Sprinter Van Build (Ep3) - Cleaning and Rust Proofing is NOT Exciting!
Those Weirdos - Family Life in a Van 2 Bigger Weirdos, 2 Smaller Weirdos, and some furry ones!
So have to be honest it's not a very exciting video, watch er paint dry, rust proofing cleaning... but needs must AND an essential part of the conversion before the good stuff!
Hello! TODAY A SNEAKY EXTRA MIDWEEK VIDEO:
After our mad dash across France and then our second, slightly slower dash across Spain to meet friends near Malaga. We rest and eat at the beach with our great friends; Goff, Jack and Mike. In tonight's episode, Jack and Goff cook us a wonderful vanlife meal, showing just how easy it is to eat and cook well on a van or when living and travelling full time.

We fitted a Victron Digital Multi Control in our van so we can switch our Victron Multi Plus inverter/charger on and off remotely!
Saving us the hassle of going round to the boot to switch it on and off on the inverter/charger itself. Now we can do it while we're in bed if we want!
Want to buy one? Here's the link: https://amzn.to/3vOCOZo

We love Victron products. They're built really well, work reliably, are simple to install and look pretty sleek too. Victron have a community online where you can ask questions and get really great advice from knowlegable people, often Victron employees who really know their stuff.
Our solar charger, battery monitor and battery to battery charger are all Victron too, we highly recommend them.

Hi all :) Welcome to our daily(ish) real vanlife Vlog today we are at episode 9.
The second part as we try to get into Spain to meet John and Mandy On tour.We are currently in France having arrived to hear of the impending full lockdown which took effect last night at midnight (Thurs 29th Oct).
We drove for another 8 hours today covered 390 miles in an attempt to get to Spain before lockdown, we're not sure if Spain will allow us in either, so it's all a bit tense!
See if we get in OR if we had to turn around!
Today thankfully though no satnav fails and the roads were a joy to drive as well as the weather hitting a lovely 27 degrees :) One of the joys of real full-time van life.
Follow our daily(ish) Vlogs for Vanlife updates on COVID-19 travel restrictions in France and then hopefully Spain.
PLEASE POST ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE IN THE COMMENTS, we answer ALL questions and make a note of them and will cover all your questions off in future Vlogs :)

Hello! In today's episode (EP7) we start creating Rosie's secret garden on our off grid land aka 'The Wild Lands'. She's having her own area with a large tent which we erect today after a load of bramble clearance! We add a lovely comy swinging hammock chair and she also have her own arae for growing plants, fruits and vegetables, her own mini homestead.
We are now the proud owners of a stunning off grid property in Portugal, Lobateira, which we've renamed 'The Wild Lands'. We've been searching for our own slice offgrid heaven to start a homestead. We decided to base our search around the Castelo Branco region of Portugal, as the land here is not only beautiful, but far cheaper than the Algarve. Equally, there are many off grid families in the region, and we wanted to be close to a community of like-minded people.
We were 'stuck' in the UK (again) since returning to see loved ones over Christmas while we waited for our D7 Visa for Portugal. After nearly 6 months of waiting, we got to leave! This was a mammoth task as we had to transit through France to Spain in 24 hours or less! (see previous videos) Now we've finally bought our own at land in Portugal. Follow us on our adventure in the sun! (and sometimes biblical Portuguese rain!!!) As we start turning The Wild Lands' into our own off grid heaven.

TIMELAPSE LOOK AT OUR CABINS PROGRESS. Today our tinyhouse gets her walls up, SUCH A CUTE CABIN! and we time lapse this part of the build.
A self build cabin in the woods can be so romantic AND NOW we're building our own tiny house in our own woodland. Inspired by so many cabins it's time to get chopping wood, digging holes and getting this wooden cabin build off the ground!
We have a vision for a 2 story cabin with a high A frame style roof and a medieval inspired veranda and balcony. Follow along each week and watch us without any previous building skills we show you anyone can do it!
Join us OFF GRID in Portugal where we are growing a FOOD FOREST and embarking on our journey to be self sufficient and beat the cost of living crisis.

We are those Weirdos, a family of 7: 3 people, 2 cats and 2 dogs living and travelling full time living the Vanlife in our LWB self converted Sprinter van.
We are currently travelling in Spain, having left the UK at the end of June. Here we journey deeper into southern Spain, find many beaches and swelter in 40+ degrees of pelting sun. We AGAIN have the sad news that some of our fave park ups are no more!
We live and travel full time in mainland Europe in a converted DHL delivery van with 2 adults, 1 child, 2 dogs and 2 cats.
We'd love you to subscribe to our channel so you don't miss future episodes of our adventures on the road as a family of 7!
