Hi Michael, glad you enjoyed the video. We secure the dogs by clipping leads to their harnesses and then we clip the other end of the leads to the isofix points in the back seat. We’ve actually done a video about travelling with dogs if you wanted to check it out :) Good luck finding your perfect van, exciting times :) I’ve put the link to our dog travel video below 👍🏻 ruclips.net/video/JEo5P9MV2gY/видео.htmlsi=1vd8sezmpvhAYCo1

Welcome :) Thank you for sharing about your bad comforts. It’s good to hear what other people do 👍🏻 Thanks for watching :)

We hope you enjoy you new van. Thanks for watching :)

Thanks for sharing :) 👍🏻

We use Exped Megamat duo for tent camping and it’s as comfortable as a home mattress, they aren’t cheap but you can’t beat having a good night sleep and has very high R value although that’s probably not so important in a heated van. 40 mm of foam will never be comfortable. Purchase a Flextail pump and it can be inflated and deflated very quickly and as some else has mentioned deflated it might store up in the roof.

Thank you, we love our van and all the places it allows us to explore :) We hope you get to own your perfect van one day. Thanks so much for watching 👍🏻

@@VanVibesandSibes If and when that happens your vehicle will be a primary source of inspiration! Safe Travels!

Thank you :) The boys loved that off lead field! Yeah the road was pretty noisy. It’s definitely different for everyone. I bet it’s way better for you now without the pop top 👍🏻 The noise did wake us up a couple of times to be fair. It wouldn’t put us off going back though, it’s a lovely little site. Thanks for watching 🫶 :)

Thank you for watching! :) Sounds like you’ve got an amazing plan for getting your own van! Love the idea of towing the bikes and using those to go out exploring! Getting our van is honestly the best thing we’ve ever done. We hope your dream comes true really soon. Thank you so much for subscribing to the channel! We really appreciate it 👍🏻

Thank you :) Yep always jam first 👍🏻 We don’t really have any regrets. It’s honestly the best thing we’ve ever done. We actually did a video where we discussed how we felt about the van after a year of owning it. Feel free to check that video out :) The only thing we do sometimes wonder, is if we should have stretched ourselves to get a base van with an automatic gearbox, and if the light grey upholstery is the right thing to have with two dogs. Other than that we love everything about it :) Thanks for watching 👍🏻

Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for watching 👍🏻

Thank you 😊Yes we are still using the Panda 👍🏻

Thanks for watching! Always jam then cream 👍🏻😂

We do the cream and jam the other way although it's all good with us as it tastes great which ever way it's done! Lovely video. Thanks for creating and sharing

@@jerrygale1994 Definitely! It all goes down the same way and tastes awesome either way. Some people get really upset if you do it a different way to them though don’t they 🤣 Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks so much for watching 👍🏻

Thanks for sharing. We ended up with a panda which has definitely improved the comfort in the pop top bed. Glad you’ve found something that works for you as well 👍🏻

We haven’t had any problems with the awning due to rain. Can’t say we’ve used it in a proper storm though. We don’t always take this awning with us, so we’ve probably only used it about half a dozen times. We tend to just use our wind out awning for weekends.

Good point👍🏻 Hadn’t really thought about it like that.

Hi 👋🏼 Thanks for watching our videos 👍🏻 Our boys travel in the exact same places as where they sleep in the van. They travel in the main part of the van. Sabre lies on the back seat, and Dallas lies on his bed on the floor. They have leads clipped on to their harnesses to secure them and keep them safe. It’s a really good idea to hire a van to see how you get on 👍🏻 It means you can try out different things and make sure it works for you. We really enjoyed the Durdle Door campsite. It is a great location to explore Dorset. So nice to hear that you enjoy our videos! We wish you lots of luck in your search for your own campervan.

It’s a great festival isn’t it! I think if you are on the Dubbed out community Facebook group you will see when they announce their camp outs and the festival on there. Alternatively, I think if you go to the website, you can sign up to their mailing list so that you get notified about all their events. We really enjoyed it this year so we probably go again next year 👍🏻 Thanks for watching :)

@@VanVibesandSibes thanks both yes we really enjoyed just need to have some friends to come along think it would be much better when there are a few of you thanks both

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video :) Hope you had a lovely time in Dorset. We loved our time there. We did go to Lyme Regis, but we didn’t go to the brewery (not like us I know 😂) We’ll have to add it to the list for next time 👍🏻 Oh no, pesky seagulls! Haha don’t blame you for swearing if you’d only had one bite! 😂

Didn’t realise that, thanks so much for the info 👍🏻

It’s nice to feel young 😂 Glad to have you back :) Thanks for watching!

Have an amazing time! Thanks for watching 👍🏻

🤣🤣🤣I really wanted to do that! Wish we had now! We weren’t sure if you were actually allowed to walk up to it, so we chickened out 😂😂

Thank you :) Yes they love a beach walk! All of our leads and harnesses come from a small business called Indi Dog. Our boys have their Houdini harnesses. They are so called because it is pretty much impossible for the dog to slip the Houdini harness and get loose. They are hand made by the couple who own the business, so sometimes there can be quite long lead times if you order made to measure ones. Wouldn’t have our boys in any other gear though 👍🏻

Welcome! 👋🏼 It’s interesting to hear about someone looking to downsize. There seems to be a lot of people that are deciding to go bigger at the moment. Can definitely recommend using a transporter as a daily driver, as that’s what we do 👍🏻 Glad to hear you enjoy the videos😊 Bakewell is lovely to have a wander round. Hope you have an amazing stay at Chatsworth. Thanks for watching :) 👍🏻

It’s stunning isn’t it!

Glad you enjoyed the drone shots! Thanks for the support, we really appreciate it :)

Glad you are enjoying the videos! Thanks for watching!

Hi 👋🏼 Glad you enjoyed the Whitby video :) We find the transporter suits us really well for the most part. We have to sleep in the pop top to make it work with two large dogs though. It’s really down to personal preference. We wanted something that would fit on our driveway and be useable as a daily driver as well. You could daily drive something bigger, but obviously it’s not quite as easy to park etc. Even a LWB transporter would have overhung our driveway, so we opted for the SWB and we love it!

Yes it’s the perfect dog walk stop off 👍🏻

Hi! 👋🏼 Not very often we hear from other people with New Wave conversions! 😊 What do you think of yours? We absolutely love ours! Top quality conversion for sure! 👍🏻

Yeah the quality is so good and none of those edging strips like the cheap conversions. Only thing I don't like is the door and the window behind the blinds could do with a cover as I think they look untidy.

@@KingdomTimes Do you mean you’d prefer it to look similar to the window behind the kitchen units with the wooden surround?? The no edging strip thing was definitely a massive factor in us going for that conversion. Love having the corian worktop as well 👍🏻

Hi 👋🏼 thank you :) We only have one fake glass panel on the van. We wanted windows all round, but there was no point having one at the back on the drivers side, as the wardrobe would cover it. To make it look even, the converter left the metal in tact on that panel and put a fake window there. We could have just had two windows at the front and left both back panels the original metal, but we really wanted to let as much light in as possible. We opted to have the rear passenger side done, and make it look like the van has windows all round with the fake glass on the rear drivers side 👍🏻

Hi Andy! 👋🏼 Colin was everywhere that weekend! 😂 We had a chat with him when we bumped into him and Michelle one day. Lovely couple 👍🏻 Cheers 🍻

Thank you 😊 It was the best weekend! So much fun! We will definitely be back! Glad you like the costumes 🤣 Thanks for watching!

It was such a good weekend wasn’t it! Everyone seemed to have such a good time. We loved it and will definitely be back 👍🏻 Glad you enjoy the content, thanks for watching! 😊🫶

🤣🤣 It was probably us you saw😂 If people recognise us, it’s usually because of the dogs! 😂 They spent the weekend with Lou’s Mum and Dad as they wouldn’t have settled at the festival with so many people around. They most likely consumed their body weight in biscuits, as Lou’s Mum spoils them 😂

We travelled end of April into early May 👍🏻

Thank you :) Glad you enjoyed the video. Oh no, sorry to hear you missed the football. We enjoyed the Durdle Door site. Would definitely recommend the pitches we stayed on 👍🏻

Dorset is stunning isn’t it! Glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching 😀👍🏻

Yes 100% it’s not for everyone. We did go to Lulworth cove, but we took the van down as we knew our almost 13 year old dog would really struggle on the way back. Hope you had a good time when you were there. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

Glad you enjoyed the video! We hope you have lots of amazing adventures in your van when you get it. Thanks so much for subscribing 👍🏻😊

No way! What a coincidence! We loved pitch 13, great spot. Oh yeah, total calf burn walking back from the beach! 🤣🥵

Thank you :) Glad you enjoyed the video. That’s such a lovely comment! We always do our best to keep them safe and happy. Sounds like you are also a great dog parent🫶 We love talking about beer 😂 Stay tuned as there will be more parts to this trip coming soon. Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video :)

It’s a lovely stretch of coastline for sure and the huge pitch was great for the dogs! Glad you enjoyed the swimming shots and the drone footage. We really enjoyed getting those- although the sea was a bit fresh 🥶🤣 The pasta salad is a nice easy meal to do in the van, and you could easily change it up and add different ingredients to make it different every time. Aww yes the shorter nosed breeds have a tough time in the summer don’t they bless them. It can be frustrating when we have to stay at the van in the shade, but its all part of being a good dog parent isn’t it. We always try to keep Dallas and Sabre out of the really hot weather if we can. Thanks so much for watching, there will be more videos to come :)

Thanks Gary. We really enjoyed Dorset, it was a stunning bit of coastline. We’ll definitely go back there at some point so we’ll bear that campsite in mind. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

@VanVibesandSibes the campsite is highlands end amazing views pub on site carvery on Sunday and the facilities are great and if you are in to your tv serese broad church was filmed there 😀

Sounds amazing! We loved Broadchurch so we’ll have to check that one out when we come down to Dorset again 👍🏻

Hi 👋🏼 The official NC500 route starts and ends in Inverness. We started at Beauly Holiday park just West of inverness, and finished in Inverness itself. We also did a couple of detours, as we went on to Skye, and after we finished the official route, we went over to Glenfinnan viaduct as well. It took us two weeks in total which includes getting up there from Leicestershire and getting back down again. It’s up to you really on how long you want to spend on the route. You could drive round it in as little as a couple of days, but there’s no way you can see everything you’ll want to see if you do that. Personally I would allow at least 10 days, so that you can really enjoy the experience and not feel too rushed. If you watch the rest of our NC500 videos, you’ll see how much we crammed in lol. Congrats on the new van! We hope you have lots of amazing adventures!

We believe it’s 16mm 👍🏻

@@VanVibesandSibes Thank you.

We think we remember the converter telling us that the poptop bed board is birch ply. Thanks for watching 👍🏻
