Hi! We're Rick, Heather & our dog Poppy and we travel the U.K. in our campervan.
We film the places we visit as our own diary, these vlogs are meant as a little memento for us but we're happy to share them with you if you want to watch.
We also film videos of work we have done on our van as well as van reviews. Occasionally there are product review videos too. We do basic site and area reviews including if they’re dog friendly but they’re a guide only based on our opinions which may or may not help you make an informed decision on if you’d like the place.
We do a mix of off grid camping, pub stopovers plus real campsites too, hopefully something for everyone to enjoy!
Please leave us a comment on the videos, we love reading them and reply to each one.
We try to upload once a week so please consider subscribing to see our travels, it’s free and will really help us.
Thanks for watching!

In this video we're stopping on our 1st C.A.M.C site for 2024 which is Poolsbrook Country Park near Staveley in Derbyshire. We rarely use Caravan & Motorhome Club sites as we find them expensive for what you get but we don't dislike them, we'd be interested on your thoughts and which club if any you prefer. During this trip we had a general look around the area and we cycled the Trans Pennine T...

Looking Around LOADS Of Vans At Brownhills Motorhomes While They SERVICE Ours!

As our van has extended warranty from Fiat we wanted to make sure the service was done at a Fiat Professional dealership to avoid any issues, the Ducato doesn’t need its 1st service until 2 years or 20k miles, we made sure to get it done a few weeks before 2 years and we’re only on 9700 miles, we chose Brownhills as the price was competitive and we could stay over and film content too, all seem...

Warranty Work On Athena! And Heather “Steps Up”

Warranty Work On Athena! And Heather “Steps Up”
Can you please tell me the. Brand of the drive unit
Sorry I have no idea maybe an email to Engwe?
Ok good idea
I've visited the Port all my life, but wonder if anyone told you the story about Dunskie Castle? When it was inhabited, a young girl was hired as a nurse maid to a baby. As she was standing at the window one day, the baby wriggled away from her and plummeted to its death. Terrified of what would happen to her when the family found out, she jumped out herself to her death.
Wow! No we didn’t hear that, what a tragic story!
just installed one but getting an error message on the dash now saying "hill holding error". If i disconnect the HUD it goes away, has anyone else experienced this? Its on a 2020 fiat Ducato
Ahhh no sorry, this was obviously our old van, the new one has a fully digital dash so no longer needed, hope you can sort it!
Great van, love the width of the kitchen area, and the separate sink cooker. With a microwave, or decent solar and battery, to run a little Ninja pressure multi-cooker. Going away for weekends, weeks in the spring or autumn it would be easy to cook properly. To save money for more petrol= further a field trips, and more wine & cheese.
Top priorities there! Agreed, Richard builds a nice van 👍
Why do you think the law should be revised on the pedaling assist function on bikes that don’t require much torque to run the motor? What would be the danger in that? Isn’t the pedal assist required just so that it is instinctive how to stop the motor -> stop pedaling?
My personal opinion is no throttle should be allowed but considering bikes can be ridden unassisted at whatever speed you can do if you put the effort in then why can’t a battery pull you at that speed? Certainly 15.5 seems a low speed anyway.
@@RickandHeatherThank you for the clarification, I may have misunderstood something you said in the video 😊 Great review of the bike!
@jontfu thanks 🙏
Good details in this review and handy tips on assembly
Thank you 🙏 appreciate that, we just try to say as we see rather than just read the official blurb 👍
Well done taking the step to step back, recharge and look at how to do for the future. Thanks for all the videos to date. And the laugh much better than a Sunday radio 2 presenter. Happy 2025
Thank you 🙏 we’ll be back in a better mindset in March 👍
great review ... spot on the things i was wondering about.
Thank you we think a real world review rather than just reading what the website lists is the best way to show these things
Thanks for video. I've always had the same reservations as you regarding accumulation of debris in the recesses behind the mud flap. And also damaging the paint on the arch But I'm beginning to consider fitting the front ones as our van is white🤦♂️😂
They definitely make a difference 👍
Great video guys ❤
Thank you 🙏
I just got mine yesterday and I'm loving this bike 😊
Great aren’t they?
Great job... Thank you 💜
Thanks for watching
Hi Great review thinking of getting the folding one as we have a motorhome, are they very heavy?
The Engwe website lists all of the details but they’re all over 30kg when you get to this size of bike.
Brilliant! I loved this, thanks for the second video. I go to the new Lidel in Ipswich which before it was built is where Andy finds the Roman mosaic. It's now a Lidel car park. I make independent films, and I've decided to shoot my new film around where you went last time where the oak tree is. I'm going to try and get permission to shoot a scene around that oak, I would just love to have it in the new Surreal Images. I made a film 40 years ago called Surreal Images which the BBC liked and showed clips of in a documentary they were making called Video Active. It's on RUclips, I think it's part 5 called Effective Illusions, you see me recreating how I shot some of the scenes. I love Detectorists too, I watch it often on Netflix and the special on BBC iPlayer. I'll have to get it all on blu ray, as they are bound to remove it eventually. Anyway, take care and all the very best to you both. Oh yes, I've subscribed too. 🙂
Thanks for your lovely comment we appreciate it 🙏
I live near Woodbridge, and I've been walking around where the tree is for years. Yes, that is the tree. There are so many really old oaks around there, but you got the right one. Thanks for the video, I really enjoyed it.
Thanks 🙏 don’t forget to look at the revisit a few years later 👍
@RickandHeather Excellent, I'll definitely watch that later. 🙂
I get error on my screen ESC hill holder unavailable and me ESP is OF i dont know way I drive Fiat Ducato 2019
No idea sorry!
To activate the throttle function, and remove the speed restriction (on private land!) - - When the display is turned on, press and hold the "+ & -" button at the same time for 3 seconds to enter the setting interface. After releasing the "+ & -" button, press and hold the "+" button for 15 seconds to release the 6km accelerator limit and the 25km/h speed limit." Do the same to reverse the function back to stock.
63 popped up is that the speed it will go ?
They do about 31mph on the throttle once de restricted. But it’s illegal to do in the uk 😉
Great Review, it looks great. I’m 6’4” tall do you reckon it would be big enough for someone tall like me?
I’m 6 ft 4 too so…..
An older rider too, now into my second year riding this bike. its my only transport so wanted something tough and reliable, its been a fantastic and comfortable ride even over longer (30+) mile journeys with full panniers and an additional large capacity battery to make sure I never run out of juice. Worth every penny, cant wait to go bikepackimng on mine.
Nice to know, glad you’re enjoying it Heather loves it and uses it all the time when we’re away 👍
Does this connect to mobile. So you can see capacity remotely
Not this one no, it’s a very basic model
Ive got the same model ..bought it 2 years ago £1100 and have used it for around 50 hours in my campervan..now it wont even stay on for 5 seconds given it has 70% charge ..tried to reset it many ways ..its out of the 12 month warranty ..its very expensive and now its gathering dust !!! I wouldn't buy another
Wow! Have you tried the Facebook group? There are a few EcoFlow employees on there who might know a fix
I've had mine for a few months now and thoroughly enjoying it. Two months ago I swapped over the hydraulic brake tubes to give our standard of front brake on the right reear on the left. Makes sense if one rides more than one bike to avoid confusion. I've also fitted indicators which had been a great help in traffic. I also fitted my Hornit horn from my previous ebike, it's loud, very loud, recommend it. Made rubber mud flaps to extend the mudguards which has been a help on wet and muddy grounds.
Nice mods! Glad you’re enjoying it
I've just bought some universal ones for my Boxer and was wondering how the rears would fit as there's hardly any body to screw them to. This video has helped me no end, cheers.
Glad I could help 👍
Watching a number of channels I do sometimes wonder if it is the break away or the vlog opportunity that drives people to be away in their vans. Also I can't help feeling that some get their kicks from the apparent mild celebrity status that some feel the may have achieved. Anyway, we like your vlogs and I appreciate your taste in beer. Really appreciated the vlog on replacing the truma gas/electric with diesel/electric. I'm not a gas fan. Good luck.
Oh yes we’ve met a few who genuinely think they’re “TV stars”…. Don’t worry we’ll be back with more pubs once I’m in a better headspace 👍
Enjoy your RUclips break and look forward to getting a notification to say you’re back 🎉😊
Ahhh thank you 🙏 we’ll be back soon I’m sure
Hey … enjoy… don’t worry, be happy…. Hope Lee still posts with his old motors… all the best… 😊
That’s obviously on the car channel…. I’ll be seeing Lee on Saturday 👍
@ yes, I watch Both, assumed you meant altogether… 😊
I haven’t done anything on the car one in ages, there’s definitely no pressure there that ones definitely laid back
Hi Rick and Heather. Happy New Year. We enjoy your videos but understand why you need a break. Mull is a brilliant destination. May and early June is probably one of the best times to go before the midge season starts. Fionnphort and Iona are a must as well as Calgary Bay on the west coast. I would recommend returning via Tobermory to Kilchoan onto Ardnamurchan and then travelling up Arising and Sunnyside Croft Caravan site. Poppy would love the white sandy beaches and the views over to Rum, Eigg and Skye are unbelievable
Thanks 🙏 Heather will note that 👍
Thanks for all your hard work, think is definitely time to chill and look after yourself, didn't realise you tube were nagging everyone, so enjoy relax and I'm waiting for the next video when you are ready. Xx
RUclips are there to sell advertising and that’s it…. Most people don’t realise.
Enjoy your very well-earned break Rick, and you and Poppy enjoy your break too Heather😉. We'll all be eagerly awaiting your return, and it's just occurred to me you might pick up more subscribers when you're off than when you're on 🤣🤣
Doubt it! 15 LOST SINCE the vlog went live!
Enjoy the break. Take Stugeron before you go on the boat. Start taking the night before. You will not be sick. Your to great people and look forward to bumping into Gin soon.
Thanks Paul! Noted 👍
Hi Rick and Heather, George and Trish (formerly CaravanningMacs, not famous on RUclips!) here. We're still subscribed and watching and enjoying your channel, and totally understand your need Rick to take a break from what seems like constant vlogging and YT pressures. Gets to be too much trying to maintain good content whilst badly made rubbish gets crazy numbers of views and subscriptions - part of the reason we no longer publish our videos. You'll also smile when we tell you we're on the "darker side" now and have moved into motorhoming, as you often encouraged us to do ! Have a really enjoyable break from vlogging and come back fresh when you're ready. We'll be keeping an eye for when you re-start. All the best from George and Trish, (notCaravanningMacs !)
Ahhh bless you both! Hope you’re well ❤️
Thankyou for all your videos, and thankyou for sharing. Good luck for the future, wishing you both a Healthy and happy 2025.😊
We will be back eventually don’t worry 👍
We fell in love with Mull this year. Hoping to go back in the Spring. It was lovely to meet you guys this year. Our YT has taken over a bit. Sometimes it feels like work and I didn’t enjoy work! Missed my Saturday upload as we’re away so then editing in the van into the evening is a bit crazy. We do sometimes go down the thumbnail route but keep it honest when we have hit a problem. We don’t upload. We had to leave!! Every two weeks 😃 Hope you enjoy the break Rick and that you both have a brilliant 25. Maybe we will catch up again in 25 See you soon.
Cheers appreciate it, I’ve sometimes gone with intrigue over clickbait but it rarely makes a difference to views as people like to know what they’re watching I think. Anyway whatever works for you I guess. See you around 👍
I´ll be staying.
Thanks 🙏
Enjoy your break and thank you for all of your entertaining videos. This is a great honest channel with none of that click bait rubbish you get from other channels. Enjoy your travels and Hi to Poppy ❤
Thank you 🙏 appreciate that 🙏
Enjoy your break from this crazy platform, my friends 😊💕🤗
Thank you 🤗
Well I'll really miss you 2. Typing this with little tear coming I fully understand your reasoning though. Will miss Heathers giggles. Really annoyed me at first a few yrs ago. But love them now. Didn't realise there was that much work in making video Will be big rest for you. Enjoy your break See you.????
We’re not leaving just resting so we’ll be back. Thanks for the kind words 🙏
Happy New Year make the most of the break and hopefully you’ll be back rested and refreshed ❤
Thank you! You too!
Enjoy your break Rick you deserve it, we have noticed over the last few months certain vloggers using more click bait and to be honest we have unsubscribed from them when we discovered it was only a minor issue blown out of all proportion. It seems that you tube just puts people like yourself under unnecessary pressure to increase their revenue from ads etc. keep it real as you do and just enjoy yourselves. 😊
That’s exactly what does happen 👍 don’t worry we’ll be back I just need to refresh 🙏
Thanks for info i’ve been doing some research on this power bank, and after seeing your review i’ve ordered it. Cheers Jay
Glad I could help 👍
@@RickandHeatherdoh i’m a numbty i watched all your power bank videos and i’ve commented on wrong one😅I’ve ordered the Allpowers R1500 with 200W solar🤪
