Our Van is Falling Apart - Scotland motorhome trip
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 ноя 2024
- We are on a 7 week trip exploring Scotland in our 11 year old Motorhome, with our two dogs. We live 9 months of the year in our van, and unfortunately we are starting to discover it is absolutely NOT meant for this.
Catch up in this viodeo as we explore the Aviemore area, feed Reindeer and discover a big leak that threatens to ruin our trip and our motorhome.
We are Corrin and Paul and with our two dogs (Pippa and Dolly) we have travelled to 23 countries in Europe

Ahh the magic of the Cairngorms. Beautiful and loving the underwater shots 👍🏻
It’s lovely ! And Thankyou 💖🏴
Love Scotland and it looks like you had some great weather (mostly 😂) the reindeer were fabulous must go there myself next time were in bonny scotland. Pats for the furry crew
It really is amazing ! 🐩🐩🐾🐾🐾💖🏴 the weather is variable 😂 but beautiful scenery x
Dolly and Pippa were just adorable in this vlog! Pinching your hat 😂 The Reindeer made us laugh walking on those walkways. Luckily the tail didn’t lift 😅 Hope you get the van sorted soon 👍🏻
Good morning guys ! 💖🏴 it’s an amazing place, the Girls are having a great time too 🐩🐩🐾🐾❤️ the reindeer experience was so worth it xx ! So much to see and do 🙂
Hope you are all fixed soon x loved seeing the girls on the beach and the reindeer experience
Thanks Alison ! 💖🏴 yes, it’s been a fab time , on the islands at the moment 🏴🐩🐩🐾🐾
We were on Loch Morlich beach last Friday waiting for the Northern Lights ❤
Did you see them ? 🤩 we haven’t had any luck just yet 😬
@@redsgotravels we stayed on the beach until approx 11pm but it was too cloudy. My daughter dropped us off back at High Range campsite and went to her lodge on the campsite in the other side of the roundabout. Around midnight got a call from her all excited saying she could see them. We went outside the campsite near the Italian and could see the massive white beams swirling. Our phones did not pick up the links and greens as ours are old phones. My daughter took some fantastic ones with her iPhone on the settings she was told to use.
Ah that’s amazing , would love to see them in their full glory xx 💖
What a fantastic experience feeding the reindeer. Hope you get your motorhome sorted. See you both on the next one ❤
Thanks Paul ! ❤️👌 had a great time 🏴❤️
Hi Both Fingers 🤞 you manage to get your motor Home fixed Scotland 🏴 is certainly not disappointing you with the wonderful scenery the reindeers were so cute all the best Lin 🐕🐕💖👍
Hi Lin ! 💖 thanks so much ! Really appreciate it xx
Still catching up with your vlogs, now were back home but omg the reindeers now that was awesome, love anything like this never know what to expect 😊😊 hope you get the van sorted keep meaning to ask does your motorhome have a name xx ❤
Hi Guys ! Lovely to hear from you ! Hope you had a great time ❤️👌 the Reindeers were amazing, so gentle 🙂 slowly getting the van fixed ( always something ) , and we call it Big Red ❤️😂
Ok back 2 days missing van life already & want to get a new & bigger MH. Love seeing the dogs having such a great time life. Keep it up x
💖🐩🐩🐾🐾Thankyou so much xx really appreciated 🥰
Skiing Cairngorm Mountain in the 1990's stayed at the Youth Hostel opposite Campsite for a beer at night walked to bar at Glenmore Lodge you pass it on the way to Green Loch. Also used the Climbing Wall at the Lodge. Frost valve's are pain in the neck. A temporary fix I used a clothes peg to lift the valve shut.
👍❤️happy memories! It’s a lovely place isn’t it 👌🏴 the frost valve when fully closed was still leaking 😬 finally sorted 🙂
Hope you get things sorted, so b that you can enjoy your travels
Aww thank you xx
Love loch Morlich,want my ashes scattering there,not just yet though thanks
😂nice place , and we of course understand 😂😬
Hope you get the water leaking sorted and dont miss your ferry..
Great places you go to. Scotland is beautiful (so is Wales and if course Yorkshire where I'm from!) But Scotland when you see the mountains with the snow on and the very calm 'mirror' lock its beautiful.... Keep smiling and carry on as they say.. xx
Hi Kim ! Thankyou very much , we are on the island now and made the ferry xx will update in the next vlog ! Alls good 👌🥰
Bonny Scotland ❤ . Thank you so much for sharing your fantastic travels ❤
💖🏴Thank-you so much for watching , really appreciate it ❤️🙂
Hi Guys, we were so excited to see you were in Elgin as that's where our son and grandson live!! What a mare with the boiler though, there's always something isn't there...! We absolutely loved the Reindeer, what a great thing to do and well worth the money and the park up near Avimore, wow, absolutely stunning! You're definitely showing us Scotland's true beauty, hoping the water issue is resolved soon, thanks for a fabulous vlog, lots of love Julia and Gary Xx
Hi guys ! We are really enjoying Scotland 🏴, the boiler is sorted thanks to the parts dept at the shop in Elgin 👌🙂 Aviemore and reindeers were fab xx safe travels 💖💖
Hope you get the leek fixed. My brother in law used to be the service manager at S & D Harper.
Thankyou ! And what a great company they are , so helpful 👌❤️🏴
Your both making Scotland look cracking but I think you'll have trouble topping the reindeer tour, that was fantastic with some interesting facts thrown in for good measure, hopefully it's just that valve that's required for your van fix 🤞, anyway another enjoyable vlog keep them coming 👍
Morning Stephen ! Thankyou 💖🏴 it’s a lovely place 🙂 the reindeers were amazing and we really enjoyed Aviemore 🙂 .. and on the up side, new valve, problem solved … just the fridge to sort now 😬😂🏴
Lovely Video ❤
Thankyou 💖🏴
Lovely video. Loved the reindeers. Funny you should mention the frost valve. Ours had just gone too and we had to replace it as we were using water. Hopefully you get the problem sorted. We clean our boiler out with white wine vinegar. Does a good job!
Hi Diane ! Thankyou very much ! 💖👌 the frost valves seem to be problematic for sure ! Will look at giving it a descale too , thanks again 🙂🥰
Hi, oh dear. Hopefully you’ll be able to fix the water problem 🤞 lovely vlog thank you. Safe travels❤❤
Aww Thankyou so much 💖🏴
Really glad you enjoyed Glenmore, we’ve been going to Aviemore/Glenmore for many years.
Christmas is amazing, Christmas Eve there is a parade through Aviemore with Santa being pulled in his sleigh by reindeers followed by fireworks at the Cairngorm Hotel.
Fantastic night that always means Christmas to us.
Good morning! It’s a lovely place isn’t it ! So glad to hear it brings back memories 💖🏴
Oh no.. hope you get your leak sorted. Love Glenmore. Our favourite campsite. 🙏🚌😊
Thankyou ! We really enjoyed our time there xx 💖🏴
Hey lovelies 😍 great vlog! Absolutely love Glenmoor campsite 😍 it is definitely one of our fav places in Scotland 🏴 how cute were the Reindeer and some very savvy ducks! 😆 the greenloch looks amazing 🤩 shame we didn’t get to visit it - next time we will 😃 water leaks are the ball ache of anyone with a Motorhome!! Hope you now have it sorted 🙏 enjoy the rest of the Bank Holiday hope your somewhere lovely 😍 xxx 😘
Hi Guys 💖 It certainly is amazing here 👌🏴 managed to sort the leak and on the islands now ❤️❤️ see you soon ! XX
Great vlog guys reindeer were lovely and the girls are enjoying themselves. Sorry u r still having problems hope Redders can sort it ❤
Hi Gill ! ❤️💖🏴 thanks very much indeed , appreciate the watch and comment xx 🙂
Wow young Redders's , it never rains but it pours . Bit of a downer after such a great vlog but not an insurmountable problem as me and old Mrs Redders recall being stuck with a faulty ecg valve up the pyrenees without a paddle . Never mind , your a sensible lad , you'll sought it . Good to know reindeer dont like being touched , a bit like old Mrs Redders . We have to hold hands of course because that stops us from falling over . Look forward to the continuation . Take care both and love from the old Redders's .
Hey ole Redders ! ❤️ managed to sort the leak and on the islands now ! 👌🏴💖 the joys ! The reindeer were amazing , but no holding hooves 😂 stay safe out there 🙂 young Redders ❤️
Your dogs remind me of chocolate crackles .... made in AUSTRALIA.
So nice, look them up🥰
😂👌🐾🐾🐩🐩❤️ yummy
Great video as always. Loved the reindeer and your dogs are gorgeous xx
Aww thank you 🐩🐩🐾🐾 ❤️ the reindeer were amazing xx
I loved the video and to know you went to Glenmore Campsite. Hope you bumped into Susie who is Meanderingmancs and is working there at the moment. She also went to see the reindeers. Aren't they so cute. Pippa and Dolly looked like they were having such fun. I love Scotland's scenery. Thanks for sharing guys enjoy. xx❤️😸🙂
Hi Lesley ! ❤️🏴 yes we had a great time, spent the evening with Suzy too , the girls are certainly having a blast ! ❤️❤️🐩🐩🐾🐾💖
Wow! I knew the moment I saw the beach you were at Glenmore Campsite. We had a fantastic time at this place last year with our son in his camper too! I managed to get loads of fab footage of the Long Haired General and son paddleboarding with my drone and I too only just avoiding crashing into the Loch as the damn batteries on them drain down so sudden.... I'm sticking to that line 😂
It’s a fab place 👌 really scenic and so much to do , I completely agree ref the drone , those batteries can be temperamental, I have a drone in the Baltic , didn’t want to come back 😬 it’s now a submarine 😂
Fun seeing your video and the reindeer. Hoping to see them in the wild as I trek up through Sweden in my little campervan. Currently latitude 63 north, snow on the side of the roads and frozen lakes and rivers, about 5 degrees during the day today! Brrrr. !
Ooh that sounds 🥶 cold ! Hope you get to see the reindeer ❤️ safe travels 🇸🇪and thanks so much for watching 🙂
Awww bless Dolly in the loch 😂
She just loves the water 🐾🐾🐩🐩❤️🏴
Hope you get the leak sorted
Thankyou so much, it’s always something isn’t it ! 🙂💖🏴
@@redsgotravels it is. We traveled to Northumberland from Yorkshire and I told my husband we didn’t need all those tools he takes, coz we weren’t going far. Luckily for us he didn’t listen, coz our kitchen tap started leaking lol
The tool kit is certainly growing in size ! 😂 be prepared as Del Boy often says 👌😂
Old valve is probabaly stuck put it in some vinegar and clean it out, probably works again after that, then tape it to the boiler as a spare part. Cause it looks like an awful cheaply part that can fail again.
Tried the vinegar , no joy unfortunately, new part fitted, better , but frost valve knackered !! 😬😬
@@redsgotravels that's too bad I always love to have those kind of parts as a spare. You don't want this when you are in the middle of nowhere. :)
And if you have a spare part it never breaks again. 😀
Spot on advice, it’s added to my box of spares 👍👍👌❤️
Living the life there Redders! How long was the walk to the green loch?
Hey Howard ! ❤️👍 it was an hour to get to the loch from the campsite with a steady plod 🙂🏴 really worthwhile 🙂
Great video's as usual, what underwater camera are you using 🤔
Thankyou ! 💖👌🏴 it’s a GoPro 12 🙂
I thought you didn't leave dogs alone
We are building them up slowly , as long as it’s cool , they’ve been exercised, and it’s not far from where we are , we keep a watch on camera .. its few and far between, but one or two places where we wanted to look around and didn’t take dogs , we left them for a short while , and they slept 🐩🐩🐾🐾 .. 💖
