Don’t forget to subscribe for more videos about CORNWALL and Falmouth I sometimes visit St Ives Cornwall and Padstow Cornwall too. Come here for everything from travel recommendations to beach reviews such as Perranporth Beach Cornwall. I also LOVE EXPLORING Cornwall’s coast line and the South West Coastal Path. Thank you for watching and commenting and liking the video.

Did you pay about £1500 for wheels 😮😮
@@martinstone232 that's left me a bit open mouthed.
It's less stealth and the cost of a cheap van
At least good on camera...What I don't understand is , people watch this and cant be bothered to click like. I really look forward to these on Sunday. Thanks bud.
Maybe they just don’t like the videos 😂
Actually even though a very nice episode overall, your latest seconds coming home to your family really brought the greatest smile :-)
No feeling like getting home to the family
I loved on a gravel road in an area notorious for heavy rain for twelve years. I had Jeeps, Landcruisers, and a variety of vans and i found A/T tyres werent necessary for gravel roads. Also they are rubbish when you have to brake hard on a variable surface. You would be surprised by how far off road you can go with tyres like the Generals. Really its all about the looks though. 😎
Great video again. Six and a half hours from Cornwall to Reading on a bank holiday is about the norm, even on a good run Where I used to work near Redruth to my home near Gatwick was a 5 hour plus without a stop.
A cheap meal trick is to buy a sandwich meal deal in Tescos where you get a sarnie, crisps, and a drink for around £3.40 stick the sarnie in the Ridgemonkey for a few minutes and it makes even the most boring Tesco sandwich taste amazing.
Reading is my hometown ❤.
If you see hazards when people breaking then they haven't been paying due care and attention to the road, newer cars will automatically trigger the hazards when you do any hard breaking i.e. emergency stop.
Good vid ! When you do a long journey on a bank holiday it always pays to start out around 3am then you don't get the headache of the traffic ! I always start out at that time when I go to Dorset on a bank holiday 🙂
Yet another great video Shaun..you’re going places…and not just Reading! 😆 particularly loved the end bit with Kate and Charlie. Lovely family x
Thank you
TWO things Chief....Look up "Raptor Grill Transit" and the picks on a Transit, boss, also plenty of videos how to get off old one put on Raptor, best is hot water.....Secondly look up "The Last Coat CeraTrim" superb stuff it will bring up your outside trim back to brand new to match your wheels and tyres, and it LASTS....Those two things will put you into Boss mode....I missed the size of tyre you put on KO2 245/75R 16 or KO2 245/70R 16..?
Enjoyed the different vid, great tyres! Lovely to see the little'un and mum again. A great start to a Sunday, thanks!! x
Thank you
Your van is really starting to take shape and I love what you have done so far. I really enjoy watching your content. I love the mixture of types of videos. Really looking forward to seeing the build. Oh and the wheels are simply stunning.
Always put hazards on when approaching a traffic jam on the motorway! Safety first!👍
I am a coach driver and we and truck drivers put hazards on when traffic comes to a stop on a duel carriage way etc etc ! Play safe .ps nice chunky tyres i have all terrain tyres on my motorbike so I can go anywhere 😊
I almost went for Rogue alloys for my T5 but ended up with Fuel Zephyrs. Similar to yours and an absolute nightmare to clean. The tyres I chose were Maxxis Bravo 771 cos I was told the Generals and the BFG are known for bad aquaplaning......so be careful on wet roads 👍🏼
It's officially Sunday 🤙
Thanks for watching
They're beasts. Good to see you back on the road in the new van for new adventures. Next time you're going past Bristol, if you fancy a coffee let me know 👍🏻
Love the new wheels Shaun. Really look great on the van. Definitely don't miss the traffic on the motorway... 6.5hrs to Reading is taxing that's for sure. So good to see the little man too 😊
Thanks Moe
Welcome to the home counties. The park4night app is generally pretty good round these parts where I found in Cornwall they are adding parking restrictions faster than the app can keep up. One place I stayed on my recent trip to Cornwall I woke up to find fresh yellow lines painted either side of my camper!
Yea it’s a bit hit and Miss down here I tend to just park up wherever I want now 😂
Great filming Shaun good idea about the back shelf I have a suggestion do a folding shelf on the other side that would work 👍 them wheels look fantastic changed the look straight away. Glad you got back safe. See you next Sunday 👍
Good idea
Those wheels and tyres look awesome well worth the effort really transformed the van 😊ps you have a beautiful family 😊👍
Enjoyed but the highlight was your welcome you got on getting home 💜🌻🏴
Love a set of them.....but wife always gives me that look ... so will have to wait a bit longer 😂
Just get them and say noting see if she notices 😂
Charlie always steals the limelight but Dad's thumb deserves a mention too. SUCH cool wheels
Yes I do the hazzors
Haha loved that you called the dunny a dunny 🤣Cheers from Sydney Australia ! 🇦🇺
It goes back to when I was a kid my dad used to call the toilet in the camper van a dunny probably due to the amount of home and away we used to watch in the 80’s/90’s 😂 when I lived in Sydney back in 2012 I called all toilets a sunny just to fit in 😂
The wheels do look spot on mate. But Reading? That’s so far away! From London to St. Ives, I Usually stop in Bristol for lunch and spend the night there. Then the next morning continue down the A30.
Great video 🎉👍🏽 was a pleasure to meet you and congratulations on your newborn. Enjoy your new wheels and tyres. Wishing yourself and your family the best in the future 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Cheers George nice to meet you too
what a fab set of 'Boolers'! Those guys were very professional and super friendly. So, yes I also put my hazzards on in a traffic jam. Could see the anxiety in your face when you were talking about not being half an hour away from your family, I guess for the first time of doing so, you would be quite anxious. M4 is notorious for traffic. I always allow a min of 3 hours from Devon to get to Reading. Looking forward to the next vid!
Thanks Glenda
Good vlog Shaun, Thank you for taking us with you. The traffic is a sign of the times I'm afraid! But what a fantastic spot for an overnight stop perfect. You will always find things to add to your van, and your wheels are awesome. I'm looking forward to the next vlog! Rgds Alan
Thanks Alan
qhat a great vvlog.... and yes one thing that i don't miss about living in the uk is the M4 /M5 traffic.... love your Alloys, hope the baby boy loved them too.
Go for Cooper Discovery tyres.
Last for ages. Grips well and tons quieter than BFGoodrich.
Do you know what I LOVE about Sundays? ……………… Love Sundays!.
Thanks Paul
Awe! I haven’t caught your videos since your sweet boy was born. Congratulations! 💙 The new van looks nice and it’s got great new shoes on it! 😁 Now, I’m from the States. I’m absolutely floored and interested in that little boating community! People live on those full time?!? THEY ARE SOOOO CUTE! I need more info! 😆
Yes people live on them full time. They’re called narrow boats
@@LoveSundays that’s just awesome! I can’t wait to visit one day and see all the wonderful things you show us! Thank you for sharing with us all! 🙏🏻
There's lots of channels on youtube of people that live on narrow boats. Two channels i'd highly recommend are called "Cruising on the Border" and also try "Cruising the cut", although David has sold his boat now, he's got hundreds of videos to look at and he still makes videos about other narrow boaters and the canals around the uk. Thanks... Dixie in uk.
I park my T5 in that carpark when I walk the dog along the canal. Interesting vid as Rogue Alloy are very close to me.
Just got it watched 👍🏼👍🏼good video, love the wheels, if you remember I had similar on my transit, I just had the normal spare wheel powder coated satin black and had a matching tire on 👍🏼
Yea I remember they make such a difference don’t they
✊... Cool tires Shaun 👌.. Bless you for missing your family... Great to be back home I'm sure 🥰. That area looked really nice though near the canal 👍
Got their wheels on my transit, love them 😊
Great looking wheels & Charlie is so cute. A gorgeous little boy.
I live in Portsmouth Shaun.
Traffic around our way is normally like how you experienced on the motorway. Sucks.
Wheels look cool too.
Unless it's just perspective it looks as if you'd have better head space if you slept with your head the other end of the bed. Maybe they're the same but it looks higher the side your feet were.
Nice you've used the bed & the loo properly, you've done a good job on the van . It'll serve you well for years for all sorts of uses. Didn't notice if you have locking wheel nuts but if not may be a plan with nice wheels like those.
The bed is the same high ton both sides I just must’ve not had the camera level 😂
@@LoveSundays Haha, oh well!!
😁
Great video Shaun. Something a little different. We are still in the planning stages of our next van, but definitely looking at some nice black wheels with BFG tyres.
Just a thought, for now look at fitting a cycle bottle holder for your drink.
Great idea
When we drive from Stevenage to Cornwall it’s 5 - 6 hours without traffic hence we leave at 3 am Usuallly there by 9am
Excited for this one ❤
Thank you
Great video, my Sunday morning go to after I’ve made a brew. Van is really coming along well now. Have you thought about putting drop out vents in the floor for safety?
When I fit my proper kitchen the gas bottle will have a drop out vent.
I love them wheels. Definitely in now. I was thinking about raising up my t4 and getting some. My van is very slammed so they wouldn't fit at the moment
Love that you were back on the road for a bit. I hope Charlie liked the new tires.
He loves the wheels 😂
I got to gauge how big the van is by you using the side door I knew it was bigger but now realise you have plenty of room to put cupboards etc in it. My son used to be like you felt like he couldn't leave the kids now he says to the oldest nanny's for the weekend as she,s a full on 4 year old 😊
Yea it’s quite big 😂
Can’t wait to watch this later👍🏼👍🏼ain’t got time yet and don’t wanna skip through
Love the new wheels!!!
Cheers Tracy
Yes….🙌 my Van life vlogger meets my Narrow boat vlogger. 😃🙌🙌🙌❤️
Are you telling me the lady I spoke to was a vlogger? She never mentioned it
@@LoveSundays Sorry I worded that incorrectly, I meant to say my van lifers me my narrow boaters ( not necessarily vloggers. 😃
* meet.
Park 4 night app is awesome!
Transformed the van tbf, looks great
Thanks Pete
If I knew you were stopping at Chievley services you could have slept at our house in Newbury. Would have cost you a Love Sundays sticker 😊
Love the wheels mate! 👍🏻👍🏻💪
Thanks Paul
Loved this week's vid Shaun! In part because I've stayed in that very spot by the canal too!! So many good memories paddling that stretch of canal!!
And seeing you come home to your family bright a massive smile too!!!
Lovely spot isn’t it Alex
Steel wheels are better for off road and durabillity. Bend before they crack.
Nice!! good choice mate look popping
Thanks John
They look mint mate!!
Thanks Mike
Totally get where you're coming from, it's quite a pull when you are away from family, I did 4 day's in peak district last September after only vanning in Devon and Cornwall, feels safer and more familiar in our own county's, good stuff and wheels look great
Always feels good to get home doesn’t it
Those wheels are stunning mate really coming together make sure you get some good locking nuts on them mate as there eye catches 😉 catch you next Sunday 👍🏻
What a difference the new wheels and tyres have made! Bfg are awesome tyres….last forever!
Cheers Chris
Now your van looks like a Cornish beast with those wheels 😉 great video once again and fantastic camera skills 🔥
Nice vid, nice wheels!
wheels look great
Nice scenery you guys have you are lucky to have the canals, we only have mountains and fjords. Van looks great but i see you have not made a kitchen area, maybe one day you do so you don't have to sit on the floor.. 🙃
Yea the van isn’t finished yet. It’s mid convention which I am making videos about also
Weird seeing you in my neck of the woods. I live just outside Swindon but Newbury used to be where we went for a night out back in the 80’s. Plus I was born in Reading. The Kennet & Avon canal. Spent a fair amount of time on that.
It is a lovely area
Awesome. I was hoping you didn't just spray your old wheels black. Looks sooo much better mate. You might need a taller ladder now😂😂, atb Dixie 👍
Love the new wheels, very sporty. 🙂
Great video…..class alloys & wheels……van is starting to take shape. Looking forward to next weeks video 👍👍
Thanks Benny
They look good shaun very nice.
Cheers Jon
They look very smart 😉👍🏴
Cheers Phil
I have at,s on my pick up. Great off road but very noisy
I can honestly say after 4 years of BFG K02's on my 5.4m Ducato, the road noise is negligible. Miles per gallon loss, that's a different story, at least 4 miles per gallon less... easily. The look and performance is well worth it though. The last 4 winters passing through the pyrenees, these tyres have saved me using snow chains.
Good to know
Question. Who was outside in the rain videoing when you were relieving yourself. How much were the tyres and wheels you didn’t say, what was the road noise like on your return journey.
Off grid van Macdonald's for tea could be a bit more bear grills and cook a dead pigeon 😂
Nice - great wheels make the biggest difference 👍
Thank you
That canal looks like where the Travel Beans stayed for 3-4 days going up and down it with their new baby.
Top bombing mate , love the wheels 🛞
Cheers
Looks so much better 👌 Good choice!
Thank you
Great looking wheels great choice 👍
Cheers
Wetherspoons mate. They have around a thousand pubs in UK serving decent food. I recommend the app, never far from a spoons !
Burger King ? Not much change from a twenty..
Good point
Proper Cornish gettin bleedy jitters about being north of Plymuff!
Looking great! Now you are REALLY pimping your ride 🎉😊
Thanks Torunn
Thats my life when I'm doing my Belgium runs... traffic traffic traffic
oh and food wrapped in plastic from service stations
if you plan on boarding the back doors, why not integrate cup holders in to the door. so when you open the doors you have somewhere to put a cup as well as when you are in bed...
Good idea
Charlie is getting big! 😊
Wow what a difference the new wheels make good choice
Thanks Peter
Great video and wheels look awesome. And your little boy is gorgeous ❤ x x
Thanks for another great video. Have a great week.
You too Angela
Great to see you out and about! - how is life as a Dad? how's baby and Mother doing? another great vid. Thanks!
Being a dad is the best thing I’ve ever done. Both Charlie and mum are very well
Glad to see you bk Shaun 😅🤣
Thanks Dave
Looking very good Shaun with those wheels & rugged tyres. I was looking for our car on the A30 & the M5 as we were down in Cornwall last week as you know. Can't believe your son is 11 weeks old already, where did that time go mate.
I know time flies doesn’t it
Nice one Shaun, I enjoyed that. Those tyres look great
As someone who lives across the bridge from Bristol though I wasn’t too surprised with the traffic on the M4 mind 😂
I think I probably should’ve gone the other way past stone henge
Very nice wheels, you could have parked at mine just a couple of miles away
Maybe next time
Great video! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks Emma
Nice choice of wheel's my Shaun,
Thanks
That's a serious set of shoes!
Thanks Matt
Might pay them a visit , only 20 minutes away from me .👌. Wheels and tyres look awesome. Did you notice much noise on your drive home . I’m thinking of getting the Generals
To be fair I didn’t notice any increase in noise but my roof rack is a little noisy anyway so that probably drowned it out
I've got the Generals on my old Landie. They are the least of the noises on it 😂
😂
To be fair the BFG’s were not as noisy as my roof rack on the motorway 😂
Mmm. Nice wheels.
Thanks Dave
