  • SHOCKING response to HUGE VANLIFE NIGHTMARE... what Citroen have done is UNBELIEVABLE!
    So this is it, if you have followed our van life journey for a while, or just tuned in when our van broke down abroad and was towed back to the UK in pieces, then here is the full update of whats happened since.
    It's been a long road to get here and it has taken some time and patience but we think you will be as surprised as we were to hear what Citroen/peugeot UK had to say about our vanlife disaster that happened in Spain.
    If you don't know what happened, we were travelling around Europe in our newly self converted campervan, having the time of our lives, when our trip was suddenly cut short by our vehicle, and tiny home, completely breaking down.
    Breaking down abroad is hard enough, but when it's also your accommodation and store for all your things its even worse. Couple that with an awful ordeal at a Spanish garage and a mammoth journey home without our van, with our dog, at christmas and on top of Brexit then you have a recipe for quite the journey, as ide from the one more obvious disaster, this really is the worst thing about vanlife!
    This update is long awaited, so join us on this vlog for the whole story of what happens next, grab a brew, it's quite the shocker...
    Follow us on our journey as we attempt to create a proper youtube travel series as we travel across Europe, two female travelers, a dog and a cat.
    Hit the subscribe button to see where our little tiny home on wheels takes us next and how we cope living in a van!

    To hear that Citroen has stood by their product, paid for the lot on a 6 year old van is fantastic, well done Citroen plus Citroen Margate. Regards the up dates, a van wrap plus up grade the wheels. It would transform it from a parcel delivery van to a motor home plus it would raise the value when you come to sell it.

    So glad to see AJ doing so well too. It's all coming together and normality isn't far away.
    That's brilliant of you to give the money you raised to a charity, and the lockdown puppy idea is inspired. So many people are going to discover having a dog isn't as easy when you have to go to out work all day and I dread the day when so many of them will have to be rehomed. I do wish people would think things through before leaping into getting an animal. Charlie and Meg (our dogs) say thank you ladies, as does The Toastmeister, our cat 👍
    Love to all 3 of you and an extra big one for your "missing" cat 😀💖

    I know it´s a year on, but I only just discovered you yesterday at 4 am ☺. I can sympathise with your breakdown. 2 long stories short---- 2 months after my husband died I was on my way to stay with friends 650 km away when my Navajo came to a grinding halt about 100 km from my destination. It took 7 weeks to get it back.
    On June 1st last year after filling with gas and disconnecting the gas. gun, the van caught light and burnt the side, I am still waiting for door and other parts to come from England, hopefully they will be on their way next week, No damage inside the van except the fridge is Kupput.
    I have seen 4 of your videos now and loved every one of them, it´s a pity they are not numbered because now I just have to watch whatever pops up from whenever..

In addition every time I asked a build question, you were kind enough to answer.
