- We are off to visit Spain for some winter sun. In this episode we cross the channel via Eurotunnel and drive through France. We battle some rather unpleasant weather on the way.

Watching this on October 13, 2024. Our Texas temperature reached 101 today. I run my AC in my bedroom at night and cover with a blanket. I understand getting comfortable.
That windscreen sticker is a brilliant idea. Great vid as well 👍
Thanks for watching 👍🙂
Hello, Nice to see your videos. We have an nv200 callesd NanoVan, that we have transformed ourself and we live in Quebec, Canada. Fun to see others live in a small space like ours. I enjoy your videos and visit across the ocean. Wish you nice weather and lots of adventures.
Hi Danielle thanks for your comment. The NV200 makes a lovely camper van especially when it comes to getting into tight spaces. Good for you for converting it yourselves, that will have saved a lot. Is yours a petrol version ? We would love to be able to explore Canada in our little van. There is a youtube channel we watch called Element Van Life, a guy in American who converted his NV200. Thanks for your comment 🙂
Yes, it is petrol. The American model his a bit different in size. But cannot buy pop top or back seat bench with brlts in Canada for it. Nobody has the government permit to adapt it in Canada. Recon Camper in California is working on getting a Canadian permit to adapt Canadian NV200. And yes I do know Elenent Van Life. You may look at Instagram and you will see our little house on wheels. instagram.com/la_Nanovan
And yes......Life is too short.
Our licensing agency is clamping down and they would not change the status on our van. It does not make a lot of difference mind. We will check out your instagram page. We will have one as well soon 👍
I've been enjoying catching up on your videos as I will soon be getting a similar van. I'm getting lots of great tips and inspiration for adventures. I must also say the production quality is superb particularly the spectacular drone footage. Well chosen music too.
Thanks for letting us know what you think Jon. You will love the van life once you get yours. A drone is great for putting a location in perspective and it always seems to go down well 👍
Brilliant video. Good to see a new series. Take care in that weather
Thanks Geoff. I am glad you enjoyed it 👍
@@LifeistooshortCK Hope you don't mind me asking, is your van diesel or petrol? Also, do use use a TV in your van? Thank you
Hi Geoff. Ours is diesel and very thrifty it is 👍. We don’t have a tv but we do watch videos and catchup on an ipad. Works great 👍
Great first video of your latest adventure. Have a great trip :)
Thanks 👍
Just great. Looking forward to France this Summer or Autumn if possible.
Wouldn’t that be nice. There are thousands of us ready like coiled springs to get back out there and start enjoying life again. At least this virus has taught us to take nothing for granted. We hope you get to enjoy that Robert 👍
@@LifeistooshortCK thanks Ken & Carole. I have a route etc from last year when we had to cancel at 48 hours notice.
LOL, love the stickers with the kph to mph conversions! I’m from the US and whenever I travel I am so confused with the kilometers per hour.
We are easily confused so anything that helps with driving is a good safety measure! 😊
Ken, very good and informative. I am looking to buy something similar. I was also at Gatwick when you worked there. You are looking well
How are you doing Geoff ? Hope all is well with you during this crisis. We are fine thanks. Lots of fun to be had with a van. Are you looking for ready built or one to fit out yourself.
@@LifeistooshortCK Ken . Looking for ready built . Your info is superb . Gives me so many options . I am now a part time Postman working 3 days a week .
I am catching up with your France & Spain vids and enjoying them. Love your cooking ideas 😀 We will use some of them. I've noticed you have a flexible chopping board. I have looked in your equipment list on Amazon but can't see one listed, do you recommend the chopping board? Thanks 😃
Thanks for watching and glad you are enjoying the videos. Yes we would recommend the chopping board, it is a nice size for a small campervan, not too big. I think we got it from Tesco in a pack of 2 🙂
I am enjoying your videos, thanks very much. I have done a couple of France trips, noticed you have not mentioned ''aires de service''. This is a network of community places where campervans can stop in safety, sometimes no charge. There is a publication available Go Motorhoming All the Aires France you might find useful to help in planning of stop overs.
Best wishes Mike, Co Durham
Hi Mike thanks for the tips. The way France is set up for campervans and motorhomes is brilliant with that system. I wish the UK would copy it. If it had not been for Covid we would have seen a few of them on that trip 👍
Enjoyed that. Looked fun. Van built by Sussex campervans?
Thanks Bill. Yes we ordered it in March 2019 and took delivery in September 2019. Very pleased with it and only wish we had done it sooner. Much better than a caravan. 👍
Hi again, where does one buy those left and right hand reminders you have on the window?
Halfords sell them. Beware ours wouldn’t come off afterwards so I left it 👍
@@LifeistooshortCK oh my thanks for the tip. I’m hoping to travel to England next year.
Where did you get the exact size spice rack fitting there so nicely by sink and how stop it from sliding if drive over bumps or corners etc , thanks again
I made it out of that plastic signage board that estate agents use. It’s cheap on Amazon and I just used a hot glue gun to stick it together. I wrapped it in grey tape to match it in with the van more. It’s held in place with a bit of velcro. The end by the bed is held closed by velcro, it opens to allow the rack to be swept out. It might not look the best but it works well and has never shifted. Inside is a little bit of foam across the front that you can’t see but that stops the bottles rattling. 👍😁
@@LifeistooshortCK gosh you are soooo handy , no way I’d be able do that,might see if there’s something I can Velcro etc
I really like the clever little cling decal (1:10). Will we be able to buy it in Ireland somewhere? I think we're going to need the reminder ;-). Also, enjoying your music choices - could you list your music and sources? Thanks!
Kate S. We got that sticker from Halfords. All my music comes from a company called Artlist.
@@LifeistooshortCK Thanks - I see there are several Halfords in Belfast - I know we will be in NI frequently. And thanks for your source of music :-). I think you must be a night owl - it's 4:00pm here :-).
