Hi 👋🏼 Thanks for watching our videos 👍🏻 Our boys travel in the exact same places as where they sleep in the van. They travel in the main part of the van. Sabre lies on the back seat, and Dallas lies on his bed on the floor. They have leads clipped on to their harnesses to secure them and keep them safe. It’s a really good idea to hire a van to see how you get on 👍🏻 It means you can try out different things and make sure it works for you. We really enjoyed the Durdle Door campsite. It is a great location to explore Dorset. So nice to hear that you enjoy our videos! We wish you lots of luck in your search for your own campervan.

It’s a great festival isn’t it! I think if you are on the Dubbed out community Facebook group you will see when they announce their camp outs and the festival on there. Alternatively, I think if you go to the website, you can sign up to their mailing list so that you get notified about all their events. We really enjoyed it this year so we probably go again next year 👍🏻 Thanks for watching :)

@@VanVibesandSibes thanks both yes we really enjoyed just need to have some friends to come along think it would be much better when there are a few of you thanks both

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video :) Hope you had a lovely time in Dorset. We loved our time there. We did go to Lyme Regis, but we didn’t go to the brewery (not like us I know 😂) We’ll have to add it to the list for next time 👍🏻 Oh no, pesky seagulls! Haha don’t blame you for swearing if you’d only had one bite! 😂

Didn’t realise that, thanks so much for the info 👍🏻

It’s nice to feel young 😂 Glad to have you back :) Thanks for watching!

Have an amazing time! Thanks for watching 👍🏻

🤣🤣🤣I really wanted to do that! Wish we had now! We weren’t sure if you were actually allowed to walk up to it, so we chickened out 😂😂

Thank you :) Yes they love a beach walk! All of our leads and harnesses come from a small business called Indi Dog. Our boys have their Houdini harnesses. They are so called because it is pretty much impossible for the dog to slip the Houdini harness and get loose. They are hand made by the couple who own the business, so sometimes there can be quite long lead times if you order made to measure ones. Wouldn’t have our boys in any other gear though 👍🏻

Welcome! 👋🏼 It’s interesting to hear about someone looking to downsize. There seems to be a lot of people that are deciding to go bigger at the moment. Can definitely recommend using a transporter as a daily driver, as that’s what we do 👍🏻 Glad to hear you enjoy the videos😊 Bakewell is lovely to have a wander round. Hope you have an amazing stay at Chatsworth. Thanks for watching :) 👍🏻

It’s stunning isn’t it!

Glad you enjoyed the drone shots! Thanks for the support, we really appreciate it :)

Glad you are enjoying the videos! Thanks for watching!

Hi 👋🏼 Glad you enjoyed the Whitby video :) We find the transporter suits us really well for the most part. We have to sleep in the pop top to make it work with two large dogs though. It’s really down to personal preference. We wanted something that would fit on our driveway and be useable as a daily driver as well. You could daily drive something bigger, but obviously it’s not quite as easy to park etc. Even a LWB transporter would have overhung our driveway, so we opted for the SWB and we love it!

Yes it’s the perfect dog walk stop off 👍🏻

Hi! 👋🏼 Not very often we hear from other people with New Wave conversions! 😊 What do you think of yours? We absolutely love ours! Top quality conversion for sure! 👍🏻

Yeah the quality is so good and none of those edging strips like the cheap conversions. Only thing I don't like is the door and the window behind the blinds could do with a cover as I think they look untidy.

@@KingdomTimes Do you mean you’d prefer it to look similar to the window behind the kitchen units with the wooden surround?? The no edging strip thing was definitely a massive factor in us going for that conversion. Love having the corian worktop as well 👍🏻

Hi 👋🏼 thank you :) We only have one fake glass panel on the van. We wanted windows all round, but there was no point having one at the back on the drivers side, as the wardrobe would cover it. To make it look even, the converter left the metal in tact on that panel and put a fake window there. We could have just had two windows at the front and left both back panels the original metal, but we really wanted to let as much light in as possible. We opted to have the rear passenger side done, and make it look like the van has windows all round with the fake glass on the rear drivers side 👍🏻

Hi Andy! 👋🏼 Colin was everywhere that weekend! 😂 We had a chat with him when we bumped into him and Michelle one day. Lovely couple 👍🏻 Cheers 🍻

Thank you 😊 It was the best weekend! So much fun! We will definitely be back! Glad you like the costumes 🤣 Thanks for watching!

It was such a good weekend wasn’t it! Everyone seemed to have such a good time. We loved it and will definitely be back 👍🏻 Glad you enjoy the content, thanks for watching! 😊🫶

🤣🤣 It was probably us you saw😂 If people recognise us, it’s usually because of the dogs! 😂 They spent the weekend with Lou’s Mum and Dad as they wouldn’t have settled at the festival with so many people around. They most likely consumed their body weight in biscuits, as Lou’s Mum spoils them 😂

We travelled end of April into early May 👍🏻

Thank you :) Glad you enjoyed the video. Oh no, sorry to hear you missed the football. We enjoyed the Durdle Door site. Would definitely recommend the pitches we stayed on 👍🏻

Dorset is stunning isn’t it! Glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching 😀👍🏻

Yes 100% it’s not for everyone. We did go to Lulworth cove, but we took the van down as we knew our almost 13 year old dog would really struggle on the way back. Hope you had a good time when you were there. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

Glad you enjoyed the video! We hope you have lots of amazing adventures in your van when you get it. Thanks so much for subscribing 👍🏻😊

No way! What a coincidence! We loved pitch 13, great spot. Oh yeah, total calf burn walking back from the beach! 🤣🥵

Thank you :) Glad you enjoyed the video. That’s such a lovely comment! We always do our best to keep them safe and happy. Sounds like you are also a great dog parent🫶 We love talking about beer 😂 Stay tuned as there will be more parts to this trip coming soon. Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video :)

It’s a lovely stretch of coastline for sure and the huge pitch was great for the dogs! Glad you enjoyed the swimming shots and the drone footage. We really enjoyed getting those- although the sea was a bit fresh 🥶🤣 The pasta salad is a nice easy meal to do in the van, and you could easily change it up and add different ingredients to make it different every time. Aww yes the shorter nosed breeds have a tough time in the summer don’t they bless them. It can be frustrating when we have to stay at the van in the shade, but its all part of being a good dog parent isn’t it. We always try to keep Dallas and Sabre out of the really hot weather if we can. Thanks so much for watching, there will be more videos to come :)

Thanks Gary. We really enjoyed Dorset, it was a stunning bit of coastline. We’ll definitely go back there at some point so we’ll bear that campsite in mind. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

@VanVibesandSibes the campsite is highlands end amazing views pub on site carvery on Sunday and the facilities are great and if you are in to your tv serese broad church was filmed there 😀

Sounds amazing! We loved Broadchurch so we’ll have to check that one out when we come down to Dorset again 👍🏻

Hi 👋🏼 The official NC500 route starts and ends in Inverness. We started at Beauly Holiday park just West of inverness, and finished in Inverness itself. We also did a couple of detours, as we went on to Skye, and after we finished the official route, we went over to Glenfinnan viaduct as well. It took us two weeks in total which includes getting up there from Leicestershire and getting back down again. It’s up to you really on how long you want to spend on the route. You could drive round it in as little as a couple of days, but there’s no way you can see everything you’ll want to see if you do that. Personally I would allow at least 10 days, so that you can really enjoy the experience and not feel too rushed. If you watch the rest of our NC500 videos, you’ll see how much we crammed in lol. Congrats on the new van! We hope you have lots of amazing adventures!

We believe it’s 16mm 👍🏻

@@VanVibesandSibes Thank you.

We think we remember the converter telling us that the poptop bed board is birch ply. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

Thank you :) It was a great view up there! Thanks for watching 👍🏻

Hi👋🏼 Yes the awning is designed to be free standing so that you can drive away in your van and leave the awning in situ. Weirdly though, some campsites have rules stating that drive away awnings must stay connected to your van at all times. 🤷🏻‍♀️ It’s worth double checking when you book campsites that they don’t have a rule like this. If they don’t, you should be ok to leave the awning disconnected from the van👍🏻

Glad you found the video useful 🙂 Thanks for watching 👍🏻

Hi, congratulations on your new transporter! Exciting times ahead! We cook both outdoors and indoors to be honest. It depends what we’re cooking. If it’s something that we think will stink the van out, we’ll cook outside. If it’s something like heating a couple of crumpets, we’ll cook inside. Also depends a bit on the weather too 😂 We love our wind out awning. It’s great for giving a bit of shelter to cook under and a dry area to stand when you get in and out of the van. For cooking equipment, we don’t think you can go far wrong with Cadac products. Thanks for watching! 👍🏻

Glad you find the vlogs useful 🍻😆 Thanks for watching! 👍🏻

I think we might have got mixed up with aberaeron 😂

Ooh thanks for the tip! Do you have a thermacell? Do you find it works well?

Sorry, completely missed this comment 🤦🏻‍♀️ Looking on the website you can definitely book up until the start of January so I assume it’s open all year 👍🏻

Yes it’s not too far for you to travel. Hope you enjoy it when you go. Thanks for watching 👍🏻

That’s such a nice comment! Thank you so much for watching and commenting! We hope you have the best time in Bakewell 😊

You are most welcome 😊 Thanks for watching 👍🏻

I would say it is a little bit tight in places on the approach. Not a problem for us in our little van, but could possibly be tight for an 8ft wide caravan. If you think you can make it work though, it’s definitely worth a visit. Thanks for watching 😊👍🏻

Yes unfortunately it’s the nature of the beast especially when you’ve got a pop top like ours. We could have had a pop top with the frolli springs, but as we’re not the smallest people, we went for the one which would tolerate more weight. As it was a slimline pop top, the frolli springs weren’t an option. We got a panda mattress topper in the end and the comfort levels are a lot better now😊 Thanks for watching 👍🏻

I have a pop top with Frolli springs & I love it. It’s more comfortable than the rock-n-roll bet even with a good mattress topper.

We really enjoyed our stay on the campsite 👍🏻

We would definitely recommend the site, it’s a good one 👍🏻
