when you was in the UK you should have visited our Norfolk Broads which is a wet land area for boats to cruise on the rivers which is all man made, and in particular you should have gone to a place called Horsey and gone down to the beach where you would have been able to watch the seals basking on the beach
Great Video Karen. I especially enjoyed the McNeills interview, what a lovely couple with a great mindset. I totally agree that young peoples views have now changed on life and what is ‘Normal’ prioroties arent now on buying houses etc. People have been so set in their ways in the past. i did a loty of travelling in my 30’s but settled into family life now, however my 5 year old boy and wife love the Caravanning life and adventuring so its a compromise.
That was a lovely video Karen. It’s nice hear other people’s opinions of caravans and how they use them. My caravan is on a seasonal pitch and I could easily live there all the time if I didn’t work, I never miss my house apart from the bath, I love having a bath every now and then, but apart from that I think a caravan as everything you need. I’ve seen a few of bobs videos, they go to a lot of sites and they are interesting to see. It’s always a pleasure to watch you videos, you have a relaxing personality which is always a treat when watching a You tube channel.
Ah that’s great to hear you’re such a fan of caravans. Yes, it’s always interesting to hear about the different ways people RV - like having a seasonal pitch!
Very good, really enjoyed it. A special license to pull a caravan, wow. You can drive pretty much anything in the US as long as it's not for hire. Then you would need a special add-on to your license depending on what it might be.
Another nice interview from folks that have a lot of different experiences. Very nice indeed. And as always the scenery you have shown is just stunning...thanks again Vic
Great to hear this couple doing something different to the norm. But in Ireland u pay at least 30e per night for stopover so would turn out expensive too (800+ per month). And if u park along roadside or parks, the council move u on.
Hi TK was just thinking about where you had driven to had a quick look 5am and found your post, lovely people really divers ages & travel styles, tks for sharing made going to work a bit easier though now will drift off to travels I might have LOL.
Cae Mawr is my favourite site, been going for years😄 If you wondered (while you were walking) the small object on the island with the ball on top lines up with the two tall structures on the cliff top opposite for ships to follow in the days before satellite navigation. You line all three up, then you won't hit the rocks.
If you're still in the UK you might want to think about buying a new pump for your toilet and see if that helps the flow. Seems to be around 30 NZ Dollar cheaper in the UK (about 90-95 NZD in NZ and 58-62 NZD in the uk) Spare part nr 2373962 (62 is the color and might not be used by all dealers so 23739 is the same).
It looks very warm there Karen, back home here its just now starting to warm up, 17 degrees predicted today in the Hutt. Bob and Lina. 0801hrs Tuesday Sept 3.2019.
Who's stalking who? That's the 2nd time you've met Bob, Jenny & Poppy. I like Jamie & Stacey's Border Collie (used to have one myself). I was in Colwyn Bay during the August Bank Holiday and only got as far as Bangor! I'm going back there this coming weekend (7th-8th September 2019). I've also subscribed to Jamie and Stacey's channel.

@@TravellingK me being a cheapskate, I thought hiring a trade van to travel around in to find a narrowboat was a good compromise to keep costs down. But if their not allowed, I have to rethink it. Loving your tour of the UK by the way. Scotland is a gem, will you get up that far? Cheers Paul
Hello! Some sites can be fussy about trade vans, though an increasing number of people are using them as tow cars nowadays so it’s becoming less of an issue. Give them a call and explain your circumstances and I’m sure that you’ll be fine.
David Rand You have our sympathies! We only started putting out more content after Karen encouraged us to! Perhaps I should encourage you in the way Karen did for us... Here’s a challenge for you - Record a 1 minute video for TH-cam. One take, from your phone on anything caravan themed you like! Go!
Sure is! Stacey belly dances and makes her own costumes. She doesn’t have anything on TH-cam about it, but she does over on Instagram: instagram.com/curvycostumeboutique?igshid=qiqw9nz28dsx
Phil I think Karen flimed it before she went over to Germany, due to time constraints she probably had to get over quickly for the start of the caravan show.
@@TravellingK we live in our bus in nz. We have a dog English bull terrier. There is no better friend to have. Lots of walks all ways happy to see ya. A lil sercurity as well
I think if all your clothes and belongings are in the caravan, then that’s your home. The great thing about caravanning is you can easily lock’n’leave for trips away 😀
We’re fearful of change! We use one as it allows us still to pour liquids down the sink whilst the bowl is full. Otherwise we’d be dirtying our washing up water 👍
Shane Anderson Sure they are, but due to us having smaller properties, many people don’t have room for them. Likewise, many of our caravans are far smaller than those that you can get in the USA (which is where I’m assuming you’re from - sorry if I’m wrong!) so a double sink would simply take up far too much room!
Tom P hellooo, well that depends on what YOU want in your van, & yes there are many that only have a Porto potty, , no shower, OH well, Cheers From NJ, USA🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧🇺🇸

Thanks a nice chilled video, gave people a good feel of the area. Lovely to meet you.
And so great to meet you both too 😀

Hi Scott, peoples priorities do seem to be changing. Sounds like you still manage to travel with a caravan?
Interesting and different vlog Karen, nice one. Your stamina and enthusiasm to keep moving is amazing.
I was starting to get a little tired by then 🤣 Fast paced trip!
That was a lovely video Karen. It’s nice hear other people’s opinions of caravans and how they use them.

A great video...So many nice places on Anglesey and Cemlyn is up there with the best. 🏴
And wish I had longer to explore!!
Travelling K ..next time 😂

I find it so interesting how RVing is different in each country. We're fine until it's so big that you need a truck license.
Interesting little island with its history and all. Would like to visit one day.
Wish I’d had more time to explore it!
Another nice interview from folks that have a lot of different experiences. Very nice indeed. And as always the scenery you have shown is just stunning...thanks again Vic
I did enjoy meeting everyone there 😀

Enjoying your videos , I myself am looking for my first caravan in the uk , and watching your videos is very inspiring, many thanks 🙏🏻 .
Oh that’s so great to hear! I’m a fan of caravans 😉
Hi TK was just thinking about where you had driven to had a quick look 5am and found your post, lovely people really divers ages & travel styles, tks for sharing made going to work a bit easier though now will drift off to travels I might have LOL.
Glad you enjoyed the different interviews. Hope work was ok!!
Woah ...thank you for the walk around by the beach/ocean WoW !! : )
All cobwebs were blown away 🤣
Cae Mawr is my favourite site, been going for years😄

Oh that’s interesting about the navigation!
Well done for doing all this before 2020
Hiya K. Been watching your videos for a few months now only just subbed today cause I thought I'd already done it lol. Hope your enjoying the UK.👋
Oh thank you! haha. Yes, the trips been great, and it's nearing the end.
Caught up on your vids. Looks like it has been a nice time in the UK despite the narrow roads.
Yes, haha, overall it’s been amazing!
Me and my girlfriend are only 30 and have a caravan , live in Wales but we are always the youngest on the campsite lol
Beautiful movie thank you !!!
Glad you enjoyed it 😀

Good idea! I need to check if I have any room in my bag first... but it makes sense!
It looks very warm there Karen, back home here its just now starting to warm up, 17 degrees predicted today in the Hutt.
Bob and Lina. 0801hrs Tuesday Sept 3.2019.
The temperature has jumped all over the place here.
A very informative video on camping in a van and I am living looking at your travels around England. Thanks. Still with you. Ring my bell.
Glad you found it informative 😀😀
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed 😀

Question for you, re caravan parks.
I have heard they will not allow white trade Van's.
I ask because hiring a trade van is much cheaper than a camper. Just need a mattress in the back.
In the UK? Hmmm I’m honestly not sure. I’ve seen some campervans with the pop-up roof.
@@TravellingK me being a cheapskate, I thought hiring a trade van to travel around in to find a narrowboat was a good compromise to keep costs down. But if their not allowed, I have to rethink it.
Loving your tour of the UK by the way. Scotland is a gem, will you get up that far?
Cheers Paul
I'd maybe suggest asking Bus & Beyond? I'm sure they would know :)
Hello! Some sites can be fussy about trade vans, though an increasing number of people are using them as tow cars nowadays so it’s becoming less of an issue. Give them a call and explain your circumstances and I’m sure that you’ll be fine.
Great video! Loved Stacey - she speaks 100mph!
I have literally never heard anyone speak faster.
Stacey is seriously lovely 😀
Rastas Rotties haha! Unsurprisingly you’re not the first person to have told me that! 😆
I'm 35 and have a caravan love it away every other weekend normally
You don't have to be old to have a caravan
I agree that you don’t need to be old to have a caravan 😀😀 Great to hear you’re loving it
Hi David,
We’ve added you to our subbed list but notice that you haven’t got any content. Would be great to hear from other ‘young’ caravanners!
@@TheMcNeillsonWheels sorry we keep talking about starting to record and create a channel but never get round it
David Rand You have our sympathies! We only started putting out more content after Karen encouraged us to!
Perhaps I should encourage you in the way Karen did for us...
Here’s a challenge for you - Record a 1 minute video for TH-cam. One take, from your phone on anything caravan themed you like!
Go!
@@TheMcNeillsonWheels I work away during the week I'll accept the challenge it will be done at the weekend when I'm home with the family
You should come over to Waiheke this summer
That would be fun!!
Love the beach. Great video.
A great wild area 😀
Very good vlog. ..Alan. .
Glad you enjoyed it 😀
I hear many using that background tune. what is the title? check out Mountain Spring High by Gavin Luke
I used a few songs from YT audio. Will have a look 😀
Welcome To Anglesey
Glad I made it!
Nice pic on the wall. Is that a bellydance outfit?
Oh I’m not sure! The pics were a really nice idea.
Sure is! Stacey belly dances and makes her own costumes. She doesn’t have anything on TH-cam about it, but she does over on Instagram: instagram.com/curvycostumeboutique?igshid=qiqw9nz28dsx
After caravaning in the UK, you should be ready to come campering in Canada, eh?
Hehe I’m keen to head that way one day!!
Another good video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
You were in Dusseldorf now back to Anglesey. Why are you avoiding meeting your friends in Norfolk?
Phil I think Karen flimed it before she went over to Germany, due to time constraints she probably had to get over quickly for the start of the caravan show.
I’m already so behind in my videos!! I was in Wales in July 🤷♀️
Wwwwww not far from where I live 😃.
Hi K
Hope the U.K. roads are being kinder to you?
I’m getting the hang of them!
No motorhome is complete without a dog. They love the life
Now I want a dog too 😀😀
@@TravellingK we live in our bus in nz. We have a dog English bull terrier. There is no better friend to have. Lots of walks all ways happy to see ya. A lil sercurity as well
If Jamie & Stacey are going to South Africa this winter *for a month* then they are hardly living in a caravan full-time!
Hardly? That's like saying if you leave your house for a month to go camping you're hardly living in a house fulltime!
I think if all your clothes and belongings are in the caravan, then that’s your home. The great thing about caravanning is you can easily lock’n’leave for trips away 😀
🤣😂
Why do the English use those plastic tubs in the kitchen sink ??
Yeah, I'm not 100% sure🤣
We’re fearful of change!
We use one as it allows us still to pour liquids down the sink whilst the bowl is full. Otherwise we’d be dirtying our washing up water 👍
The McNeills on Wheels double sinks not available in UK ?
Shane Anderson Sure they are, but due to us having smaller properties, many people don’t have room for them.
Likewise, many of our caravans are far smaller than those that you can get in the USA (which is where I’m assuming you’re from - sorry if I’m wrong!) so a double sink would simply take up far too much room!
The McNeills on Wheels
No worries. I’m in Australia . Lol.
live your life the way you choose, be happy. good video, chris from yorks.
Hi Chris, nicely put!
Shut up you melt.
😎
Yes the property market is rigged to keep the banks rich . Travelling life is the best . Be free from debt
I'm a fan of debt free!
Don't forget, the van lifers might be hip, but they pee in a bottle and do number two in a carrier bag. So I'm told.
Haha I’m a fan of caravans 😜
How’d you find out the content of our next vlog??? You should have put ‘spoiler alert’ first!
Tom P hellooo, well that depends on what YOU want in your van, & yes there are many that only have a Porto potty, , no shower, OH well, Cheers From NJ, USA🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧🇺🇸
What is it with this banjo music. The narrow boaters use this very song and it's sickening. Unsubscribing.
Sorry to hear you’re going. I tend to always change my music so it’s not always the same.
I like the music u use Karen. Suits the videos
