Добавлен 11 ноя 2018
Full-time vanlifers, we've embarked on a new chapter in our lives after selling our business and home. Now, we're hitting the road with our two spaniels-to explore the world and create unforgettable memories. Subscribe to follow us on our journey as we share our experiences, adventures and tips for living in a van.
FULL TIME VAN LIFE - leaving our house and starting a new life
Our first video as full time van lifers. Join us as we leave our home of 20 years and head off in our self converted Scottish ambulance.
We've been planning our escape from the rat race for some time, closing our business and selling our house has been a difficult process but we finally get the sale over the line.
In our first week we head to Scotland and explore Dumfries and Galloway.

Chinese Diesel Heater - Changing from 24v to 12v
New sub here . Very brave selling up to live your dream - well done . Do you mind me asking what plans of any you have for settling later in life .
Thanks for the sub. We’ve taken the equity from our house sale and invested it. When and if we’re ready to move back into a house we can come along as cash buyers (literally). We will probably be ready for something smaller by then so we will have some slack. 🤞
Gaura nitai gauranga
Good luck
Thank you 🙏
Great start looks like your ready for this ,
It's always felt like the right way to go.
I live in the US and just found your channel. Would love to have an adventure. So I shall travel along with you guys. Brave souls you are.

@@MWilson-nv7zh Thanks guys, haven’t got a clue what I’m doing but hey ho!
Wont go into diagnostic mode.
Cab the battery be over chatgeed to cut it out plz
When I press the settings button three times it doesn't let me into the advance settings! Has anybody any help on this as it must be on 24v and I want to change it back to 12v as low voltage is coming up??
Thanks for the video! I wish I’d seen this before I forked out £250 for an AHC 🙈 thanks for the tip, I know where to get it from for our next trip 👍
Beautiful space
Thank you,
So much space!! Great layout, nice clean lines with lots of living space. We like it 😍
Thanks guys, appreciate it.
Nice build, looks great inside well done
Very kind, thanks so much.
Love following your journey and really enjoyed the tour of the van. We’re from Northallerton and are just starting out on our own van conversion and journey so your advice and tips on previous videos and Instagram have been much appreciated, thank you 👍🏻😀
We’ll we’re only across in Bedale, so happy to chat if you need to.
Looks lovely. Can't beat that morning coffee with a view 👍
It’s the best.
Thank you for taking us there, we can't wait to visit 😍
Who doesn't love a ballon night glow show 👍 Sneaky parking at the event 🤣and what an impressive sight to see. Thats a great castle with amazing views from the top...can't wait to get to Portugal soon!!!
Thanks guys, we’ve been really impressed with Portugal, but making an effort to stay away from the touristy stuff.
Hi love video. We are also planning a 6 week trip so am interested on how you get on. Great tip about the health cert for dogs. Can you advise where you stayed over night before you travelled to tunnel? will watch the rest with great interest :)
Thanks Mandy. Behind Morrisons in Folkestone is a large carpark linked to the cricket club. They allow overnight parking. It’s not glamorous but it is well located for both the vets and the tunnel. Have fun in your travels. N
Guys, Great episode! In fact your best one yet! Great videography and sound matching, combined with stunning scenery and really useful information! Don’t forget to come home… Best Wishes, ~ Matt Wells ~ ❤️🙏❤️
Thanks Matt
Thanks for sharing. It always amazes me the wide variety of overland vehicles out there.
We’ve seen some real crackers over the past couple of months. Must dig out all the pictures and do a post of them all.
Looks incredible out there!
Thanks guys, it was pretty amazing place.
We love touring all round that area, nice to see some old ground we have taken 😍
Chamonix is a unique and beautiful destination. We simply love this place.
It’s such an amazing location
@@thisisvanlife2712 safe travels!
We must’ve missed the Instagram post about Alice. Desperately sorry to hear this awful news, it leaves such a hole in your life. She was beautiful ❤️ I hope smee and yourselves are coping ok.
Thanks so much for the kind words. It wasn’t an easy time but we’re all mending now. Take care. Nige
It must be so difficult for you to continue without Alice. It was not an easy thing to do but to let her go was best for everyone. I have been through it, not easy. I hope you will enjoy the rest of your journey. I enjoy watching your videos, it is a very nice complement to your Instagram. ❤️
Thank you for your kind words. It’s never easy but we’re moving on slowly
very interesting video, down to earth, loads of info. Reassuring, as I am planning to cross the Channel later this year, solo female vanlifer with my dog, very green, learning everything on the spot. Refreshing to see you there, so natural and real. Will watch the next one right away!
really nice. I opted for a shower and I see how much space it takes in comparison with you floor plan.
Nice video, thanks for sharing😀
Thanks a lot
Really good video. 👍
Thanks so much. We’re not very good at this stuff.
Fab info regarding getting dogs sorted for your travels abroad 👍
Thanks again, really kind.
I’ve loved your video from a fellow Yorkshire lass! I was interested about the process for taking your dogs abroad too. I’d like to visit my daughter in Poland next year with my dogs so your video is giving me inspiration. Can’t wait to see your next vid. Subscribed so I don’t miss it 👍 Have fun x
That’s really kind, thanks. The process pig taking the dogs over caused us some concern. It turned out to be really simple, and a lot cheaper with the Folkestone vets. Can highly recommend them.
Man after my own heart, we loved our trip to circuit de Reims 😍 Look forward to seeing more of your trip 👍🏼 Subscribed.
Thanks guys, it had such a great feel to it, could almost sense the old racing days.
@@thisisvanlife2712 did you see our Instagram reel from Reims? 🤩
@@Professionalmoochers will take a look.
We are about to do the same sort thing in September early retirement and off for six weeks.we are heading to Greece . You mentioned the Dolomites my recommendation for this area and I can guarantee you won’t be disappointed is Caravan Park Sexten. Have a great adventure
Thanks so much. Have fun and might see you in the road.
@@thisisvanlife2712 we will keep an eye out for you
Bonjournice to meet you~how fantastic !see you on my side-
Looking forward to it.
Such a Lovely van and really enjoy watching your journey. Could I ask the actual length and height rating ie H3 L3
Thanks Mark, very kind. So the length is 6.3m and the height is 2.08m. Hope this helps.
Guys, First time I’ve seen inside your van - very good job! Safe travels! ~ Matt Wells ~ ❤️🙏❤️
Thanks Matt, take care
Van looks great top job you have done. What weight is the van now it's all converted over from the ambulance side to camper
The van comes in at just under 3.5T, though it is rated at 4T from its ambulance days.
Absolutely beautiful!!
Thanks Becky
Nice tour, stunning van as well 😍❤️😍❤️😍
Very kind, thanks a lot.
good evening
good evening
I ordered the 24v version but the one I received says 12v. The seller says it will work on 24v. I am worried if I wire it to my 24v system it will blow up the machine. Help me!
So what happened?
@@SwampMyster it didn't work. An error message came up saying E-2 which means over voltage. Luckily it had the over voltage protection. It didn't let me change anything on the menu. I ordered another one from amazon. The description said that 12/24 volt. And it did work. You can set it up on the menu either 12v or 24v.
Just installed a new unit and none of the buttons do anything is there a reset button or would it be a faulty controller or the main computer? pressing the two top or even the two bottom buttons has no effect whatsoever.
It looks like there are some folks out there with the same question as me - Accidentally got a 24v version but want to run 12v. Besides this setting for the ECU there are two other potential problems - the fan motor and the glow plug. Easy enough to swap out for a 12v Glow Plug, but I wonder if the fan is possibly dual voltage, or if they use a different fan motor controller on the 24v and 12v versions. So the big unknown is the fan motor in my mind...
if it helps anyone I just searched for the fan motor and found all except an Eberspaecher were listed as dual voltage,, same with the motherboards they list as dual voltage.
Great vid guys . Good to see you both on screen as you go to some amazing places . We’re toying with starting to put some vids up too. The dogs are lovely , what are they called ?
Loved this!! I hope you do more :D
