    Although we feel like we complain ALL THE TIME it is these lows that make the highs oh so very enjoyable! We hope you have enjoyed this week of adventures in our home on wheels and would love to hear if you have any trips to Spain planned for this summer? Let us know down below! 😁

    Hi Gemma and Campbell, I can’t believe we bumped in to you in the lift on the Pont Aven the other day. As I said you gave me the idea of going up to Potes when we were still in L’Estartit in the Costa Brava. We left early to give up a small period in the north before boarding the ferry back to UK. We came over from Zaragoza to a small village near Llanes called Colombres, and stayed there the night, so our trip up to Potes was the same day as departing from Santander. When the traffic stopped near the road works for 30 minutes we thought oh dear me!! Rats etc!! As I said I’ve been following you guys for a couple of years and have enjoyed your videos immensely. Keep up the good work. Furthermore get rid of that water tank filling pump, nothing wrong with a cap on the side, you can use a watering can or hose, simple. Our van is an Elddis as well and that is simply fitted with a filling cap with a key. I just bought a collapsible watering can which folds flat and is easy to store. Or just use a hose. Good luck with your next trip, cheers 👍🍷🍷 Mike aka John Clankie

    Awwww guys we have just seen you speak at Peterbourgh show. You did soooo well. Gemma I could tell you were so nervous at the start but then you found your feet. Next time guys trust your knowledge (as you have TONS of knowledge) and don’t worry about the notes. You did so so well and I saw a big queue waiting for your book so that’s brill. I was giving you encouraging smiles from the front row. Lovely to see you lovely folk in person. We LOVE your channel so it was a really lovely thing to hear you in real life. Hope to see you around the show. ❤

    Ellie sure knows how to keep you on your toes right? And guys, in reference to your comment below, you DON'T complain all the time. Besides, I think you have good cause when you do. That was a stunning sunrise for sure. Gemma I am still giggling at your "This means WE" remark and those looks you were giving future hubby during the mirror conversation were priceless!

    Might help, I think the trumer bullhead regulator ( fitted to the van) should work for both gas types, you just need the correct pigtail hose to fit your canister, worth a check might help🤷🏼‍♀️

    • @highlands2hammocks

      Yeah we got it working eventually, just need to find a proper setup with a refillable for the next trip ☺️

    Gemma I loved your "This Means We! point at your engagement ring 😁
    Also, and I promise this is coming from a loving space, you two should keep an eye on your negative self-talk. All this "Of course it would happen to us." Mindset can become really energy draining, in my experience. (For context I turn 43 in two weeks 😁)
    Much ❤ from 🇺🇸

      They are everywhere around Europe! We love it for keeping fit 😁 I know what you mean, it’s something we chat to our therapists about and we are trying to cut it out and working on staying positive more. This was a period where we felt like EVERYTHING was going wrong 😂 safe travels Mel 😁❤️

    I could be wrong but I think that gas regulator that you took off is actually the "crash valve" which shuts off the gas in an accident so you don't want to remove that. I also thought that propane and butane appliances ran at different pressures and needed different gas jets for efficient and proper burning.

    • @highlands2hammocks
      @highlands2hammocks  Год назад +2

      I think you are right in that it doubles as one of them! Reading the manual that would seem to be the case. It also says it is valid for both butane and propane, but we just can’t get it to behave in the colder temperatures haha must be the viscosity

    Hi,great vids on Spain,looking forward to Portugal, because starting a similar trip this Wednesday.
    Question, money's, what do you guys do, change in the UK, a money card or exchange when in the country your going to. ??

    • @highlands2hammocks
      @highlands2hammocks  Год назад

      Thank you 😁 first Portugal vlog tomorrow! We use the bank account Starling as they offer free international and withdrawals ☺️ great bank, I’ve been using them for years

    Looking forward to Portugal already! Really enjoyed your trip across the Costa Verde, one of the most underated areas in Europe. The Fuente De is fantastic having been up and down it many years ago! By the way it's the Picos de Europa not Pico and Potes is pronounced "Potez" and not Potes....

    • @highlands2hammocks
      @highlands2hammocks  Год назад +1

      First Portugal vlog out tomorrow 😁 can’t wait to share it with you!

    Thank you for your great videos! Gemma, are you a nurse? If so, how do you do your work remotely. I am also a nurse and would love to know how to do my work whilst on the road. Thanks.

    • @highlands2hammocks

      Thank you 😁 I am part of an agency that I work with when I go home. Would highly suggest this as a way if travelling but still being able to pick up shifts when you need to ☺️

    Get the right pigtail for the gas bottle rather than a second regulator.

  • @eddy3093
    @eddy3093 Год назад +1

    Your crash valve may not be butane compatible, a replacement one is pretty cheap, about £80/90 please do not run the system without it!

    I like you guys, but as a Spaniard, I have to admit I literally CRINGE whenever I hear Brits talking about Spain as "Europe". Which continent do you think you belong to... Asia?? :D Has Brexit done this much damage??
    Not something specific to you, but certainly something I´ve been hearing a lot, for quite a while, not only in your channel, but many other UK channels.
    So, as a piece of advice, just remember the people from the US chose to called themselves "Americans", and the vast majority of the actual America, hates them for it... ;)
    Have a great stay!
