  • Well the time has finally come for me and my camper van to cross over into the Arctic circle and fulfil another dream of mine! In this winter van life episode I travelled up through Norway to reach the Arctic. The weather conditions and the scenery are unbelievable!
    With temperatures dropping to -17 degrees celsius, things are really becoming far different to anything I've ever experienced camping in a van before.
    This winter van life taken to the extreme!

    Grab a can of winter window washer fluid (eg -36C proof) which has alcohol in it. You can pour it into yout sink and gray water thank to keep them from freezing. (Also put that stuff in your washer fluid tank of course) 👋🏻🇫🇮

      Unfortunately it’s the pipes freezing underneath the van so it’s not somewhere that the washer fluid could sit

    I love how you screw studs into your tyres. I’ve just had my low profile tyre repaired again from yet another screw in my tyre, causing a slow leak. The fun of living in a new build suburb. Therefore I could never screw anything into a tyre, not sure if I would choose to change the tyres to snow tyres or learn to use chains. As an Australian as far as I’m concerned snow is for skiing not driving. LOL. I’ve just found your channel and I’m loving your artic adventure. 😊

    If you get an usb mug warmer or similar, a cigarette lighter would be brilliant and run it to where your sink runs out, the warmer air should clear the sink, then just don't let it be filled, actually it's probably only blocked at the exit if you don't have an S bend.

      You can get a wire that heats up and wrap it around the frozen drain pipes - just switch it on to melt them. (I got one from a garden centre for warming the soil to start seedlings off early)@@Adz

    Keep in mind that driving at 40 mph in -20 F generates a wind chill of -85 F. The battery stops charging, brakes freeze, windows crack, and motor fuel turns to slush even if not frozen due to condensation in the fuel. Two other Arctic adventurers are not filing videos on schedule. Know when to turn back before the worst happens.

    You should be able to rig up a camera on top of a coffee mug, just a plastic cover, maybe with a glove or similar, or it stays warm while filming outside.
