Love this man, I’m so tempted to try it
Great vlog, always good to have an idea of costs, not always talked about. I know everyone will have different budgets but it gives a good middle ball-park figure
😀👍
Thank you guys!! 😄🚐❤️ thank you for watching as always! 😄😄🚐❤️❤️
Thank you for that gives a great idea of costs. We are looking to go full time very soon. Your pros and cons are so true. I use search for sites too. Ste & Suz
Amazing! That’s great news, Good luck you guys! We hope you love it and this video was helpful for you! 😄🚐❤️
Good luck to the both of you and safe travels.
Thank you very much John! Thank you for watching 😁👍🏻🚐
Awesome video guys nice to see someone talking about the funds side of van life as no one seems to talk about that 👍 I'd cancel that pet insurance though as they always try and get out of paying I don't pay for any insurance that I don't have to have buy law just put £20 a month in a separate account next should definitely be a lt35 gang camp out in the woods 😜 🤙
I’ve just started looking into van life and this is the best video I’ve seen yet. Loved it
Thank you so much chad! We appreciate your support, 😁🙌🚐
Good video, but please get rid of the music.
Thanks for this great video 👍
Thank you so much for watching! 🚐😁
Ahhh, yes just insured for the first time on my 95% complete camper. Went with Adrian flux as well and got all the breakdown cover and the 6 month European insurance. Seems very good.
That’s brilliant! I think we’ve got that european insurance too that’s a great extra isn’t it! 🙌😁🚐
Next vid should be how you afford these costs imho. Good luck building up your subs
You two are wicked 👍
Good luck with your journey guys.
Been waffling for about two years about doing this myself.
But always umming and arrin about it. Peace ✌️ willow is da nuts. 😂
Haha same here but I'm getting closer. And I want a proper RV with shower and everything and for me it would be early retirement and not having to worry about money or working.
So my goal is in 3 to 7 years when i'm 55 I sell the house and everything I have, buy a nice RV, not too big but with all creature comforts and start driving around Europe.
Need about 150k to do that comfortably, so i have to be patient.
House prices and stocks need to go up with an average of 3% each year and I'm golden in 5 years. :)
And till then I have to save up as much money as possible to get a proper RV need around 35k here to get a decent one.
Great video thanks ! How do you manage with getting post delivered or having a GP ? Thanks i have subscribed.
Thank you so much for the support joye! Post we use either a post locker, I know some people use a P.O. Box or a friends house. Lately as we’ve been in Cornwall we get post delivered to bills work!😁
Great information guys what do you both do for a living on the road?
Thanks Andrew! We appreciate your lovely comment. Billy is a barber and I am a social media manager, we also earn a little bit of money from our TH-cam TikTok and Instagram 🚐❤️
Hi guys, thanks for the video. Really helpful! I have one quick question, do you normally pay for parking overnight? Or pay for parking in general? Or do you tend to find free parking?
some spots require parking but usually we stick to free parking spots ❤️🙌
How do you fund your van life?
£120 month at 24 is cheap I'm currently paying £2200 a year on a normal 09 plate van and I'm 33
Don't think you said road tax price . Yes all different but much is yours ! Cheers
Can I ask how you make your money to pay for living in your van? 😀Not being nosy just curious
Thank you for your comment Claire! Absolutely we will do a video on this soon!😄❤️👍🏻🚐
After buying the van and setting it up, is there a yearly tax you have to pay on it ?
We pay our road tax yearly which works out about £130 😁🚐🙌🧡
Hi
Good vid I just subscribed but really hated that background music it would put me off if this is the norm.
Noted thanks for subscribing!🚐🙌😁❤️
If you have a vanlife ….. DO NOT go with the AA, they picked our vehicle up, put it on a truck to go home (2hrs) but then abandoned it half-hour up the road, at the side of the road. Then left it for two days, each time telling us it was being picked up in an hour or two, went on for 45 hours and the vehicle got smashed into, left somewhere we would never had left it. We got AA cover so a broken down vehicle was NOT left on a road. Now won’t take any responsibility for their negligence and liability. Beyond stressful and left us totally abandoned!!!
Bloody hell! So sorry to hear that mate, we learned the hard way with AA last week! Our new video premiering tonight covers it. Hope you got some compensation for the experience they gave you! That’s terrible. We can only imagine how stressful that was! 😢
Why the heck have a dog in a van, goodness gracious
She has the best life! Her garden is endless and she’s always outside having adventures with us instead of being shut inside for hours like she would be in a house 🤷🏼♀️
Why not!!
My dog lived in a tent so what the dog will have a great life there honestly keep your mundane opinions to yourself
A good complimentary video would be "how we make money living on the road" or something like that? I follow you guys on Instagram too so know a little bit about what you do, but being inherently nosy would be great to find out some more! I'm also just starting out buying and selling vintage homeware so I'm interested to know Leanne how you do it? Take care x
Thanks so much for your comment Joanna and your support! Means so much to us, that’s a great idea we will definitely do that!😄👍🏻 oh fantastic! Good luck with the homeware you will love it! It’s so fun collecting and selling little trinkets 😄❤️🚐x
@@billyandleanne thanks love! The only problem is wanting to keep everything for myself! Looking forward to your next video 😘🤙🏻
