Looks pretty cool Sandy and Tim. Glad Pablo is doing better.
Hi Sandy & Tim. Such a great video with your new Camping Pod. Top notch editing and hosting. Very entertaining to say the least. Great couple ❤ Simply fantastic all round.
Thank you 😊❤️🙏glad you enjoyed our video ❤️we really do appreciate the support 😀
We have a friend who camps on weekends and they love their tear drop.
Thank you 😊❤️🙏yes it’s definitely a love them or hate them type of living style 😳you’d have to be quite minimalist to really enjoy them 😊
It looks absolutely gorgeous guys, I wish you a lot of great memories and good time in it!
Thank you 😊❤️🙏🚐
Wow love the teardrop camper, so cute and cozy.
Thank you it is adorable but impractical 🚐🙏😊❤️
How cute is the pod! Our water pump was really loud too so it may be normal!! ❤
Thank you 😊❤️🙏it was very noisy
We've never seen a teardrop camper so this was super interesting to watch! This little guy really look pretty awesome 👏
Thank you 😊❤️🙏so glad we showed you something new ❤️
I love the idea of these campers, very compact. Beautiful views as always. Great video ❤
Thank you 😊❤️🙏it is cute but impractical 😳
I thoroughly enjoyed the tour of this cute teardrop camper 😊 yes, can be a bit inconvenient for two people but it can be fun too, which I can see you both are having 😀 enjoy my lovely friends 👍🏽👏🏽
Thank you 😊❤️🙏yes it was a little cramped 😊but we did have fun 🤩
Such a small place. But very cute still. Poor Pablo, but luckily nothing serious ❤
Thank you 😊🙏❤️yes luckily it was nothing serious as the emergency vet we $270 an hour 😳
You really make the videos FUN to watch. I love going on these adventures with you.
We are glad to entertain you 😊😀🙏❤️thank you Scully ❤️
Thank you for sharing good morning.
Thank you 😊🙏❤️
Beautiful country and scenery!
Thank you it’s a favourite place of ours 😊❤️🙏
I want a teardrop camper so bad, this is awesome!
Thank you 😊❤️🙏🚐it was a fun experience
Thanks for taken me along for the ride
Thank you 😊❤️🙏we appreciate the support you’ve given to our channel ❤️
@@SandVan my pleasure
Interesting video we appreciate you sharing with us
Thank you ❤️😊🙏🚐
Looks like a cool little pod 😎
Awww Pablo looked so sad when he had the stick stuck. Bless glad he's OK 💜
Great video guys 💕💜x
Thank you ❤️😊🙏🚐yes the pod is cool but not practical for our needs ❤️Pablo is doing well after his traumatic event 😂😂
So beautiful scenery. Great to repair and rearrange the trailer Looks great. You guys so handy . L117
Thank you 🤗
A fantastic little caravan/camper...but waaaayyyyy too small for us (couldn't even fit Rhian's shoe collection in there!). Beautiful area and how cool to have the shelters available, you would've been either wet or cramped without it. Great video, take care 🤗
Thank you 😊❤️🙏🚐yes we can’t wait for the van to be finished so we can get our home comforts back ❤️
I quite like the idea of one of these. I think it would be cool for one person on a weekend trip.
Thank you 😊❤️🙏🚐yes they would be a perfect solo weekender ❤️
Glad Pablo was all OK! Have to say I agree it looks better suited to a solo traveller, but still looked like a fun experience in a beautiful location 😍
Thank you 😊🙏❤️it was fun but no good for the road fulltime 😳😂
@The Sand Van no I would imagine not, looked very cosy 😂
I enjoy following your videos Sandy and Tim from here in East Tennessee.
Thank you Doyle 😊❤️🙏wow East Tennessee 🤩we really do appreciate the support ❤️
Wow what an awesome swap out guys 👍👍
Thanks for sharing 🙏💯🔥✅
Thank you😊🙏❤️thankfully it’s only temporary ❤️
This looks like such a fun adventure! You are such a delightful couple to watch also. Makes me wanna get out there are have my own adventures too. Thanks for the inspiration and thank You for sharing.
Thank you 😊❤️🙏so glad that you enjoyed our video and drew inspiration from it ❤️🚐we would love to see your adventures on TH-cam ❤️❤️
Great video. Looking forward to watching future episodes. 😎😎😎
Thank you ❤️😊🙏we really appreciate the support ❤️
Such a great video and lovely couple! 🥰 Hope to see a lot more adventures soon!
Thank you 😊 🙏❤️so good to meet you guys 😀how’s Brisbane treating you?
Pablo is adorable! Thanks for sharing this pod episode y’all.
I watched a video yesterday of a chap who lives full time in his teardrop camper. Quite cramped yeah? Cheers guys.
Thank you ❤️😊🙏🚐yes they are quite cramped but if you’re a solo traveller and a minimalist they could work well for you ❤️
Happy Friday 😊
Thank you Dan ❤️🙏happy Friday to you too 😊
Amazing video n ur adventures are wonderful. Nice blue pod. Enjoy. 👍🙏
Thank you 😊❤️🙏
I'm 6 minutes in, looks very interesting, I have saved, I have to do my chores. Cant wait to see rest of Podlife!!
Thank you ❤️😊🙏🚐hope you enjoy the rest of the video soon ❤️❤️❤️
Fun times, thanks for sharing
Thank you ❤️😊🙏🚐
@@SandVan you are welcome
Lovely vlog Sandy Your 2 Peas in a Pod now 🤪🤪LOL Take Care both Hugs 👊🦋🐾👍🐶🏴😘
Lol 😂 thank you Stephen ❤️❤️🙏😊🚐
That's a beautiful pod and I think it would be fun however not for long-term living. Great video have a wonderful weekend.
Thank you😊🙏❤️🚐we agree it’s a short term holiday type lifestyle 😊🙏❤️well done to anyone that full times in one 👏👏
Those teardrops are pretty cute. We see them being pulled by fuel efficient vehicles so they seem like a pretty economical solution. Just a pain for parking.. Beautiful camp spot btw!
Thanks Liz and Charlie 😊❤️🙏they’re perfect for the solo traveller but weigh 800+kg unladen and not as versatile as a single vehicle when camping ❤️but I can see the plus sides for people who own them 😊can’t wait to get our van finished 🚐❤️
Awesome video! Cool Pod too!
Thank you ❤️😊🙏🚐we really appreciate the support ❤️
Those pods crack me up so much 😂 great video. I don’t think we could go from motorhome to this. Such a fun video. - Chelsea
Thank you ❤️😊🙏🚐yes it was a great experience and experiment into an alternative way of living on the road ❤️
Cool ✌️👵
Thank you G Ma kelly ❤️😊🙏hope you’re doing well ❤️
Poor Pablo, glad he's better. Great scenery. Teardrop Is a hard no for me as well. Great video keep them coming 👍
Thank you he’s doing well 😊❤️🙏I agree the pod isn’t practical for us 😀
Great video
Thank you ❤️😊🙏🚐
Cool little teardrop camper nice review 😊
Thank you ❤️😊🙏🚐so glad you enjoyed it ❤️
Real nice indeed, love the outdoors. We have subscribed😎
Thank you 😊❤️🙏we really appreciate the support 😊🙏❤️🚐
Love it! When you know how, it’s easy ahe! That would make a great shirt. Have a wonderful day. 🤓🤓🤓
Thank you ❤️😊🙏🚐yes it would make a great t shirt slogan ❤️
Making the bed in there must be a nightmare. Bless Pablo, hope he is OK. Tc guys x
Thank you 😊❤️🙏pablo is in fine health 🐕 yes the bed was just silly to make in such a small space 😳
It’s one of those things that looks great with lots of design innovation but to practically live I would be claustrophobic and I guess in the rain you would be sat in the car - thanks for sharing
It’s beautiful but impractical 😊❤️🙏like a supermodel 😂
What a fun video guys. I couldn't stop laughing 🤣🤣
Thank you 😊❤️🙏🚐glad you enjoyed it 😀
Nah then, ay up me ducks. So, you got the little teardrop caravan. Here's to you guys having many adventures and much fun in it. Ay a great weekend 👍🙂
Thank you 😊❤️🙏🚐it was just a rental to try a different style of on the road living whilst our van gets rebuilt ❤️
Nothing like a back breaking camper...👍
Thank you ❤️😊🙏🚐yes we can’t wait to get the van finished and back on the road again 😀
Rule of thumb for us is could we fit our espresso machine in it. That, and probably not enough room for the greyhound to roach. So probably a bit small for us. 😁 It does look like a lot of fun though. Nice work Sandy and Tim!
Thank you😊❤️🙏it’s fun but ultimately not practical long term ❤️
Great share. Keep growing
Thank you 😊❤️🙏
Wow beautiful country
Thank you 😊❤️🙏
Great video ❤
Thank you sheena 😊🙏❤️
cute and snug little Pod. How much do you need to go in there? Ha ha ha ha
Thank you❤️😊🙏🚐we only really spent our time sleeping in the pod it’s to cramped for day use 😂
Awesome camper Guys- We Camped out of our teardrop trailer for many of years!
Thank you ❤️😊🚐🙏we really appreciate the support ❤️
112 👍👍
Beautiful sharing friend 💐💐
Thank you 🙏❤️😊
Cute little pod! We don’t know any more about it than you guys 😂
Thank you😊🙏❤️yes it’s a cute little home , not sure it’s for us though 😳
That's HUGE inside compared to our "micro-camper" Citroën Berlingo conversion - you guys had luxury!!! Warm wishes from Millionaire Paul :)
Thank you Paul 😊❤️🙏🚐
Hey hey guys 🤗
U guys always make me lol , great video , looks like a lot of fun but it also looks like a lot of work .😜
Thank you we love making people smile and chuckle 🤭❤️
I have a friend who was making these campers at one time, not sure if he still is or not. I have seen some really nice ones.
Thank you ❤️😊🙏they’re as cute as a button 😊
Hi Tim & Sandy
Hello Alan ❤️😊🙏hope you’re doing well ❤️
Haha, this is a rather small caravan. But it does look like quite a bit of comfort in a very small space!
It was interesting! 😁
Have a great day! Kaat
Thank you 😊❤️
Great video you guys that teardrop campers seems really really small thanks for sharing keep up the great work jk3 😜🤪
Thank you 😊❤️🙏it was not spacious 😳😂
LOL! Yeah, I imagine having to move all of the gear that you normally keep stored away would throw you off of your game. I have several pouches & bins that I'm constantly taking in & out of my packs. Sometimes I get lazy and leave things in the pack and regret it later. I'm glad you did this little adventure. My wife & I have eyed the little Pod trailers in the past as an inexpensive option to get out of tents. Rachelle finally has her horses & she leaves me to do some hammock camping on my own now. 😅🤣😂Who would have expected having to use the remote to open the camper? That kitchen is interesting. Ah, too bad about your pup getting a stick lodged in his mouth. It was very fortunate that you had some cover. LOL! Yeah, those are some pretty cramped corners. Pretty good to get off of the ground but ... Thanks for putting this together & sharing! See you on the next one!
Thank you for the wonderful comment 😊🙏❤️yes they’re good for the solo traveller and minimalist but we prefer our van as it is fully self conscious brained and we can safely carry all our camera gear as well❤️
I agree It’s definitely good for getting off of the ground but it’s a lot of work to set up and lug around 😊🙏🚐much prefer the stop and relax lifestyle of the van 😊
@@SandVan 😆 yeah, I would imagine so. You two practically live in that van.
We dig the Vanlife video Enjoyed the view your style ad vibes EXL New fans from Nor Cal
Thank you we really appreciate the support 😊🙏❤️🚐
Cool👍👍👍
Thank you ❤️😊🙏🚐
Good thing you all have shelter in your camp. What happens if you don't? 😂Judging from this video, I think you all are more of an RV, earth roamer luxurious camp kinda people. Great vid 👍
Yes we are so much better suited to vanlife 🚐❤️😊
Glad the pup was ok 😅, you guys are great 😁also I could never do the pod. Tiny spaces make me nervous.
Thank you 😊🙏🚐we really appreciate your support ❤️
G’day Tim Sandy and pablo 👊😎
Hello busby ❤️😊🙏thank you for dropping by ❤️❤️
I think I’d last 5 mins in there, I hope Pablo is doing ok. Em 💜
Thank you 😊❤️🙏🚐yes it’s not for vanlifers 😊Pablo is doing well 😀
I'm so glad Pablo got sorted, he probably is as well. That could have been so much worse, you're great pet parents for taking him in straight away. I couldn't honestly imagine 2+ people spending an extended period in Betty Blue, especially in inclement weather. But she is cute. Hope the van build is going well. Excited to see what you three will camp in next, Pablo I believe is happy wherever, in whatever you two are in. Enjoyed the video and the lovely views. Stay safe and GOD bless
Thank you Alice ❤️🙏😊🚐Pablo does get the finest care 🐕❤️I agree the pod is just too small for anything more than a weekend away 😊😳the van build is coming along nicely 🚐🙏😊hope you are well Alice ❤️
Hello new friend here woow soo cute enjoy..
Thank you 🤗 we really appreciate the support
We loved the little blue pod 😊 looked super cosy , but we also loved watching you guys , yet again some great editing and very entertaining Tim and sandy . Keep up the great work you guys do 🥰 xx btw pablo is just so adorable 🥰 ❤❤
Thank you ❤️😊🙏🚐we really appreciate the support and thank you for the kind donation on but me a coffee ❤️❤️we enjoy watching your channel and adventures too 😊❤️🙏🚐
@@SandVan enjoy guys and it’s our pleasure 😉🥰🥰❤️xx
Interesting and amusing vlog guys. Don't think you'd manage in our Buddy Berlingo lol 😁. It kind of reminds us if our first camper setup of a boot jump. Changed cause we didn't like that you had to cook outside.. same with this teardrop, but with an added con...you have to tow it! Not for us either.😒🐕🚙
Totally agree ❤️😊🙏pull our kitchens are problematic in inclement weather ❤️
Lol you two are goofs 🤪 🤣 😂. Love it! The teardrop would be way to small for Scott and I and the two pugs. Scott is 6'4" and not very flexible, he get leg cramps at night sometimes and if he is restless he kicks the blankets off. I could just imagine him kicking the trailer on the inside 😆 🤣 Glad that Pablo was okay! Take care you two. 💙
Thank you 😊❤️🙏yes it was hilariously tiny inside 😂definitely not for you guys ❤️
I like the pod..lol..its cute
Thank you 😊❤️🙏it’s as cute as a button 😀
Super cute, and i wouldnt feel claustrophobic, but i wouldn't love the i efficiency of not having my stuff in one space.
Love your edting and you guys are cute as a button and interesting to watch.
Hope my video skills get to half of your skill for my channel.
Take care:)
Thank you ❤️😊🙏such a wonderful comment we really appreciate your kind words ❤️❤️🙏😊we agree that having all our stuff together n one place is so much more efficient ❤️
Lol paranoid mama r ya lol 💓🫣 happy to hear Pablo is good to go . 👍
U will definitely enjoy n appreciate ur van more since trying out that itty bitty pod . I mean it's cute but ,seeing u on ur rainy camp ...makes me think🤔 how long can u actually hangout in there .
Lmao u guys really make me chuckle 🤣
Great job on the tour .
Thanks for sharing
Hello Victoria ❤️😊🙏hope you are well and thriving ❤️yes cuteness only goes so far and we found that It wasn’t at all practical with the outdoor kitchen in wet weather ❤️😊so looking forward to getting the van finished ❤️🚐thank you for all the support you generously give to us ❤️❤️❤️
Well, you sure had me laughing, it is a whole different world eh. Car camping is even harder.
Thank you Dee 😊❤️🙏🚐yes it’s the vanlife for us or bigger 😍🚐
Teardrop campers are not for everyone and that includes me. LOL
Lol 😊yes we agree , 😂can’t wait until the van gets finished 😊🚐🙏
Hi Sandy and Tim, loved the video and sounds like the pod might be good for me in regards solo traveling. My only question is what was it like towing?
Thanks niki 😊❤️🙏it was very well behaved when being towed no need for extended mirrors as it was the same width as the car ❤️😀
Good video friends great i super like video friends
Thank you ❤️😊🙏we really appreciate your support ❤️
🤗
Thank you 🙏😊
hello guys great video!
a new supportive friend here!
connecting from tuberchat.
Thank you I will stop by soon 😊❤️🙏🚐
Don’t think teardrops are meant for sitting in, better left as a bed, we are looking at these campers because we could fit it in our garage, love the outdoor kitchen setup & sick of the small space our carravan storage space gives us as well as travelling 70km round trip to pick up & storage, this is a hired pod, so not looked after as if it were your own, looks great
We totally agree 😊🙏even though they have that option ultimately it’s impractical unless you really enjoy making beds everyday 😊but being super compact they are practical for storing at your home 🤩
Nice but it must seem a lttle smaller than what you're used to!
Thank you ❤️😊🙏yes it’s a lot smaller than we’re used to 😳
I still get a kick out of a pull behind camper being called a "Caravan" on the other side of the world!!!! Words are so different even though we all speak English. (Well, we speak some form of bastardized American over here, lol. Good luck with the new "pod".

Thank you 😊❤️🙏🚐yes it’s always amusing to hear all the different words and pronunciations every English speaking country uses 😂🚐
Ha! That table took years to raise!
Lol 😂 yep it’s a mission ❤️🚐🙏😊thank you frank ❤️
love the video that is way to tiny for me lol
Thanks Tony 😊🙏❤️I saw your rig and set up on your recent video and yes it’s definitely way too tiny for you 😀😳❤️
Hi Tim and Sandy. All I can say is “ Wow “
The Teardrop camper is definitely NOT something I would ever have entertained if I’m honest. Mainly because of standing room but it’s 💯 too small in 99% of the sense. The 1% being the awning lol. You deserve better for sure. I’m glad Pablo is sorted too as we know he’s mischievous and will always keep you on your toes lol. Till next time guys. Love y’all 🤗👍
Thank you 😊❤️🙏yes on reflection we agree the teardrop camper just isn’t for us as a viable option for fulltime on the road living 😳🚐we appreciate all the lovely comments you leave and the support you give us 😊🙏❤️truly valued friends indeed ❤️❤️
Thank you. We feel you’re such lovely people too. Hope to meet you guys one day ❤️
Not much head space, I think I might get a concussion in that thing
Thank you 😊❤️🙏yes I agree it’s tiny 😂
Alright. I'm about to walk into the podlife. Can you give me more info about this model?
yes this pod is a little squashy!! but it all seems to work.
Thank you 😊❤️🙏it’s tiny we can’t wait to get our van finished ❤️🚐
