We are Tim and Mandy and we love getting out into the hills so we thought we would keep a record of some beautiful moments that we have spent in God's wonderful creation. It's good to share...

Been looking at these alot lately one of the best ive seen to date fantastic guys
This is a very cool project Tim!
I watched this 4 years ago, and decided I was getting a Bongo; hadn't heard of them until a few days earlier. I've had 4 years of joy with my Bongo thanks to this. Cheers.
Nice
Fab thanks
I started following you two over 7 years ago when you had your Bongo (I still have mine) great to see you both fit and well and looking no older. Regards AJ
cool guys
Hello Tim/Mandy, Firstly thank you very much for such informative and inspiring videos. The words "life's too short" often help me to get back on track with the search for a future 'home on wheels' when at times the obstacles appear rather too many and insurmountable. If you would be so kind as to let me know what has happened to "Betsy", and how after years of van living the Hymer compares to all the other vans past and present you have known. I am currently contemplating a 1997 S660 Hymer but as a total novice to motor homes your insight would be highly valued, thank you. Best wishes to you both.
Hi David we still have Betsy as our home base and still rate the s555 as THE best motorhome for all year all weather, bomb proof full time living van.
Very informative…. Thankyou!
What a witness! Thank you so very very much
Lovely ❤!!! Just received mine the other day. I might get another one. Keep up the gorgeous shots.
Just started watching yr channel, love yr bible verses, am not a church goer but give me goose’s bumps xx
What an amazing conversion. You’ve come a long way from your Mazda bongo. Great to see you’re making new vlogs as I really enjoy your content. Looking forward to your adventures in the new van.
What an absolutely lovely space! Well done to you both and so good to see / hear you again. atb, Paul.
Thanks Paul :) Tim/Mandy
What a fantastic conversion you had done and that Landy is well suited to our rather changeable weather and roads up here in Scotland. Hope you have many happy travels in it and look forward to seeing the vids.
Thanks Boris much appreciated! Scotland is the unbeatable
Pat on the back for Paul 👏what a job that is Tim looking very impressive mate! Good to see you Mandy and wee(big now) jess back on YT again. All the very best for 2024 Tim cant wait for more of your brilliant vids. Take care mate, peter :)))

Hiya Kenny! its been a while lol! we are still living full time in the hymer for now, we have some plans for the future that hopefully one day will come off. Thanks for getting in touch my friend :) Tim/Mandy
Nice conversion and some great ideas ….I’ve a pulse too … will steal some of your ideas
Thanks buddy... that's what we did, get other peoples ideas and bring them together in one van :) Tim/Mandy
Hey Tim great to see you & Mandy doing well.. what a fantastic conversion that is..its a familiar thing tbh as my dad about 20 year ago had one of those & converted it..he along with several friends those in the old army forward controls as they called them did 3 week around Iceland in them.. Looked like you were parked at the top of Appleby Cross there? Me & kerry did the nc500 last year absolutely loved it & loved it that much were going back this year.. Did it in a roof tent on the car last year but I'm currently converting my own van at the moment a vauxhall vivaro lwb..looking forward to it & cant wait to start using it.. Anyways take care mate & all the best..Andy..
Hi Andrew thanks for your comment buddy. Sounds to me like you had one cool dad!. We still go up to Castleton for a night in the van, getting crowded out now lol, but Scotland like yourself is so so special. We wanted to do a real test of the landrover over pass of the cattle and sleep on top in winter conditions and it was toasty warm. Take care buddy and may you and Kerry have many more trips to the west coast :) Tim/Mandy
Welcome back!!!
haha lol its been a while! thanks brother :) Tim/Mandy
what a great conversation a proper go anywhere camper van 👏
Thanks we are happy how its Turing out :) Tim/Mandy
Brilliant guys thanks for that. We love our wild (Campervan) camping and due to have a look at Mam Tor this week on our way to Scotland and the western Isles. But hoping for a couple of nights where you were. Unless it snows! thanks for the warning. Loved the bit at the beggining with the music. We try to make vids like that. Graham and Ellie 👍..just subscribed.
Отличный вэн. Вы классные!)
555 Hymer con letto in coda pannelli solari stufa trauma o fiamma piano cottura a L frigo 80 litri meccanica Mercedes 250 aspirato o TD
I just overhaul the bongo cooling system every so often and no issues, regarding mpg, its pretty good when you consider its also your holiday home, where you cook etc etc....
It's so sad to see the state of the road today. Fifty years ago this village was wonderful, there was local people living here and it was a lovely peaceful village. I worked at the Nag's Head when it was a beautiful hotel. So many slobs or weekend wankers as I call them, turn up here and make it a shithole for two days a week.
I now have the chance to buy a hymer s555. The condition is very good and it costs 20.000.- it is in switzerland. The year is 1994. I don't know but I would like to buy it.
Do you the name of the beach on islay with the white sands ??
My sould needs this. It well and truly does. 6 months there to get my mind right
Good camera
Loved it, ,would love a bongo to,,,purely for astrophotography...Great sound track . ❤
Great review of a lovely camera. I have a 35SP love it to bits, I should really use it more I'm never disappointed with the results It's featured a few times on my chan, but not for ages, I need to change that soon. Liked and subbed.
I noticed that the side struts are not locked over centre.
Strange music selection. Lol😂
Just started watching your channel I'm getting a Mazda bongo 🤣
Lovely to see you both - super Psalm
At 12:56 you can see that the front passenger seat is turned 180 degrees. Can you tell me if in some video you can see in more detail the details of the seat reversal mechanism?
Pull, don't push, when trying to move bolts. Use WD40 first to lubricate, give it a couple of minutes and it'll all be easier. Stable door and bolted horse I know, but for future viewers . . . Thanks for sharing 😊
Hi Tim and Mandy hope you are well , I am in the process of selling my house and looking to buy a Hymer like yours, what can you say about it now it's been a couple of years later? peace and Love 🙏
Hi its been very reliable just the usual wear and tear very very warm in winter too thanks Tim/Mandy
@@savedpurplecat That's great to hear thank you
Re the FED 2, mine got curtain light leak problem the photos fogged up, but I still love it, so I'm going to repair the curtain with rubber glue.
HI there, I was just thinking about you. How are you? Xxxxx
We are still living in the van, loving it! just got back from a month in South Africa hopefully post a vid on our trip. Blessings Tim/Mandy
Hi guys loved your review. I've been trying to decide on a campervan and you've sold the bongo for me. Brilliant video so many lovely places you have visited. I'm going to start my search 😊 If I see you on the road I'll be sure to give you a wave 👋
WAW is a great route. I did a bit of it in Co. Mayo and Donegal last year. Like you I was in an 'almost' vintage 1992 VW T4 Westfalia - The van got a lot of love from folk who knew what it was. But the scenery and landscaoe is awsome. It will endlessly rain on the West Coast here, so take an umbrella. But the rain is what shapes the landscape and its beauty - Great upload thanks
hi are you still full timing mate
We are thanks
I’ve recently got a 35sp, it has only full manual and full auto, the litle thing can’t shoot in either aperture nor shutter priority
What make of bivi is that another great video
