On Day 19 of a Year in a Motorhome with James Walters, I dive into another day of challenges with the cold weather and the learning curve that comes with living off-grid in winter. After troubleshooting the lithium battery heating and understanding the impact of sub-zero temperatures on the motorhome, I'm adapting my setup to handle the freezing conditions better. With some quick modifications, insulation adjustments, and plans for further heating tweaks, I'm determined to make this lifestyle comfortable for both me and Arthur. This episode also highlights the value I place on essentials like water and power—resources I have to actively work for in this lifestyle.

In Day 18 of a Year in a Motorhome with James Walters, things get intense as I navigate the challenges of living in a motorhome during the cold winter months. Waking up to a freezing -4°C inside the motorhome, I face issues with my diesel heater and battery, leading to a series of troubleshooting moments. From learning how to manage my lithium battery’s self-heating feature to keeping my motorhome warm and cozy with limited resources, it’s another day packed with lessons.

While the cold presents new challenges, I reflect on the balance between seeking comfort and valuing the essentials in life, like water, heat, and power, all of which are limited when living off-grid. Despite the difficulties, the beauty of the Wye Valley and the stunning sunrise over Studleigh Church makes it all worthwhile. Join me as I continue to learn and adapt to life on the road in these colder months!

In today's episode of Day 16 of a Year in a Motorhome with James Walters, I find myself near Winchcombe and Brockhampton, taking in stunning views and planning a cardio session around the Roman Villa nestled in Spoonleigh Wood. After experiencing a cold start to the day at zero degrees in the motorhome, I share my journey through balancing energy conservation and soaking up nature's beauty in the Cotswolds.

I reflect on how my life has changed, embracing the freedom of a transient lifestyle while remaining mindful of stability and planning. As always, I continue to use the Wild Guide Central England to discover breathtaking locations and new wild places to explore. Plus, there’s a stunning sunrise along the River Severn that was absolutely awe-inspiring.

Welcome to Day 15 of a Year in a Motorhome with James Walters! In this episode, I'm back in the Wye Valley, tackling the challenges of winter motorhome living. From managing the lowest battery levels I've experienced so far, to learning how to optimize solar panel positioning for better energy efficiency in the colder months, I reflect on the lessons of living off-grid. I also share the ups and downs of staying warm, relying on my trusty Lifesaver Jerry can for cold outdoor showers, and making the most of local cafes for recharging my power packs. Plus, there's some talk of long-term plans to build a custom motorhome if we continue this van life adventure beyond this year.

I discuss the importance of finding the right parking spots, the joy of exploring the Wye Valley, and balancing freedom with practicality as I aim for a low-cost, low-impact lifestyle. Follow along as I embrace the challenges of winter van life, while keeping my focus on the beauty of living minimally in the great outdoors. 🌿🚐
