Did that trip many years ago in a T25 , no ferry at that time so had to go through France. On arrival in Spain we hit a heat wave in August and the van started to overheat as it was a 1983 one of the first water cooled petrol spacemaker versions. With 3 young children 2 years to 6 years old on board we parked outside a garage beside a restraint, each night the garage would roll the van out so we could sleep in it and in the morning all the kids would march into the cafe to brush their teeth. As it was August the garage could not get the parts from Germany so we/they loaded the camper on a truck and delivered it to a campsite. Set up camp and really enjoyed 2 weeks . The garage came out to the site with the parts worked on it and got us going again. I love the Spanish they knew we were stuck and pulled out all the stops to get my wee family going again.
Wow what an incredible story you have to tell. What parts did you need to get?
@@ShaneandAneVanLife Thermostat and water pump
@@tombowen552 Aww no, we just replaced the thermostat and waterpump, hopefully we dont have the same issue you guys had !!

Love it
Thank you 🤗🤗
Good job guys, great information there. Enjoy the travels 🙂
Thank you!! Should have another video out next week🤗🌍📹
@@ShaneandAneVanLife keep them coming, ye are giving us great ideas for my 86 T25 Westfalia 2.1 petrol 🙂
This ferry is being replaced by a new state of the art ferry in november called salamanca...and in the new year salamanca will be replaced by galicia....much improved passenger facilities tv in cabins ...choice of restaurants/bars....and outdoor gym .....buy a electric cooler box in halfords or aldi/lidl and bring onboard with you to keep items cold ...instead of using vending machines most people do this and also a 4 way extension lead with a eu adaptor...so you have loads of power points....i never had a poblem with food onboard....also its an overnight sailing so ur asleep for some of it (possible 6ish hours ) not bored for 28 hours....i use this route 5 times a year when heading by car to almeria.....ive had a few rough crossings.....but prefere it than using the french ports ...great upload
Hey!! Yes when we were on the crossing they were telling us about the Salamanca! Definitely be better than the Connemara. That was our first time on a ferry so we werent fully prepared with food etc 😂😂 Definitely know for next time:) we were actually suppose to take that boat home last weekend but we cancelled and are staying longer 🤗🤗🌍
@@ShaneandAneVanLife watched ur renovation of fergus...really enjoyed ...only saw ur upload of the crash ...thankfully ur all ok....no wonder ur staying on ....stay safe...
Thank you!! We now have Fergus in the garage and hopefully be picking it up in 2 weeks.
@@ShaneandAneVanLifethanks for reply.... i recommend instaling a front and rear dash cam....camera never lies...best of luck with fergus....
Nice one guys.
Thank you 🤙☘
Bought our LHD T25 in Northern Germany, on Ebay from a family near Springer, near Hannover. Drove it via Luxembourg to Cherbourg and home to Cavan . Fabulous trip.
Ohh wow that's a cool trip. Might see you on the road we are in Monaghan 😀😀
@@ShaneandAneVanLife Had it for 6 years, sold it on and bought a Ducato based AuroRoller. Best of luck with your travels!
Germany is great, visit if you can, especially down bear Mainz and the wine growing regions.
Great campsites, very helpful people, and very friendly.
@@nigelmchugh5541 thank you:) we hope to go though Europe now and to the Dolomites✌️👍
@@ShaneandAneVanLife You will really enjoy the Dolomites,I have been there many times on my motorbike.This year I,m planning Bilbao to Potes,Picos de Europa,then Galica and south to Portugal..
@@patwatters8205 potes is a beautiful place!! Also Galicia has unbelievable coastline
Awesome amazing
Thanks 🤗
Love the accent
Ane has an unusual mix of accents 🤣🤣🙈
Liked and subscribed looks like an epic journey❤
Thank you!!
The ferry you took this time (2024) was much better, wonder is this old one still used?
Ohh yess so much better!! The old was was just a cargo ship :)
Not sure where or what the ship is doing 😊
As you never been on a ferry it is a large structure that floats on water, like Ireland is also a structure floating on water.
👍👍🇮🇪
¡Empieza vuestra aventura ! Nos ha encantado el vídeo! Nosotros estaríamos también tan en estrés que llegaríamos también el día de antes para estar seguros. Una pregunta: ¿es muy caro llegar a Fergie en el ferry? Cómo abusan cuándo no hay otra opción con los precios del agua o incluso de la comida, ¡sobretodo cuando la calidad es mediocre tirando a mala! Disfrutad mucho chicos! ¡Qué ganas de ver los próximos vídeos! ❤️
¡Muchas gracias chicos! 🥰 Una vez coges el ferry una vez es súper fácil pero la primera vez estás un poco perdido 😅 El precio del ferrie varía dependiendo de la época del año y de las dimensiones del vehículo, en verano son el precio de duplica o incluso más 😮💨 El billete de ida en julio nos ha costado casi 700€, 2 personas + una furgoneta (el precio incluye la cabina pero no la comida ni bebidas), y el de vuelta (en octubre) la mitad. ¡Los precios dentro del ferrie, lo que dices, abusivos y una calidad terrible! 😵💫
¡Tenemos muchas ganas de empezar nuestro viaje y de documentarlo! 🤭🤩
I've travelled to most countries in Europe and been on tons of ferries and that heap of junk is the worst ferry ever. It broke down in Portsmouth before we left for Spain and I was stuck on the wreck for 50hrs . Never again. Good luck with the channel 👍.
Yeah it absolutely sucks!! If 18 hours was bad I woukdnt like to experience 50hrs 😂 From next month on they have a new boat for the crossing so hopefully it's better. And the boat is very expensive also. Thanks for watching ❤✌
@@ShaneandAneVanLife No worries. I'm booked on the Galicia on the 25th Nov to Santander . 3 month away I the van 😎
Now *this* is how it's done. And is there a more perfect mix of accents anywhere than Ane's?
Thank you!! It sure is a unique mix of accents!! Spanish mixed with a hint of Monaghan 😅😁
Great vlog guys really enjoyed it although I'm pretty sure a ferry that size is classed as a ship not a boat🤣
Thanks Roger!! Yeah sorry about that definitely not a boat!! Wouldn't fancy taking our van on a row boat across the sea 😅🤣
Great stuff. May I ask where you got insurance from ? Considering similar
I'm with Stuart's insurance:) they are the broker but I'm insured with Aviva. If you are going to be in Europe for more than 30 days you have to let them know so they can give you a green card. They can offer it up to 3 months free. Trust me you need it. The police check.
Have you got European breakdown insurance if so who are you using thanks SimonC
Hey Simon! 👋 Sorry for the late reply 😅 We don't have European breakdown insurance, we are with Stuarts campervan insurances 😊 Thanks for watching! 🥰
Did they accept cards when you went, there were plenty people couldn't get food at all when we went and when we came back because the card machines were "broken". There putting a 1 year old cruise ferry on that route later this year. Already booked for next year 😁 Enjoy.
I think we remember people paying with card, we had our own food with us. Yeah the Salamanca is sailing from November i think. We are still in Bilbao might have to book next year too haha
did u guys have to get a crit air equivalent sticker for Spain? ( emissions sticker)
Hey Paul
We never did or nobody ever stopped and checked. I know when we were around Barcelona there was certain roads we didn't drive on because of Emissions
@@ShaneandAneVanLife thanks 👍👍
What was the name of the boat?
That's the old boat I think it was Galicia. The new one is the Salamanca but it's much more modern
@@ShaneandAneVanLife Galicia and Salamanca are identical ships and are new unless the old boat was called Galicia aswell
@@Davidoneill1967 sorry apologies. It was the connemara. Its gone now
@@ShaneandAneVanLife grand thanks 👍
Which boat were you on?
Connemara but that's the old one. We will be taking the new one at the end of the month :)
@@ShaneandAneVanLife please do a video, im going in March!
@@donedealuser3726 yes the video will be out the first week of Novemeber 🤗🤗
Does your add revenue not be in coins??
😂😂😂 we get paid in bitcoin 🤙
What's are those accents?
I'm monaghan (Shane) and Ane is Spanish!! So a mix of Spanish and Monaghan I guess 🤣🤣
@@ShaneandAneVanLife Thanks I couldn't place them at all!
@@themichaelnorris we get that a lot!! Nobody knows what nationality Ane is 🤣🤣
Boring, didn't show any of the boat!!!
Hey Damien we did indeed show a quick tour as the boat did not have much else to show. However that ship is not used anymore. You can see our other video of the newer ship
Have a great day 😊
