We're back on Emma's van, slowly catching back up as this brings us to April of this year, After Portugal 1 & 2, and up to when I could actually start seeing Emma again.
We tackle a lot...
In this week's video I'm taking you waaay back.
Before Portugal, trip 1 and 2, right back to August last year where Emma had bought a new van to replace her VW T4.
Joining me full-time,...

I was expecting it a year ago, but Amber's turbo has now let go.
In true Sprinter form she still drives fine but putting your foot down just makes funny sucking noises and no extra power, lots o...

Even though its far from finished the trailer has come along nicely.
Its now on its wheels, and for the first time in 8 months its on the move!
The maiden/test voyage highlighted some issues:...
My old sink lasted 4 years before breaching and going bad. I was surprised it lasted this long to be honest, as the entire van was only built to last a year long trip. So it's time to rip out the o...

Now that I'd decided to push forward with the trailer project, the first thing I needed was a tow hitch for the van so I could then find a chassis. Not an easy task on Amber due to her being an Ex-...

Hey folks,
Sorry it's been quiet the past 2 weeks.
The vans had a hell of a lot done to it and I've once again regressed into a feral being, getting absorbed into the repairs and projects.
Hey folks,
It's been a quiet week from me online but the reality couldn't be more different.
My good friend Paul has once again opened his doors to me, Lance & Amber and has let me start ...
Another round of clips from the past chunk of videos showing a little insight to how things really go whilst making them.
