I’m so invested in this folding camper series… words that I never thought I’d utter. Interesting, wholesome, funny entertainment. What’s not to like? Looking forward to more adventures!
The hubcaps really transform the Berlingo. Before I retired, I was working in a small IT department for a company that was out in the countryside, with IT being in a dedicated building surrounded by apple orchards. Long story short, we got ourselves a couple of picnic tables and shortly after, we bought a gazebo, prompting the obvious question: how many programmers does it take to erect a gazebo ? I have to say, it was a brilliant addition because every year from late spring to early fall we used it as an additional conference room. Project meetings while sitting outside are much less stressful.
I really love the fact that your 'other-arf' is so interested in helping you with the Channel. It makes the videos so much more relaxed and adds another viewpoint into the mix :) x
Bringing your home with you when you travel to events or shoots is such a good idea! I’ve devoured all these camping videos today; it’s so nice to see it get more settled-in, getting more out of the space, and so on. I’m sure before long, Miss HubNut will have a mental database of all the best campsites near home and common far-away destinations!
Halogen oven for the winner! I used to laugh when my mother in law cooked every meal in there until she bought us one and it's a game changer! Bella looks a different car with the wheel trims and the green really pops in the sun.
Put your chicken in a roasting bag before you cook it. Saves on cleaning, keeps the chicken moist and preserves the juices for fantastic gravy and sauces.
Another wholesome laugh-fest. I fell of the sofa of laughter when the dog went berserk and tried to escape with the furniture in tow. Gazebo raising was more of a slow burn, building to a chuckle crescendo. Thanks hubnut, you never disappoint.
Brilliant video we have a folding camper very similar to yours me and my wife where in stitches watching you putting up the Gazebo reminds us of the awning that’s a video we can’t wait to see because when you take the hubletts you really going too need it best get practicing mate great channel even my wife likes it and she hates car stuff
Delighted Bella is fixed! Let's go international - get Bella and Bob to some French Atlantic coast campsites. Amazing camping and cooking opportunities...........
Absolutely loving your "On the road" touring videos. A great couple, genuine, authentic and very entertaining. My kinda people, Love it. Strong work... 😎♠️
As others have said, the wheel trims make such a difference. It was the same with my mother's Mk2 Ford Focus which was running bare steelies for months then got some original trims. Incidentally that has also had far more than its market resale value spent on it in repairs/preventative maintenance recently. I don't regret it though as even a 56 plate Focus deserves to stay on the road when they are now at an age of being scrapped regularly.
Loving these excerpts from Bob Life. One minor advantage of a caravan is that there's a higher roofline to cram stuff under. (Thinking of your query about how to fit everything into Bella when you're transporting Hublets and all their gear as well as yourselves). Enjoy the Bob life. Signed, an envious subscriber.
Top tip: buy from Halfords a few of their super strong tent pegs, to supplement the ones supplied with the awning. They can be hammered through the gravel of a pitch. I ended up buying a small lump hammer from a bargain shop for this purpose, and the hammer and pegs have stood us in good stead for many, many camping trips. You will need pliers or maybe a mole wrench to get them back out of the ground! It's great to see Bella back to full fitness and looking spiffy with her new wheel trims. I hooted with laughter when the dogs sent the picnic table flying! Been there, done that. Several times over......
Thank you for the brilliant update! Bella and Bob are doing great! That gazebo though, it made me us cringe lol. And the dogs causing carnage with your tables etc priceless. Reminds me of us and our mad animals lol. Great content! 👍
That gazebo is like a bloody circus tent! Made me laugh when you said "Here was me wondering if it'd be too small." That site looks great and not too dear either. I'd probably end up spending a fortune on coffee and pizza but I'm ok with that, I do that already.
Tottally agree with the towing. I recently started towing with our trailer tent. Just been away in it for the first time and enjoyed every minute. Tow car is a Skoda Octavia vrs so plenty of torque and power. Being the hatchback have the same issue as you with Betty. Thanks of the videos. Happy camping as well as motoring.
Roof box my advice, you would be surprised how much you can fit in one and with the new suspension should be ok to carry extra weight! On another note, you were very lucky to pick up the folding camper at that price,,,i didn't know these existed, only though trailer tent was the only thing, the folding camper is ideal for us but can't find one on a poor mans budget!
Don't worry too much Miss Hubnut my mate once ordered a door ringer for his shop off of Ebay. When it turned up it was a scaled down version of a door ring made for a dolls house shop. The measurements were in small print somewhere but you gotta watch out. Plus I think you got charged £5 extra cos you went off plot.
How about full appreciation for the glorious green Berlingo with a full paint correction? That would really make that green pop. I bet you wouldn’t see that anywhere else on RUclips.....😉
What a fun video, we used to have a Remoska (from Lakeland) as a table top cooker, I think it was around 470W so ok with virtually every electric hookup. You seem well sorted for couples' accommodation, adding Hublets will certainly be interesting! Miss Hubnut looks fab in her dress too!
Carry on camping hubnut style. Comedy brought to us with dogs causing havoc and the assembly of a gazebo. Bella and bob are looking great though with their new wheel trims.
Instead of cluttering the camper with stuff you can store it outside underneath the bed pull-outs. Find or make some large plastic or vinyl bags with zips. Lots of people - including me - ditch the wardrobe because it's near-useless and having the space is much better. You can get skirts to drape around the bed pull-outs, I've got them but don't use them. I'd offer them to you but they're the wrong colour for your camper.
Very brave putting up a new tent for the first time in public. Now I understand why my father made us practice in the back garden before camping trips lol.
I had a Conway Cruiser back in the late 80's and towed it all round Europe. It was a fantastic piece of kit, very comfy and very well built. I have very fond memories of sitting in it overlooking the Mediterranean in the South of France. You barely noticed that you were towing it.......unlike a caravan which obscures rear view and causes so much drag whilst altering the handling of the car. Not with the Conway though, braked trailer made for easy control and towing.
Just been doing up a small caravan to tow behind my classic citroen DS. Off to tour France for a week in 2 days time, ( without caravan) and then we will have a small local trip with the caravan. Loving this and picking up tips. You work great together and make me smile. The berlingo and Bob look a smart outfit now.
I have never camped, caravaned, or trailer tented, but i am loving this mini series on the benefits of your set up, and reviews on what the different sites you visited had to offer. Very usefull indeed.
New wheeltrims look fantastic - I’m glad though that you mentioned about painting the steel wheels black! Your caravan-tent set up has come on leaps and bounds!
What a grand video, Ian. I love the interactions between you and Karley. You to are a priceless team. Bob is certainly earning his keep, and Bella is terrific. I do have to wonder about the reported fuel consumption with Betty. It goes to reinforce my dislike of 6 cylinder engines. The torque peak is okay, but the question is where it lands in the revs. My 89 Grand Marquis with the 5.8 litre V8 had 528 nm of torque at 2,200 rpm. A trailer like Bob was not even felt in the car, which was rated for 2½ tons metric tons of trailer. Not towing, or with a small trailer like Bob, the car would do 39-40 mpg on the motorway with no problem.
If the lid of your esky (coolbox) is just hollow blow moulded plastic. Drill a small hole in either side and pump it full of expanding builders foam for increased insulation. (Its best to place a flat weight on the lid whilst filling with foam to stop it bulging)
I have been camping with Bell tents. I soon wanted a bit more luxury, such as toilets, sleeping in a proper bed and cooked breakfast. I didn't want to get a caravan so I investigated a waterproof trailer tent But then found Budget hotels with running water,soft and comfy beds. Ps.you and miss hubut kept me sane during lockdown, Thanks 😊
Loved the flourescent guy ropes at twilight, sort of budget laser display (a bit more subtle than your flashing neighbours...), another Hubnut masterpiece !!!!!
I’m loving these camping vids, I really enjoy the pair of you and the dogs, it will be good to see the whole family enjoying the camping soon. I’m realising I’ve missed out on a lot, I’ve been single for many years and not been on holiday since 2004, I’ve no family that live close and life passes you by. I’m looking into the folding camper, caravan deals on eBay and you got an absolute bargain, I hope for one to.
Welcome to East Sussex Hubnut - we love it and have spent 24 wonderful years here - you are a hop and skip away from where we live. Enjoy your holiday! 😁
When you add the weight of the Hublets plus their "stuff" plus the temptation to add additional camping items, I wonder if the Berlingo will be a little underpowered ? A more modern turbo diesel would have more power and torque and a bit more spent upfront might have been a better option. In hindsight of course.
Another great video following the HubNut's and Doglet's in their travels with the Conway Cruiser and Bella. The 'tutorial' on how to erect a gazebo was 'rivetting' 🙂 Nice review of the leisure park at the end,
Air fryers are amazing, do brilliant chips in 10 minutes, if you use oven food you need to add no oil, so simply stuff like breaded chicken etc is cooked healthier
You drove past my house almost! I see that master every day and its been there for years and years. It upsets me greatly but apparently the owner will not let it go.
We've got one of those airfryers at home...fantastic piece of kit Yes you can cook a roast dinner in it jacket potatoes etc..... A crispy bacon sandwich in ten minutes .
Your Berlingo seems to be a very practical vehicle, despite the recent bills. Looking good, inside and out and seems to be a comfortable and pleasant driving experience for you. Looks to have been an excellent choice that has widened your possibilities a bit. Maybe you'll even have a continental motoring roadtrip with Bella and Bob sometime. That could be fun! I rather took for granted the white Berlingo diesel vans I drove vast distances in for the utility company over a decade back, but in retrospect they were pretty good. They were basic and unglamorous, comfortable enough for 12 hour workdays driving all over Southern Scotland in all weathers, did their job well enough without fuss and I didn't have too many problems with them.
Lots of roof racks (mahoosive for berlingos) and roof boxes 2nd hand.) glad Bella is doing her job. As ure finding, what a practical car. I ve bought a cam pal unit to sleep in mine but I am single would not fit ur gang in. U have really tidied her up. The mk 1 is a good looking car imo and will be a future classic. My brother in law has this engine in his 406hdi with 300k on
As someone with a Peugeot Partner micro camper these camping videos fascinate me. Every time I go out I try to take less stuff than last time and pare it down for more and more space and here you are buying more and more stuff :) Two different styles of camping with the same style of excellent Minivan. These Berlingos and Partners are the last bastion of practicality in a world of SUVs (and I would trust mine to get me out of a muddy field more than most wide tyred SUVs too).
Also for a smaller and more weatherproof gazebo try the Quechua Arpenaz M from Decathlon. It fits around the back of the berlingo as a drive away awning you can open the tailgate into or it can stand alone.
Loving the camping vids Ian & miss hubnut, nice to have a great variation of content too, also looking forward to seeing how chemy is progressing, look forward to seeing her on the road again, and then more learner driving fun for miss hubnut.
You'd think with only two polls it would be a doddle to put up, but it's more of a faff than a standard gazebo but saying that it looks better. Have a great time and enjoy yourselves.👍
Not really a Citroen fan but the more I watch the videos of the Berlingo the more I think one would be perfect for us. We now have two border collies and the space and practically combined with the low loading of the Berlingo looks ideal.
@@HubNut we knew what you meant, I just couldn’t resist pulling your leg. I’m really enjoying the Bob content (much more than I thought I would) and the Berlingo (I’m even thinking of getting on when I change my car!)
The wheel trims are a big improvement. Funny enough I was thinking about how an old Renault Master would be an interesting camper project. I used to deliver steel beams to a place in lower Dicker and one of the guys there had a Honda CBX.
You need a "silver mesh shade tarp" . We use a big one for dog agility days. It covers a gazebo and the car. The mesh allows a breeze as well as light through it. If you covered Bob it would be very pleasant to be in all day even in the recent heat. If you cover a car it will stay cool enough for the dogs with the rear hatch and windows open.
It's nice to see how much your loving camping life why working on road and Berlingo looks like a different car with the new wheel trims I hope to see more videos of you with the family camping with you thank you bottom also nice see how much you get on about and bounce off each other
Much approval for the halogen oven, I don't camp, caravan or even fold camper but I do roast myself a chicken on a Friday to keep me supplied with cold chicken over the weekend. The halogen oven is a godsend in this hot weather too as it doesn't make the kitchen unbearably hot as it would if you put the full oven on, plus in these times the reduced use of electricity helps too.
Really lovely, informative, video about your touring experience. I'm delighted that you're having such a positive experience with "Bob"! Whilst, obvs, you won't become a "camping/touring" channel, the addition of "Bob" leads to more interesting adventures. Top video, thank you.
those halogen air fryers are amazing, been using one for many years after i was in a student dorm w/o an oven and needed some form of compact oven that had air circulation and not just top/bottom heat
I’m so invested in this folding camper series… words that I never thought I’d utter. Interesting, wholesome, funny entertainment. What’s not to like? Looking forward to more adventures!
Just like a modern version of carry on camping, plus the innuendo bingo 😂😂 absolutely love it 👌

gazebo.erect();
I really love the fact that your 'other-arf' is so interested in helping you with the Channel. It makes the videos so much more relaxed and adds another viewpoint into the mix :) x
Love it that the gazebo is bigger than Bob! You could nearly use it as an outside garage for Bella!
Bringing your home with you when you travel to events or shoots is such a good idea! I’ve devoured all these camping videos today; it’s so nice to see it get more settled-in, getting more out of the space, and so on. I’m sure before long, Miss HubNut will have a mental database of all the best campsites near home and common far-away destinations!
I love all HubNut content but loving these Bella & Bob series of videos, as a caravaner myself, it's very relatable.
Agree. I like the way the Hubnuts do a bit of people watching which is almost obligatory on caravan sites lol.
Halogen oven for the winner! I used to laugh when my mother in law cooked every meal in there until she bought us one and it's a game changer! Bella looks a different car with the wheel trims and the green really pops in the sun.
Yeah, Bella looking smart now.
Modern Air fryer much better
Put your chicken in a roasting bag before you cook it. Saves on cleaning, keeps the chicken moist and preserves the juices for fantastic gravy and sauces.
This channel just keeps getting better I love the varied content I also really enjoy what Mrs hubnut has brought to the channel THANKS YOU BOTH 👍👌
Another wholesome laugh-fest. I fell of the sofa of laughter when the dog went berserk and tried to escape with the furniture in tow. Gazebo raising was more of a slow burn, building to a chuckle crescendo. Thanks hubnut, you never disappoint.
Really enjoyed the camping episodes during the summer, a nice alternative to the cars. Brilliant channel Ian, love it.
Campsites open again…a new year of touring begins…yay, enjoy 😃👍⛺
The wheeltrims have completely transformed the looks. Lovely.
These camping trips look so much fun! Glad that you are able to make the most of Bob, Bella and the summer weather.
Brilliant video we have a folding camper very similar to yours me and my wife where in stitches watching you putting up the Gazebo reminds us of the awning that’s a video we can’t wait to see because when you take the hubletts you really going too need it best get practicing mate great channel even my wife likes it and she hates car stuff
Delighted Bella is fixed! Let's go international - get Bella and Bob to some French Atlantic coast campsites. Amazing camping and cooking opportunities...........
This is just perfect Hubnut, I think you might have needed a 3 day residential course to put up that gazebo and maybe 4 others to help.
Looking really good Ian…refining the whole setup👍
you guys...turned off a roundabout and saw a Conway and I couldn't help but cheer, in derby
Absolutely loving your "On the road" touring videos. A great couple, genuine, authentic and very entertaining. My kinda people, Love it. Strong work... 😎♠️
It's great to watch two experts in action still sniggering brilliant

Loving the adventures of Bella and Bob. Keep them coming.
Bug-smoking-coil things worked perfectly but got burn marks in our caravan. Be safe! Hilarious tent scene! Loved it!

(Thinking of your query about how to fit everything into Bella when you're transporting Hublets and all their gear as well as yourselves). Enjoy the Bob life. Signed, an envious subscriber.
I had a Berlingo from new for 13 years, great motor and I miss it greatly.

A Conway Cruiser is the Rolls Royce among campervans.
Looks like a lovely site for me and the Wifey plus the dog to visit with my caravan. Only 49miles from my homestead as well. Thanks for sharing.
Don't worry too much Miss Hubnut my mate once ordered a door ringer for his shop off of Ebay. When it turned up it was a scaled down version of a door ring made for a dolls house shop. The measurements were in small print somewhere but you gotta watch out. Plus I think you got charged £5 extra cos you went off plot.
You can buy hard standing pegs look like 6 inch nails with plastic ends to attach guidelines.
The watching is as chilled as the couple and the pace. You two do complement each other very well
Absolutely brilliant video Ian and miss hubnut you to are fantastic together the videos of the camps are so interesting
How about full appreciation for the glorious green Berlingo with a full paint correction? That would really make that green pop. I bet you wouldn’t see that anywhere else on RUclips.....😉
It would be quite a job! She's absolutely covered in scratches and dents.
What a fun video, we used to have a Remoska (from Lakeland) as a table top cooker, I think it was around 470W so ok with virtually every electric hookup. You seem well sorted for couples' accommodation, adding Hublets will certainly be interesting! Miss Hubnut looks fab in her dress too!

Bella looks wonderful with her new wheel trims. Much better then my parents scruffy, blue, facelift 05 model.

You need TWC salt and pepper shakers. Had a good chuckle watching the gazebo go up and no one died or was murdered so well done Lol.

You two are so entertaining in this video
Thanks for the tip regarding packing the cool box with towels, will tell the wife👍.
For storage ( or even as separate sleeping compartment at a push) you can get ‘skirts’ that enclose the areas under the pull-out bed areas
What a grand video, Ian. I love the interactions between you and Karley. You to are a priceless team. Bob is certainly earning his keep, and Bella is terrific. I do have to wonder about the reported fuel consumption with Betty. It goes to reinforce my dislike of 6 cylinder engines.

Ps.you and miss hubut kept me sane during lockdown, Thanks 😊
Hi. If you install your inner tent roof liner it will create a pocket to trap the heat from the roof canvas. Makes a big difference in hot weather. X
Loved the flourescent guy ropes at twilight, sort of budget laser display (a bit more subtle than your flashing neighbours...), another Hubnut masterpiece !!!!!
It is so nice to see the Welsh language featured on your merchandise! 'Croeso i HubNut' and 'Araf' painted on the road. Da iawn!!
We're proud of where we live. I sadly don't speak much Welsh but Miss HubNut is fluent.
I’m loving these camping vids, I really enjoy the pair of you and the dogs, it will be good to see the whole family enjoying the camping soon.

Welcome to East Sussex Hubnut - we love it and have spent 24 wonderful years here - you are a hop and skip away from where we live. Enjoy your holiday! 😁
I laughed along with this video in all the correct ways. A perfect advertisement for camping if ever there was 👍
When you add the weight of the Hublets plus their "stuff" plus the temptation to add additional camping items, I wonder if the Berlingo will be a little underpowered ?
A more modern turbo diesel would have more power and torque and a bit more spent upfront might have been a better option. In hindsight of course.
I use a gazebo like that for car painting. The gause keeps the bugs out of the paint. It's possible to get a good result in it even when it's raining.
Another great video following the HubNut's and Doglet's in their travels with the Conway Cruiser and Bella. The 'tutorial' on how to erect a gazebo was 'rivetting' 🙂 Nice review of the leisure park at the end,
Another great video Ian, Bella is certainly looking very well now,

Excellent video guys. Very entertaining.
Thinking of buying an air fryer and would appreciate your review of same !😀
In Australia you can buy large bags of ice cubes from most service stations to replenish your Esky (cool box).
We've got one of those airfryers at home...fantastic piece of kit Yes you can cook a roast dinner in it jacket potatoes etc..... A crispy bacon sandwich in ten minutes .
Don’t worry not now a camping channel. Lol. I’d have had a similar disclaimer !!!!! It’s only summer. Making most of it

Amdro camper vans in North wales do a Boot Tent which attaches to tailgate, not cheap but it’s what is needed.
Enjoying these camping trips 🤣👍
The Gazebo build was quite hilarious,I was expecting Sid James and the carry on crew to arrive at any minute.
Lots of roof racks (mahoosive for berlingos) and roof boxes 2nd hand.) glad Bella is doing her job. As ure finding, what a practical car.

I lost an arch there somewhere...
@@HubNut we knew what you meant, I just couldn’t resist pulling your leg.

These Bob camping videos have been brilliant, Loved the Gazebo chaos in this one!!
I like the gazebo! Will certainly keep the midges etc out :)
Loving all the double entendres in this video. Ooh Matron!! 😄
Much approval for the halogen oven, I don't camp, caravan or even fold camper but I do roast myself a chicken on a Friday to keep me supplied with cold chicken over the weekend. The halogen oven is a godsend in this hot weather too as it doesn't make the kitchen unbearably hot as it would if you put the full oven on, plus in these times the reduced use of electricity helps too.
Really lovely, informative, video about your touring experience. I'm delighted that you're having such a positive experience with "Bob"! Whilst, obvs, you won't become a "camping/touring" channel, the addition of "Bob" leads to more interesting adventures. Top video, thank you.
Yeah enjoying the ‘Carry on camping’. No one has to watch it if they don’t want too.
You need to par boil the potatoes 🥔 before they go in the halogen oven
those halogen air fryers are amazing, been using one for many years after i was in a student dorm w/o an oven and needed some form of compact oven that had air circulation and not just top/bottom heat
Great stuff! You need a dog barrier in Bella, then you can stack up to the roof 😀
It's a serious consideration, though I then lose the over-Bob view.
@@HubNut Roof Box?
Excellent news that bellas back on the road and lovin your camping trips
Love watching all your adventures with cars and bob always cheers me up thanks
Haha that gazebo build made my day
Bella really was a very good purchase. Its a car Id never really considered before but it makes a lot of sense.
Bella Looks splendid in her New wheel trims and so does Bob
