Hey bestie whats a narrow boat? I saw you tag that on something you reblogged and I'm pretty curious now!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Tumblr media
- Terry Darlington, Narrow Dog to Carcassone
A narrowboat (all one word) is a craft restricted to the British Isles, which are connected all over by a nerve-map of human-made canals. To go up and down hills, the canals are spangled with locks (chambers in which boats can be raised or lowered by filling or emptying them with water.) As Terry says above, the width of the locks was somewhat randomly determined, and as a result, the British Isles have a narrow design of lock - and a narrowboat to fit through them. A classic design was seventy feet long and six feet wide. Starting in the 18th century, and competing directly with trains, canal “barges” were an active means of transport and shipping. They were initially pulled along the towpaths by horses, and you can still see some today!
Tumblr media
Later, engines were developed.
Even after the trains won the arms race, it was a fairly viable freight service right up until WW2. It’s slow travel, but uses few resources and requires little human power, with a fairly small crew (of women, in WW2) being capable of shifting two fully laden boats without consuming much fossil fuel.
In those times the barges were designed with small, cramped cabins in which the boaters and their families could live.
During its heyday the narrowboat community developed a style of folk art called “roses and castles” with clear links to fairground art as well as Romani caravan decor. They are historically decorated with different kinds of brass ornaments, and inside the cabins could also be distinctively painted and decorated.
Today, many narrowboats are distinctively decorated and colorful - even if not directly traditional with “roses and castles” they’ll still be bright and offbeat. A quirky name is necessary. All narrowboats, being boats, are female.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
After a postwar decline, interest in the waterways was sparked by a leisure movement and collapsing canals were repaired. Today, the towpaths are a convenient walking/biking trail for people, as they connect up a lot of the mainland of the UK, hitting towns and cities. Although the restored canals are concrete-bottomed, they’re attractive to wildlife. Narrowboats from the 1970s onward started being designed for pleasure and long-term living. People enjoy vacationing by hiring a boat and visiting towns for a cuter, comfier, slower version of a campervan life. And a liveaboard community sprang up - people who live full-time on boats. Up until the very restrictive and nasty laws recently passed in the UK to make it harder for travelling peoples (these were aimed nastily at vanlivers and the Romani, and successfully hit everyone) this was one of the few legal ways remaining to be a total nomad in the UK.
Liveaboards can moor up anywhere along the canal for 28 days, but have to keep moving every 28 days. (Although sorting out the toilet and loading up with fresh water means that a lot of people move more frequently than that.) you can also live full-time in a marina if they allow it, or purchase your own mooring. In London, where canal boats are one of the few remaining cheapish ways to live, boats with moorings fetch the same prices as houses. It can be very very hard for families to balance school, parking, work, and all the difficulties of living off-grid- but many make it work. It remains a diverse community and is even growing, due to housing pressures in the UK. Boats can be very comfortable, even when only six feet wide. When faced with spending thousands of pounds on rent OR mooring up on a nice canal, you can see why it seems a romantic proposition for young people, and UK television channels always have slice-of-life documentaries about young folks fixing up their very own quirky solar-powered narrowboat. I don’t hate; I did it myself.
If you’re lucky, you might even meet some of the cool folks who run businesses from their narrowboats: canal-side walkers enjoy bookshops, vegan bakeries, ice-cream boats, restaurants, artists and crafters. There are Floating Markets and narrowboat festivals. It’s generally recognised that boaters contribute quite a lot to the canal - yet there are many tensions between different kinds of boaters (liveaboards vs leisure boaters vs tourists) as well as tensions with local settled people, towpath users like cyclists, and fishermen. I could go on and on explaining this rich culture and dramas, but I won’t.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Phillip Pullman’s Gyptians are a commonly cited example of liveaboards - although they were based on the narrowboat liveaboards that Pullman knew in Oxford, their boats are actually Dutch barges. Dutch barges make good homes but are too wide to access most of the midlands and northern canals, and are usually restricted to the south of the UK. So they’re accurate for Bristol/London/Oxford, and barges are definitely comfier to film on. (Being six feet wide is definitely super awkward for a boat.) but in general Dutch barges are less common, more expensive and can’t navigate the whole system.
Tumblr media
However, apart from them, there are few examples of narrowboat depictions that escaped containment. So it’s quite interesting that there is an entire indigenous special class of boat, distinctive and highly specialised and very cute, with an associated culture and heritage and folk art type, known to all and widely celebrated, and ABSOLUTELY UNKNOWN outside of the UK - a nation largely known around the world for inflicting its culture on others. They’re a strange, sweet little secret - and nobody who has ever loved one can resist pointing them out for the rest of their lives, or talking about them when asked to. Thank you for asking me to.

Day 15 Klaine Advent 2022 Pump
Spencer and Alistair had bought their first campervan, and were planning their trip across America after Christmas.
“We need some repairs, so I’ll take it to our local mechanic tomorrow.” Spencer said sensibly.
The friendly mechanic wasted no time in fitting new tires, but then stopped - “Hang on, I need to pump them up, and more lube to finish off.”
The guys giggled.
Rolling his eyes, the man smirked: “You’re as bad as my son and his husband.”
Spencer realised: “Didn’t you marry Mr Hummel and Mr Anderson?”
“Yes, Burt Hummel, mechanic, Congressman and wedding officiant, whichever you require.”

Farewell the Faroes, Hello the UK
Day 35.   Monday, 7 October  
After breakfast and a final bit of packing, we headed to the airport ,a little over an hour away in Vagar.  The rain had almost stopped but the wind was as strong as ever and we saw numerous examples of the most amazing sight as we drove along.   The wind was howling in from the coast and roaring up the steep side of the mountains.  It was so strong that all the waterfalls were flowing up!!!   Instead of falling down the precipice, the wind was flinging them back over the edge of the waterfalls.  At first, we thought the plumes of water were huge steam outlets until we realised what we were actually witnessing.  Not only Sun Dogs but waterrises (inverted waterfalls) too.  What an incredible trip this has been. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Amazing Water-nonfalls.
We sat in the airport carpark for a while and used Messenger to ring some of the family - those who we thought might still be awake.  It was great to hear some Aussie accents and talk direct with our kids. 
We then returned the car and reported the damage and now just need to wait for the bill.  Damage like ours must happen a bit because the guy never blinked when I reported the damage and we saw a few other cars with broken wing mirrors from time to time.  (It ended up at almost $AU1700 – hard to imagine, but it is impossible to argue. I wonder how our travel insurance will wriggle out of this one?)
Our invoice will also include quite a bit for tunnel tolls too - the car is fitted with something akin to an Etag that records when you use any submarine tunnels, and we will be billed for them when they send us the bill for the side mirror.  Above-sea level tunnels are not tolled. I thought it cute that the Faroese warning as you approach each tunnel is Tunnelin, but nowhere did I see a Tunnelout.  I hope we are not still in one in some sort of parallel universe.
We bought some more good Australian wine in the Duty-Free shop and in due course boarded our half empty plane and arrived in Edinburgh an hour or so later.  We met Harry with whom we have had many emails, and collected our campervan after doing some additional paperwork.   And off we went on yet another adventure with the right side of the road now being the wrong side.  How will I ever cope?   Maybe good practice for when we get back home.  We seem to have experienced so much already this trip that it seems to have been a long one.  I hope Australia hasn’t decided to drive on the other side of the road while we have been away and unable to keep things under proper control.  
Summary of Phase 2
How can I summarise our time in the Faroes?
Overall, ‘fantastic’ is the first word that comes to mind.  Beginning to end, we thoroughly enjoyed it, despite a hiccup or two.   We went to the northernmost and southernmost points, and the scenery was simply wonderful wherever we ventured: green and lush, with steep mountains to the sky.  And at least half the world’s waterfalls must reside there.  The dinky villages are delightful and the millions of sheep very photogenic.  There were surprisingly few birds and no other wildlife at all.  The only downside (apart from the car mirror) was that I dropped my binoculars at one point and, although they are still usable, some repairs will be required when we get home.
The people are great, very friendly and completely happy to switch to English as soon as they see the first sign that you are lost or not understanding something - that was quite helpful on occasion.  
The roads are very varied - all single or two lanes and ranging from excellent at 80 kph to hugely daunting at 10.  The tunnels are obviously necessary, but they all stressed me immensely, even the best of them.  They are probably all fine, but I was not used to them and most of the driving was stressful, particularly on the many wheel-wide precipitous mountain goat-tracks.  All the road signs are in a secret Faroese code to confuse the navigator - but would I go back?   Definitely, preferably in Spring or Summer, although that is the busy tourist season, so it could be crowded. 
And now for some photos from the fabulous Faroes.

Enhance Your Ride with Expert Suspension Upgrades
When it comes to off-roading or enhancing the overall performance of your vehicle, a suspension lift kit is one of the most impactful modifications you can make. At Revolution Autocare, we specialize in suspension upgrades, including lift kits, that elevate your vehicle’s performance, safety, and appearance. Whether you’re navigating rugged terrains or simply want to make a bold statement on the road, understanding how lift kits work and their benefits is essential.
What is a Suspension Lift Kit?
A suspension lift kit is a modification that raises the overall height of your SUV or truck, increasing the distance between the chassis and the ground. This added ground clearance helps your vehicle avoid obstacles during off-road adventures, making it easier to navigate rocky paths, deep ruts, and other challenging terrains. There are two main types of lift kits:
Body Lift Kits: These kits raise the body of your vehicle by a few inches without altering the suspension system. They are ideal for drivers who want a higher ride without a significant change in the vehicle’s handling.
Suspension Lift Kits: These kits raise the suspension itself, offering greater ground clearance and the ability to install larger tires. This type of lift is perfect for serious off-road enthusiasts who require enhanced performance and durability.
Benefits of Installing a Suspension Lift Kit
1. Improved Handling and Stability
One of the primary benefits of a suspension lift kit is improved handling and stability. A well-tuned suspension system ensures your vehicle remains steady and responsive, even when navigating sharp turns or uneven terrain. This is especially important for 4×4 vehicles and off-road enthusiasts, as it allows for better control in challenging conditions. Adding a 4×4 lift kit further enhances this by providing better ground clearance, making tackling rugged trails and obstacles easier.
2. Enhanced Comfort
Upgrading your suspension system can significantly enhance the comfort of your ride. With a more advanced suspension, your vehicle will be better equipped to absorb shocks and bumps on the road, reducing vibrations and ensuring a smoother driving experience. This is particularly beneficial for long-distance travellers, such as those towing caravans or driving campervans, as it can reduce driver fatigue and make the journey more enjoyable.
3. Increased Towing Capacity
A suspension upgrade is essential for those who frequently tow heavy loads, such as caravans or trailers. Enhanced suspension systems are designed to handle increased weight, providing better support and reducing the risk of sagging or swaying. This not only improves the safety of your vehicle but also ensures a more stable and controlled towing experience. When paired with a 4×4 lift kit, your vehicle gains the additional strength needed to tow heavier loads more effectively.
4. Extended Vehicle Lifespan
A high-quality suspension system can also extend the lifespan of your vehicle’s mechanical components. By reducing the strain on your vehicle’s chassis and other parts, a suspension upgrade can help prevent wear and tear, ultimately saving you money on repairs and maintenance in the long run. Lift kits, by providing extra clearance, also protect the undercarriage from potential damage during off-road driving.
5. Better Off-Road Performance
For 4×4 enthusiasts, suspension upgrades and lift kits are game-changers. Upgrading your suspension allows your vehicle to easily tackle rough terrains, providing better ground clearance, improved traction, and greater stability. Whether exploring the great outdoors or navigating challenging trails, a suspension upgrade combined with a 4×4 lift kit will ensure your vehicle is up to the task.
Revolution Autocare: Your Suspension Specialists
At Revolution Autocare, we have a team of specialists who are dedicated to assessing your suspension needs and fitting your vehicle with the ideal suspension upgrade. Whether you aim to improve off-road clearances, increase load and towing capacity, or enhance general performance under extreme conditions, we’ve got you covered. We work with major brands, including Dobinsons, to ensure your vehicle delivers maximum performance in all conditions.
Our experts will evaluate your specific requirements and recommend the best suspension solutions, including the full range of Dobinsons 4×4 accessories now available. Whether you need a 2-inch lift for better maneuverability or a more substantial upgrade, we ensure your vehicle is equipped to handle whatever the road—or the trail—throws at you.
FAQs About Suspension Lift Kits
What are the benefits of a 2-inch lift?
A 2-inch lift is a popular choice among 4×4 enthusiasts because it provides additional ground clearance without significantly altering the vehicle’s centre of gravity. This minimises wear and tear on the vehicle while offering a lift’s benefits. Depending on your vehicle, you might also consider a 4-inch lift for older, solid axle models to achieve even greater clearance.
Do I need a wheel alignment after installing a lift kit?
Yes, you should always get a wheel alignment after installing a lift kit or performing any type of suspension work. Proper alignment ensures that your tires wear evenly and that your vehicle handles safely and predictably.
Is it worth getting a lift kit?
Absolutely! A suspension lift kit provides a safety advantage by improving visibility and allowing you to navigate obstacles better. The added ground clearance also enhances off-road performance, making your adventures safer and more enjoyable.
Does a lift kit make a difference?
Yes, a lift kit can significantly improve performance and aesthetics. It increases ground clearance, allows for larger tires, and enhances your vehicle’s off-road capabilities. However, it’s important to consider the potential changes in handling, especially at higher speeds.
Should I lift or level my truck?
Lifting your truck gives you 3-6 inches of elevation, increasing ground clearance and allowing for the installation of bigger tires. However, remember that lifting raises the center of gravity, which can affect stability. Leveling kits, on the other hand, are designed to correct your vehicle’s stance by raising the front end to match the rear, which can be a simpler and more cost-effective solution if you’re not looking for a significant height increase.
Why Choose Revolution Autocare for Your Suspension Lift Kit?
At Revolution Autocare, we pride ourselves on our expertise and dedication to quality. Our experienced technicians understand the intricacies of suspension systems and will ensure that your lift kit is installed correctly and safely. We work with leading brands to offer you the best products available, whether you’re looking for a modest 2-inch lift or a more substantial suspension upgrade.
We also offer a price match guarantee, ensuring that you get the best value for your money. If you find a lower quote for the same service, we’ll match it—no compromises on quality or service.

Maximizing my Earnings: How to Rent Out my Campervan
Renting out your campervan can be a lucrative venture if approached strategically. With the growing popularity of road trips and outdoor adventures, many people are seeking the freedom and flexibility that a campervan offers. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you maximize your earnings by renting out your campervan.
Tumblr media
Understanding the Market
Before diving into the rental process, it's crucial to understand the current market trends. The demand for campervans fluctuates based on seasons, regional popularity, and current travel trends. To get a sense of the market, research similar campervans in your area to determine their rental rates, availability, and occupancy. This will help you position your campervan competitively and make informed decisions about pricing and marketing.
Preparing Your Campervan
To attract renters and ensure a smooth rental experience, your campervan must be in excellent condition. Start by performing a thorough inspection of the vehicle. Check for any mechanical issues, such as engine performance, brakes, and tires. Ensure that all essential systems, including plumbing, electrical, and heating, are functioning properly.
The interior of your campervan should be clean, well-organized, and inviting. Consider investing in minor upgrades or repairs to enhance comfort and aesthetics. This might include new upholstery, a fresh coat of paint, or upgraded amenities like a modern kitchen setup or comfortable bedding. A well-maintained and attractive campervan will not only impress potential renters but also justify higher rental rates.
Legal and Insurance Considerations
Rent my campervan involves legal and insurance considerations that you must address before listing it. Verify that you have the appropriate insurance coverage to protect both yourself and your renters. This may involve obtaining additional rental insurance or ensuring that your existing policy covers rental activities.
It's also essential to comply with local regulations and licensing requirements. Different regions may have specific rules regarding vehicle rentals, including tax obligations and safety inspections. Familiarize yourself with these regulations to avoid any legal issues and ensure a smooth rental process.
Setting the Right Rental Price
Determining the optimal rental price for your campervan requires balancing profitability with competitiveness. Use your market research to gauge the pricing of similar campervans. Consider factors such as the age and condition of your campervan, its unique features, and the duration of the rental.
You can choose between a daily, weekly, or monthly rental rate, depending on the preferences of your target audience. Offering discounts for longer rentals can attract more customers and increase your overall occupancy rate. Regularly review and adjust your pricing strategy based on demand and seasonal trends to maximize your earnings.
Creating an Attractive Listing
An appealing and detailed listing is crucial for attracting potential renters. Start with high-quality photos that showcase the exterior and interior of your campervan. Ensure that the images highlight its best features and provide a clear view of the living space.
In your listing description, provide comprehensive information about the campervan, including its size, sleeping arrangements, kitchen facilities, and any additional amenities. Be honest about the condition of the vehicle and any potential limitations to manage renter expectations.
Incorporate keywords that potential renters might use when searching for a campervan rental. This will help your listing appear in relevant search results and increase its visibility.
Marketing Your Campervan
Effective marketing is key to driving rental bookings. Utilize online platforms and social media to reach a broader audience. List your campervan on popular rental websites and apps that specialize in vehicle rentals or outdoor adventures. These platforms often offer features to enhance your listing's visibility and attract potential renters.
Leverage social media to promote your campervan. Create engaging content that showcases the experiences renters can enjoy while traveling in your campervan. Share testimonials from satisfied customers, post updates about any special offers, and interact with your audience to build a loyal following.
Consider collaborating with influencers or travel bloggers who can help promote your campervan to their followers. Their endorsements can significantly increase your visibility and credibility in the market.
Managing Bookings and Customer Service
Efficient management of bookings and customer service is essential for maintaining a positive reputation and ensuring repeat business. Implement a booking system that allows for easy reservation management and communication with renters. Respond promptly to inquiries and provide clear information about the rental process.
During the rental period, maintain open lines of communication with your renters. Address any issues or concerns they may have and offer assistance as needed. Providing excellent customer service will enhance the overall rental experience and increase the likelihood of positive reviews and repeat bookings.
Maintaining and Cleaning the Campervan
Regular maintenance and cleaning are crucial for preserving the condition of your campervan and ensuring renter satisfaction. After each rental, perform a thorough cleaning of the interior and exterior. Address any minor repairs or maintenance tasks promptly to prevent larger issues from arising.
Create a checklist for routine maintenance tasks, including oil changes, tire inspections, and system checks. Schedule these tasks regularly to keep your campervan in optimal condition and minimize downtime between rentals.
Handling Finances and Taxes
Properly managing your rental income and expenses is essential for maximizing your earnings. Keep accurate records of all rental transactions, including income, expenses, and any additional fees. This will help you track your profitability and prepare for tax obligations.
Consult with a financial advisor or accountant to understand the tax implications of renting out your campervan. They can provide guidance on tax deductions, reporting requirements, and strategies for optimizing your financial management.
Evaluating and Improving Your Rental Business
Continuously evaluate the performance of your rental business and seek opportunities for improvement. Gather feedback from renters to identify areas for enhancement and address any recurring issues. Analyze your financial performance to determine if adjustments to pricing, marketing, or operational procedures are necessary.
Stay informed about industry trends and evolving customer preferences to remain competitive in the market. Adapt your strategies as needed to meet changing demands and maintain a successful rental business.
Conclusion
Renting out your campervan can be a profitable and rewarding venture with the right approach. By understanding the market, preparing your campervan, addressing legal and insurance considerations, setting competitive rental prices, and implementing effective marketing and management strategies, you can maximize your earnings and create a successful rental business. With careful planning and attention to detail, you can enjoy the financial benefits of sharing your campervan with others while contributing to their memorable travel experiences.
