Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm driving their Swift. Nick's driving Elvis. So, this is going to be fun.

It's a beautiful site. Eden Garden Glamping, and you can actually get married here as well.

We've got the heating on, the electrics on, and um we're all sorted. It's absolutely freezing tonight.

It was fabulous. All of the sounds. That's what we were saying, wasn't it? The sounds of the cows, the the bees, the birds, the wind, the the rain. It was lovely.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Check insurance requirements before hiring a motorhome, as David couldn't get insured due to only having a license for 16 months.
Use a horizontal and vertical leveler to properly level your motorhome on uneven ground.
Practice using ramps for leveling, as it's a new skill for some travelers.
