I wrap my kettle in a tea towel while driving. Things shift about in cupboards. Although I have collapsible fabric bins to reduce shiftage, I wrap the French press and kettle in towels.
Looks like you are having a great time, have you a leak under your van due to the freezing conditions the carpark you stopped at was full of water under the van.
Andora is a great place to visit and some great deals on loads of stuff but not too great if you don't really want or need LOL. Great journey so far and the Crafter is working for you xx
Hi family loving your blogs we full timed from 2000 for 10yrs then 5yrs 6months in Spain 6months UK. Now in our 70's can't do it any more but the best memories best decision we ever made. Good weather on the East coast and Almeria although cold am/pm. Well done Charlie keeping van clean & tidy it's not easy especially with 3 kids will be watching your trip have fun & keep safe Lovlies xxxxx
Great video guy's. Just caught up with the last few videos ( sorry). And sudenly realised I spotted you on the phone walking down the yard in my village before Christmas. If I'd realised earlier I would have called down the the yard with coffee and cakes for you all as I live in the street behind. Oh well stay safe and enjoy. By the way your van is awesome and puts me in mind to build one now.👌
On the vw Transporter there’s a speedo adjuster in the settings menu, to adjust for different size wheels, I think there’s probably the same for the crafter. Have a look in multi function display menu, it plus or minus 3 mph adjustable. 👍
@@TheRollingRucks Just had a look and in the menu theres a winter tyre section, you can adjust the mph plus and minus 5 mph to suit the wheel and tyre sizes. Hope that helps👍
I have to say it... Stu's accent is amazing. I was in Cardiff a few years ago for the Rugby and even though we lost I had the best day ever. Everyone talked like Stu, everyone was friendly, the banter and crack was immense. We love our Celtic cousins ! even when they stuff us in the Six Nations. Have a look at getting a cheap French SIM card which will give you unlimited data right across Europe. I think that for 10 EUROs a month you can get it sorted.
It’s freezing but the blokes in still in shorts , 😇 massive respect . Local SIM cards are good we used them in H’s phone for the whole trip. Well done on changing the bulbs over , I thought when I saw Stu watching TH-cam this is clearly not straight forward. France in winter is a delight in spring/ summer and a pain in winter apart from the baguettes. Looking forward to Andorra. Safe travels Helen and Martin x
HELLO RUCKERS IVE BEEN WATCHING YOU ALL AFTERNOON LUV THE VAN ONE OF MY FAV VAN BUILDS AND YOUR FAMILY FROM WALES BRIDGEND IM FROM NEWPORT SAFE JOURNEY AND IM ON IT WITH YOU PRUNNIE FARTARLOT BY NAME FARTARLOT BY NATURE THATS WHY I COULD NEVER HAVE A VAN BUT I LUV WATCHING U SHOUT OUT FARTARLOT IN ONE OF YOUR BLOGS GO ON MAKE MY DAY LOVE DEBZS X
@0:01 - Not only when abroad !!. When they were building the new Aberdeen Peripheral route, the first day one section opened, there was a huge line of traffic all following one other; we all went up to a complete dead-end and had to do a 180 and back down the road to the proper turn -off (which was badly sign-posted). Everyone was flashing & tooting to each other mixed with frantic waving of hands. It was so funny as this must have been been happening for hours !!!. Yep, sheep right enuff ! Happy & safe travels guys. :o)
Just to let you know that hubby and I are finding your travels really interesting and inspiring, so much so we are going to take our van abroad and have a great time exploring Europe too. It's great following what you journey. Ps, your children are a real credit to you. You're such a lovely family. Happy travels. .
Such a lush comment thank you so much! So lovely to hear you are enjoying the vids and they are inspiring you to do the same. You will have such a good time xx
I concur. The children are hopefully creating great memories thanks to you. And... they are a credit to you both. So polite and happy young people. Cover their eyes on Saturday so that they don't see the Ireland v. Wales Rugby result. I'd hate to ruin their vacation !
Great video guys, I like you was panicking on those icy roads. It must have been scary. Glad you made it safely. I do remember when you were there before Safe travels, and see you in a bit 💜💜💜🇦🇺🇦🇺 0:01
On our T5 you can get a bracket which folds the double seat and reclines it about 10 degrees. Not sure if you can get one for the crafter. Make it far more comfy if you can👌🏽🏴😉
We use Waze to navigate as it has your speed and the speed limit on the screen, it also has the best traffic info. You can put in your crit air or other vignettes in and it knows where you can and can’t go. We were parked behind you in Folkestone Morrisons and are now in Switzerland heading for Venice then Sicily, ferry to Sardinia, ferry to Corsica then ferry to Nice and home in the 90 days. See you on the road somewhere maybe🤞🤞🤞
Ahhh amazing!!! Thank you for sharing… really? Wish we had known would have said hello 👋 hope you have an amazing trip we can’t wait to do Switzerland xx
Brilliant vlog again, great to see Andorra, looks lush, tyres behaved impeccably, fantastic to do these adventures as a whole family, you will have great content to look back on when you are old like me 😂 Enjoy your time away, have a blast & thanks for sharing. Mark & Lorna xx
Great to see you visit Andorra but you only visited the main city. The country is way more than a city although its nicer in the less wintry months. :)
Hi guys vans looking fab for the new travels. I’ve a t5 with folding / reclining seat bracket from Vankraft. This makes a huge difference on short & long drives. May be worth asking them if do 1 for the crafter.
It’s Winter there all right! My daughter’s boyfriend is over in France just now, on a skiing holiday. I hope you have a safe and enjoyable trip. Looking forward to following the videos of your latest travels. Stay safe.
Great vlog .. when you was driving in the bad snow and couldn't see much is just like here ..😂 .. look at the weather report for Costa del sol . I was chatting with a friend today who lives there .. for the next week highest is about 15c . So don't rush . Might be warmer on the way down ... have fun . 👍 🍻🍻🍷🍷
loved it guys thanks,,,,,still a little claustrofobic about the kids den,every time I see it I get gusebumps but that,s my issue....do love the new van....
the mile and km app we all want to have it,,if you can post the link or at least the name so we can find it......and on beeing scared to drive on the right side....it is in the name RIGHT SIDE...lol P.S. I understand I was driving on the left side and for the first few hours I needed to change my undes twice....dont hold it against me
Great Vlog guys and nice seeing Andorra in the snow. We drove there in the car a couple of years ago but it was warm then. Looking forward to the next one ❤
Hi Stu and Charl. Another really good one, thank you. I have to say that the music that you use in the edit, matches your enthusiasm and 'go-getters' attitude, and add's to the enjoyment for us viewers. Are the tracks freely available? If so, I will be think of you both while listening to it. It's a jolly beat. Thanks for this 'unexpected' extra. Well appreciated. Looking forward to many more. 😄 Dave in Torquay.
@@TheRollingRucks Yes I know now, You gave me it on Facebook, and I was referring to that in my comment. lol It's a lovely tune and highlights the lovely feelings that you all generate. Should be your anthem. ;)
Hi, loving your videos, keep it up. We’re in a medium sized motorhome in the Algarve, weather class and more and more businesses starting to open up after the Winter Highly recommend Very busy though
Have a safe trip. Was there Sept/Nov last year, and we got down as far as Mojacar. Looks like you are having a great time even with the long drive. The vlogs are great and wish we were there instead of sat indoors in Burry Port🙄🙄
I was so looking forward to seeing this video ! I was wondering where ye were heading, looking for the sun. Isn't France (and the Continent) so cool. Greetings from cold, dark, wet Ireland 😞
I'd love to do a european bimble. It's just the thought of driving on "the wrong side" scares me a little. I think I'd enjoy it better sharing the journey with someone else in Viv-I-van or maybe join another van doing the trip. I suppose, once you get used to the roads, it becomes second nature. We'll see next year. This year I'm sticking with the UK. Loving your videos as I always do. I gotta say you seem to be more in the "spirit of adventure" in the new van than in the motorhome plus the kids seem to be enjoying it way more. Bessy regs-Kenny
Hi Kenny, you will be surprised how easy it is once you get going.. but, travel in pairs etc is good because any problems you have company. Go grab the opportunity if you can xx
We are heading down to Andorra and on to Spain later this year so really enjoying your travels! Please post all your Aires/Campsites so we can do our research for our Roadtrip. Keep safe and happy travels 😊
Id be on pins driving that in the snow lol Are you happy with the performance of the tyres in the snow or think you would of prefered to invest in some chains?
When we travel from Spain to Europe we always go via Andorra and use the same campsite. Just wanted to say February is Carnival time in Spain. Not sure which direction your heading but on the West coast the Fallas festival in Valencia is on weekend 17th - 19th March. on the 19th the Fallas (giant statues) are burnt to mark the end of the festivities. In Torrevieja near were I live the carnival is on 12th - 18th February and further south in Aguilas main carnival is on 25th February. And OMG I introduced your channel to my husband David, what a big mistake cause today he is on his way to England to buy a van and do a self build even though we bought a new campervan last year. I doubt if you will be wearing your bikini or budgie smugglers at any time it´s too cold.
Fantastic videos, can i ask what provision you make for possible vehicle break downs or recovery as you are away for some time in Europe.Looking forward to upcoming videos.
does the green air zone apply to older diesels only...your van must be a euro 6 engine, surely that is ok in the clean/green air zones...thats my thinking and understanding of them.....have a great trip....
Hey Stu n Charlie Really have/am enjoying your vids Congratulations on completing your van build I absolutely love the colour Can I please ask what the app is called that you are using Cheers Stay safe
Wow was totally not expecting a reply today lol 😆 But thanks Have been looking at speed meter apps There's so many !! Like you I have upgraded my wheels and tyres So want a GPS speedo that gets a good review. Hence the reason I was asking which one you have downloaded
I’ve always wondered why the front double seat doesn’t recline in vans, hopefully you can find a solution to make the journeys a little more comfortable. Great video and happy travels
Great episode yet again. we love watching you, even more to look forward to how . You have inspired us to go abroad , we are going to go to France next year for the first time in our caravan. What is the app you are using to tell you the speed you are going on your phone ?? Keep up the good work
Enjoying your videos. Can I ask a question please? I couldn't see any beam deflectors on your headlights. Do the bulbs solve this issue? Thanks in advance.
Hi guys. Loving your channel and the new van buid Quick question, can you tell me the speed app you are using? Hope ya find some warmer weather soon, too blooming cold for my liking lol Krusty l
can you please clarify the speed app you used.... I put in speedmeter but it results in lots of different apps none of which looks like yours... Thanks
I’m interested in which app you’ve used aswell as it’ll help myself with my van running 20”wheels. I’ll email yourself aswell. Keep up the good work with the channel. Cheers
I’m travelling the same journey as you in a few weeks you need to be a Spanish Resident to apply for a Clean air zone Sticker And you can’t apply for one in the UK if you’re travelling to spain so what I’ve been reading is that it does not apply to UK travellers with a UK numberplate Maybe some of your other subscribers can confirm that information because it would be good for other travellers to know Have a great trip
@@TheRollingRucks are you sure about that? I watched beginning 3 times on TV and can't see image. I'll have to go to Specsavers. Anyway that drive into Andorra, 😵💫
Not 100% sure but our take is that they are either in or out. If you take them out of the system you can put them back in but to pick and choose when they are in school we don’t try ink would be allowed XxRR
Whoop whoop…nearly Sangria time 😍xx
Hahah can’t wait to catch up xx
I wrap my kettle in a tea towel while driving. Things shift about in cupboards. Although I have collapsible fabric bins to reduce shiftage, I wrap the French press and kettle in towels.
Great idea thank you for sharing Pam xx
Looks like you are having a great time, have you a leak under your van due to the freezing conditions the carpark you stopped at was full of water under the van.
Yes 👍 xx
Andora is a great place to visit and some great deals on loads of stuff but not too great if you don't really want or need LOL. Great journey so far and the Crafter is working for you xx

Definitely recommend giving Waze a go as someone else mentioned. Best for traffic, Speedo, and visible turns on the map.
Thanks Roy xx
We are heading down to Andorra and on to Spain later this year so really enjoying your travels! Please post all your Aires/Campsites so we can do our research for our Roadtrip. Keep safe and happy travels 😊

Hi Chris we added breakdown with euro cover to our insurance with Adrian flux they were very well priced to XxRR
Till you get over half way in spain its cold, avoid the shade we 30 minutes south of alicante and it was 3 degrees this morning
Thank you for the tips xx

Hi Charlie if Stu has internet on his phone just set that phone up as a hot spot boom Charlie has free internet lol
Ahh yes didn’t think of that! Xx
Great video as always. Can I ask you what data sim/network you are using?
Enjoy your travels, stay safe and make those memories.
We are using an EE modem for our travels and then our phones xx
does the green air zone apply to older diesels only...your van must be a euro 6 engine, surely that is ok in the clean/green air zones...thats my thinking and understanding of them.....have a great trip....
Pray you are right otherwise we have a fine waiting! Xx
@@TheRollingRucks If you have a separate tank/filler for adblu next to the diesel filler you have a euro6 engine.
Great vlog looking forward to watching more. What was the name of the app you were using?
Hello it’s called speedmeter xx
Hey Stu n Charlie
Really have/am enjoying your vids
Congratulations on completing your van build I absolutely love the colour
Can I please ask what the app is called that you are using
Cheers Stay safe
Lovely to hear you are enjoying them. It’s the speed meter app xx
Wow was totally not expecting a reply today lol 😆 But thanks
Have been looking at speed meter apps There's so many !! Like you I have upgraded my wheels and tyres So want a GPS speedo that gets a good review. Hence the reason I was asking which one you have downloaded
No problem we always try to respond ;-) hope you get what you are looking for xx

Probably end up with a pillow on my back 😂😂😂
Great episode yet again. we love watching you, even more to look forward to how . You have inspired us to go abroad , we are going to go to France next year for the first time in our caravan. What is the app you are using to tell you the speed you are going on your phone ?? Keep up the good work

I'll download it and give it a try when I give the van a run👍
can you please clarify the speed app you used.... I put in speedmeter but it results in lots of different apps none of which looks like yours... Thanks
If you email us (address in description) then I will screen shot the app logo and send it over XxRR
I’m interested in which app you’ve used aswell as it’ll help myself with my van running 20”wheels.
I’ll email yourself aswell.
Keep up the good work with the channel.
Cheers
Absolutely lovely, thank you for the VloG. Thoroughly enjoyed all of it? I wonder how much you can pick up KO twos in Andorra for?
You can pick up snow chains no idea about wheels xx
how would that find your address for a green air zone fine I don't think the uk will share that information
That’s actually a very good point! Thank you xx
I’m travelling the same journey as you in a few weeks
you need to be a Spanish Resident to apply for a Clean air zone Sticker And you can’t apply for one in the UK if you’re travelling to spain
so what I’ve been reading is that it does not apply to UK travellers with a UK numberplate Maybe some of your other subscribers can confirm that information because it would be good for other travellers to know
Have a great trip
Thank you xx
I've followed your van build but I can't work out how you heat your water up for a shower

Can't you get a french SIM. I use a digi SIM in Spain,£18 for 100gb

How do you keep your kids of school that long?
We home school them whilst travelling xx
So can you switch from one to another as we would like to do that thanks
Not 100% sure but our take is that they are either in or out. If you take them out of the system you can put them back in but to pick and choose when they are in school we don’t try ink would be allowed XxRR
Happy travels, have you a parent or grand parent who are Irish if so get an Irish passport
