric and if you like to top up phones etc you could use a small Jackery.

Will you keep a list of the places that allow car camping. I’ve an eriba and a friend who car camps and it’s hard for us to find anywhere that will let us both on !
@whereverawayАй бұрын
Hi Jane, we will vlog every site we go to. We use C&MH CL sites or Pitch Up nowadays. You can also use Pitch Up for discovery and just call the site at the last minute when you are not requiring a reserved pitch. On your subject of car camping. Most sites don't let sleeping in a car only, but are okay if there's a tailgater attached to it, as they won't know if you are sleeping in the car or not. You could share Eriba facilities whilst your friend sleeps in the car and all you need to do is pay a bit extra for the extra car. You could also put the car at 90 degrees and have a tarp shelter or canopy between her boot and your door to make it a better set up. No one really cares about positioning on an open field.

Another top adventure. Great guitar playing. Nice to hear Radiohead played so well. Thanks for filming all the best Pete ⛺️
Hi Pete, thanks for the compliments and I'm sure the guitarist would appreciate that too.
your mic is naf , can't hear you very well.
Hi Stefan, sometimes the wind makes the sound hard to hear. I could buy a mic cover to help shield out the wind, but in the main it's not needed. I think you need to check your volume or the device if the issue is consistent because it plays back okay for us.
Looks a good site. Will Defo try that out. Nice one. Plus not that far from home.
Thanks Philip. The facilities are quite sparse for the size of the site and theres only 2 showers for 100s of people, but its fine for 2 nights.
Great vlog again Gary. I do love the view from above. Is your drone a DJI Mavic 2? Also when you use the car do you just leave the tent in place and re connect on return?
Thanks Mark. The drone is the smaller DJI Mini 2 and under 250g which allows for more flexibility in the law. Yes, the tent zips up and on return we unzip and reattach the car.
Thanks Gary, really made me want to think about getting a drone, do I need an operator number or any sort of license? Oh and as much as I admire your camping,I’ll be sticking with the Eriba 😂
Hi Mark, so for the drone you go to the Civil Aviation Authority which is linked to the Govt website. We will be sticking with the Eriba too and we will be away in it in just 2 days time. For the <250g you need a licence which is around £12 per year and theres a 40 question course based on your reading recommended to you. The Operating Number is given to you on completion of registration and the course.
Ha ha made me laugh when you said Think I will jump on the swing and wake them all up!. Pity you didn’t discover the swing prior to setting up-think I would have had to move. Congratulations to Will what a lovely lad,finished a long physical week then did the cooking!!!. All the best.
Hi Carol, we did notice the swings before setting up but underestimated the noise that can come out of 8 to 10 year olds :) Our William insisted on cooking, as he enjoys doing it. Thanks for the well wishes and to you too.
Did you find a more comfortable way to make up the bed in the jeep than the first night you tried it?
Hi Tom, yes we put the boot floor mat over the small gap between the boot and the rear seats. We also used proper bedding too.
Another interesting watch. That tent inflation was like an advert for Viagra 😂
But at the end was like a disappointing blow up doll.
@@whereveraway 😂
Hi Gary.I haven't seen that set up before.Could it work using say a small hatchback car? The set up looks rapid but you set up your Eriba faster than we do anyway.Ann, my wife thought it better than sleeping on the ground in a tent which she would never do these days.What was Catherine's verdict? Are you going to alternate Eriba and tail gate tent? I suppose a big advsntage is not having to tow the Eriba and better access via narrow roads.
Hi Hayden, yes you can use a small hatchback car. That particular tent fits cars from 1.5 metres to 1.9 metres high. There are various ways of fixing to the car, including suckers that go onto the rear quarter windows. I would check the comfort of the car by putting some mattress toppers down and seeing if your car will be comfy enough for you. Catherine was fine with it and is pleased with the Tent. I agree with you in that we would not want to sleep on the floor either and I do recall one of your previous comments whereby you wanted to try something different. We are away again tomorrow in the tent, but at a much better site than this one. For weekends only, this way you can go away for a single night or two nights at very low cost and either eat out or just put some things into the cooler. No need for electric and if you like to top up phones etc you could use a small Jackery.
Will you keep a list of the places that allow car camping. I’ve an eriba and a friend who car camps and it’s hard for us to find anywhere that will let us both on !
Hi Jane, we will vlog every site we go to. We use C&MH CL sites or Pitch Up nowadays. You can also use Pitch Up for discovery and just call the site at the last minute when you are not requiring a reserved pitch. On your subject of car camping. Most sites don't let sleeping in a car only, but are okay if there's a tailgater attached to it, as they won't know if you are sleeping in the car or not. You could share Eriba facilities whilst your friend sleeps in the car and all you need to do is pay a bit extra for the extra car. You could also put the car at 90 degrees and have a tarp shelter or canopy between her boot and your door to make it a better set up. No one really cares about positioning on an open field.
So glad I found your video today as literally over the bank holiday weekend I was contemplating doing this myself. Where'd you get the inflatable tailgate tent? Love it.
Hia, we bought it from Attwoolls Outdoors who sent it by post. They have a KZread Channel and a website. The tent is a bit pricey but worth it.
@@whereveraway Thanks for that. Do they class it as a tent or an awning?
It's called Dometic Auto Air Redux Tailgater Awning. It's made from recycled plastic water bottles.
Great video, thanks. How long was set up & set down out of interest?
Hi, the first time always takes a little longer but now we are established, the tent would take 10 minutes to put up including reversing and attaching the car. The rest of the set up time is furnishing it. It's about the same for taking the tent down. The bag is plenty big enough to fit the tent into.
Ps I have a Kampa pump which works ten times quicker than that from the car 12v
We also have a back up pump called me, which works at ten times slower than that from the car 12v.
Brilliant video and your set up was impressive.Love when it rains and your all cosy in the tent looking out to that lovely view.As you said next time take your own bedding that makes a difference. Hope Will does well in his DoE award.All the best Carol
Thanks Carol. We will be more organised for the next week, however we have to make room for William to stay too.
