As someone trying to work out exactly how small I can go when getting a car or van for overnights with my dog this has been the most helpful video out of the hundreds I’ve watched so a huge thank you 🤩
Glad I could be of assistance! Thank you!
Oh good I have a look for it
Oslo made some very good points.
You guys in the TicTac killed me!!!
You need to join us next time!
I actually burst out laughing when you opened the toasty and what you said Brilliant vid as always 😀
I was beyond confused when the bread was gone 😂
Brown sauce with pepperoni?? When you think you know someone... 😂 Great video mate 👍
Brown sauce works with everything except whipped cream! Haha thanks mate
@@Adzbrown sauce and whipped cream would deffo look like it came out a dog 🐕 😂
@@naheemrazaq8876 😂😂😂
That's the funniest episode ever! 😂😂😂
Glad you think so!!!
Adz that’s the best laugh iv had in a while, Love it. Maxx
Glad you enjoyed it!
I particularly liked the colour coordination of the sweater and the mini.
I’m colour blind so it was a happy accident haha
@@Adz yikes oh yeah forgot. No offence meant.
Question ? Does the same right colour show as the same wrong colour ? Or would you know ? 😂
So funny, you always make me laugh, which is welcome as I'm sad as I've used all my Schengen days so stuck in rainy Britain for now. Can't wait for your Italian trip as I was there for 6 weeks myself recently . Didn't love the manic drivers or the potholed roads, but the scenery, culture, food and drink are amazing! Have a great time!
Ah that’s never good! All these rules are so annoying! Thank you!
New subscriber here. Your video just popped up in my feed and I'm so glad it did. Hilarious watching the three of you in the tictac and the toastie. Great stuff
Top man!! Class entertainment. Think once you’ve got your head around the way to do things you will be fine in there, looking forward to the next!!
Yeah I have a feeling the next camp should go fairly smoothly!
Really enjoy your videos Adz!
Only subscribed recently and have been binge watching your content ever since.
Great to finally see the Tic Tac on her maiden voyage haha!!
Keep up the good work fella 👍
Thanks mate, it’s much appreciated! Glad you like it!
Maybe a bit extrmee of a suggestion, but you could consider cutting a sunroof into the Tick Tack to use for easy ventilation access when youre cooking (smells) or locked in for the night. And some smaller things like some strap on the inside of door to pull shut easier. Would love to see a video of any changes youve considered after experiencing the first full night in there
Yeah I have plans for the roof! Won’t be just yet but she’ll definitely receive some upgrades fairly soon!
Mate your videos are always brilliant!! They proper make me laugh out loud
Glad to hear it mate. Thank you!
Absolutely hilarious Adz. Love the Bee duvet 🥰
Thank you!
Adz? You have had me in stitches with this vlog, Loved it mate.🤣🤣🤣
Haha glad to hear it!
interesting nights camp! I'm 5ft 1" and I really don't think I could do a night in the tic tac. On a side note my dog has a blue dinosaur, it's his favourite toy! Look forward to the next claustrophobic camp🤣🤣
The length is fine it’s just the width (and head room 😂). The bed is actually 190cm like a regular bed.
The blue dinosaurs must be popular in the dog community! Haha thanks!
@@Adz I'd still struggle and probably fall out of bed , then it will all end in tears
Hey you still in Switzerland? If you're near Zurich, take the Rigi train up the mountain, it's beautiful
One word Adz, Legend!
We've done the same thing in a 2008 Nissan Note. It's a tight squeeze for 2 but it does work - Just! Been on 2 trips away, 3 nights in total so far :)
Can't wait for the party in yours 🍻🥳🍻
Not long now! 😂
What a cute little camper. Looks like fun!
Yeah it definitely was! Thanks!
Adz You Crack Me Up Lol 😂😂😂 i Love Your Sence Of Humor your Awesome mate, you got Yourself A New. ML&R From Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
Comedy gold!
Aah the maiden voyage!
She has set sail!
Absolute nutter. Awesome work haha
Tic tac 1st 🎉
Wow... just as i was about to purchase something off ecoflow..u give me a discount. Thanks Adz
Glad I could help!
Floof 🤣🤣🤣 regular beef.
Youre hilarious.
Haha I was not happy about the lack of floof!
7:19 I’ve just died laughing 😂😂
Haha I still can’t believe I did that!
Hilarious watching you trying to get into bed! Great conversion, looks like a Tardis.
It was a worthy struggle 😂
Just a thought, you should butter your bread then put it in the toaster butter side out, so, the filling is on the dry side, the buttered side directly against the toaster. This way it h browns nicely/quickly less chance of cheese running everywhere too 😁
I usually do with toasties but for some reason in this pan it works better without (apart from if I add too much cheese and time it wrong) 😂
👍
Every day's a school day eh??
Quality as always thank you Adz
Thanks Paul!
Most awesome dude 🎉
Thank you mate!
What can I say except 'hilarious mate' 🤣🤣
Great stuff ,looking forward to your Italian adventure, im half Italian, got da family out there.Can help with some basic Italian if and when you need it.
Thank mate!
Great video ,many thanks
Thank you!
nice brother been waiting for this one,a will have a look out for the tictacs windscreen 😂
Ah this was filmed a few weeks ago. I’ll get the windscreen sorted later this month I expect!
Nice job Adz, like the induction squish grill, might have to get one of those.
Thanks mate. Yeah I definitely recommend them!
I think you're meant to put butter on the outside of the bread where it touches the toasty device. Makes it crispy. But that might be bollocks. You can also put beans in the bread and it heats them up, to make "beans in toast". Also potentially bollocks.
Yeah that’s correct. I usually do but in this pan it seems to work fine without. (Unless you burn it 😂). As it happens I bought a baked bean toastie from Costa yesterday!
@@Adz Good evening chap. Just finished your video when ol' Claudia was calling the shots and directed you through the New Forest and on to Sandbanks for a sunset ponder. You could settle there if you've got a spare 10 million for one of those houses on the peninsula that have water front and back.
Excellent video. AI is scary but it's good at throwing out arbitrary commands to give you a nice day out. So it's useful for something, just until it decides the best way to avoid war and have a peaceful world is to destroy all humans.
Seriously though, great vid and solid van. I've seen some people on yt get a bit lonely doing van life but I think your attitude is right for it. Keep trying new things like you have been and like you said, some sort of floating water vessel next, to have a change ⛵ 👍🏼
Those house there were amazing but for that price I could think of better spots! Outside of the UK for starters 😂
I imagine one day there’ll be different versions of AI fighting each other!
Thanks for watching mate!
Thanks for this Adz, the tic tac looks mad but i have to say the pidgeon still wins for me. As ever hello from Kilkenny, R.O.I 🇮🇪
Yeah I mean the pigeon was months of work compared to a couple of weeks on this. So I agree! This is just a fun project really!
And Leitrim
And waterford
One of your funniest! Love it 😊😊
Thank you! It was fun to film this one haha
I'm totally in love with Lauren ❤
I shall let her know! Haha. They will have a channel very soon! Maybe even tonight is their 1st vid. I think the channel is just called Harry and Lauren
🥰❤️
I've got the 15l version of that alpicool fridge. You don't have to worry about turning it off, compared to an induction hob it barely sips electricity.
Yeah I had a bigger one in my 1st van. They’re great!
Quality vid Adz tic tac is cool as, have you thought about wind deflectors for a bit of ventilation?
Thanks! I did want some but they wouldn’t work as there’s no door frame around the windows unfortunately!
Just found your channel. You are so funny and entertaining 😂😂
Glad you think so! Thanks!
I would die i love space so when we going to the arctic in winter i got my duvets and everything ready passport also 😂i am waiting
Quite surprised you didnt go with a Mini countryman, its the closest you will get to the old mini traveller which was an estate car. Cuntryman has a longer rear end and its a square back rather than the normal round back end of most Mini's. Would seem like the ideal vehicle to turn into a tiny camper
I have a big van for my camper. This was just for fun so being tiny was the point mate
Brilliant debut for the Tic tac mate. The jelly bean seems so long ago now…
Also, tell Harry he’s a lucky guy…
Thank you mate! And will do haha
Another brilliant video 🎉
Thank you!
Good work, Adz... 🙂👍🏻
Thanks mate!
Great video once again mate 👍
Thanks mate!
Thank you again for letting Bluey, Paca & Tream stay over 🙏🏼
That’s fine. I did it for my friend Oslo 😍
16:39 what the hell is that? lol 😂 but wait what the hell is that under your phone? 17:35
It’s a bee from my bee duvet 😂
You should have built a 2004 Hyundai Coupe 2l I went homeless in one for over a year. Best place I’ve ever lived honestly
I actually really like those cars!
@@Adz had one as my first car and would love you own another one!
Quality
Very Funny man 🤣
Try sleeping in a proper Mini down the park like I did, only to get a tap tap on the window at 5am by PC Plod: "Just checking you were alive, Sir"!
It's the summer, the cow malt, go back in the winter they're well fluffy.
I may have to!
A great park up to test the the tic-tac, I might give the place a go on my travels, I bet you appreciate the Rabbit more now. 😜
Yeah it was a good spot! The rabbit??
@@Adz WTF! I meant Pigeon lol. Don't ever get old!
It’s a @BrendanExplores driving stance!!!😂😂😂
The arm on the fridge you mean? Haha
So… do you fold up the mattress to use that bathroom?
This is awesome by the way.
If we go by how tents are categorized you could probably get away with describing the mini as 6 berth! Hilarious and quality content as always
Haha that’s true! Maybe I could even fit 6 if I had bunk beds 🤔
Love it mate!!! my caddy seems like a mansion after watching this 😂
Haha yeah that’s true. I should’ve started with this then my caddy would’ve seemed like the biggest upgrade 😂
The bed arm rest is the future 👍🏼
Haha yeah that’s definitely a happy accident of the build 😂
Should be named The Tardis
I was thinking that haha
I think we need to see a “stealth camp”..when it’s raining 😂
and…Speaking of headroom..maybe the 1st mini pop top micro camper???..tictacs do have a pop up lid after all!
I’ve actually done that same exact thing with my ridge!lol who are your friends btw mate?, do they have a channel? 👍🏼
I was genuinely thinking of a pop top haha. Or something along those lines! They literally set up a channel yesterday it’s called Harry and Lauren
Love the mini camper just binge watched all your videos are you going to be making any new videos with becky you two were awesome together so funny 😁
Thanks! And it’s always a possibility!
Where you stayed, it’s not a field. It’s called a common 😂😂😂 ❤
What about a common field?? 😂
@@Adz ha ha very funny smart ass x
Adz you need to butter the outsides of the bread, I always do that with my toasties! Love your vids big man! Get yourself up to Skye at some point and say hello!👍
I was waiting for this comment haha. I did in my last vid but since then I’ve been experimenting and with these pans it actually comes out better without! (Unless you leave it on too long like I did 😂) Thanks mate! Definitely going up there at some point
Nice one Papa Shango👍
What happens to your bed when the passenger side air bag goes off.
Assuming there’s room in a Mini for a passenger and a passenger side air bag 🤪
It’s switched off so it shouldn’t go off. But yeah there are airbags
3 Berth 😂😂😂
I want to push for 4 😂
Nice one mate the other item that looks like a alternator charger! is the powerstream I have two of them, we are defo thinking on getting the alternator charger! for our sprinter van
Ah yeah that’s the one. I was never sure what they’re for!
@@Adz They feed power to your home with solar one of them I use the Delta 2 EB & the other one just Solar great bit of kit
If you rub 2 pieces of burnt toast against each other you will get 2 pieces of non burnt toast. Thank me later
Clubman is the answer!
Far too big I think!
Still proud of you buddy 😂😂😂
😂😂😂 thanks mate
Who were your friends ? Have they an insta or channel ?
They’ve just set one up. It’s called Harry and Lauren
Great to see how you used the tiny space (3 people 😂). We already have the induction hob, but not the induction toasty maker! Where's good to get one?
Haha thanks! If you watch my recent van video (with a parachute on the thumbnail) there’s a link
In the description. It says on the advert it’s not for induction but that’s incorrect info as it’s made of stainless steel so works perfectly!
Blaming the dog😂
I couldn’t see any other option at the time 😂😂
Six female sardines and a couple of tennis balls 😂
That’s what it said on my ruler 😂😂
Hahahaha such a brilliant video - we laughed the whole way through 😂
I definitely think we can get 4 in there 😜
I’m all up for trying! Thanks guys… was good to have you there for the maiden voyage!
Anyone else disappointed he didn’t fit a jacuzzi in the engine bay???
Hope you can consider it in upgrade?
Great video pal
It’s on my list of things to consider! 😂
@@Adz 😂😂😂 that would defo be the ONE 😂😂
'I felt a bit like a toastie that wasn't going to plan' 😅 Adz I really didn't think the tic tac was the one, but it was worth it for this video alone. Absolutely hilarious 😂 Your confusion with the toastie and looking suspiciously at the dog 🙈 And the 'Oooh' when one of his toys squeaked. Just brilliant. 👍
In a way I wish I hadn’t forgotten the extra piece of bread and that it remained a mystery 😂😂 glad you enjoyed it!
@@Adz It was the way you were looking around all confused 🤣 Could tell you were desperately trying to make sense of it 🙈
Might want to google “fluffers” 😂
I’ll do it on incognito just incase 😂
I think a sun roof might be a good addition ……
I think a full on skylight is on the cards 😂
Haha 😂this was a laugh mate, especially the part where you forgot to put the bread on top of your toastie 🤣would that ecoflow charger work to charge other brand power stations too do you know? Or is it only compatible with the ecoflow ones themselves?
I was so confused!! Haha. At the moment it will only work with some of the ecoflows. But I think they’re making a new cable that will hopefully work with any xt60 port (which most power stations have). Personally I think the delta 2 and alternator charger is a great combo for a car or small van though!
@@Adz I bet you were if you thought you'd put two rounds of bread in there 🤣 ah ok thats great info cheers! It does look a good combo tbf but I've already got a different make power station so would be looking to use it with that if possible! 🙂 Is the mini getting used again in the future btw or was it just more of a one off thing to try out?
@@mark_your_adventures90 ah ok. Hopefully they bring out a lead to make it compatible! And yeah I’ll definitely be using it more. Hopefully in central London at some point
@@Adz hopefully so mate yeah! I just can't be affording to buy another power station after forking out on the one I already have 🤣 Sounds great! Oh yeah it should be good for some city stealth camping in tight spaces 👌
Great video mate 😂😂
Thanks mate!
"Six female sardines!"
It was an estimation but I’m confident that’s accurate! 😂
The best laugh we had in ages can we ask were did you buy the cheese from another seen that before
Glad to hear it! Hmm I think it was Tesco but I can’t actually remember for definite unfortunately! It was really good though so I need to find it again!
looks like Minch common??
No idea what it was called mate. Just followed the sat nav
Loving the vids as always, How difficult was the alternator charger to fit, looking at getting one for my van?
Thanks! If you can find a way through the fire wall then it’s simple
Adz top video as always, does Lorren / Oslo etc have their own channel as they seem as mad as you 😂
Thanks! They’ve only just made one. It’s called Harry and Lauren
Did you give us an update on that driving whilst using your phone fiasco Adz?
Court keeps getting postponed mate
Tictac looks epic, how do you go about booking the barn tried emailing Ade just over a week ago but no replies from him
Thanks mate! And not too sure other than emailing him. I’ll be back there at some point in the next few weeks so will ask him
@@Adzcheers mate will be great, love the vids pigeon looks sound hopefully my girl gets somewhere close to that
Can you please say how you insure your vehicles and any advice on companies
Cheers
David
For campers or even campers in conversion I highly recommend Howdens that ham branch 01635 879915. I spoke to them and said I wanted to recommend them to people and they said my subscribers can also get 10% off! (Just tell them you heard of them through my channel) other than that just make sure you avoid Adrian flux or just kampers (same company) they sometimes have cheap prices but there’s a facebook group of thousands of people who they have scammed when it comes to paying out
Sun roof
When you’re not using AC on the ecoflow do you turn off the AC inverter via the app? Will save you some juice as the AC inverter uses a bit just being on.
Yeah I never keep inverters on even if they have a hunt mode
How long is the bed? Can a 180 cm person sleep on it?
I can’t remember. Think I said in a video somewhere. Pretty sure it’s a 190cm mattress though. I’m 5ft 11
You're hilarious
Glad you think so! Haha
Hello, I'm just wondering if the alternator charger would fit other power banks🤔. I've got an Allpowers S2000...
It only fits some of the ecoflows at the moment but I think they may end up making an xt60 cable too
well done bro,could you not lay the other way with pillow at boot end?
It’s so thin that end mate. Better to have it wider at the head end I think
@@Adz probably right lol
Hi how are you doing
Good thanks, you?
