- Just an average week showing how I use the van for my daily work and leisure... With a little bit of cycling thrown in for good measure... (I know, I look like an idiot in Lycra, but it feels so nice haha)

Great insight Colin. Couldn't help noticing at 2:29 that your spare wheel carrier bolt (the long one) doesn't look like it's fully tightened up. Only reason I spotted it, is that I've just done a video on my spare wheel. Packing cubes are ace, good to have a different colour for each family member too...
Always enjoy your videos Colin, this is no exception. Really interesting incl. Dom’s contribution. I love your infectious enthusiasm. Thanks. 💕🐾
Packing cubes - it’s the future, I’ve seen it! I just got Amazon basics and they’re fab 👍🏻👍🏻
Have a great week Colin, love to the Family , Be Well my Friend .
Becoming addicted to this channel! keep up the great work! Nice to see the camp out, and the big boss!!!
Fab video Colin, I spotted my van at dubbed out camp out thanks to Dom’s video, we were parked opposite you Dom! Packing cubes all the way also 🙂
Another Cracking video Colin!
Thanks buddy and thanks so much for the Dubbed Out content, it worked so well! Genius!
@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures you’ll just have to not miss the next one 😁 we’re all looking forward to your meet up 😁
I can't wait mate, its going to be ace.... ill be at the Dubbed Out day meet up so hopefully see you there!
Packing cubes are epic Col, my good lady and I have our own colours - the smaller ones are useful for your smalls, and the larger ones take your bigger stuff. We have five each, and can manage about fourteen days from that - the biggest challenge is smalls - I have found just booking into a campsite with a washing machine helps.
Fill them with clothes and stack them, the different colours make it easier to know whose clothing you are picking up. Towels etc are in their own cupboard in my van.
Ridgemonkey water container - thank you - I want one, and you have floated my GAS this evening and perhaps one will appear in my van shortly.
I like your cutlery draw solution - shame you didnt put a video up on that - I bought a cutlery roll from China made of canvas, which lays along the bottom of the draw and works well.
I use mine for everything, work and play! Great vid 👌👌🏁🏁
I use my van for work every day with my painting gear with paint as I'm a painter and decorator. Im very tidy and as up to now not spilt anything. 🤞 the rightemonkey bottle looked really cool.😊👍
Now the quiff makes total sense with the cycle helmet
Thank you for another great video Colin 👍🤟
We use our T6 SWB as our daily drive - my wife is a school teacher drives to school and back - you can easily park in Supermarket car parks - remember 2metre height barriers are tight or to be avoided
Been using the packing cubes since we started vanlife 🙂 they’re great 👍🏼
I'm a total packing cubes nubie 🤣🤣
Yey, Wanda and myself made the dubbed out clips 🥰
Was there yesterday, Bolton Abbey.......HAHA
Packing cubes are fab and as you say not just for clothes,hubby uses his for clothes and one for chargers and toiletries and we have each got our own colours so makes life easier....another essential we love for our van is a stretchable net that fits back of van and ideal for pillows and covers and means when barn door opens nothing falls out 🙈£8 at Amazon so worth a try...great video as always and when are you and family coming to visit Scotland?
Excellent , Free Pitza , yum !
Top notch vid again 👌
Ribblesdale viaduct is always a nice place to visit as I've been there many of times while on hol in Yorkshire.
It's lovely isn't it, I'm going to go back when it's snowed as I bet it looks stunning then
That is the greatest thing about Vans , just stop somewhere nice , and put Kettle on !
Absolutely matey
Only in the middle of my conversion and my van is my daily driver too. And, like a lot of others, have no choice.
And honestly, it's no different from just driving a big SUV or estate car.
Mind you I feel it might on work with smaller campers. T6 and smaller.
You have a Branston with you ! , he sneaked in there somehow , nice .
Haha I thought it was about time that I took him on a solo adventure
I use my converted T5 as my daily driver .... Wanted the vanlife experience but can't afford to run 2 vehicles 👍
Nice Mat at 5:02, Did you get the black placemat from Back to Home ltd?
Ey up buddy, no its the mat that comes with the magnetic glasses from Silwy ;)
great job colin you like your coffee m8
Haha cheers, coffee is life bud! Don't ever talk to me before I have had at least 1 coffee in a morning 🤣🤣
Riding with Otley CC, you should have legs like horse necks with those hills 🐴🐴🚴🏻♂️

Hi Colin , now' wrong with Lycra , exept if you are built like me , I would look like Mr Blobby in that stuff , lol.
Great video, where was the wedding being held?
Cheers Mark, the venue is called Hornington Manor :)
@@Yorkshirepoptopadventures Thanks Colin.
I see you are from Otley, I have commissioned T4 campers to do a full conversion on my new Fiat Talento lwb combi van. He starts it on 1st Nov, I hope. Waiting for pop top being supplied to him, for him to start it. He already has a bought rib altair 120 cm bed ready. By the way, what is your ftp ?
Ah thats awesome buddy! Yep from Otley, FTP is down at the moment due to not being on the bike for a while but usually hangs around the 280 Mark (on a good day)

I am in Cleveland Wheelers, came third scratch in club evening series last year and fastest over 60. I have averaged 27.4 mph in 25 mile TT races when i was younger, a bit slower these days.
Couldn’t help but notice you’ve still got your metal bulkhead mounts. I would have though these would get in the way. Are you planning to cut them out?
I kept them just in case (and because I was a little bit lazy 🤣) and they have actually come in handy a few times (good magnetic points for the stealth curtain). Not had a problem with them getting in the way as yet. Although I did grind out the floor ones so the seat could swivvel!
Interesting 🤔. Yea I can see how they might be useful for a magnetic stealthy black out curtain! And it’s a horrible job cutting them out, so if they’re useful… brilliant! Win-win. 😆
Morning great vid but thanks can you stop buying please the wife's already decided what she can put in the bags before she's bought any.
First again ha ha
