Two vans, double the fun! This time we brought along some friends we got through this RUclips-channel, how crazy is that!? They have a great VW T3 camper van and we shared a few days while going deep into a remote area of Norway with no facilities, living off grid. We also got to celebrate Norways constitutional day, May 17th, you'll learn some Norwegian traditions along the way. Daniel and Solveig was a blast to hang out with, would you like to see more videos of us traveling together?

Thanks to RUclips we got some new T3 friends, yay! Anyone wanna see more trips with them? And maybe even a tour of their van?😊
Do they have their own youtube channel?
Nope, they got Instagram, they are mentioned in the description
@@Italjohn Maybe we should ^_^

danielfeidal You got my vote for a yes
Norway was proud of five of its citizens on that day. Properly celebrating, the only way to do it ... I wish we had such a tradition in my country.
Haha, thanks! Yes, we felt like paying tribute to our great country and doing it outside in these surroundings was very exciting.
Very Beautiful landscape and a very Unique way to celebrate 17th of May Norway's National Day 👍
Everything about this film makes me happy. From the filmography to the scenery to beautiful Zulu. I need to come to Norway! And I want to cuddle your dog!
Thanks Martin! We had a blast, Zulu loves these weekend escapes. Although she is very sceptical of new people, so you might have a hard time getting snuggles from her😂
My absolute favourite van life content! Your videos are amazing. Thanks for sharing!
Definitely more of this please... Again those kind of videos keeping me looking forward finishing my restoration. Looks like you met some amazing people 🙏🏼
Thank you! This is what I envisioned when we built our van too, so I hope you get to enjoy times like these once yours is complete😉 Good luck!
Liked all you videos and specially this one that reveals what really is to own a t3, basically you have to drive it and get ready to get your hand dirty. Keeping posting guys.
I’ve realized that I need to share the authentic moments too, not just the glorified bits and pieces. The struggle is real, but often worth it because of the opportunities these vans give. Thanks for watching Diego😊
Very nice video guys... Norway is high on our wishlist so hopefully we can travel again soon! Regards from Amsterdam.
VW T3 are nice cars. A friend of mine from Berlin drives a VW ex bundeswehr and has carefully converted it into a camper. I notice how robust the T3 are built ...
I once had a T4 2.5 TDI Westfalia and went to Norway with it in 2019 ... beautiful landscapes :)
I'll go back there in 2022. But with another camper ..
Greetings from Germany
Thanks, we really like this old thing. The challenges along the way is now a part of the charm. Norway is ideal for scenic road trips :)
Love the video, I really enjoyed it. I have a T2 and this looks like many of our trips. Always great when you're able to meet up with friends. Those trips are the best. ✌🤟🤙🇺🇸
I totally agree! We’ll meet up with them more for sure. Good times. Enjoy your trips in the good old T2, great van!
please share more, that is why it is pretty much giving relaxing and calming scenes where you've been traveling...
Wow, what a beautiful video. Greetings from a US van lifer. I just go back from Colorado and as incredible as it was, I must admit the scenery were you were even beats that! I saw so many vans like yours out in the mountains! BTW, you food looks as beautiful as the scenery. I subscribe now
Hey, thanks! We really enjoy Norway now as the temperatures starts to rise during the summer months. And regarding the scenery, just wait until we start exploring the really pretty mountainous areas!😀 Thanks for following the journey, take care!
Thanks for taking us along.
Loved the two buses passing each other scene... watching this made me notice how much I miss the convoy feeling of driving to/from vw meetings.
Looking fwd to bus tour of the other van.
Thank you for watching :) I get why, it’s a lovely feeling. Even for us who are born after these vans were made, they feel so nostalgic and right :)
Can’t think of a better way to celebrate constitutional day!👏🏼😍
Same, great way to celebrate! More of this😉
Great trip! Too bad about the Wasserboxer acting up. I ditched mine after I had an important trip ruined by a bad air flow meter (and bad fuel filter... and bad O2 sensor... ). I have a 2.2L Subaru engine in my T3 now and I love it. Better in every way.
Thanks, it was fun! Yeah, it got kind of interesting as we drove back home. Lucikly they made it, but the van was taken straight to the garage afterwards. Awesome, I would love to convert to a new engine myself. We’re looking at the 1.9 AAZ, let’s see what we end up with
Great video. I miss Norway. Have cycled around your beautiful country many times.
Thank you! Wow, that must be quite the experience :D
Very creative I love it❤️ keep it up
Thank you😊😊
This is awesome, my buddy and I made a video of taking both our 80's Toyota Vans camping
Thank you! Always great times when you gather friends to go van camping🤩
When my wife and I went to Norway for our honeymoon we visited Eidsvollsbygningen where the constitution was signed as we're rented a cabin in that area. Great video as always but always sad to see a T3 broken down :( the realities of classic vans.
All the best B&Y
Nice!😊 That building is true symbol of our independence and constitutional law. Thank you, but like you said the whole trip got less joyful when their van boiled over. They have spent a fortune on it on repairs now, but it doesn’t sound like the problem is gone yet...
Sending some VW T3 love from down under! Awesome video guys, we love both vans :)
Cheers guys! Good to know that the T3’s are represented down under too. We did a solid road trip in NZ a few years ago. Australia is next when things normalize:)
I love the way you live and your dog.
Thanks! She is the best😀🐺
Great video, full of well edited content, lovely scenery & the highs n lows of Classic VW life 👍✨🚌💨
Thanks Craig for the nice feedback😊 We had a good time, and like you said there is always something waiting to go wrong when you’re dealing with these old things. Part of the fun though😃
You Guys Are Awesome ❤
Thanks🤗
Great video guys! Norway looks epic, we had planned on a road trip here this summer...that might have to wait till next year now! Keep it up ❤💪
Thank you so much🙌🏼 It’s a great country that will be very welcoming once international travel bans are removed. Fingers crossed you get to see it for yourself😊🤗
Imagine feeling proud of your country
Awesome vid guys Norway 🇳🇴 looks a beautiful country 👌🏻
Thank you! We enjoy Norway a lot!
It's realy cool buses! Thank you for good ideas and beautiful Norway views!
Absolutely, looking forward to more trips with them and other T3s! :)
A left hand drive Autohomes camper. Nice!

หนึ่งในความฝันของผมเลย ชีวิตกับT3
You guys are amaizing :) Hello from Sweden :)
Tack!😊 Glad you think so, we spent a few lovely days in Sweden last summer. Great place for a van.
Большие молодцы ребята,очень рамантично и красиво так держать
Super video. Complimenti 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
Thanks mate!😀
Cool video guys! Coming some more Vanagon camping videos in my channel soon too!
Thank you! That’s awesome :)
Always enjoy your videos
Thank you Simon! Much appreciated🙌🏼
I follow @iamnordic to see Telemark. I remember visiting Oslo in 2018 on May 17th. I actually arrived the night before and didn't realize celebrations start the day before. I would love to see it elsewhere in the country, outside of the big cities. Great footage!
May 17th is awesome, and it was nice trying something different for once :) I would fancy experiencing it as a foreigner, and May is a good time to see Norway! Thanks for the support Elizabeth😊
This looks all too familiar to me! 😬
Great video!
Indeed, it’s a common thing unfortunately. They have had the car at the garage, but they couldn’t quite understand what the problems were. Fingers crossed! Thanks for watching😉
Hi Simon.love your van.how is table secured to ceiling.?off to cornwall soon with boris the Mavic air and t4 😀
Hi! The table is fixed with some clamps that can rotate to the side when you wanna access the table. Awesome, enjoy the ride😊
Hi, it's really cool, that portable power station device at 07:32, can you provide me with the brandname and possibly a link to a website? thanks May I know which scenario will you use the portable power station?:)
Subscribe recently. Catching up on your videos. JUST... LOVE.. YOUR... SWEATERS...
🇨🇦 😀
Thanks Leonard😃 They’re pretty cool, right?🤗
Great video 👍 Can you tell me what make and model your portable wood burner is please?
Thank you🤗 It’s a Biolite Firepit, it’s pretty cool! Loving it so far
Very nice - thanks. How did all those fancy veggies taste?
They were surprisingly good! Especially the ones Daniel fried in the pan, tastes better than regular aspargus!
Great vids. Also have a T3 & bike combination (BikEnomic) keep it up. Subscribed
Thanks mate! What a great T3 you have, seems like it’s in really good condition and the original Westfalia interior never seems to stop working. Love the home office setup too👏🏼
We’ve been looking into adding some bikes to our setup, but I want something like the Super 73 RX for off-roading and grocery shopping when we are parked at a remote location. But I think we gonna swap engine first, because the steep Norwegian roads are demanding.
@@SimonBraeck The bikes look great. Would be very interested to see any videos If you decide to swap out the engine. Likely to do the same when ours gives up. Great quality videos appreciate the effort that must go into these. 👍
I would make videos of that for sure, but first we need to enjoy some cruising this summer before we start that process. I imagine it will cause a few issues and make the vehicle unusable for a while. Thanks for the kind words😊
Belated Happy " National Norway Day " ! Are any of you in the military or are any of you Veterans? If so Thank You for your Service From A Fellow Veteran > I'm a US Air Force Veteran I served during the Cold War / Vietnam ( i was never in vietnam) Era's . Who owns the beautiful dog & how old , what breed & what is the dogs name? Love the beautiful scenery .
Lovely video, very jealous.
Thanks🙌🏼 good times
What type of fired-it is that? It is really cool.
It’s called Biolite FirePit
Hi, that fireplace device thing at 06:27, can you provide me with the brandname and possibly a link to a website? thanks
Hi! It’s a biolite fire pit! :)
Hi simon. what camera and lense are you using for vloggging?? im your subscriber from the UK. keep going 😊
Hi mate! I’ve linked all my video gear in the description😊 thank you🤗
@@SimonBraeck Thanks
I dont think it is legal anywhere in Europe to keep your dog leashed to your car?
Wooow
17th of May and it looks very cold... how did you sleep when it was windy ? I know ; - )
haha! puffy sleepy bags
👍👍where is this place in Norway ?
Thank you! It’s in Telemark😊👍🏼
saludos from mexico i have one vanagon ¡
Hola! Wow, does it handle the heat okay? Keep cruising😉
Hey, how did you make the cupholders? looking for a solution for my LT :)
Ya, same question for my t3
Hey! I actually made a video where it’s shown; ruclips.net/video/RocNcojY34s/видео.html
Hils fra Lisbeth Borgan (Marita kvinde) og Alfonso I Danmark, stolt ejerne af lt31 florida.
Takk for det! Ha en fin sommer☀️🚐
Hehe! Så gøy dere fant filmen👏🏼👏🏼
Need to get me a T3 crew going. Whos Down?
Come to Norway and we'll hang out :)
Damn are all of the women in Norway this lovely ?
Hahha😂👍🏼
Never leave home without a spare temp sensor .
Lesson learned✅
10:20 ... Stop lying! 😝
Haha!
T3 and its engine... not a good combination, I'am afraid.
Samme bil som i filmen? www.finn.no/car/mobilehome/ad.html?finnkode=181871814
Det stemmer! Kommer en van tour litt senere i dag som viser alt om bilen 😃👍🏼
@@SimonBraeck Topp, gleder meg allerede. PS: Du skal vel ikke tilfeldigvis innom Molde og Atlanterhavsveien i sommer?
@Italjohn13 Kult😀 Det skal du ikke se bort fra, vi har tenkt å kjøre kysten mer eller mindre helt fra sør til Tromsø i nord. Skal si ifra hvis vi har tid til overs og er i området🙌🏼
Блин, не понятно
👍👍👍👍🇳🇵🙏
