We also include our luxury items that we have chosen to enjoy our caravanning.
We have spent the whole weekend watching this.
Oh dear bet youve got a headache from my laugh!! You deserve a beer says Mark cheers xxx
No but what make and model camera do toy use? its fantastic, i need dragging into the modern teck, luv J.
Good tip about the 12v supply to fridge had our first weekend away last weekend and did it all correctly more luck than judgement! Great video for returning caravaners like us thanks for the info.
And thank you x
The low wattage appliances are all well but it takes forever to boil the kettle. We got rid of ours when we sold the Coachman and we use a normal domestic kettle and toaster. The trick is to not run everything at once. My other half did this on our last caravan outing but fortunately it just tripped the breaker in the caravan. The continuous water system which screws into the side of the water container is very useful to have. It works in the same way as the cistern in a toilet in that it shuts off the valve once the water reaches a certain level. The waste pipe kit that Dan Trudgian featured is a handy addition and is much neater than the flexible hoses you have to run into the waste water container.
Some great tips their as always
Need to get some of them 👍🏼
We will see you soon 😉👍🏼🎩

What a super advertisement for beginners like myself. Well done both of you!
great to see Mark getting stuck in...lol.. always good points, cheers
Okay Got it Aldi - :) I'm in Naples USA - don't have the store here - Enjoy your VLOG. I want to install the inside and outside door lock but can't find a video of any owner fitting it? Lots of videos installing the simple outside one.
very easy - use the template provided with lock and a tape measure its just 4 holes to drill and fit your lock ensure enough room on inside due to different fixtures and fittings on different model vans x
Brilliant video very informative
Hi Mark, great tip about what you use for the flush, can you tell me a bit more of what to get ?
Great tips there 👍🏻😄
Thanks x
Very interesting and good information guys.
Thank you x
Once again great video....you are both a class act...full of great information. Quick question if possible guys...Was on a caravan site in Somerset with a full service pitch. Was approached by a fellow camper to say the garden hose I had connected to my aqua roll from the service tap was not the best idea...as garden hoses are for watering a garden not for drinking even if using filling an aqua roll......Many thanks John
Hi there Ive just checked with Mark the fellow camper was correct - you cant use garden spec hose due to chemicals used to manufacture you need to buy a food spec hose they are blue in colour. If you buy the aqua roll kit its included Hope that helps xx
@@gypsysoulsjudymark.escapet7388 Thank you both so much......Makes perfect sense. This will be my next purchase....Thank you again....Have a great summer.....kind regards John
Excellent- but we had trouble hearing you during the first 5 minutes. Really low volume. Thought you needed to know 😊
Thank you we realised but too late x
hi guys glad to see you back. can I ask why do you still use the water container with a float in it and not connect straight to the tap. I have the aqua roll one but the float keeps sticking and the pipe inside keeps curling up setting off the low water alarm ( usually early hours of the morning ) decided to use the direct fit think its whale unit with adaptor for truma its got the 3bar limiter. tried this configuration last outing and worked no issues. if going out for the day just turn off the tap as a precaution am I doing the right thing. thanks guys take care
Love watching you both your a scream ! But very informative
No idea but I'll get Mark to reply x
Mark says u need a pressure regulator to about 1 Barr the downside is if tap fails or pipe bursts it will fill your caravan up and flood x
Great video, treated myself to one of those kettles in red as we have a teeny travel kettle at the mo and it doesn't fill two full size mugs, not good for my caffeine head hubby lol!
Hi there guys, it’s a three quarter one hopefully, inflatable one too. I did try to google it and you can’t get the answer, I tried you tube as well and get videos on how to pump it up but not how to measure the size you need. I’ll look on eBay and before ordering it I’ll contact the seller to make sure. Thanks for the early reply.
Did you look at your caravan manual? Xx
Mark says whats model number awning your after that does the sizing x
Hi guys, I can’t afford a full awning so I’ve been looking at the 390cm long and 240 wide, they seem to say it’s a porch awning, after doing more research I think I’ve got it sussed. It appears that you measure from the rail to the floor and that gives you the size. There is a firm advertising on eBay which is near to us so I’ll visit them to speak in person. I do appreciate you replying after I’m sure you’ve had a long day, that shows dedication and commitment. Thanks. Dave
Great to see you both again - good advice as always. Do you have your van serviced yearly? There seems to be various viewpoints on this one. Looking forward to hearing your top sites in a future vlog.
No we don't have it serviced because Mark does it all since we've had the caravan... Except the gas...his next job is flushing out the alde central heating system... Never ends... We keep it up together as its our home and we can't afford a new one 😂 x
Mark, Judy and summer, hope you are ok and enjoying your new wardening job? I’m relatively new to caravanning, one month. I went away for the other weekend and in anticipation bought a conventional awning, but having a two year old grand child in tow I was desperate to get the awning up, but upon taking it out and looking at the poles I lost the will to live, it would have took me all weekend to get it up, so as we won’t use an awning other than weekend caravanning I’m determined to buy an inflatable awning. I’ve measured from the roof tracking to the ground and it’s 2.34 metres, and I want one about 3-4 metres in length, will theses measurements be the ones I use to order one. There’s nothing on you tube with a tutorial so new you would know. Thanks Dave and Karen
Is it a porch awning or a full awning you need...look in your caravan manual it will tell you your awning size needed... Or Google it xx
Some interesting information guys. As our departure from Europe has been delayed how will it impact on your plans for your next trip into the sunshine? We are being told we can have 90 days which is not enough for your secret escape lol as if I remember correctly you indicated a longer stay and leaving the UK earlier this year. I am sure your thoughts on this may help others who head for some winter sun. Keep the videos coming
We will still be going whatever happens... They'll still be squabbling... Only concern is the dog and a no deal outcome re rabies blood test and will it be enforced the day after ie nov 1st.. We won't be booking our ferry until early Nov but that is for another reason to be disclosed later in year xxx
@@gypsysoulsjudymark.escapet7388 A bus and beyond have done some research on that problem, might be worth having a look
You mean the dog situation?? I don't want to pay stupid money then we leave with a deal... We're risk takers esp when it envolves money I don't wanna waste 😂 thanks will look xx
Enjoyed the video, we are hoping to follow suit and eventually spend winters in Spain. We are starting by living in caravan on seasonal pitch and continuing work for the moment. Any advice on insurance, seems a vague area.
Good luck I can only pass on that to insure your caravan you tell the insurance you are full time touring... Our insurance covers us for wardenning and touring in winter. X
@@gypsysoulsjudymark.escapet7388 Thankyou very much for your reply. As it will be our home, it needs proper cover. Nice to know the sort of cover you have been able to get. We will start seeing what different companies offer. You have certainly been the inspiration to get our dream off the ground. Keep up with the videos.
Great to hear as they say life is short don't wait do it now if u can.... Insurance is imperative its correct for your needs xx
Great vlog, but where can I buy one of those melamine fitted bed sheets. Spent all day looking, but I couldn't find one . LOL
Omg he completely got lost on that one!! I'll blame the beer 🍻 was funny though 😂 xx
Okay - give up where do you buy the toilet blocks - Oldy?
yes we do 4 for 99p there fab no need to waste money on branded you must have caravan toilet flush...all just a money spinner x
Can I also ask where do you actually put them?? I’m a first time cassette toilet user
Hi guys

Face Book, what’s that..
No worries, nothing important
Hope you’re having a good day
