    I think the light staying on, on one side is a parking light, which comes on if the indicator is on, on that side, and you take the key out. Just turn the indicators off when you stop and it might stop doing it.

      I was about to post the same thing, it's designed that way. If you park on the opposite side of the road approaching cars cannot see your reflectors so you put the indicator on, road side, and turn off the ignition. This leaves the side lights on on that side of the car.

    Fun vlog😊. Travel Hack... wear those thin plastic tourist coats over your main coats.. then your coats and clothes stay dry underneath. The thin plastic coats you can shake most of the water off and fold wet side together, put in plastic bag at the front of the van on the floor... so less wet stuff in back of van, less wet clothes to dry and less moisture/condensation in van... my kids and I did this on our 3 week road trip in the UK in the summer.. it was great. Plus we always had the coats with us.. so on days we had no other coats (because it was warm) with us, we could just throw them on for the rain shower and then take them off again after. We will never travel again without them. Ps. I use a small micofiber travel towel to wipe them dry...that also dries quick in a case/cover.

    We had the same rain but at least we were in a house and I once spent 24 hours in a tiny tent due to rain. But several days in a camper sounds like no fun at all, so the fact you keep smiling is amazing. And Noah seemed fairly oblivious too. Your next stops are, I hope, a tour of Scotland's best waterfalls, all of which are brim-full after the storms!

      We have something here in the us called “rain suits” - I think Noah may have had one but it’s a must for a crawling baby! My crawling baby loves getting wiggles outside in it. Keeps her dry and allows her freedom

    Hi Guys, The headlight staying on is not a fault. It's a parking light that is controlled by your indicator stalk. You had left your right indicator on as can be seen when you started the engine. Had you left the left indicator on the left headlight would be illuminated. It's a thing that VW had on older models. Hope this helps and I hope it makes sense with all the lefts and rights 🙂

    We had flooding in New York. And, here in Southern Colorado, last summer. we had torrents of rain. And, now in November it's like summer. I'm sure Scotland gets a good amount of rain; but, it just seems wetter everywhere. Your little bean is so cute. Rain or not; he's on his own mission - learning to crawl. A whiskey is a good way to warm up. Cheers!

    Between Riverside, CA and Palm Springs, CA there are these two giant dinosaur fiberglass statues off a cheesy onramp with a Carl's Jr. and a Shell station, and that is about it. Just out there in the desert somewhere. The two horse heads remind me of that desolate place. Hope you are all three doing well, not stressing too much, and enjoyed your trip to Scotland. When I look at maps it seems so far a drive to take - like 400 miles - but so many people like to go there. I have never been to Scotland, Ireland, or Wales, just spent a couple days sightseeing in London as a child. When I did return to Europe as an adult I never got back to the UK as it was well before the Chunnel and Eurail is a completely separate entity, so it was hard to justify it without picking one or the other. Hope to go back someday and see a little bit more of places like Scotland, Ireland, and Wales. I know it gets cold but as long as you are prepared and stay out of the harsh elements traveling in winter is not so bad.

    It’s not an electrical problem it’s a parking light which is common on the continent. When you turn the engine off if you leave the indicator on which ever direction you’ve chosen it turns that sides lights on as a warning to road users when your on the side of the road.

Will also work via the key in the lock by just turning and holding it in unlock for down and lock for up . Perfect in a hot day to air out the van before getting to it if your been out a walk ..

    I’ve had a few missed attempts but watching yours just made it really. I mean if you can do it with a baby certainly I can do it on my own ? I am always a paid campsite person because I just never wanna have a knock on the campervan. However I might be willing to try it in Scotland being It is allowed there and I’ve got a small minivan Camper. Thanks for the video
    Growing up as a child, I lived in California and my parents took me to England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Italy, et cetera all over Europe basically and I absolutely loved
