WE NEED TO GET THIS VAN LEGAL.. TIME IS RUNNING OUT – VAN LIFE EUROPE.. (GERMANY)



Our van life adventure in Germany is coming to an end, we’re on our way back to Berlin to get going with the paperwork to start the exportation process from Germany into Spain.. It’s not an easy task as Spain is very strict with importing anything into the country (especially if it’s been modified).. But hopefully we’ve found a way.. Van life in our new home on wheels has been easy here in Germany, so many great free places to stay in a van and now before we leave, we hope to share a few cool places along the way before the long journey south to Andalucia begins..

  1. Do a half circle shower curtain hoop so it's at the back and sides when you shower and covers the loo.
    Sometimes yoghurt can be a good substitute for mayo, I'm using it for butter along with humous. Thanks for another great video. Happy progress

  2. Love your cooktop/counter cover. Looks like it could also be a serving tray. Does it bridge the walkway gap between the stove and the other counter?

  3. Just when I thought I couldn’t love Dizzy anymore ❤ so funny

  4. If all fails on account of bureaucracy you're welcome to use my German address for a second home and register the van in Germany. (Saarbrücken, near the French border. Easy drive from Spain.) F..k all bureaucrats! 😉

  5. Great idea with left over scraps wood. Fingers crossed your
    Van will be fine and pass to be imported to Spain. 💚

  6. Arsome Camper van.🇩🇪🇪🇦🇬🇧🇩🇰🐕🦮👶👱‍♀️😅lovly hello from Lolland Denmark xpost Bjarne

  7. Great Vlogs guys as always, my brother lives just down the road from them stones, there’s a big giant statue near by as well.

  8. Good luck with all the paperwork to get exporting / importing of the van 🤞🤞🤞 its just crazy that you would need to strip the van then replace everything after its been excepted 🤦‍♀️ thats an awful cost ( in my eyes not to mention the stress of stripping finding some where to keep the contents of van mean while )
    Lets hope they way you have found even if it cost a lot more beter than the first option.
    All the best Safe journey 🥰

  9. Sounds like Red tape bullshit , but of course its a good cash cow for the people who hold the power strings

  10. Are you growing out your dreads Sarah?
    I loved the video, looks amazing. And your shower is top end😍
    The doggies are great listeners 😂🐾❤️

  11. Made me cry, stay strong guys, you only have to ask when you get sorted, we have some glorious replacements when you are ready❤❤

  12. Hi guys
    I do not like heights so I think Iyou were very brave climbing to the top of those rocks my stomach was going over watching you.
    Van is coming on great isn't it and such lovely items you have made nick with all ya wood.
    We have been watching women's golf tournament from andalusia where you live
    Hope you get all ya legal stuff sorted OK
    Take care
    Love Kim xx

  13. I was at the Externsteine for the first time just a couple of weeks ago an my way from Hannover to Köln. Interesting, but it was quite crowded, maybe because it was still school holidays. Enjoy your time.
    Right now I am in Schwerin on a camp site until Thursday next week. Some business stuff to do here. Tomorrow I'm going to see Wismar, said to be lovely and actually is a UNESCO world heritage site.

  14. get longer "U" bolts + fit an extra leaf, no need for new springs [which will probably not be up to it anyway] germany not keen on modifications, so probably easier over border
    01:51, did he shout "i can see your bum", or are you just one step ahead these days…

  15. To import into Italy it's even more complicated, there needs to be an EU standard process. What a pain, good luck.

  16. A guys love to the Vlog once again looks like you are really making progress with the new van. Well done looking forward to the next one, PS. I'm still in Spain, loving it❤ off to Cordoba next week👍🇪🇸❤

  17. Just a thought, looking at the layout of the van, and needing to add light / air ( as you mentioned), im thinking a coupe of those narrow, round ended sliding windows (bonded / tinted) up high in the side panels would work well ?

  18. Love you both you are so funny love all the work done on the vanhope you get your paper work done so you can get back home looking forward to more videos sure the doggies love all there walks

  19. Export plates isn't normally a problem, as long as the German MOT (TÜV) is still valid for the period you want these plates to be valid for.

  20. Hey guys …looking good as usual ….never asked ,but what does ex PAWers stand for ….call me thick🤣🤣🤣I’ve only been watch your vlogs for a couple of years

  21. A double glazing salesman knocked at my door. He said you bought double glazing from us 2 years ago
    That's right I said
    But you haven't paid a penny for it in 2 years
    That's correct I said. when you sold me it you said it would pay for itself in two years

  22. Watching you work so hard, remembers me about my house i just sold. But now it already start itching in my fingers and hands to do some work again. Feeling i could be a good hand at your finca, helping you with that heavy stuff. We'll see if you need some help in the beginning of next year when i take my Van driving down there. I'll escape the cold and dark winter in Sweden.
    I've been to Denia before and like that area. I've worked many years as an electrician but now i work in the health care. See ya!
    Regards Rickard🎸🇸🇪🚐🇪🇸🌺

  23. Hi There Nick Sarah and Dogies ,Hope you Are All Well , Great video , what a lot of things you have to do to get your New Home to your home in Spain , But you will do it , Great looking Place you Have parked at , it looks so welcoming there , Doggies look Happy in their new Home, so Thank you for sharing , Take care All , 🌄🌞👍

  24. So here would have been my list in order of priority. (1) paperwork legality importation change of use etc. (2) leaf springs. (3) FULL service. It's strange you have to import something when both countries are in the EU! I get it that you'll need it to be registered in Spain with Spanish plates. But without a list of priorities all the work you have done could be in vain.

  25. guys our daisy our family dog who passed aged 12 an half who we lost on sept the 1st used to do that back sneeze we used to put our fingers blocking her nasel holes to stop her doing it lol we love your doglets we are gonna get a pup soon as losing our lovely daisy was traumatic for our twins 20 an our daughter 25 heart breaking time anyway its great how thing have worked out for you all bless u guyz an lovely doglets xx from the uk

  26. oh an just finished your vid an u guyz are so funny love the bloopers so much me an holly had the giggles at your gibberish love u guys xx

  27. Hi Nick, glad to see your enjoying your DIY ing just to let you know my girlfriend,s daughter calls it WOODERING !! makes more sense than Carpentry 🤣🤣

  28. Hi, have you considered fitting rear air suspension, best thing I’ve added to my boxer with gauges and compressor, good when running with full water tanks etc and even saves getting the level ramps out sometimes. Cheers steve

  29. Good luck with the import. We imported from the UK to France our tag axle 4.5 tonne motorhome. It is an extremely difficult bureaucratic process. It took 4 months and ended up with a working file 2" thick. Apparentlly the time it took me was quite quick and many other just gave up. I know you'll do it, but be prepared for a long slog. Keep the videos coming, we love it.
