    Fred is good looking, multi-talented, hard working and clearly, very generous and affable too! His mother is likely very proud of him and deservedly so. It is also very good to hear that someone has been able to overcome cancer and I wish her continued good health.

    Well done. I did the same owning a small caravan (but without the need to renovate) some 40 years ago when I was a Stage and Production Manager travelling the UK. Saved me a fortune. But having everything I needed to live well with me all the time was the greatest benefit. Long summers in Cornwall on a green site and warm winters in a theatre car park plugged into power during pantomime! Couldn't be beaten!! Now enjoy your hard work. Congratulations.

  • @kennywilliams7513
    @kennywilliams7513 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    it's hard work even for someone who is savvy with building... people have to understand that the van needs to be sealed properly roof windows floor, all of it!!! which is a chew. then you have to ensure the electrics are all working, inside and outside, then the gas pipes then when you've done that the hitch and wheels/tyres it's never ending but worth it in the end. Good job 👏

    • @ukdashcamguy500
      @ukdashcamguy500 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      non of which they mention at all ,so someone might copy them and then end up towing an overweight, structurally unsound caravan with no running lights, dodgy electrics, 40-year-old tires, failed wheel bearings, no brakes, and if they do safely arrive dodgy gas pipes will cause a big gas explosion.
      Ch4 is highly irresponsible for showing rubbish like this.

  • @argonaut6386
    @argonaut6386 ปีที่แล้ว +42

    Lovely idea and people. Just wonder if they've ever towed a caravan before though as they have so many loose fixtures, fittings and decor which will soon all be all over the place. You'd need to pack it all away carefully wrapped every trip.
