VAN GEAR
We use an EcoFlow Delta Max 2 with solar panels for our electricity on the road. We never have to plug into campsite electricity supplies during the summer months. You can find them here amzn.to/43Mm8CQ
We use these lights in the van amzn.to/42WVXbq - they are USB powered, last ages on a charge and they are detachable so you can take them to the toilet block at night time.
This is our trusty diesel heater which we've had zero issues with amzn.to/46fVG6i - it is very warm and extremely economical. We upgraded some of the parts which can be found here -
Fuel line amzn.to/3PDxTr5
Exhaust amzn.to/46cammI
Turret amzn.to/3PmLrH9
Drill bit for Turret fitting amzn.to/3NEEPCT
Hole Saw for Turret fitting amzn.to/3NjmR7i
Heat Proof Sealant amzn.to/3Nb40eG
Claire uses the heater in combination with this oversized hoodie which keeps her warm even in the Alps in winter amzn.to/42JG6Nf
Our water tap is USB powered, lasts ages and doesn't let us down amzn.to/46aamDN
Our sink is just a sink but works well amzn.to/445I2kb
We use 2 Jerry Cans for fresh and waste water amzn.to/3PlSQGv
These are our blackout curtains that are light weight and block the light brilliantly amzn.to/3XcCpyp
Our windows have this stuff across them amzn.to/3NDn0Uv - we keep them closed with these press studs - amzn.to/3qRqUAm
This handy humidity and temperature monitor is good for keeping an eye on the interior amzn.to/3CDw5Xi
These are hands down the best travel towels. They are small to pack and work like magic at drying us off amzn.to/3JmDjCH
When we cook in the van we use our beloved Ridge Monkey which can be found here amzn.to/3PDxa9l and my old Trangia Stove which is bullet proof. They can be found here amzn.to/3PkRRX6
We use an iPad for navigation which is awesome. We mount this over our existing radio with these mounts amzn.to/46qcYxF - they are really good and we haven't had any accidents.
The van is insulated with this insulation amzn.to/3XiVFKM - Claire is usually cold in the house but finds that she is always warm in the van.
We used this for sound deadening the van which has made it so much quieter on the road amzn.to/3Jm8EFr
CAMERA GEAR
Our footage is shot on a GoPro which we highly recommend for travel as they fit into your pocket and your footage is stabilised. These are well worth having and are way better than your phone camera. You can find these here amzn.to/3pl9pb3 - because we use external microphones we use a media mod that allows this. You can find this here amzn.to/3NCxR13
You may notice that we have really good low-light footage in our recent videos. This has been made possible with the Sony ZV-E10 camera. It's a vlogging camera with a swing-out screen and gives excellent quality images without being too big and heavy. You can find these here amzn.to/448TED2 and the lens that we use here amzn.to/3Nj1brU - the lens is extremely important for low light.
One of the problems with the Sony camera is it is stabilised as well as the GoPro so we use this gimbal when out to smooth out the shots.
We use a lot of batteries when out and about so we have added these extra batteries with chargers to our collection amzn.to/3NDVtm4
This is our tripod which is great as it doubles as a monopod amzn.to/3p3IGzW - it's lightweight and easy to carry around.
I love our camera bag, it's easy to arrange things how you want to with individual compartments, it's got a waterproof cover and you can strap the tripod to it amzn.to/3qRa0Si
We use Comica C3 wireless microphones so that you can all hear us clearly. They are a budget mic but really good for capturing dialogue as we are out and about. You can find these here amzn.to/3Nh32xF
These memory cards work really well for our 4K footage amzn.to/3Jmkj7e
What would you have done?
You poor thing 😩 What an absolute nightmare. I was stressed out just watching that. I do hope St. Christopher gets sorted.
St Christopher is back up and running!!!! Andy not so much….!! 🥴🥴
Thats why we have Mayday Green Flag through the Caravan and Motorhome Club. Its worth the joining fee just to get extra cover. Glad you and the van are ok
I’m on it. Thanks for the tip 👍
Hi, only just seen your nightmare vlog, you are a braver man than me to have stayed.
Hope work wasn't too bad and hopefully the van is sorted.
Let's hope your next vlog is a nicer experience looking forward to it 😊.
PS have you thought about looking at CL sites with you being CAMC members there is some lovely ones and usually cheaper.
Paul and Joanne 👍
Thanks guys, vans all sorted so we are looking forward to getting back out on the road. We’ll definitely take a look at CL sites, we are all for the cheaper option 😊 Take care both of you.
Hi Paul and Joanne. We hope you are well. We are looking at CL sites and have got some dates in the diary!! Hooray!!
Andy says work was fine, esp when he has finished!! and he has sorted the van out so we ready for our next adventure. What’s yours?
Hope you got sorted out for your next adventure.
Hi there.
Adventures never stop! 🚐 🏝️
Eden lake vibe 😬
Ha yeah 😂
edge of my seat stuff....
Crazy Barnsley nights!!
@@Stchristopherofatlantis Just like Wigan where I find myself right now.. lol
I don't know how you managed to get through it without Claire. I'm sure she would have sorted both the van and the boy racers. 🙂
It was tough but....wait she was asleep
Could have been worse, st christopher could have broken down in Goldthorpe. At least you still have his wheels :)
Hi Sarah. 😂😂😂 I’ve never been to Goldthorpe
@@Stchristopherofatlantis your not missing much at all 😁
This makes our blood boil 😡
APT 🐾
🚐
Spot of Grand Theft Barnsley😵💫
That made me laugh!!! Hold tight!
@@Stchristopherofatlantis Thank you I'm here all week!
I pay £9 a month for top recovery on a van with rac peace off mind and they have never let me down worth thinking about😂
Hi. Thanks for this, sounds good 👍
Sounds pretty bad. Luckily your weren't in a car. Our alternator packed up at the petrol pumps on a French motorway. Without going into details, it took four days to get fixed, 1000 euro bill and four nights in an hotel (thank you Green Flag) in a city we didn't really like. One minute you're flying alone enjoying life, next you are a pedestrian, stuck where you conked out.
Crikey. Getting stuck in France is not ideal at all!!! Eek
You did well not to engage with them. Hope everything is ok with St Chris.. Keep your heads up and don't let society upset your plans.
Hi John, we out in the van again this weekend 🌞
Why didnt you call the police?
I would have done if they damaged the van.
Good thing Pabbers and Claire weren't with you
🤣🤣🚐🚐
Why didn't u call police ? As the kids wouldn't of known ud called them, because u said the police patrol there anyway.
I didn’t think of that 🥴
not sure im in favour of this video, its looking like barnsley is an unsafe & bad place to be/stay. Im sure most towns have their good & bad spots, just so happens you had to breakdown in the worst car park in town & your breakdown has run out.. 🤔maybe bit of coincidence just to get another video out there.. 🤷 barnsley is no worse than anywhere else.
We love Barnsley, it’s got some great places but that particular car park seems to have a problem sometimes just like anywhere else. Sorry you didn’t like this one, hopefully I’ll not have to stay overnight in it again. We’re back to the normal adventures in the next video 👍
Wow! I hope you have renewed your breakdown cover for St. Chris now - just in case 🚐
All renewed 🚐 ☀️
