If you’ve followed my campervan journey from the beginning, you’ll know it started with a dream: to create a tiny, nimble home-on-wheels that could double as my everyday car.  For those who missed my previous adventures, I bought a seven-seater Nissan Serena in 2022 and had it converted to a micro-camper by Pathfinders in Leitrim — they relished the challenge of packing camper essentials into such a small van and installed a rock-n-roll bed, a narrow kitchen unit with sink and camping stove, an electric shower, and a leisure battery system.  The goal was to have a vehicle that could…

I know I’m punching above my weight to be honest — but behind closed doors, I feel constantly undermined.  She makes little jokes at my expense, brushes off my opinions, and anytime I try to bring up how I feel, she says I’m “too sensitive” or “always starting something” and tells me to “act like a man”.
