Glad you are on the mend, ‘the virus’ is no joke. Norway and Sweden are beautiful in the winter, but it’s very nice to see all the green and another side to your lovely part of the world.
Norway is a beautiful country terrible that man dumped his rubbish makes me so cross when people do that . Love all your videos and do hope your ear is now better .
In my unasked opinion lol I think you look so much better in shorter hair, so clean cut looking & it makes you look younger too and rested! I'm glad you are recovering from that nasty virus and you continue to gain your strength back. Beautiful scenery - Thank you!
On Glow Plugs issue (just in case it helps.. sorry, long comment): If the glow plug error light is showing in your van but the shop confirmed that the glow plugs themselves are functioning correctly, there are several other components or issues that could be causing this light to illuminate or flash: 1. **Glow Plug Relay or Timer Issue:** - The relay or timer which controls the glow plugs might be faulty. This component is responsible for turning the glow plug system on and off at the appropriate times. If it malfunctions, it might not properly manage the glow plug operation, leading to the warning light activation. 2. **Wiring Problems:** - Electrical wiring connected to the glow plugs could have issues like corrosion, loose connections, or breaks. Faulty wiring can lead to incorrect signals being sent to the engine control unit (ECU), which might interpret this as a glow plug problem. 3. **Glow Plug Control Module:** - Some vehicles have a glow plug control module that manages the glow plug system. If this module is malfunctioning, it could cause the light to come on even when the glow plugs are operational. 4. **ECU or Sensor Malfunction:** - The ECU might be receiving or interpreting data incorrectly due to a sensor malfunction or software glitch within the system. This could result from: - A faulty crankshaft position sensor or camshaft position sensor, which might send incorrect timing information. - An issue with the intake air temperature sensor, which influences when the glow plugs are activated. 5. **Temperature Sensor Fault:** - If the temperature sensor, particularly the coolant temperature sensor, is not functioning correctly, the ECU might continue to think the engine is cold, thus keeping the glow plug light illuminated longer than necessary. 6. **Software Issue or ECM (Engine Control Module) Update Needed:** - Sometimes, software issues or an outdated ECM firmware might incorrectly trigger the glow plug light. An update or diagnostic reprogramming might be necessary. 7. **Other Engine Management Faults:** - Problems with fuel injection timing, air intake, or other engine components affecting the combustion process could indirectly cause the glow plug light to come on. This might be more evident if there are symptoms like black smoke from the exhaust or poor starting. 8. **Ground Connection Issues:** - Poor ground connections can lead to various electrical system errors, including those affecting the glow plug circuit. 9. **False Positives or Intermittent Issues:** - Sometimes, the light might come on due to intermittent faults or false positives where the system momentarily detects a problem that isn't consistently present. Given these possibilities, here's what you might consider doing next: - **Re-diagnosis:** Have the shop check for any of the above issues. They should use a diagnostic tool to scan for trouble codes that might give more insight into what's triggering the light. - **Visual Inspection:** A thorough visual check of the wiring harness, connections, and related components for signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. - **Function Test:** Test the functionality of the relay, timer, or control module if your van uses these. - **Sensor Checks:** Ensure all relevant sensors are working correctly and consider recalibrating or replacing them if needed. - **Software Check:** Ask if there are any software updates available for the vehicle's ECM or if there's a known issue with your model's glow plug system that might be resolved through a software patch. If the problem persists after checking these areas, it might be beneficial to seek a second opinion from another mechanic or dealership, especially if your van is under warranty or if there are recalls or technical service bulletins related to this issue.
Thanks for this insightful post, highly appreciated! We changed the glow plugs last week and now everything seems to be working as it should again, I have not been getting any errors for the past week.
As someone who finds herself highly susceptible to “the virus” I feel for you. My husband is a teacher and I work from home, meaning he works in a germ factory and I have a reduced immune system because I have been at home for over 12 years. I’ve had it now five times and each time I severely lose my voice which affects my ability to do my job. All I can suggest is get as much sleep, fresh air, and liquids as possible. Feel better!!!!
Oh yes, it lingers. My suggestion is to keep track of symptoms that linger and what triggers them to be worse. For me it’s been voice issues. Visits to primary doc, the ear nose and throat specialist, and speech therapy have been a must for me. The hope is to prevent the need for surgery on the vocal nodes I now have.
Thank you for the beautiful and real videos. The only thing that really bothers us is the dystopian background music. But that's what the volume control is for. 😊 Best regards Simon
Two things amaze me from your winter in Northern Norway. The first is does your van have four-wheel drive? I'm absolutely amazed by your ability to drive on icy roads in a van. The second question is I'm amazed by the amount of infrastructure Norway has built this far north including the railroad.
Dear Jarl, I wish you a further recovering, until you are healthy for continuing your adventures ! I remark you didn't loose your appetite ! It was good to see again green trees, green mountains, after all that snow ! And this under a beautiful white-clouded blue sky !The road to Jotunheimen is awesome, what a beautiful region ! Congratulations to your sister for the artistic window-cover, really gorgeous ! Did she create herself those beautiful volute-and flowerdesign ? Magnificent ! - Thanks for the road-trip, and take care of yourself, my friend. 💚
Hi I'm kind of new here I've been watching your videos tho in that snow storm and the hurricane I find your videos very interesting I'm from Nova Scotia Canada 🇨🇦 so I hope you take care and be safe wherever you go I'm also glad your all better
Stunning photography! Is that snow on some of those hills? Those roads are so isolated. What happens if you were to, god forbid, break down. Who rescues you? Safe travels and stay well.
Prayers to your health getting stronger! I enjoy your narratives as much as the scenery!!! Sorry not a mechanic, so I have nothing to offer as a point of failure.
I’ve had that virus for a week can’t stop coughing .. sad your glow plug situ returned , I’ve fitted a Webasto pre heater to mine ready for next winter up there hopefully it will save a bit of stress on the engine and glow plugs etc , we will see , and I picked up a big bag of rubbish someone left , there’s just no need to leave rubbish about , gives people in vans a bad name and they should know it , thanks for sharing anyway 👍🏻
Beautiful again Jarl, thank you. My wife has to have a series of electronic zappers around the house in order to combat midges because she reacts very badly to them. In her case it can lead to sepsis. So I feel for you trying to keep them out of the van. The aerial midnight sun shots were simply amazing. Ian, Birmingham, UK
Thanks Ian, I have tried some small zappers here, they are not very effective in my case, maybe it is because of the van, but the mr mosquito and thermacells are wonderful though
I'm so sorry you were sick! Glad you're better and back on the road! I was wondering why you don't have a fan or A/C in the back of the van so you can be cool?
Please take care of yourself. You will feel tired for a while but each day gets a little better. Praying for you. We love you sharing the road trip with us.
Oh I really loved this video! Such lovely pastoral villages and farmland and the mountain majesty too. Some new music? Anyway I’m so very glad you’re almost better and pray your hearing returns completely. Not sure when you’re traveling to the states but get clearance from your doctor before you get into the pressurized cabin of a plane. All the best, Jarl. Thank you for sharing van life with us.🚐❤️
Beautiful landscapes and great video as usual, glad you are feeling better! PS you look a bit like you are hunting down Sarah Connor in those sun glasses 😜
So glad your'e feeling better. I was hoping you had maybe stayed close to family while feeling so miserable. Glad your back at it. Love the scenary in this video!
23:23. Hoping you are feeling better, there are so many viruses about now since Covid . Thanks for such wonderful filming we enjoy everyone you produce. I just can't understand how it is so warm where you are compared to the UK. I have noted the temperatures well in the 80's with you where we are lucky if we get the odd hot day. We visted Norway last year by P&O cruise and fell in love with it. August 2025 we go again to the Lofoten Islands and thank you so much for the coverage you gave on those beautiful islands. Just a couple of questions:- how do you fly the drone and drive at the same time? Also where did you buy the lovely camping kettle? Take care and as always many thanks. Paul
Please take care of yourself. You will feel tired for a while but each day gets a little better. Praying for you. We love you sharing the road trip with us. Ps. We love the pillows!!
Just started watching I hope the sickness was not too bad! No one likes to be sick! I got corona right at the beginning. Yes it sucked! Mine took 4 weeks. I got one symptom then the next week got another symptom and so on. It could have been worse, I could be pushing up daisies! Look forward to the Brain fog…… I hope you do not get it! I guess one more thing. On the ear infection, try using hydrogen peroxide once and awhile. Should help keep it in check.
Hola cómo anda que fuerte esa lluvia y ese. Arco iris hermosoy. Los lugares divinos x suerte podemos verlos gracias a UD acá en Uruguay es invierno y ya hace 1gradoo y el aire helado si estuviera ahí me congelo mi me levanto de la cama bueno cuidese hermosos días x ahí E ve gracias chauu abrazo😊
So happy to see you pottering around in your camper again! You still see a little pips every now and then. You really have to take that nasty virus seriously, it can make you very ill. Thanks for your video, it showed an area where we haven't been yet in Norway, very beautiful. Combined with your wonderful music it gives me a happy feeling. We also criticized the behavior of some 'campers'. They are simply committing an environmental crime. We also saw many Germans and Dutch people on the road. Some with huge campers of 10+ meters. You can't call that camping anymore. Fortunately, there is now 1 less Dutch couple on the road, because we returned home last night. We couldn't find peace on the Lofoten, but luckily we did in Northern Norway and Sweden. Your gift will have to wait a little longer, it is still in our camper! We wish you lots of fun and health with your Artic Summer Tour and maybe we can meet up next year, we would really like that! 
Yeah, Lofoten has become a shitshow, sadly we Norwegian do not know when enough is enough, we get blinded by foreign attention, they are still marketing the hell out of Lofoten, and adding China as a target, what could possibly go wrong. I hope to see you next summer indeed!
Hi!! I am glad you feel better. I want to tell you that when i see your wonderful videos i feel like i am flaying in the sky. Take care and keep enjoying those beautiful Places.
Keep on truckin’ Norwegian Explorer. You appear to be healing well. Very much enjoy your postings. Warm greetings (literally) from the US Southwest. Monsoon season here, very tropical.
Lovely to see you back on the road sharing those amazing views. Hopefully being back outside and in nature will help you get your energy back. Take care out there.
Hello Arctic Jarl :-) Scandinavian weather is capricious :-) I think the road at the foot of the mountains, strewn with stones, was brought by an ancient glacier... What kind of Scandinavian wooden temple did you come across on the way?
Wow, this adventure is absolutely intense! Surviving painful viruses, heavy rain, and storms while riding to the Arctic in a cozy van - it’s like a real-life thriller. 🌧️❄️ The resilience and determination of the Norwegian Xplorer are truly inspiring. Can’t wait to see more of their van life escapades! 🚐🌟
Thank you for sharing your summer tour, it makes a bleak cold winters day feel warm and sunny. So glad you are on the mend now! Cannot wait for your next instalment :)
The travel industry in Norway should compensate you for the wonderful job you do promoting the beauty of Norway... I don't think we've hit 80 degrees yet here in Washington state and it is June 29th. It is raining right now. It's definitely different seeing all the green watching your travels after all that snow. What a beautiful country Norway is. Glad you are over covid, stay safe.
Hope you are the mend soon for a full recovery. All of us here in the states send you our well wishes. Your channel is marvelous, you put so much time and effort into your productions. Danke sehr.
Your sister is very talented. Beautiful window cover. Sorry you were sick. Glad you are feeling better. 3 years ago almost everyone in my town was sick with IT. looking forward to more wonderful scenery from my ancestral country. Great videos.

Thank you so much Patrick, really appreciate it!
Very beautiful. Who knew you liked the SUN
Lol!! i liked it better before, now enjoy all kinds of weather
Getting sick is lousy at any time, but especially when you're on your own with no one to look after you. So glad you're doing better.
Thank you! I was with family for the worst part of it.
Glad that you are feeling better and are trying to get on with your summer.Thanks!
Thank you my friend, still not 100% but getting better every day, the ear infection was the worst
Hope you feeling better soon
Thanks!
Love watching your videos!!
Thank you so much!!
Glad you are on the mend, ‘the virus’ is no joke. Norway and Sweden are beautiful in the winter, but it’s very nice to see all the green and another side to your lovely part of the world.
Thanks! It is so very different indeed
Nice to see the countryside in green 👍🏴
Indeed!
Norway is a beautiful country terrible that man dumped his rubbish makes me so cross when people do that . Love all your videos and do hope your ear is now better .
Yes, it is a shame! Thanks!
In my unasked opinion lol I think you look so much better in shorter hair, so clean cut looking & it makes you look younger too and rested! I'm glad you are recovering from that nasty virus and you continue to gain your strength back. Beautiful scenery - Thank you!
Thanks for sharing!!
I'm glad you're better.
Thanks!
Glad you’re feeling better. I love that you show us all this beautiful scenery.
Thanks!
So sorry you were ill and very glad you are well now.... I like the sun but am so drawn to the rain the wind and the snow, your van is so cosy ❤
Thank you!
So many of these scenes remind me of Scotland but n a smaller scale 😊

Astoundingly beautiful countryside

Thank you so much my friend!
Get well soon & stay safe🙏🙏🙏
Thanks!
Hope you feel better soon my friend,drink lots of fluids and take vitamins C and D.
Thanks!
Get Well Soon 🙏
Thank you!
Outstanding video and some great drone shots. Well done.
Thanks!!
Oh & I always LOVE the beautiful & evocative sounding, dreamy music.
Thanks! Appreciate it!
In case you didn't know (maybe you do but I didn't) he makes it himself. The dude's a musician too!
@@simongregory3114 Thanks🙂
hope yr feeling better my friend 😆
Thank you yes I am healing!
Thanks for sharing that amazing view s
My pleasure!
Get well soon 🙏
Thank you!
On the road again. Have a great summer, Jar!
Thanks, you too Lona!
Dear Jarl, please get some rest . Wishing you a healthy recovery from Boston ❤.
Thank you!
Glad I found your channel this is proper content!
I am so glad you think so Al!
Thank you for the beautiful and real videos. The only thing that really bothers us is the dystopian background music. But that's what the volume control is for. 😊
Best regards Simon
Thank you so much! I make the music myself, it is part of the package
It’s just a wonderful country 😊
Yes!
Two things amaze me from your winter in Northern Norway. The first is does your van have four-wheel drive? I'm absolutely amazed by your ability to drive on icy roads in a van.
The second question is I'm amazed by the amount of infrastructure Norway has built this far north including the railroad.
A lot of sensible infrastructure up north yes, my van is FWD, but good winter tires is key to driving safely in winter conditions.
I wish you the best of luck and take it easy, your body still needs to strengthen
Thanks!
Veldig fin video. Flotte naturscener og bra musikk. Blir litt sånn "meditativ" av den : )
Takk for det:-)
Beautiful! The green hills and lakes look exactly like Connecticut and Vermont here in the US.
Awesome, thank you!
Maravilloso el vídeo y los paisajes. Un espectáculo. Gracias desde Canarias.
Muchos gracias!
Oh no. Feel better soon 🎉
Thanks!
So glad your feeling better ❤👍✨️🌼
Love your travels ❤️ 🎉
Thank you for following along!

Though you were ill, you had the courage and goodwill to present us every week new videos and to answer our comments, thanks for that, Jarl !! 💜
Thanks for noticing:-)
You're welcome !
So thankful you’re feeling much better! 🙏🏽 Safe and healthy travels! 😊 🚐 🌎
Thanks!
Hi I'm kind of new here I've been watching your videos tho in that snow storm and the hurricane I find your videos very interesting I'm from Nova Scotia Canada 🇨🇦 so I hope you take care and be safe wherever you go I'm also glad your all better
Thank you and welcome!
Hope you feel better soon ❤
Thank you, I am on the mend!
Bummer you were sick but glad you are feeling better now. Beautiful video 😊
Thanks Andrea!
Great sound track too.
Thank you s much!
Nydelig film og fantastisk natur. Du har det så koselig i vanen din👍😍
😊
Absolutely stunning scenery. Glad that you are feeling better now. The Arctic air will do you good 😊
Yes! Thank you!
You take care of yourself my friend. You are still a little dark under the eyes. Stay well. Sandra UK
Thanks!
May need to post him some concealer 😂😂
Great video again. Looking forward to many more of these over the coming weeks.
Glad you like them!
Stunning photography! Is that snow on some of those hills? Those roads are so isolated. What happens if you were to, god forbid, break down. Who rescues you? Safe travels and stay well.
We have good cell service most places here, and yes that is snow
Hope your over that virus,and feeling better,weather improved as well,😎😍
Thanks! Weather is all over the place now
Prayers to your health getting stronger! I enjoy your narratives as much as the scenery!!! Sorry not a mechanic, so I have nothing to offer as a point of failure.
Thank you, the fault is gone, thanks for your kindness!
Cozy van. Nature is the healing.
Thanks! Indeed!
I hope you are feeling better! What a gorgeous place to be ill, though. My goodness. Glad to see you back traveling again. Stay well!
Thanks Wendy!
God speed in you recovery Chef, Safe travels. Outstanding video
Thanks my friend, hope you are doing well in NY! heatwave?
I’ve had that virus for a week can’t stop coughing .. sad your glow plug situ returned , I’ve fitted a Webasto pre heater to mine ready for next winter up there hopefully it will save a bit of stress on the engine and glow plugs etc , we will see , and I picked up a big bag of rubbish someone left , there’s just no need to leave rubbish about , gives people in vans a bad name and they should know it , thanks for sharing anyway 👍🏻
Webasto sounds very nice indeed!
Beautiful again Jarl, thank you.
My wife has to have a series of electronic zappers around the house in order to combat midges because she reacts very badly to them. In her case it can lead to sepsis. So I feel for you trying to keep them out of the van.
The aerial midnight sun shots were simply amazing.
Ian, Birmingham, UK
Thanks Ian, I have tried some small zappers here, they are not very effective in my case, maybe it is because of the van, but the mr mosquito and thermacells are wonderful though
I'm so sorry you were sick! Glad you're better and back on the road! I was wondering why you don't have a fan or A/C in the back of the van so you can be cool?
It uses too much power, air circulation is key
Please take care of yourself.
You will feel tired for a while but each day gets a little better. Praying for you.
We love you sharing the road trip with us.
The Artic looks beautiful during summer I’m glad you’re feeling better
Thank you!
Oh I really loved this video! Such lovely pastoral villages and farmland and the mountain majesty too. Some new music?

Beautiful landscapes and great video as usual, glad you are feeling better! PS you look a bit like you are hunting down Sarah Connor in those sun glasses 😜
Thanks, they are not quite Terminator
Beauitful filiming, very memorizing...thank you Norwegian Xplorer :) Hugs from Canada Yolan
Thanks Yolan!
I see. I hope you get well soon. Thank you for the video.
Thank you too
Полного вам выздоровления.
Thank you Sergey!
So glad your'e feeling better. I was hoping you had maybe stayed close to family while feeling so miserable. Glad your back at it. Love the scenary in this video!
Yes I stayed with family:-)
Que distinto es sin nieve ese verde tan hermoso tirarse es ese pasto y dormir un rato mirando ese hermoso ciel😊
That sounds nice!
Your video is so peaceful and full of beautiful scenery. Thank you for taking us with you on your journey to the Arctic 🤗💖.
Thank you so much 😊

Heyy Jarl sorry you were sick, glad you are feeling much better, amazing scenic views great aerial footage, stay safe out there
Thanks, you too!
Please take care of yourself.
You will feel tired for a while but each day gets a little better. Praying for you.

I am glad you feel better.
I want to tell you that when i see your wonderful videos i feel like i am flaying in the sky.
Take care and keep enjoying those beautiful Places.
Wow, thank you
Keep on truckin’ Norwegian Explorer. You appear to be healing well. Very much enjoy your postings. Warm greetings (literally) from the US Southwest. Monsoon season here, very tropical.
Thank you, stay cool!
Nice to be able to hit the road again in good weather! Even though I know now it rains there all year round. Wanderlust is in your veins. Thanks Jarl!
Yep, it is raining right now as well lol
Lovely to see you back on the road sharing those amazing views. Hopefully being back outside and in nature will help you get your energy back. Take care out there.
Thank you Kat! I am glad too!
Hello Arctic Jarl :-) Scandinavian weather is capricious :-) I think the road at the foot of the mountains, strewn with stones, was brought by an ancient glacier... What kind of Scandinavian wooden temple did you come across on the way?
Everything here is made by glacier indeed, it is called Stavkirke, Stave church
I hope you will be fully recovered very soon. Take care and wishing you good health!
Thanks!
Wow, this adventure is absolutely intense! Surviving painful viruses, heavy rain, and storms while riding to the Arctic in a cozy van - it’s like a real-life thriller. 🌧️❄️ The resilience and determination of the Norwegian Xplorer are truly inspiring.

Thank you my friend!
Thank you for sharing your summer tour, it makes a bleak cold winters day feel warm and sunny. So glad you are on the mend now! Cannot wait for your next instalment :)
You are so welcome! Coming in a week!
Çok geçmiş olsun. Kulağınında kısa zamanda iyileşmesini dilerim.
Thanks!
Great to hear your healing up. Take care and thanks for your commitment. Really enjoying this scenery and I love seeing the towns without snow cover.
Thanks my friend!
Great weather, a bit too warm?
I see as I watched your window covers and such.
Yes it was warm, and warmer it got through the summer
The travel industry in Norway should compensate you for the wonderful job you do promoting the beauty of Norway... I don't think we've hit 80 degrees yet here in Washington state and it is June 29th. It is raining right now. It's definitely different seeing all the green watching your travels after all that snow. What a beautiful country Norway is. Glad you are over covid, stay safe.
Thanks Candy, it is very different in summer indeed, it gets so green
Hope you are the mend soon for a full recovery. All of us here in the states send you our well wishes. Your channel is marvelous, you put so much time and effort into your productions. Danke sehr.
Thank you so much! Appreciate it!
Good to see you are going better Jarl! 👍
Thanks Keith!
I'm a fan here. I'm just curious. Why are you travelling alone? It's more fun to travel with somebody.
Thanks for watching!
Hei igjen , ja det er nu fint med litt regn også, ikke bare sol...kjempe bra reise film du lager. takk så mye for at du lagerdisse filmemene..
Tusen takk!
Your sister is very talented. Beautiful window cover. Sorry you were sick. Glad you are feeling better. 3 years ago almost everyone in my town was sick with IT. looking forward to more wonderful scenery from my ancestral country. Great videos.
Thank you so much!
I'm glad your feeling better, that virus is nasty,I had it back in 2021 and I just now got my smells back.
Thanks! Had no issues with smell or taste, mostly just high fever
Beautiful in August we are going to the Lofoten
Thanks!
Those glow plug issues sound like a nightmare, especially after getting them "fixed" twice! Hope it holds up for your trip.
Especially in wintertime
Ah, only now I hear the problem is back 😢
It works fine in warm weather despite the warning light coming on, I am more worried about starting the van in winter if it persists
Yes, winter could be a problem.
I like a place with flowers and trees. Mountains become walls.
Nice
