  • After many months with the campervan in secure storage while I went cruising around the canals on my narrowboat - for which, see / @cruisingthecut - I am now moored for winter and that means I can go and get the van again and begin my plans for what to do with it and where to go over winter.
    If you liked the video and wish to leave me a tip, thank you!

      I'd suggest he goes places where the canal doesn't - like the Lake District. Seems daft doing the Peak District when he can do that in the summer from the canal in better weather.

    I must have ‘ found’ you right after you went back to the narrow boat this past year. This is a big surprise to me. I had no idea. I’ve spoke about my motor coach in regards to your narrow boat a few times on your other channel. Guess what? I own a Promaster van. It’s the Fiat van in the EU. I use mine for many things. I put windows and a roof vent in, but keep it stock otherwise. I have camped in mine with a cot, ice cooler, genny, gas stove, a portable air conditioner in the summer or a catalytic heater in the winter, and a portable privy. I don’t always want to take the motor coach out and go alone in my van. I took a 2600 mile trip 3 weeks back. Small world.

I’m running around taking pics of my electrical box, switches and outlets. Found one hot spot and tightened a screw to fix it. It’s neat kit for sure.

    I figured it wouldn't be long before you brought the van back out. Looks like you had a great storage lot. Looks like you have a great set of projects lined up for the winter. I think it is funny that you talk about the exhaust heat on the van heater as byproduct you want to get rid of and all I was thinking about was how can that heat be scavenged back into the van. Good luck, I hope your new marina is as camper van diy friendly as the last one was.

Nearly your shortest day, so at least the days will, albeit slowly, be getting jst a little longer, I seem to recall it was more psychological than anything else ;-) Paul, Johannesburg (where temps are likely quite similar (around 30 degrees) however mine is Celsius rather than Fahrenheit :-)

I have a friend that is looking at that heater to put in her trailer house.
