A full-time van lifer made a call out for assistance today (Friday 19 January) after his campervan came off a Scottish road.
He spent the night in his campervan, stuck in ditch after It left the A9 Causewaymire road in yesterday’s blizzards.
Trampus Egerton posted a message on a Facebook group called Caithness Road Watch to ask for assistance around 10am today.
His post reads: “Does anyone know of a breakdown company that can come out to me asap?

“I’m in a lwb Iveco at the Cathie Mara [sic] wind farm.
“Been trying to get a breakdown wagon to tow or winch me out all day but the two company’s I phoned have been attending gritter trucks and HGVs.
“I am about a foot from the side of the road on a 30 degree angle almost in a deeper ditch.
“The van is my home so I won’t leave it, its dangerous for me to stay in it tonight if someone else slips into me.
“If anyone has a large tractor or a plus 7.5 ton recovery wagon or knows someone that can help tonight or in the morning it would be massively appreciated.”

Haha that’s funny, should learn how to drive first and that’s the problem. most people have no idea about driving in the snow as they come from southern England.
