Every October, Derry transforms into a goth paradise, hosting Europe’s largest Halloween parade with 40,000 attendees—some went as their actual selves (thanks, Mrs. M!). Amid chaos, a DIY van project turned into a wiring horror. Yet, fireworks, fairgrounds, and a swamp-like mocktail capped off a hilariously spooky adventure. Halloween miracles do exist!
One of my studio lights fell off the roof of the van and hit me in the head. Still, I finished the review. Turns out the Karcher WV1 Window Vac actually does what every towel, sleeve, and bad attitude couldn’t — it clears motorhome condensation in seconds.
You’d think Northern Ireland’s second city would have a few basic motorhome facilities, right? Somewhere to dump waste, grab some water, and avoid parking at an angle sharp enough to give you vertigo. But here I am, once again, at St. Columb’s Park, wondering if I need to send Mark Durkan another politely irritated email….
Back from Corfu and straight back into vanlife chaos. Mrs. M’s 50th birthday trip was all cocktails, mosquitoes, and questionable tribute acts. Now we’re parked up at Banagher Glen near Dungiven, swapping beach loungers for muddy boots, watching autumn roll in, and pretending the solar panels can handle winter.
After four sleepless nights rebuilding my Make.com automations in n8n, I’ve learned two things: sleep is overrated and curly brackets are evil. Make.com might be Lego for beginners, but n8n is the engineering degree nobody warned me about. Here’s how I swapped cold dinners for JSON headaches, and built a LinkedIn Guru Machine that even made me gag.
Ah, motorhome life in Derry. Instagram will show you golden sunsets over the Peace Bridge and latte art at the Craft Village. My reality? A sourdough bread ambush in Whitehead that snapped my dental bridge clean out, and an emergency dentist appointment that turned Bishop Street into my personal overnight park-up. Free Parking, Free Stress…
DIY motorhome solar upgrade in Northern Ireland. One 100W panel, some glue, a few bolts, and a motorway test at 70mph. Batteries happy, roof still intact.
Welcome to the glamorous life of motorhome living, where romance is fixing water leaks and sleeping on listing ships! This week featured damp panels, intense Reuben chaos, and culinary treasures from Greysteel. While Kathy gained TikTok fame, I upgraded my phone and made peace with soggy walls — just another day in #VanLife!
In a quest for adventure, I bought an e-bike to bridge the gap between my motorhome and far-off attractions. Reality check: I mostly park, collect footage of the same views, and load up on accessories faster than my wallet can handle. But hey, at least I’m prepared for life’s unexpected rainstorms!
Living the motorhome dream? More like a ‘why is my e-bike mocking me?’ reality! From battling punctures with a knight named Tim to roof leaks that should win awards for permanence, every day is an adventure. But hey, at least the views at Benone Beach are priceless – right before your vehicle floats away!
