Great to see you back guys. Sometimes, life just gets in the way of stuff. Looking forward to your travels.
Thanks so much for watching Graham! We are too!! 😀
Good luck. Hot showers. If you are in warm weather, solar showers are so easy and FREE. We have a motorhome with shower but use solar bags as often as possible. OUTSIDE! Never tried in the shower cubicle but I'm sure its easy.
Outside showers, if possible means less tank emptying, no wiping down and it great fun.
Thank you! That’s a really good idea, will look into that! 😀
Yay you are back 🥰🥰 good to see what you've been up to. Looking forward to your next upload whenever that will be.hoping our paths will cross on our journey back!!
We cannot wait to get out and about and would absolutely love to bump into you 💛💛

Hey guys......So I love the vids and your vario. Just one major problem for me. You poor bus has no name!!! Something built witb such time and devotion deserves a name.

From Tom and "Sunflower" the yellow mercedes campervan xx
Ahh... see our van does have a name, but its not a very nice name so we don't call her it to her face... (Its the Pretty Shitty Van Van!!)
Nice to have you back. You look okay, have both arms and legs and can stand as if you were upright. We have missed you and been a little uneasy for you. But now you're back. Hurray. Looking forward to seeing your adventures. Take good care of each other.

Shenanigans always!!
I can’t believe how far we’ve come 🤣 I really hope you’re doing good xx
@@MaxSophieinaVan I am thank you! Head Coach at Roller Derby now, thinking of moving out of the flat (into a house not a van unfortunately haha) and in with my partner this year...then cats...lots of cats...that's the plan!
Cats are always a good idea!!!

Remember to eat chocolate biscuits chocolate side down. Good to see you back.
Always eating them upside now! It’s changed my life!!
Great news. So glad you are both okay. Honestly thought something had happened.
Thanks for watching! 😀
That’s so exciting! If you have any plans on coming to Spain, we would love to meet up! 🤩
Thanks for watching! We don’t any any plans 100% set on where to go yet, but will let you know! 😀
If it makes you feel better, my van build has slowed down because I really don't want to tackle the sliding door issues lol.
Don’t get me started on our sliding doors! Not quite worked that one out yet either 😂 thanks for watching!! 😀
Look into the incinerator toilets, very pricey but they don’t need water. Saw a US channel about RVs and was impressed by the fact that one cup of waste(ash)from 4 people in a weeks use
Ooh we’ll check that out, thank you! 👍
Safe travels
Thank you!
Good stuff
Thank you!
I have just seen you in Montignac, I was in the laundry and I thought I know that van lol, are you on the Aire in Montignac tonight?
Oh my goodness no way!! What a small world - we’ve spent the day at Lascaux at the museum and we’re heading to Cahors tonight! X
@@MaxSophieinaVan oh ok, iv been here for about 5wks and it’s really nice, I’m going to Sarlat tomorrow which I think you will pass on your way to Cahors, then I’m going to spend a week in Vasac right on the banks of the Dordogne…
I love your videos. I am looking for a van like yours Mercedes Vario, but I have a question, and it is the height of the box, since I am 1.80m tall and I don't know if that model is much higher. Do you also know where I could find the same or similar? Greetings and thank you very much.
Hi, can you give a bit more detail on what you do at these events? Do you have specific jobs you do or is it more along the lines of odd jobs as they come up.
We run a production company, so manage event sites, help with health and safety, help organise, plan and produce the events!
@@MaxSophieinaVan cheers.
Just wondering if you guys are doing OK? All well I hope
self build vans are never finished, im building my second van but my first one still has a few jobs to finish ;-)
It’s a never ending cycle 🤣 wouldn’t have it any other way though!!
How much did you pay for the van and what was the milagem cheers.
👍 "promo sm"
im trying to like your vid whats happening, i have not disliked your video ????
