    Most people here in the Highlands now ignore Yellow warnings, because the Met office give them for an inch of rain or half an inch of snow. It's just embarrassing.

      These weather warnings are to prop up the crumbling climate crisis narrative that people are finally seeing through.

    Good on ya! I did the nc500 and Skye in my D3. I slept the whole trip in the back, cooked outside and washed in the streams. Loved every minute of it even though it snowed most days and the warmest it got to was 9 degrees.

    Well done you ,Becky!! A mixture of portraying the realities of the positives and negatives of our travelling ambitions. Your videos are an inspiration to young and old. And anyone that has experienced these situations know the highs outweigh the problems and lows. So as long as you’re of an adventurous character you will continue to inspire. My new little Skoda Yeti is hopefully going to become my little micro camper to get me from the south of England up there for lots of human powered adventures. Cheers you!!!

    You need a diesel heater to keep you warm inside and eliminate the condensation. A very small one which you can control for temperature. Also great for use in inclement weather for drying your outside clothes.

    @MrClaudioRF 10 месяцев назад +3

    Hi Becky! Your Percy is incredible! If I may make a suggestion, in the left side, where these baskets are, I see a lot of empty space. I think every inch should be put to good use. Then you could replace these baskets with drawers or plastic boxes, so you can make the most of the space inside the Percy.

    hey, i'm a hgv driver, so used to this kind of small space camping. a trick i use to keep the condensation away is to keep the night heater running at night at about 20 degrees which for me keep the condensation to an absolute minimum, quite often there is none.

  • @philkfoto
    @philkfoto 11 месяцев назад

    Becky a good addition to Percy if you do not have it already is a snorkel. This addition is connected to your air filter and sits vertically up from the wing to the passenger side of the windscreen. So if you ever encounter surface water and try to drive through it, it could get into your existing air filter and kill the engine. Just a word of warning now, if not fitted and the engine dies whilst navigating water, NEVER try to start Percy, doing so will wreck the whole engine. Best to wait for recovery.

  • @supercrazysane
    @supercrazysane 11 месяцев назад +2

    I have a Disco with an iKamper Mini, it might be a good option for you too as hard shell (rocky shell is better than the gloss black imho), light weight and leaves room on the roof rack for storage boxes. I have used it in some crazy weather and always been fine.
    You can store bedding and pillows inside, I use the optional comfort mattress which is insanely comfortable.
    AluCab (as you probably know) is the Muts Nuts but it’s one of the heaviest - so a trade off depending on what your needs are.
    Lots of options out there, just another one to take a look at. 😎🙏
    When sleeping inside I do the same with the window blinds, otherwise it looks like a tin foil space ship 😅

Great thinking with getting the springs rather than airbags, my airbags were a nightmare, also good shout not getting sunroofs, when mines leaked water would gather in the felt and pour on me when I turned a corner or run down my seatbelt 😂 can’t wait to see more of your adventures in Bonnie Scotland 😁💪🏻👏🏻

    @Rider-EuropeanMotorcycles 11 месяцев назад

    Hi. Becky and viewers. as a Disco owner i totally understand you didn’t want sunroofs, at least i think you didn’t.. BUT i like the light from above and also hate the standard LR typical leaking from above.. my solution? Sikaflex 291 is your friend… i sealed mine totally, both on the D2 and D3. From above, just filling up the seam between glass and metal…. Never a drop of water again… And yes, i can not open them, but when i ever sell the disco, it is easy to remove…. Sika 291 is used on boats,yachts😊 It simply gives more choices if you are looking for (maybe) the next one, since most of the Disco’s and RR have sunroofs.. sika 291 can be used for all other leakage as well… when not yet dried, excessive kit can be removed with petrol! , “factory” like finish is very easy to obtain that way.. cheers from ☔️ Netherlands

    Hi just a suggestion, if you go to Scotland in midge season, mosquito netting does not work, the holes are too big;..... midge netting is needed as holes are much smaller and the little beggars cannot get through. Tropical strength repellent needed but beware it may melt your plastic phone. Head net can be good as they get into your ears ....when really bad rubber bands around shirt sleeves....long socks with long trousers ...and tuck in your shirt.............if you think this is mad..........try Glencoe in June after the rain. But all still worth it for the scenery .........Please take all rubbish away and do not empty loos in unauthorised places................thank you

    Becky the worst part of your roof tent is access from outside when the weather is bad. Could be rain, strong winds or snow and it can't be any worse trying to settle there with wet clothes. If a Landie was bigger inside then it could make an excellent campervan.

    Watching all your travels with Percy I want to build a campervan for Scotland. Do I buy a regular van to convert or a Landie? Having owned and travelled much of the Highlands in now an old classic Range Rover, a Landie will be perfect as I I want to drive off road on so many trails back then when living there did not know they existed. But my Landie will have an elevated roof to accommodate my height plus a dry place to sleep. The base area will be for cooking and a loo.

My mate had a TD5 too, but with a sunroof and I remember thinking "what the ????" when we went down a steep hill in heavy rain and it started coming in. Well, hydration is important. He'd owned a Defender for years and wasn't bothered by it in the slightest. Another Landy bonus feature.
