    Hi Scott and Ellie.
    It was fantastic to bump into you at the Bristol Galleries (the mall) today.
    I love all your youtube videos, which are always very enjoyable to watch.
    I must admit I was a little tongue tied, it's not everyday you meet people who you watch on youtube, even though i didn't say much, just saying hello to you guys made my day !
    I hope to get a van in the future but that is a little way of at the moment.
    A big thanks for the videos whether they be van or walking, both are great to watch and I have always enjoyed walking in nature.
    I look forward to more from you in the future and wish you well in all you do, you always give of such a nice warm vibe which makes me smile!
    I'm subscribed to your channel and have alerts turned on so I never miss a vlog.
    When commenting on youtube my name is "Bob Hope" it was a nick name that I made on Google and remains my google name to this day.
    Big love to the both of you and keep up the good work, you do a fantastic job of it.
    Tim

      Thank you Tim. It made our day as well 😊 Thank you for your support, it means a lot to us. We love making our films and knowing that people like you enjoy them, makes it all the more worthwhile. It is such a small world isn't it, thank you for taking the time to stop and let us know you watch our films, we had just had a lovely valentines lunch and were on our way to the cinema when we met you, you made a special day even more special 🚐🤗

    Shout out to Scottish Stevie the fire hero, the Utrecht couple, and the 5 English lads who all had the same idea as us.....cozy night.
    Honourable mention to the 4 girls a guy and a dog who popped by but moved on.

    That LPG gas tank looks really vulnerable if you are 'rear ended' in a crash, or even if you are reversing. I know you have put a lot of work in fitting this, but you are such a nice couple, so it mght be worth thinking about moving it. Apart from that another enjoyable video, I can't wait to get out and about.

    • @ExplorerBuddies
      @ExplorerBuddies  6 лет назад

      Appreciate your feedback. It’s a tricky one as there is nowhere else we can fit it. Lots of other stuff going on under the van. We had to remove the waste tank to fit the LPG.

      LPG was the move we made. If you can find it at a good price there’s probably about a 20-30% saving to be had. It’s not 50% cheaper any more, LPG has gone up in price
