I recently bought a "6 person living space" tent-like thing from Tesco which was on clearance at just £15.

    What leaps out at me at 12:45 but one year later - why not braze your stonking great positive cable to an angle piece to be bolted on to the inverter. But I didn't read comments yet or see what you eventually did.

    The more videos I watch the more I become convinced that David you are a gadget lover. The very opposite of my ex husband who had an allergy to gadgets (or maybe parting with the money to buy them) He would go to extraordinary lengths to try to create some gadget from scraps. He said it was perfectly feasible to make your own. Sadly they rarely worked.

    My view is there is that in this society, value is inappropriately weighted on being sociable obviously nice to be nice and it has an evolutionary and practical function which has been capitalised upon, but no one should have to put themselves too far out of there comfort zone in what is probably our only time here. Great vlog ofc.

    Ah yes, us introverts must of course hide away after a lot of socialising, makes sense. As for the sudden and long nap, well, we're getting on a bit, aren't we? I do catch myself just wanting forty winks and then waking up two-three hours later feeling a bit groggy and seemingly having two days instead of just the one. (also, hayfever doesn't help on the energy levels - I've got the itchy eyes and sniffles every summer)

If you love Wales then South Island New Zealand is your heaven. We call those who live in Auckland Jaffas. (Just another f***ing Aucklander) But I’m glad you enjoyed it. You certainly got to see some of the most beautiful parts. Looking forward to part 2, 3, 4.

    Better with a bit of rain than a heat wave. Expecting 29 C today... not pleasant for outdoor activities, and even worse in a steel box out in the sunshine. The van next door with the Starlink on the roof looked really sleek. The one with the T2 paint job was awesome and the cottage interior one was very much in my taste. Would be interesting to combine the three 🙂

    You are not alone on wanting a good nights sleep. I was on a 4 day business trip to Amsterdam and I was the first one in a cab home to the hotel well before midnight to get some sleep when most others continued though the city after dinner. I too old for that drinking all night when it’s a full day of meetings afterwards and I need some quiet time, even when it is free 😂

  • @brucefay5126
    @brucefay5126 13 дней назад

    Sorry David, but the shiny aluminum (USA spelling) travel trailer at the 9:24 mark is an AVION, not an Airstream. (I’m not that sharp on RV history, but it says so across the front just under the window in really big letters.) Both Airstream and Avion were eventually owned by THOR Industries, but neither one ever owned the other. Avion production ended in 2006 (I think). Airstream was founded by Wally Byam in 1931 and they are still being made. (I suspect production ceased during WW2, but I have not researched that.) We have a 2020 Airstream Flying Cloud 27 FBT (front bed twin) model. It is a good trailer and a wonderful way for us to be “on the road” for extended periods of time.

    I get overstimulated and so, while I'd love to be everybody's friend and be the very last person to leave any party, I can't get out much at all these days! I'm trying to figure out how to balance it. It was easier when I was slightly younger and stronger and could associate with people online all day, but that turned into the sort of lifestyle best left undescribed and I'm still trying to figure out what to do instead. I was a little better off last summer when I was out on my bike every other day, almost come rain or shine, but every time I went further than a very local stop, I was running ragged before I got home. Ooooh! That Chevy is gorgeous! The finish, the chrome, the artwork, everything! I love Luna's interior too. I could live in that, I really could. That minty colour is pretty cute. I can't quite remember where I've seen another vehicle in that colour, but it was probably Street Machine around about 1990. Shows are dangerous for giving you ideas to get carried away on. :D

    It is nice to see you out and enjoying your campervan. Your campervan build videos in particular always have me thinking about things I could do/modify in our trailer (caravan?) I still think you should come over to Canada and drive up/down the Alaska Highway or perhaps visit Jasper/Banff and some of British Columbia's Provincial Parks. If I may take a moment for shameless self promotion. My wife and I have just finished an eighty day, 13800km, 2 provinces and 26 US states road trip with our truck (not sure of the English term... a Ford F150) and trailer (caravan?)
