    Be proud of yourself for sure , you just manifested yourself into a van mechanic and 12 volt electrician.

    Interesting video of real van life - don't see much about The Netherlands. Some very interesting places there. I was glad that those adjustable pliers didn't short across your 12v batteries - they would melt. only 12v but lots of current.

      Yes, that’s the trouble when you don’t know what you’re doing. I’m very glad they didn’t short across the battery too.
      There is more coming on The Nertherlands in my next video. I love the place.

    🔧 Well done! 🙂
    You should put together an 'essentials' Tool Kit 🧰🛠️🪛to keep in the van because you never know when you're gonna need a hammer or spanner! 😉You can buy cheap tools in Action or B&M 😃

    Good on Ya Carly for sorting out your issues. I think having your self a tool kit is as essential as the coffee maker and the burger king :)
    I noticed that when working on the batteries you laid your spanner down on top of the batteries. Best not to do this and always prep your self a tool area off to the side of your work space before you start. You can place loose screws and nuts there as well. You may have an isolating switch for your batteries.......if not would be good to get one installed. Good time to get thermal underwear :)
    Take care and enjoy the ride.

    Hi Carly, new to Vanlife so tahing in all advice. Recently tried a night near Sherwood forest but the newly installed diesel heater would not work with less than 10volts. We had fridge and lights on so no heat. Survived and on 2nd night out had electric hook up. All a learning curve. All the best and will be following you . Cheers!

    Hello in Temse Belgium, there is a parking site for campers, and the name is De Zaad, it is paying and you can stay for a maximum of 3 days and you can see water and electricity. It is just for information

    Great video and glad you sorted everything out. But im surprised you dont have a small toolset also as an electrician always keep terminals tight as it will cause you lots of problems and a battery switch for emergencies. Take care and happy Christmas and New Year

    When you get the chance it would be a good idea to get yourself a kill switch fitted. The batteries should not be disconnected while the solar panel is live as the solar power had nowhere to put the charge and it can knacker the charge controller..

    You might have a fusebox with switches hidden somewhere, i know mine does but that might be just for the 240v juice.

    Next year you could do EU in Oct/Nov, and then Morocco (No Visa + 90days stay) then do EU for one month, going back to UK. Suggest investment in Calor gas heater as a spare...?

      If you donot want to go to Morocco. You can go around the other way via Croatia, then onto Montenegro ( No Schengan = 90 days No Visa)

    PLEASE don't tell people where you are. Be at least two or three days ahead in a different place. Don't tell people where your going to either. There must be at several stalkers planning things by now. It's best to post your videos around 10 days clear to be completely safe. Please listen to good advice and travel to warmer climates as it's gets colder, saves a lot of money and is what millions of campers do.
