Weekend escape.

Before that: Working (hard) on the camping bus. The challenge: installing a Chinese diesel night heater. Something you can do in 6 hours (according to YouTube ). Our heater, though, must be a little more complicated. Lol.

That‘s the heater. Here still trying to find its final destination (not the dining table).

Ambitious goals for yesterday: finishing up!

And we made it: Diesel heater installed, connected and on the way to the gas station figured out how to prime it and pump diesel. 15min later: on the road for a „ Camper van dinner“ in the Black Forest.

Great helper: Bosch power tools.
Yeah!!!

Of course I had a risk mitigation strategy prepared: sleeping bags (tested & verified by Charlie). And 2 fire extinguisher. Lol (you may remember the self-installed battery almost on fire not so long ago…).

Great weather but still freezing temperatures in the night.

And a dinner for 3: a four-course-camper-van-dinner in a vineyard. Covid friendly. The only request: come in something drivable including a table and be on time. Here we go! We made it!

Aperitif!
Also on board: Charlie

That’s kind of my COVID lockdown.

Thanks for coming up with amazing creative ideas!!! It’s awesome! Great food. Great wine. Great night. Great company.

And the diesel heater worked (sleeping bags still wrapped & fire extinguisher not needed)! We had constant 22C degrees in our private restaurant (outdoor 2C degrees). Well done, hubby! Ready for the next (winter) trip.
