Hi, I've been so inspired by you, I'm totally new to the van life, I paid for a new ELDDIS SIGNATURE CV40 (2024) from Tyne Valley Motorhomes at Newcastle with me living up here (now, don't believe a word they say...) not picked it up as yet but is ready and waiting - BUT, I've just found out and I think your subscribers should know if thinking of buying a campervan (do your homework), I was told when plug the van into an electric hockup point at a camp site or at home this will charge both the vehicle & leisure battery or solar panel would charge the vehicle & leisure battery while wild capming, but now I've paid it's not the case! If you don't use the campervan for around 7 days+ charge both batteries or they will go dead. I can leave my car for over a month and silll starts first time. I feel mislead and told them I'm not picking it up. I've travled up and down the country over the last few years in my car staying at hotels and cottages as these are everywhere and cheaper then one would ever pay for a new campervan, stay in 4+ cottages and hotels every year for 5 years+ and still would not come to the price of a new campervan. I may sound bitter only because I've been mis-sold by Tyne Valley Motorhomes at Newcastle.

Very helpful. Thanks Kat! x
Thank you.
Oh, we were having -25C for week. I think it's better to be at home in such cold winter 😊
Use my tiffin phaeton all year round as a full timer, but yes all the problems you mentioned I have to do, love your videos 😊
