Lucky you! It seems you get a nice surprise daily. My sincerest sympathy and condolences to the turkish people , particularly those who lost their loved ones in this tragic event in izmir. RIP all the victims.
Good morning from Oregon. I was in Turkey, years ago, and saw what I thought, was a large amount of the country. I now realize just how little I saw! Thank-you for taking me along on your journey!
Hi Janis - we are so pleased you are enjoying our adventures in Turkey - there really is a lot to see and such a varied country - we still have lots more to show you xx
Super to hear you’re visiting Fethiye soon (recently, now). That’s where I live when in Turkey. Meanwhile the Turkish people have done you proud, as they always do, with your repairs and upgrades. Great video again! Thanks.
Hi Graham - thanks and yes we are heading your way we will be stopping and visiting Fethiye on our way south - we have heard so much about it. Keep a look out for Trudy - one things for sure you wont miss her - she stands out a bit LOL !
So gutted that I won’t be there to say hi. I am currently locked down in the uk. I hope you enjoy Fethiye, but those Black Sea coastal resorts were so attractive that you may have been spoiled already!
Understand this vlog, I just can’t believe the generosity of the Turkish people they are truly amazing. They just can’t do enough, beautiful to see this is still possible in this world. Just read this weeks letter looking forward to seeing the vlog. Thanks so much for sharing guy’s have a great week. 👍👍
Well said - We have been blown away but the love for Trudy and Us - and after all the negative stuff out there ... we can promise the world is a much better world that some would have you believe !! M xx
They are Marienne and Chris, they show me the best Turkey has to offer. Thank you Marienne and Chris. You made a bold step when you quit your jobs and start treading the world.
Thanks so much - we are happy to share and love spending our time here - please do share and spread the name of the channel to help us grow and show more of Turkey - kind regards Marianne 💐🌺
Hi both another great video aren't the Turks some of the most hospitable people on planet I got so excited when I heard Marianne mention fethiye I've been visiting fethiye for 16 years there's so much to do and see there
Hello Marianne and Chris 👋 Trudi transformation!! Turkish service is second to none - Tim is such a good help and a true gentleman Glad you’re both safe and really enjoyed watching the improvement Stay safe Sending you both beautiful vibes 🐝🌈💛💛 Angela, Derbyshire xx
Hi Angela thanks for your comment - yes how nice is everyone here - Trudy is looking amazing. Really pleased you are still enjoying the videos - thank you so much for your continued support - sending virtual hugs xx
Great video. There is nothing that can't be fixed in Turkey. From our experience we know there workmanship and level of customer service has to be experienced to believe. I am sure Trudy feels much better for a bit of pampering. Looking forward to the next video. Take care 💙❤️👍
You really have been blessed with the hospitality from the Turkish people, Erzil is a diamond (sorry if spelt incorrectly), and Tim another fantastic young man. I am so, so jealous of you both 😊
You are right! We have made friends for life and Trudy has new family too - there were many that told us to leave and get home ... but Trudy is our home and we are delighted to be here amongst new family - best wishes Marianne
How brilliant are all your new and old friends at making sure Trudy gets what she deserves 😀. Can’t wait to see when the new upholstery is added gonna look cool 😎. Must add never seen such a large doner in my life 😋😋
Hi Paul - Yes we have made some amazing friends here in Turkey. The new fabric is looking great you will see it being done in tomorrows vlog, Yes how big was that doner - biggest we have ever seen as well.
Hi Maria thank you for your concern - We were about 140 miles north when the earth quake hit, If you want to see daily updates and behind scene action then we post updates on Instagram, facebook and twitter xx
Absolute heroes, the people at Su Marine!!! Woohoo!!! It's amazing how the quality of life improves after sorting a couple of tiny little annoyances, let alone an entire list of them. Thank you, Tim & Crew! Some clever looking kit, that folding solar panel. 😯😯 Goes without saying, of course, but don't leave that unattended whilst it's deployed. 🙄🙄Good plan in using heavier gauge wiring for the future! Chris mentioned step ladders. Have you seen the telescopic aluminium ones for RVs? They're a bit pricey compared to regular household ones (about $80US for a 2.5m one), but they pop down incredibly compact! Food for thought... 😎👍🦅👀
Hi Aaron - yes aren't we lucky to meet so many amazing people !! We just cant believe how kind everyone is - Yes we have seen the ladders but when we left decided we didnt have room of course when you dont have them you wish you did LOL !

I hope you both be well..so sorry to know that Turkey got an earthquake ..stay safe...
home, sweet home, trudy is made beautiful ?. translated by google. hello you two, maybe also interesting polonez köy (adampol). polonezköy is near istanbul (15Km) on the anatolian side in beykoz. poland who fled to the ottoman empire have built a small poland there and when you are there you think you are in poland. we were there two years ago and it was an experience. stay healthy and all the best.
Hi guys..so excited to have ordered some stickers at 1:30 in the morning lol everyone should have a Ersal in there lives the world would be a much better place..we love the new colours 😍 please stay safe justin and carol in the UK 🇬🇧
It’s always the little things that can be annoying. Glad you were able to get everything taken care of in the van. After all, that is your home right now. I’m curious to see what colors you chose for the upholstery. Interior decorating is an interest of mine now having done a few remodels on properties I have owned in my life.
There are so many good people around the world. I have found in watching many van or bus life videos is the generosity of the individuals. I have come to another conclusion, lol, no matter how I build out my bus, I am certain something is going to change or be upgraded. I would say it seems to be the norm the upgrades or changes occur after you travel for a bit, sorry for long comment, I love watching videos about van or bus life, so much to do, so little time!
Wow, well said ... there is always something you can add - but the adventures that we have teach us it is always about the people and the places you visit for sure 🚐💐 Good luck on your bus built and we hope you enjoy your adventures - kind regards Marianne

Hi Chris and marianne 👏 just us 2 Saying hi and thanks for this update 👍 oh UK on lockdown from Thursday 😂oh well it is what it 👍 keep safe and say well and safe travels 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thanks 👍 The last lockdown here came about 4 weeks after the UK - so we will have to wait and see if this happens here ... we will be looking out for a friendly campsite to take us in for sure !! woo hoo
Another really enjoyable video. We can't wait to see the new colour's for Trudie's upholstery. I have my ideas will wait and see tomorrow Wednesday. Have Fun xxx
It sounds like you guys are having a great time 👍 is there any chance you could buck me in for a service lol you and your good lady stay safe and keep up the great vlog
Just a note on that solar controller I have similar /same one and the casing surprisingly on some models is positive ground ,there is also a negative ground model looks identical ,just something to note as your camper is negative ground ,maybe if the controller is not screwed to earth it may be ok ,it is odd some are positive ground but many tracer are ,anyway just a tip 👍👍👍
It really is! We love it and just love the new logo !! the next video is just made so I will do the subtitles and it will be ready for Wednesday !! woo hoo
Looking forward to seeing your next clips of updates on Trudy... You are welcome to visit us in Kusadasi next summer if you are still in Turkey. Take care and be safe! 💐❤️💕😘
Some great repairs and Modifications to Trudes. I have been doing some to EDD all summer. Just fitted a security box under the passenger seat today. It was kindly fabricated by a friend since I cannot weld. Ongoing maintenance troubleshooting and improvements are always needed in Van Life.
Hi Tracey hope you are both well. Security box sounds great - good to have some where to secure your valuables, Yes agree with you there is always something in vanlife that needs tweaking but we have solved a lot of them in Istanbul xx
28:53 Oh!. you found me!. good!. because I was getting out of oxygen!, 😀 😃 😄!!!. I was hiding here for a long time !. you are great!. thank you for the wonderful video series!. take care and have a wonderful day!. PS: This is a very creative way to end the video that I love it:-)) great!.
😂😆😂👍Thanks for your comment Steve and so pleased to hear you are enjoying our videos and endings - we just tried to make the end a bit more fun that just asking people to subscribe
Hi Stephen ... we will be sharing the making of the covers in tomorrows video (the vlogs are a couple of weeks behind) ... the live chat was the sneak preview and sharing all the new TTG stuff - M
Hi Emre - we are not sure if we will make it this time as we are heading south around the coast - Guess it all depends what happens with covid next year - so many places to see - we can't see them all but just means we will have to come back
Hi Andrew - we will use both - the foldable one is really just a top up when we are static - and of course when we get the powerbank which is being shipped we will have extra battery reserves too - woo hoo
An immobilizer wouldn't prevent the engine from turning over, that's correct. If the engine cranks but doesn't fire up, it's more likely an issue with one of the three key components for combustion: fuel, spark, or compression. Here are some possible reasons: Fuel Issues: Empty gas tank - This might seem obvious, but it's a common culprit! Clogged fuel filter or injectors - These parts can get dirty over time and prevent fuel from reaching the engine. Faulty fuel pump - The pump is responsible for delivering fuel to the engine. If it's failing, the engine won't get the fuel it needs.
No we just got the covers redone in Istanbul - you can see the changes in Tomorrows vlog - unless you joined us for the recent live chat then we show them there
Hi Jane ... yes ... us too - but hey ho !! we will keep on litter picking - us little TREAD wombles as someone started calling us LOL 💪😂💐💜 best wishes M xx
Just so you are aware, solar panels shouldn't be connected whilst the battery is connected to the charge controller as the panel can be damaged. The battery should be connected last. That's not my claim, its what all solar writeups say. Also, there are apps that tell you the perfect angle for your panel based on where in the world you are and time of year so you get the optimal angle and get the most from your panel/s. I do like my solar stuff 😁 Remember you'll have to keep moving the panel to chase the sun seeing as you don't have it roof mounted. You could lay it on the roof to save sun chasing, just don't forget to take it off again before you drive away! I used to do that before I mounted a fixed panel on my campervan, fixed is so much less faffing. Its good you have an mppt charge controller, that will get the best out of your panel for you 👍 How many amps is your controller capable of? I know that brand you have, I just couldn't make out the exact model. Just if its 10 amps and you want to go bigger panel wise in the future you need to make certain the new panels ampage isn't higher than what your controller is capable of receiving. If it's the 20 amp model you would be fine with a 250w panel no problem.
Hi Whu58 we are fine - Please do sign up to Insta and facebook to get more daily / up to date info - we are sending prayers and best wishes to Izmir and all those affected - kind regards Marianne
I presume this is a 2004 fiat ducato. Is there a reason why she is named Trudy. I am jealous of you guys i use mercedes sprinter vans for work. I will turn the 2010 3500 dually into a mtorhome and ship it to Hamburg and drive to Turkey from there. I will still still work but i will come and cruise in summer. i cant sleep in the damn thing when its raining though.
Yes Trudy the TREAD van ! (named by our niece Molly) - Your plan sounds great !! Chris uses earplugs LOL - maybe meet up on the road one day - Marianne
Your cushions look awsome, I love the colour. I have the same in my van. Are you having the new lockdown, when's yours starting? What are you gonna do and go? 💕😂👍
A question came to my mind was just wondering that now that you have travelled alot ..and Britain is your homeland and if you had to settle down somewhere else in the countries you have visited till now..which country it wud be..
Hi Nabeela good question but we are not planning on settling anywhere - we have chosen to travel - Every country is great for different reasons that is the beauty of travel. When we get really old and can't travel any more we will settle back home as our family is there x
@@TREADtheglobe thank you so much for taking the time out to reply to my question..u are so right every place has its own charms. So true.one can always highlight the good aspects of travel. Stay safe and take care .Istanbul is one if my most favourite cities..so was happy for u that in times of Corona you were in a great place..
Hi - please don't worry - if you follow our facebook page or Instagram page we give more live updates - thank you so much for worrying about us ... our thoughts are will all of those affect 🙏🌺
Although I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Portugal in the spring, I'm now regretting letting you leave Ironbridge solo. The van in the rear view mirror of Trudy, should have been Demi. ( I love my wife, but I like Demi Moore). Stay safe. The maybe just a hint of jealousy in that last statemen.t
Next time just follow us - we watched the video last night of us all at the duck and laughed as we thought we would be back in 20 months ... how it all changes ... just remember Trudy has 2 extra seatbelts ... and if you can get a flight and have a tent we can carry on that chat we were having in that carpark in Ironbridge !! take care Derek we will meet up again one day ... M xx
Unlikely ... I think they have offered them out to most content creators ... we have only got the foldable panels which are super neat and store perfectly - when we pick up the powerbank in the next month or so, we will share our findings, but you are right ... everyone is raving about them, so we are excited to get ours - living nomadically especially with so much stuff to charge ... we are so hopeful this is our power solution 👍😉
@@TREADtheglobe I can see the advantages having watched several 'You Tubers 'report on the efficacy. IF you have any negatives to report, please do so. I find that too many 'You Tubers', gloss over any downsides of products they are promoting.
They are in istanbul , the earthquake happened in İzmir , west of Turkey , İzmir is one of the important city of istanbul at Aegean coast , İstanbul is safe for the time being.
Hi Ted - We are fine, we were in Gelibolu about 140 miles away - Please do sign up to Insta and facebook to get more daily / up to date info - we are sending prayers and best wishes to Izmir and all those affected - kind regards Marianne

Hello friends. We' re waiting for your new covers. _ and videos of course. Stay safe.
Very soon!
when will you come to Eskişehir?
Hi Emre - we are not sure if we will make it this time as we are heading south around the coast - Guess it all depends what happens with covid next year - so many places to see - we can't see them all but just means we will have to come back
Be interested as to how you get on with the foldable solar panels as against fixed ones
Hi Andrew - we will use both - the foldable one is really just a top up when we are static - and of course when we get the powerbank which is being shipped we will have extra battery reserves too - woo hoo

The fixing up the interior of your van and the maintenance is interesting . Just curious what your miles per gallon is , or km per liter in Turkey ?
We're not sure of the exact MPG but we get about 500 miles a tank and its about 65p a litre here in Turkey - hope that helps
@@TREADtheglobe 500 miles per tank is good. I drive a Ford Transit diesel van at work that gets around 450 miles per tank , getting 20 - 28 mpg.

Its good you have an mppt charge controller, that will get the best out of your panel for you 👍 How many amps is your controller capable of? I know that brand you have, I just couldn't make out the exact model. Just if its 10 amps and you want to go bigger panel wise in the future you need to make certain the new panels ampage isn't higher than what your controller is capable of receiving. If it's the 20 amp model you would be fine with a 250w panel no problem.
Did you guys feel the effects of the Izmir earthquake?

I presume this is a 2004 fiat ducato. Is there a reason why she is named Trudy. I am jealous of you guys i use mercedes sprinter vans for work. I will turn the 2010 3500 dually into a mtorhome and ship it to Hamburg and drive to Turkey from there. I will still still work but i will come and cruise in summer. i cant sleep in the damn thing when its raining though.
Yes Trudy the TREAD van ! (named by our niece Molly) - Your plan sounds great !! Chris uses earplugs LOL - maybe meet up on the road one day - Marianne
Your cushions look awsome, I love the colour. I have the same in my van. Are you having the new lockdown, when's yours starting? What are you gonna do and go? 💕😂👍
Not yet! But as soon as it happens we will share it for sure - take care xx
bir kaç yıl önce istanbulda yaşanan fırtınada çalıştığım iş yerinin ön giriş camları komple patlamıştı fırtınadan dolayı .
Hi... I'm new... Been following you guys for last 2 months... When is your next live cast?
Not sure yet - we will announce it on the community page and make sure you subscribe and click the bell to get a notification - kind regards M
Have yous been through Marmaris yet
Not yet !!
A question came to my mind was just wondering that now that you have travelled alot ..and Britain is your homeland and if you had to settle down somewhere else in the countries you have visited till now..which country it wud be..
Hi Nabeela good question but we are not planning on settling anywhere - we have chosen to travel - Every country is great for different reasons that is the beauty of travel. When we get really old and can't travel any more we will settle back home as our family is there x
@@TREADtheglobe thank you so much for taking the time out to reply to my question..u are so right every place has its own charms. So true.one can always highlight the good aspects of travel. Stay safe and take care .Istanbul is one if my most favourite cities..so was happy for u that in times of Corona you were in a great place..
Please update us on if you were affected by the earthquake!😳
Hi - please don't worry - if you follow our facebook page or Instagram page we give more live updates - thank you so much for worrying about us ... our thoughts are will all of those affect 🙏🌺
@@TREADtheglobe Great!!! Thank you for the update 🌸💗🌸
Amazing.
Thank you! Cheers!
Although I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Portugal in the spring, I'm now regretting letting you leave Ironbridge solo. The van in the rear view mirror of Trudy, should have been Demi. ( I love my wife, but I like Demi Moore). Stay safe. The maybe just a hint of jealousy in that last statemen.t
Next time just follow us - we watched the video last night of us all at the duck and laughed as we thought we would be back in 20 months ... how it all changes ... just remember Trudy has 2 extra seatbelts ... and if you can get a flight and have a tent we can carry on that chat we were having in that carpark in Ironbridge !! take care Derek we will meet up again one day ... M xx
Under canvass? No chance. Last time I went camping was with the Girl Guides. The excitement was intense.😬😬😂😳
Stay safe
Is there ANY MoHo/ camper vanner on You Tube NOT promoting Poweroak ?
Unlikely ... I think they have offered them out to most content creators ... we have only got the foldable panels which are super neat and store perfectly - when we pick up the powerbank in the next month or so, we will share our findings, but you are right ... everyone is raving about them, so we are excited to get ours - living nomadically especially with so much stuff to charge ... we are so hopeful this is our power solution 👍😉
@@TREADtheglobe I can see the advantages having watched several 'You Tubers 'report on the efficacy. IF you have any negatives to report, please do so. I find that too many 'You Tubers', gloss over any downsides of products they are promoting.
Seems like every van lifer has been given a Poweroak
I am not surprised it is great for off grid living ... we haven't got the powerbank part yet - but have heard great things ... woo hoo
Grey Blue might be a good choice...
Sounds good to us - you can see the covers being made in tomorrows video x
Where will you go now Chris??
Are you both ok which part of turkey
They are in istanbul , the earthquake happened in İzmir , west of Turkey , İzmir is one of the important city of istanbul at Aegean coast , İstanbul is safe for the time being.
Hi Ted - We are fine, we were in Gelibolu about 140 miles away - Please do sign up to Insta and facebook to get more daily / up to date info - we are sending prayers and best wishes to Izmir and all those affected - kind regards Marianne
