    Brilliant Darren. Got a great caravan there. You will find many, many places to start camping. We got our caravan after camping, with frame tents, trailer tents and folding campers (and when erected, they can be much larger than a caravan inside, with less room for parking up for the winter), and lastly the caravans. You did everything correct, and by the way, that's the best caravan site with the children's play area and obviously, the scenery. You can't beat the Lake District. Fantastic. Heads up, just remember when going on some sites (not all), but just take note if you wish to use full service pitches, they ask you to use green fluid for their septic(?) tanks and not to use blue fluid. Blue fluid is only used to pour down main service drains, usually located near to the toilet facilities. People can he heavily fined if using blue in a septic tank. Its like putting diesel in your petrol tank. And why don't you do winter caravanning? You can visit Christmas markets around the country or even on the continent. Much cheaper than organising it with travel agents😉

      That’s true about traveling, I didn’t know there was a green liquid to use also 🙈 thanks for the heads up

    nice one , good to see you out in the caravan with the family , its a lovely van that is , do you guys for years , i had a few burger vans many years ago and learned the hard way to put everything away or tie them down with bungee cords , my oldest bought a lovely 2 berth this year from an old couple down in the lake district , he had no towing experience so dad went down with him lol once we got to Carlisle i pulled into the first service station for him to drive it home , well hes got to learn hasn't he 42 now so about time lol hes been out a few times in it and loves it , told him i will give him a tubular heater i use in green house it will keep the frost out in winter and costs a quid a week at most , keeps the temp up and stops the frost getting in , happy camping

      @Life_of_Darren I did go one and got to control one when was on a residential out of primary school it was really good, I just don't think I could manage the locks though. I don't live too far from the bingley 5 rise locks if you've ever heard of them they are always a nice sight to see.

    Enjoyed that Darren 👍 , the van's looking great . They ducks will be off when they see what you had on the pizza 😁 . Does it feel odd towing the van , as you're normally almost over your pivot point in an artic , where as with towing the van your pivot is more half way ?

    • @Life_of_Darren
      @Life_of_Darren  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Tbh it doesn’t feel too bad pulling the van, but the reverse feels little easier too

    That caravan is the mutt’s nuts mate, you’re going to have some brilliant getaways I that. Cheers for the video, we love Ullswater and that part of the Lake District, not as busy as other parts. We used to stay at Hillcroft, another brilliant site at Pooley Bridge, many happy memories of there.

    just the same as the other comments on the pink flush stuff, don't use it, you can clog up the pump that flushes the toilet. Great looking caravan mate, brilliant holidays for families.

    If you aren't using your caravan over the winter, stand your seat cushions up between the front seats, it stops them getting damp & keeps the air flowing.

    The black stuff in your flush tank is caused by using the pink stuff, I used cheap fabric conditioner instead. Have you cleaned your water pipes out for walks your normal taps? Get some puriclean, fill your aquaroll with the solution, run it into you pipes by turning on the taps until the water comes through then turn off, leave it overnight then run all the taps until the water runs out, then run 2 barrels of water through, your pipes are then clean & safe if you want to clean your teeth.
