#vanlife4x4 #mercedesvan #sprintervanlife #vanlife #sprintercampervan Trying our best to be clean and eco to our environment is extremely important to us on the road and always has been. That means having an engine with as low emissions as possible, ours is a Euro 6 with Ad blue technology, supposedly better for air pollution. Everything on board is as off-grid as possible, we run our electrics almost solely off solar power, on this current 3 month trip we’ve only plugged into an EHU once when we came across it by chance. Heating and hot water are both run off the engine, which leaves just the hob using gas. This leads us to the gas bottle!! It ran out this week and you may have already seen us asking the question of “how long do you think it lasted”?!! Well we can reveal that this French Gas Bottle of 11kg was bought not for this van but our previous motorhome whilst on the Ille de Re in.....August 2014!!🙀🙀🙀😲 Yes... that’s 5 years ago!!! Just incase you think we haven’t used the van or the 3- burner gas hob, well we have and regularly throughout the day, it boils our kettle and we cook home cooked food each night as well as anything else that needs heating up in between. Our trips in that time in this camper have covered 22,000 miles!! We think that’s pretty outstanding. We had considered swapping to a tank or a re-fillable bottle but why bother when when it lasts so many years?!! The replacement bottle seen on the photo going in place earlier today cost us €36! If there was a Guinness Book of Records for the longest running Gas bottle, Maybe we could claim it 😄🚐 . #ecovan #enviromentallyfriendly #ecofriendly #responsiblevanlife #cleanvantravels #vanlifereality #livingthevanlife #keepitrealchallenge #gasbottles #campervanlifestyle #campervanning #camperlife #sprintercampervan #sprintervan #sprintervanconversions #mercedessprinter4x4 #motorhometravel #responsiblecamper #overlandcamper #overlandtravel #homeiswhereyouparkit #candmclub #wohnmobil #campingcarlife #vanlife4x4 It always amazes us that public water fountains are so often available to use for free, in countries where heat, drought and extremes of conditions are ever present. Yet back in the U.K. we still seem to be expected to buy bottled water (not good for our eco status), or go into a cafe and buy something to get a top up or glass of tap water if they will be willing to do that! If only we could re-fill on walks, runs, cycling or on our day to day business, it would be great for us and the problem of plastic waste !🤔 . . #ecofriendly #refillmybottle #drinkingwater #enviromentallyfriendly #responsibletraveller #vanlifereality #responsiblevanlife #campervantravels #water #traveling #roadtrip #motorhometrip #vanlife #sprintervanlife #motorhomeadventures #adventuretravels #waterbottles #environmentallyfriendly #lovevantravels #wateronthego #vanlife4x4 As if we haven’t seen enough Roman ruins this Summer!!😂😂 We decide to pay a re-visit to the town where we saw our first ever amphitheater 😲 Back in times when our children were still children, campervans were uncool and we had waaaay less grey hair and wrinkles!! 🤣🤣 Oh, this is Arles by the way, it didn’t quite look the same on a dull Autumn day as on the scorching July day of our last visit! But still amazing ruins all the same, it’s also amazing what a difference the weather & season makes, instead of full pavement cafes, streets filled with tourists and needing to find shade from the searing heat, it’s empty chairs at empty tables (brings us on to a theme of our next trip, Les Mis fans 🤫🤗🤗) and let’s hit foot it out of here mode!! 🤭 By the way, the Aire here is a little dodgy looking... we were hoping the van would be still there on our return, which thankfully it was, but wouldn’t want to be bedding down there for the night!!😭😭 . #campervantour #vanlifereality #vantravels #arles #francetrip #lovefrance #romanruins #amphitheater #romantheatre #campervanadventures #motorhomelife #sprintervanlife #sprintervan #campervanning #vanlifeeurope #vandreams #sprintercampervans #campercontact #park4night #campervancastaways #vanlife4x4
