Hi John and Zoe. Love watching you guys. Your theory sounds spot on over the demand on your alternator so the simple answer is get a bigger alternator fitted to Bertie. The dogs are a beautiful and unfortunately they cost but they bring more joy than the cost so it’s always worth it. We’ve just lost our dog aged 16years and 4 months through illness and had to make the decision to let him go. £303 at the vet to stop his pain. Vets really do like to charge whenever they can. Looking forward to watching your adventures. My wife and I will be joining the full time vanlife as soon as the house is sold. Can you let us all know what Bertie Bus is as I love the layout. Best wishes and safe travels.
Yes that's a good idea with the alternator thankyou . So sorry about your dog it's a huge loss as we should know. Our Van is a 2013 concorde carver . We got it for the quality build as when you live in them full time you need it to cope with everyday use . We did a vlog on Bertie a year ago with a detailed tour of him . Bet you are really excited about full time travel . We have done it nearly 3 years now and love it and never looked back . Thankyou for following us 😊
If it’s running good John I’d leave the clutch alone for now, I would get the fan belts etc changed though, if they’re original they probably need replacing, and get those from Iveco. I think you’re right about the alternator issue, you can upgrade it but obviously thats not a cheap option. We’re Looking forward to your next Europe adventure, the daily vlogs are always enjoyable to watch, we plan on a similar trip as our next adventure this winter. Hope poor Bodie makes a good speedy recovery.👍🍻
Daily videos when your abroad are fab as I'm sure some of your viewers can't get abroad so for us it's like we go with you ,think Brodie might if caught himself in barb wire possibly,also I would get Bruce neuted as you don't want him dragging you around Spain looking for senoritas of the doggie kind ,great video XXX ♥️
Hi guys Zoe, the brain fog is very real We have only visited Belgium for a couple of nights, just into Brugge, stayed in the aire just outside the city, easy walk in but not cheap at about €25 per night, well worth it though I would like to see a daily vlog as you go bank into Europe We too are heading back through France and I to Spain, early November, escaping our winter.
Omg you two are hilarious the 3 degrees 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 poor zoe bless her. My husband and I absolutely love you guys your soooo funny, your as crazy as us lol 😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
We had to take our dog to a vet’s when we were in Spain last year as she had diarrhoea. They did a full ultrasound scan anti inflammatory injection and antibiotics and they charged us 25 euros. We couldn’t believe it we were expecting a big bill.
In Germany,Travel up the Moselle from Trier to Koblenz. Loads of cheap and free stop every few miles, pay a few euros for metered ehu connection only on some. beautiful motorhome tour! Concorde factory is on that route( Polch I think 🤔 it’s called.)Plenty Lidls to stock up at. Belgium n Austria require Lotto money. You need to be drunk to pay the beer prices. Cheap fuel in Luxembourg on the way through from memory. 🍻👍
Have a look at the romantic road in Germany great stellaplats very near the towns for little money. Ends In Fusson on the Austrian border. The views of the mountains are fantastic.
As always, great video-it’s of content. Re Bertie, not knowing anything about engines, I would ask the service garage ( if you know and trust them) what they think. Re Bruce, I would definitely get him “done”, for one thing he would be less of a target for dog theft (potential stud) but we are paranoid about dog theft around us. I can’t believe anyone could charge £8.50 for a pint no matter how nice - shocker! Regarding the European blogs, I loved looking forward to them every day last year - I felt as if I was on the journey with you - but you shouldn’t feel under pressure to do them. Meanwhile enjoy the exciting build up and planning - stay well and safe 🐾❤️🐾❤️
Thankyou so much Irene for your lovely message as always. Yeah getting excited about Europe now. Good point about dog theft but they would bring Bruce back if they could get hold of him 🤣🤣❤️
Hi Zoe don’t worry too much about the brain fog. It happens to most of us. It is very frustrating as you say. I take a vitamin B complex supplement and find it helps. Love to you both and hope Bodhie is soon recovered. ❤❤❤❤
Aw, poor Bodie, Border Collies are so boisterous, he's probably caught himself without you realising. When you go to Europe just do what you feels good, you only live once. Zoe, you're one of a kind and make my day when I watch your videos. Keep doing what you're doing, lass and John. You're funny to , thank you both for great content 😊
@tc5042 Yeah, that's what I'm thinking Tc as it will be expensive and I can put that money towards the European trip as it will be more expensive this time 👍
Oh poor Brodie and yes definitely every day vlogs yes castrating is a good idea we got a puppy jack Russell called digga he's only got one testie so we getting him done zeena is 21 months but been spayed great vlog guys safe travels Deb Pete zeena and digga oh holly to ❤
100% and we paid as after last time can’t get him insured. We really did think he was not coming home. Having to carry him in and out 4 times a day, we love both our pooches. Hopefully in 60 days he is back. ❤
Rip OFF (not OF). Remember last year guys ? - you were so cold and wet in France that you changed your plans and cut across to Benidorm earlier than you expected - so we would imagine it would be cold in Germany at that time of year. We will be going through France into Spain mid November - coming back to UK early January - might meet up with you there again.
Hi guys, hope Bohdie is ok. We had Sammy done, but it didn't see much difference. Daily when abroad seemed to work because there's more to explore ! Safe travels ❤️
Yeah don't think we will have him done as read loads of reviews from people who say it doesn't make any difference and in some cases more aggressive . Hope you have got your van sorted xx
Yeah we did daily ones when we went last year and seemed to do well . It was more of the everyday stuff plus scenery etc oh and banter of course plus a few tears 😄
@@BertieBus they are a lovely family and have just returned from most of the places you want to visit and they don’t use campsites .Hope you enjoy watching them like we do 😊
Hi guys poor Bodie the problem with the UK it's ripoff vets the good thing when you go to europe the vets are so much cheaper !! We are off to Spain 10th November carnt waite.😎 daily vlogs would be great look forward to your adventures.
OMG hope Bohdie is ok 😱 Yeah shame about Scarborough. I’ve spoke to a lot of traders they say it’s only busy during school holidays with day trippers. It’s sad because we’re all year round visitors and the pubs, tunny club and Scalby mills will miss us The boy racers meet up at Alpamare in the evenings till stupid o clock in morning same as sealife . The locals won’t put up with the noise. I’ve seen the gypsies do reckies for park ups so suspect it won’t be long We van lifers were like security at Alpamare we kept all that stuff out Regarding Bruce I think he’s too young I don’t know if Aussies are the same as border collies but it should be around 2 years if you do it It allows for their hormones and bone density to develop It can also make them worse and reactive so it’s worth looking on the groups for advice chemical neutering is an option it takes 6-8 weeks before you notice any changes I know about Knobhead border collies 😂. Safe travels 👍
@@BertieBus yeah my thoughts too. Southend dog training on TH-cam is a Good resource A lot of reactivity is learned behaviour certain breeds Just don’t like collies. It’s just knowing which ones I have a list 😂
Lots there again. First off we are in Benidorm for Xmas and new year!!! Germany will be more expensive, colder and you’ll pay more for fuel to heat the bus. Billy was born there and Nikki lived there for a bit too. Great place but not as cheap. Anyway listening to Zoe’s French up at the castle you’ll be like locals travelling through France :) £8:50!!!! How were you supposed to know there were cheaper ones if there’s no price list. Even cloudy hipster beer in our town is only £5.50.
Hi, vets r a rip off £380 to get our dog put to sleep and got his ashes back . Definitely definitely would not faff on with clutch if its not broken don't fix it , And £8:50 a pint i wud of said so this is why the place is empty and it will b my last 1 , And we so looking forward to watching u travel abroad,and yes vlog everyday will b great :) ps we just come back from Krakow Poland, 6 pints of lager 2 big meals checked online banking was only £34 lol and we seen a lidl cheap as chips ... benidorm 3 weeks nice 1 ... Take care from Kevin and susan here 👍

@BertieBus Got a cold but still managed to eat and drink too much lol xx
I'm with you Zoe, brain fog and menopause go hand in hand 😶🌫along with all the aches and pains in my legs 🤦♀ Hope Bodie heals well xx
Bodhie is healing good thankyou 💓

Thankyou glad you like watching us. It's great isn't it full time hope you enjoy living in your van full time ❤️
When it’s in for service, I’d ask the mechanic to look at the clutch and get his opinion. Poor pup. Hope the wound recovers soon x
Thankyou yeah Bodhie is alot better now thanks 😊 ❤️
@@BertieBus good to hear

Yeah it's certainly on our minds what to do . Thankyou

Doing Germany and Belgium is no more expensive than France.. Don't forget leaving in November the weather is going to be possible wet and cold .
Thats good news . Yeah hope the weather is kind to us until we get to south of Spain .
I wouldn't change the clutch John .If it isn't broke don't change it .
@tc5042 Yeah, that's what I'm thinking Tc as it will be expensive and I can put that money towards the European trip as it will be more expensive this time 👍

You defo did the right thing taking him. £3200 so far for us, changing Beethoven name to wolverine as the both front legs re- built ❤
