First Time Vanlife in SCOTLAND! Day 1 & Van Tour (West Coast NC500)

[Music] I'm too low hang on there we go good morning guys welcome back to a brand new video you join us from the most peaceful morning here in Scotland where currently it's a very surreal day right now we're currently at the Foothills would you say the um the very bottom of the tallest mountain in Scotland which is behind me in that cloud up there Ben Nevis and it's so cool being here like I just had a shower at the um shower blocks here at the campsite so we're staying at Glenn Nevis uh camping in caravan park or something like that I just had a really nice hot long shower and I really enjoyed it um although I did just realize that instead of body wash in my small little pot i' accidently put fake tan in so not only did I use fake tan to wash my body I also now need to go and buy some body wash at some point today Jord is just in the shower now and I'm about to get breakfast on code is somehow still asleep so this boy in England wakes up at 5:00 a.m. in Scotland it's 8 minutes past 8 and he's still asleep it's me we've been able to get ready this morning before he woke up which is really nice and then I can get breakfast on in a second but super excited for today because it's kind of like day one of the trip we're going to do a big van tour in a minute and show you guys around the van we're staying in it's just so nice being here like walking back from the showers and looking up it's just like dreamy I got some photos it's all just like this it's just so surreal like the the mountain fog cuz it's still early we had a really good view of it last night visibility was much better but today it's quite cool cuz it's like a bit more mysterious um and we've got some cool plans actually we're heading up um on a like a gondola they call it like a cable car up Ben n so um hopefully the Sun comes out a little bit or at least the cloud moves out the way a little bit it might be cool like traveling through the clouds but anyway right I need to quickly hang some Towers up the next decision to make is sausage or bacon for breakfast today because we could do both but I feel like we could make that last 2 days and do one day sausage where are you one day bacon and I think we're going to hit the road early today and just sort of get going we are actually driving over to sky today as well which is an island nearby which is technically not part of the nc500 but it's we're kind of doing part of that route and part of our own route kind of making up a little bit but we've already had a nice morning coffee here the cafer got some work done got up to date with emails and we loaded all the clips from yesterday's Vlog and I'm already so excited to edit those drone shots from Glen Co it was amazing so if you haven't seen that video yet it's the last video on the channel so you can feel free to go and check that out very happy to be here right now currently trying to remember the place I left things last night after the M&S shop I found some eggs up here in a little cubby Hall I found some bread over here think we're going for bacon today that works for you both definitely is this your wet towel George one's wet the other I didn't use why do you have two you gave me two did I yeah I didn't mean to one is well did you shower with the towel now I showered with a lovely gentleman called Brian how is Brian it was great it's a nice morning out there oh my Tower's outside and it's raining that's what they say about Scotland you get all weathers in one like yesterday we'd be driving along be sunny then it'll be cloudy then it' be rainy then it' be sunny and then cloudy and rainy all within like 10 minutes it's kind of crazy good morning guys feeling fresh this morning luc's made us a delicious looking oh bit sea salt beautiful delicious looking bacon delicious looking breakfast with bacon so we got bacon you want some too yeah you can have some so we got bacon eggs we got fried bread fried in like after cooking the bacon it's just delicious cuz um realized we don't actually have a toaster so we're just like all right let's just fry the bread feeling good this morning weather is okay it's been off raining oh we got blue skies now loose have we yeah look up over up behind me just there see that little pocket there that is what we're hoping for today um about to hit the road going to have some breakfast first showered shower's pretty good here nice nothing special but nothing horrendous either really quite all right actually the pressure was good hot water but now I'm going to take a Pew and uh enjoy my breakfast with this lovely view of the mountain have my a little black coffee too it stopped out the end it stopped outside of our [Music] vat that's nice what's nice huh me you want to go first okay I think we've done everything driving away then we were all a bit like hm it feels like we we're plugged in somewhere still or we forgot to do something I entered the little waste I'll get it for you darling I entered the little um Water waste uh tap thingy out and that's where like if you use a sink or um I think it's just a sink or maybe the shower as well I just a sink so that means basically we've emptied it cuz it said it needed emptying but our water is quite low already so there's some hoses here is this what you we going to try again so we've been trying to find they haven't got any of these at the campsite here and we've been trying to make it work without one then we bought another nozzle that was wrong and I just find this one do you think this is right make what work oh the water they saw that we were saying we're about to fill our water up make you go and try it yeah let's try it this is the second adapter we've bought yeah third attempt to the water up hey let's try here we are it goes on but it's whether it sh it right on there that looks too small does that bit not come off see if that one Clips it yeah nice thank see it puts in there that looks exactly right yeah that's that's the sort of thing we need so this just goes into you need one of those then yeah I just found this oh right okay I it so if you turn the tap on there it should in theory work yeah go for it okay okay is that right it's it's not got enough pressure to fill your soul honestly everyone here has been so nice so far that we've come across we just met a guy from Manchester who you might have seen in that clip who lent us his hose so we could fill up with water cuz for some reason at that campsite they didn't have an adapter that worked with our van um so I think it's just going to be one of those things where you just play it by ear and kind of make it work unless we were doing something wrong think we were we didn't actually ask anyone for help we just assumed that we were wrong and asked for help from that guy for his hose but what was that something rattling about about there um but yeah the driv is are very courteous here as well so anytime sort of indicated to go into a different Lane they just let you go whereas where we live it's like if someone lets you go it's like blind me they're nice but normally you just wouldn't expect someone to let you go would you which is kind of sad thinking about it but um yeah everyone seems very nice you know sometimes I just love living in 2024 Lucy and I are currently partnering up with a company called spines who can help you publish your own book and this is something that just would not be possible years ago even I don't know 5 10 15 years ago there's there's a quote out there that I can't remember who it's by but it's it's something

has helped some of you so Link in the description just down there and you can now do something that you maybe thought was never possible before but anyway we're off now to Glenn Nevis Gondola which is like a cable car which goes up the mountain maybe halfway up it I think some people use it to like get halfway to the top and then walk the rest or for us it's just going to be for a nice view at the top yeah looking forward to seeing them shame what shame we can't climb the whole thing on foot got toddler oh a shame how annoying that we just have to sit on a cable [Music] car sleepy singing matey see look Ned M if it was just us back in the day loose I I think I'd be up for the hike we would have 100% would be nice I don't know how long it [Music] is i' been down this road so just arrived at the car park for the cable car so many mountain bikes around as well I have in previous lives been quite into mountain biking haven't done it for quite a few years now but used to go off with my dad trips to Wales Peak District um all over the South and North downs but I mean look at these mountain bikes coming down off these Hills yeah I bet there some incredible Trails up there [Music] wow this is good it's our ride I'm so excited I like I'm talking to I'm talking to like that you can sit down sit on your chair hope the door closes no window clean didn't they's next to you that's so cute what's the cow's name [Music] speaking of the mountain bikes I had no idea you could do this but we just saw that you can hook on your mountain bikes to the cable car so you don't have to do like some crazy insane hardest Hill Climb of your life you can just get up there and then enjoy the downhills down that's a dream that's the dream that's amazing I think we yeah or we could all do it your mom and dad me and your mom and Koda can like chill out all day somewhere and then you and your dad can go off like a family holiday oh the door is closing byebye it's slow is it is it do it speed up ready okay we're about to go Journey hands up both hands ready ready for the ride hands [Music] upe how to measure the love you throw around I could never hold you down [Music] is is the [Music] [Applause] [Music] all is the ocean and I can't touch the floor so full of emotion I can't look at the dier come on okay so obviously with we are with Koda our 2-year-old who um inter wow that probably is rain yeah Co behind us here we're not going to be doing like any crazy 6our hikes or anything like that but we are going to get a little bit of a walk in there's a path that goes all the way along here I mean there's walking paths everywhere which is so cool Sun clouds are moving that way if we wait we're going to get some think we get some sun we should wait shouldn't we there's also a restaurant and a coffee shop here so definitely interested in a little flat white or something at the top of the tallest mountain in Scotland kind of wish I had my mountain bike with me I feel like have to come back here two reasons I want to come back to Scotland first one is Lucy and I are about to buy our first ever Porsche 911 by the time these videos go out we may have one actually so I want to come back and drive the new car up in Scotland in the highlands the second reason is mountain biking look at this I think that would be unbelievable it's really cold up here it's way colder than before there's a ski lift that goes that way to obviously some sort of snowy mountain which we won't be doing today but I just can't believe how close we are to those clouds now look yeah it's mental so cool I'm so glad we did this so the tickets for this I think is £25 per adult and Koda was free so £50 for all of us and you basically get unlimited access it's like a day pass so um technically we could stay up here all day do some walks go for restaurants and do whatever we wanted but we're just going up and down cuz we're going to get to our next place soon um but quite good value I think considering spend a day up [Music] there C lights and people talking I don't know where I'm supposed to go I wonder if you got that feeling staring at your bedroom ceiling and think about me the way I think about you could you tell me said I let you know yeah I got to know yeah got to know if I'm going to be yours so don't you keep me waiting [Music] okay we said we weren't going to do the full walk but we couldn't resist we're going to try and get up to the Viewpoint we don't have our walking boots with us but it's dry so is is yeah and it's not slippy but is very very Rocky on the foot so we're trying our best but we're nearly there doing a 16 kg weighted carry yes up the hill careful your cow all the way up where's your car going here oh you breath we're going up the hill now D we need at the top come I'm coming let's go we usually get our daily steps in but it's not usually somewhere as nice as this spectacular yeah shh oh we did it we made it practically ran up that with Koda just to make it go quicker but we're at the Viewpoint the sun's coming out what do you think there look at it there's a deer one here does it feel nice yeah in here yeah there Rock and if anyone's wondering because I can see the comments already why is Lucy carrying Koda why aren't you carrying kod Lucy wants to do it no what I'm stronger than cuz you're strong than me that potentially is true but no Lucy is capable she's a very strong woman and she wanted to use it as a little bit of Fitness today a little bit of exercise so that is her choice does keep insisting on saying I can't do it he keeps going I can't do it but he's literally just sat on me so funny we say we can do it don't we I can do it I can do it I think someone is ready for a little nap in the van but sadly I have to drive both making the same joke dad jokes everywhere um but no we're nearly back we're going to get coffee maybe a little snack and then hit the road what where's the next stop Lucy on this Magical Mystery Tour the mag is taking us to El Don Castle Island Don Castle which um looks very nice and I'm thinking like drone shots over the castle is the plan beautiful beautiful right what way are we going mud or Rock I think Rock good organic black aisle spider monkey organic there's hot number one so we just picked up some drinks a little coffee flat white very expensive up here just to warn any visitors does it matter I don't know because where else are you going to get a coffee at the top of well nearly at the top of Ben Nevis £440 for a flat white about £3 overpriced for how it tastes but it's okay it's so it's all right it's not too bad we also picked up these which look nice um spider monkey I'm guessing a local kind of Brewery hopefully organic payow and an organic logger as well for later on in the van in the evening um they were £6 each £650 each £650 each so a little bit too much for a kind of beer however never mind it's a nice place you do you live and learn when you travel I thought it said3 on the fridge there was a sticker that said3 clearly out of something else never mind had a nice walk Views Little coffee and then we'll be back on the road how's your ice cream darling good is it cold yeah he's asleep so I want to be quiet but that's was amazing highly recommend doing that if you're coming up this way it gives you like a new perspective of the area you're in as well so yeah really enjoy that picked up some Scottish tablet in the gift shop because doing my research of like the food you should try in Scotland that came up pretty high so first bite what's that lovely view oh it's amazing isn't it going to give it a go first impressions it's like a hard fudge it's much harder than fudge would be like you can't squid it in your fingers like you could with fudge oh my god wow it's like you know when you make a cake and you mix butter and sugar and it's like grainy texture it's kind of like a hardened version of that so sweet wow that's so good [Music] that is unbelievable that is better than fudge cuz my the kind of fudge I like is not the chewy fudge it's the like crumbly and that's a better version of [Music] that been knocking at your door I know one thing for sure I've never been so close before you are truly but it was all just one thing to [Music] discover it was never fail to [Music] just [Music] just crazy how fast it is it's just 30 mountains I can see in front of me with these huge locks going through them and then like Christmas trees everywhere um it's amazing isn't it and the sun because it's so vast The Sun Shines on only certain Pockets at a time um cuz it's a pretty cloudy day today but we're getting some little pockets of [Music] sun fill out the car my legs have gone dead so Cod is still asleep somehow he's just napped like the whole day um so I'm just going to very quickly show you guys but we're at elen Don El Don and Castle we actually plann to fly the here but they don't allow drones and we're going to respect that we're thinking if we went like really far away and flew near it we might get away with it and crop in and not get too close but it's not worth it we don't want to get in trouble so it's amazing there's these big rocks along here loads of seaweed actually going onto this I guess this is a sea now not a lock but I might be way off there I guess it's a sea sort of wrapped around from the other side of Scotland if that makes sense um yeah it's really cool there's just a castle out in the middle of the water I think you can pay to go in but because cod's asleep and we've got quite a long drive store to go um I don't think we're going to go in today but we just wanted to come and have a little look anyway with a little bridge going over at the Scottish flag um but honestly those roads are just ridiculous they're like some of the nicest roads we've ever seen and we were comparing it to um we've done some really nice road trips in the Philippines and um all up around sagard and benaway Rice Terraces these is amazing drives um that really look quite similar to this but this is feels more vast and i' in my head imagine Scotland to be smaller than that but it's it's not like I don't know why I don't know why we've not been here I'm I'm embarrassed that we've not been here being British people it's just like insane the types of textas on on all the different Mountains and the trees you see and the rocks and the huge locks with the sun reflecting off like when the sun comes out it's amazing but equally when it's all gloomy with dark clouds it looks super like creepy and um epic in its own way um but honestly both our mouths were just like wide open the whole drive and it's just been unbelievable whenever forget this drive [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] so just crossing the bridge over to Scott and it's like there like normal stone walls along here but then it goes onto like a bit of a modernish looking one it's really high isn't it so nice we've been told a lot about this place everyone who we've waa it's going so high oh my God yeah what can I just see that wow yeah really getting some hype everyone we've told that we're coming to Scotland said who's been here before and said are you going to Scot it's like quite a quite a well-known place so here we are to the tune of Old McDonald's to the oh that's that was easy so you can get a fairy over dis sky but because I mean we proved ourselves right we made the right decision we've had a bit of a random day we've taken longer and in some places than we thought and less time in others so oh we're on Sky it's like we're on the L of white um yeah it it's like so hard to know when to book a fair for and we don't get there and they say they've run out of space um I think if we were more laidback with stuff like flying the Drone like if we didn't stop as much as we do we love stopping then we could have book it and got there in time but we had no idea what time we were going to get there so I would not have predicted we'd be here at half 3 so oh Indian restaurant there Indian nice um yeah but anyway so we went for the the bridge um and it meant we got to do that amazing drive we wouldn't have done that had we not really we would have missed the drive that drive we just did with all those time lapses that you just saw the best Drive of my life ever I'm I'm coming back here in a sports [Music] car what was time [Music] look did you hear that round around a big orange Digger Daddy's color [Music] truck on a big orange diger daddy [Music] color again again again [Music] [Music] okay reporting to you from a very old bridge on the aisle of Sky um so we planned to fly the Drone here and we'll get out and there's actually a kids play Park thing down there um George doesn't want to get wet we don't really want K to get soaking wet cuz we'll just like sit on the puddly slides um so we're going to keep going to the next destination but I thought I'd quickly run out and do my duty as a vlogger to show you guys on my phone um what I can see So currently still on the bridge and this is the view from the bridge it's really beautiful and you can see like the Misty Mountains in the distance it's amazing but it's so cold and so windy uh we're parked over there you can see us there in the hotel parking um and then there's the the brid that we actually just crossed in the car here but um yeah really cool and then I'll I'll keep walking to the other side and I'll show you the actual Bridge itself as [Applause] well wow it's so peaceful I'm not sure if I meant to be walking here or not but I think it's okay there's like a big sort of overgrown over overgrown over filled what you call it Lake um and then the bridge just behind it's so spooky it's like let me just jump over this quickly it's like something from Harry Potter look at this it's amazing I feel like there's going to be a troll underneath this bridge wow wow it's really really quite um quite something when you're here in person I hope it's coming out on camera and I bet if the if it was clear as well and you could see these mountains probably it' be even more epic but it's definitely very moody and gloomy which is cool as well okay I'm not going to go too much further cuz it looks a little bit slippery but there's another little Viewpoint here oh wow this was well worth it but it's just started really raining I hope you can hear me I haven't got too much water in this lens but how cool is this that is from real Scotland there put my hand oh no wa that's cold oh no oh it's okay darling just leave it back in we stayed in the van chilling and drinking orange juice wanted to go out I picked up one of these little Starbucks cafe lates disgusting terrible but I needed some caffeine um so how was that amazing I look forward to uh watching the Vlog this drive today has been the best Drive of my life I the roads are just stunning we have nothing like that where we live so so good so the plan now L is it Port tree P Tre Port tree campsite well I wanted to go to Port tree town okay to have a look go to the town first and campsite after that all right let's do that then put that in the SAT it's like a beautiful little coastal town but I just don't know if it's going to be a card of mist because of the weather he like you're like a hot water bottle keep me warm and this van today's been so amazing even in the rain it's been so cozy we've got like spicy our USB charging down here we've had our phones going the Drone is currently on charge in the glove box it's amazing and I that you can't oh this one um we also thought like imagine every time we're used to traveling and we're used to traveling and having to pack up and doing like one or two night stays this is one night stays every night so which might seem kind of stressful but you don't need to pack because every single thing you need is in the van and it stays in the van in the room um so like even our toiletries I was thinking got pack them all up but no the toilet tree bag is hooked onto the back of the door right now and it's ready to go when be next to you to brush our teeth it's brilliant got all our snacks back there we've been having those as we go um and it's been amazing like no struggle up the hills up into these mountains just amazing um if you didn't see the last Vlog this van is from a company called station Scotland and they hooked us up with the van for our trip so in every one of these Scotland videos there's going to be a link to their website if you want to do something similar if you're watching this video thinking I'm I'm going to do that then those are the guys to talk to Jules also helped us plan our whole entire route so it's more than just like a van hire it's kind of a it's kind of an all-encompassing service that you get with them and we would already 100% book with them again so let's start the engine even the fact they picked us up from the airport and there was just no stress in coming to get the van and stuff like that right let's see if this rain stops it might not but we're cozy we got Al got Bluetooth as well we got our music going and Wi-Fi the whole time luc's been like doing our Instagram stories as we've been going along and our van that we've got is called Lulu so if you go on the website scroll down on their different Vans find Lulu if you want to hire this exact same one that we've been using then as long as we don't have it and it's available for your dates then um yeah you can get in this exact van highly recommend by the time this video is out we may have bought Lulu for ourselves a possibility yeah okay we've just poured into Port Tre Port tree and um this is the most people we've seen since we started the trip it's really busy and it feels quite touristy but in a really nice way like really um there's a big row of colorful houses down there we'll show you in a minute and there's amazing mountain views and we drove past a pizza restaurant that do take away pizza so we're going to go and order that once it's being cooked we're going to go and take a little walk around the town um it's nearly 5:00 so we do need to get to our campsite soon because we like to get there and settle before it gets too dark but um I mean to be honest with you it's not getting dark till like 9:00 p.m. at the moment so we have actually got a long time this feels like some you could probably spend quite a lot of time looking around and going through the little shops um I think it's quite late now the shops are probably closed my lace is undone hang on a minute is it what's this making funny noises of course he is as usual the street the shops are still open what time is it quarter past 5 and um there's been quite a few coffee shops along the way today that CH three so I'm surprised these places are still open but um they're just so lovely full of all these little trink kits and gifts and things so I got totally sidet traed there I was just walking along and I saw a little gallery that has loads of paintings of waves and I like a wave painting myself so um just nipped him but anyway um Geor is just headed back to the van we're just quickly using the L cuz we were trying to find a toilet but then we realized we've got one on the van so we don't actually need to find one we can go on the van which is brilliant um and then we're going to go back and pick up our pizza order um and also check out the Viewpoint in a second but yeah it's really nice really nice busy little [Music] town Mommy here she is and she's got the pizzas Mommy are what do we think we have wa to the camp we got four minutes to wait if you can wait with that smell four Scottish cheese or Scottish and Italian and then nice oh man that looks so good this go it smells too good to wait any longer [Music] how is it yes good open it I'm so ready for this guys I did open it look at that can you open it for Daddy oh wow wow the pizza is very very good just what you want I we're not actually my feet you kicking your feet under there we're not really promoting healthy eating on this trip so far um it's high quality it's sourdough I don't know we like we like pizza we like good quality pizza and this is good quality pizza after a day driving well what a day this is only day two day one day one day yeah cuz we only picked up the van yesterday I'm going van you a going to Van SE some amazing stuff today had some amazing drives I know what this meal's missing our £650 can of beer what can you hear sleep I hate the dog now Daddy yeah I go on here can you do it on your own yesy let's see if this really was worth £650 or [Music] noty it's very nice very good try mommy find the red ones please Mommy find the red very isn't it wor maybe it was worth 650 it's organic £750 next time freezing I'm in flipflops and I know I feel like we haven't dressed this you're in short time in flipflops we've not dressed well for Scotland but we thought it'd be a good idea in this video as like official day one full day to do a little van tour because youve probably seen glimpses throughout the day but not really like the full thing and if you're watching this maybe you're thinking of doing this yourself and you want to see what the living space is like um so yeah that's this part of the video is going to be um so in the front I mean you've already seen the front we don't need to show you but there's basically three seats in the front so sizewise this is a VW crafter um so it's fairly big but it's not like as big as some other ones we've seen and as you saw already in the front there's loads of storage loads of cabby holes and stuff so it's like really comfy up in the front we have our son in the middle of us and we've both got lots of room there's stuff around the other side for like the fresh water the waste water which comes from your sink uh the toilet's in the boot and then there's a plug on the side to plug into the electric but I mean if you're hiring one of these I feel like there's far more experienced people on the internet that can tell you how to use it but I'll tell you what it's like to live in it so you may see the roof goes up so this is where George has been sleeping um insert photo here George decided to sleep with his head that side on the first night against my advice because he thought his head would fall through here so we had his head in a small Gap and he woke up having had a dream that he's stuck in a box um so he quick I told you that in confidence so he quickly swiveled around and decided against that idea and it was much better it was much better and his head was here and he had loads of room and I'm 6' 2 and a half and I could lie all the way so like I wasn't cramped yeah so to do that you basically like undo these clips and push it up but again I'm not a demonstrator video should we show them my bedroom so you have to put a little light on I put my flash on the phone then it do that well oh it's just duve at the moment should have filmed this before putting the duvo up there but here's my little light and here guys here is my bed so basically through there this is my bed yeah you get the idea it's basically a bed it's like a big long sheet kod is currently watching Peppa Pig so he's demonstrating the living area this is great so this table basically um you've got two seats along here this table swivels out so you can have like a long dining table these three chairs also swivel round I mean it's a we were going to swivel it around but we actually ended up having pizza on the picnic bench tonight so we can I'm sure we'll swiv it around at another point in this trip or in the winter and you're spending more time in the van with the heating on you swivel you have like a whole living area yeah you basically unscrew the little bolts there and there's a few things you do like lifting and closing things and they swivel around and it just opens up the whole Space so it's like more of a dining area um and also you've got a little h I love this it's so nice it's like a little bar I think this looks like an Airbnb in here yeah it's great isn't it a lovely sink like gold sink the features of this van are just like really beautiful we've got white company bedding like it's really nice it's definitely luxurious like the lighting and the roof as well it's amazing and they've got like pink tiles got drawers and then space for like these little pushy in ones like that we've got like a Smeg Kettle an air fryer a cafeta like loads of really nice amenity extras um and then in the this one we've got all of our we've made it actually messier than it was and guys because we had this van we were going to do a van tour at the actual site we picked it up from when it was like Immaculate but we thought that's not real life because you're watching this probably thinking you're going to put all your stuff in a van you don't want to see it with nothing in cuz then it's like well of course it's space cuz nothing's in it we've loaded this with two huge suitcases and it still feels like roomy as far as you can with a van um so yeah we've got those of our stuff in there all of the glasses and stuff and our coffee oh we need to take our supplements I've taken mine already oh we do them together so we don't forget you take your supplements oh this no that was like a brad deal I was like this is not sponsor I thought you were going into an Adent oh look we forgot to take our supplement um I like this cubby everywhere you look there's like storage here big one and all up here is storage as well okay now that our family have all taken their supplements we can resume the tour this is real life guys yeah I know we've just got like cartons of eggs rolling around above our heads or driving it's hilarious they have not cracked they have not cracked actually it's great cuz it's got like a little holder so it doesn't move so yeah loads of space more than I thought this is all like Tech area and again someone far more experienced would explain this to you but like that's your waist stuff that's no that's your waste that's your amount of water fresh water you've got left this is the inverter this is your heating and um heating for the van and your ventilation and then your hot water as well and mag Ro you want do you want a snack daring okay s love this sink as well how it like it's like a farmhous kind of style sink it's got a name I can't think of it but it's like a proper Butler sink I think so Co if it's not that's hilarious it probably is and then a little draining board hot two hob hob two two ring hob two cross hob um which is good cross bun Hot Cross Buns um the fridge which is deceivingly large it actually looks very tiny and I actually went to M&S thinking we have barely any room and then realized that we'd very much under bought the food and because it goes right the way back so you can't really see this from here but there's a lot of space in here um I've turned the hob on and leaning on it goodness me and then the bed uh let me see I'm trying to find a way to get on this bed how would you get on the bed just go backwards but I'm lean and then like Shimmer yourself up but I'm not to oh there's a drone I'm on the train basically I think you meant to use these holes that makes sense that's a ladder yeah so that's what I need to learn to do but say yeah we got it's Mommy pepper it's Mommy pepper so we've got another storage cupboard up here little areas down here is storage lovely lights on these as well as lights here and this obviously goes into the back of the van and then underneath the bed is loads of storage which you access from the back this is the bathroom wait is it this is the bathroom we've currently got all our towels hung up in here but we've got you have to come in a bit we've got a nice sink again the gold sink with some very luxurious hand saap here there's a toilet sink and then the gold shower with some with some golden hooks as well so again more storage space and then we've also got our TV in here which is always handy we've actually not watched it yet cuz we've been on the road like all day for both days um so we've actually not had a chance and when we get back we we're just filming my stomach currently um when we get back we are too tired to like have an evening we've just been going to bed we're just actually enjoying the campsite George is cleverly parked in the ditch so I'm going to have to get in the ditch to show you the back so in the back we have oh I've not closed these box from ear up the bed I always feel like this bed looks like it's going to pull out do you know what I mean it like it's going to go out which be imagine that you can like stargaze this is basically full of all of our stuff we've got packing cubes for each person so we know where all our stuff is we've got like the picnic table and stuff in there stick for the awning so there's an or awning that goes out the front um but yeah this is the storage like just like little barbecue and some gas stoves and um your fuse boxes and stuff are all in here this is where the ladder's stored is that a light there H what's that switch for oh cool little light yes if you need to get in your boot in the dark you can so cool how these are designed and built yeah so you just put the stick in there and it comes forward and I'm not going to do it now but this is the side view
