Looking at the wreck OMG Your Guardian angels were truly with your Trev 👊 Pat🥰 That must have been awful returning 🥲 Bless Ya Both Hugz xx 👊👍🚐🏴🦋🥰
You said “how to be cheerful after seeing that” and you must be cheerful and thankful you both are alive with so little injuries. Thank goodness. It is a true miracle you both are ok when you see the vehicle. Lots to cheerful and thankful about. ❤
It’s so hard to watch you go through the stress of seeing your home. I can see how hard it affects you both. Give yourselves credit for having the strength to even go to it this soon. I am so proud of you both and admire you so much. My goal is to have a van by October of this year as my home. You are my hero’s!
Oh good grief, don't make us your heroes, we are a stumbling couple stumbling through life the best we can. I hope you do get your van and live in it, and put two fingers up to the establishment by so doing.
You are both so lucky to have survived I had tears when you showed the inside. On a brighter note how lovely is the scallop shell painting such a thoughtful gesture
Gosh what an awful sight for you both seeing your lovely RV all torn up and ruined. Such a terrible shock for you both. Tracey did a wonderful job retrieving so many things for you, fingers crossed that when next she goes into the RV she will be able to salvage more of your possessions for you. You are very fortunate that you don’t have worse injuries and can look forward to life on the road once more. Thinking of you both and your family. Take care, stay safe and speedy recovery. Judy🇨🇦🇨🇦
Don't stress about your bits and pieces.... the insurance will cover everything. It might be beneficial for you to start listing absolutely every item you had and get prices for buying new.
Looking at the photos of the van and seeing you both walking and talking makes me believe in miracles once more. I had a miracle too. I was 32 and a mother of four. I worked 3-11PM as a nurse. I was driving home and a drunk driver sped through a red light. I saw him for just enough time to slam on my brakes. I hit him and the front of my station wagon looked like your van. The force of the collision knocked down a power line. I was in shock too. But I remember that it was as if an angel had its arms around me and held me tightly against the seat. This was before seat belts! In 1971. I remember getting out of the car and walking across the power line in the street to the horror of the people who had rushed out of their homes when they heard the crash. My only injury was a scrape on my knee from the keys in the ignition and sore arms from my tight grip on the steering wheel. I am 85 this year. I now have 4 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. I thank God each morning for the gift of another day. I thank you both for reminding me of miracles❤Sylvia
Hi both. Well what can we say. My wife and I have been avid watchers of you both since 2020. When we sit down for our meal in the evening you are there with us in our living room as a must see couple. We feel that we are so much alike in so many ways, [Age as well] We are so sorry for what has happened to you both and thank god you are still hear to put out your videos. Be well and safe and feel the genuine love and respect that so many have for you. Alison and Graham.
Alison & Graham, what a lovely comment. Your right, we have much love and respect from our viewers it's impossible to ignore it. We have no excuse for not continuing with our vlogs, despite everything that has happened. Thank you for YOUR support. ❤️
Sending love, big hugs and positive vibes over to you today ❤ x Tracy is an absolute star 🌟 and you certainly have Guardian Angel's looking over your shoulder.Just a thought it's possible the fire brigade cut out your gas bottles for safety/ fire reasons when they first arrived, then just chucked them back in afterwards. Rae x
Oh, What an ordeal for you both..but best to think you were both so lucky to get out of that alive, That will bring you down today but you will both bounce back ! Lots of love to you xxx❤❤
This had me crying😢 What a terrible sight for u to have to see. Our house burned when the girls were young. I understand, it feels like the rug has been ( pulled from under your feet) But, you two are strong in love and life. It will get better❤
Hi Trevor Hi Pat im new to your channel. Big hugs to you both. Just remember its not your fault the other guy will pay for this. Just keep a note of how your feeling. Your get compenstion for your injuries. It wont affect your ins at all. Just keep notes of what you remember etc. Delayed shock etc. Xxx❤🎉😊
Hi Trev & Pat , I've been following your TH-cam channel for around 12mths and always enjoyed watching your vlogs. I was so shocked to hear about the accident, but relieved to see that you both had minor injuries. Wishing you all the best for the insurance claim and hope your back on the road again soon.
Wow,How you got out of there without serious injuries I don’t know..I’m so pleased that you are recovering from the injuries that you did get.Please take care of yourselves as the shock of what you have been through must be awful.Love seeing the updates that you are putting up.Take care of each other.xxx
It’s not your time yet Trevor there’s still some valuable jobs you have to complete here. I was with a friend in a house fire that looked as bad with people chucking stuff all over the place and loads of stuff went missing too😡. I hope you find your purse eventually Pat and phone amongst the debris but if not don’t worry too much the culprit awaits their karma that’s for sure. Take care you two lovely people.❤
Horrible damage done to van. It looks like it has been looted in the back. You two are so lucky to come out unscathed. I look forward to hearing you guys wishes and dreams for what you want to do next. Short term and long term. I am sure you don't want to rush into too soon. So many things to see and do yet. Time to come up with new plans.
After being that I don't know how yous are managing to not be in tears I feel for yous and so happy you are both alright .the god lord was watching over you both .
Its a miracle you are both got away from that van. I was so shocked when I saw that video. I am so glad you are both ok. At least you manged to get a fair bit of stuff. The big question is did you get your shaving cream? 🤣 (to make light of an awful situation) Stay positive ❤
It was a shocking experience Dinah, Pat became ill in the afternoon, but she is better now, so don't worry. We will get through it, and you are right, it is going to take time.
Hi Trev and pat so sad to see your beautiful van in such a mess! But you are both safe so that's all that matters! The van will hopefully be replaced but neither of you two lovely people can not! All the best love Dave and Bonita
Best wishes again from motorhome people ,shocked at how bad the van was ,the forces to move all that stuff is scary ,but on brighter note a lovely gift from your freind take care from motorhomer .
Take it easy for a few days - that was quite a shock for you all, no wonder Pat was unwell and you looked dazed by it too - bit too much reality so soon xx
We are a strange couple, Pat & I, we don't know what people know, we are oblivious of even our own bodies, we plunge ahead without a care, only to discover we are not that prepared after all. Too much too soon. Everyone knows except Pat and I. Well we know now, will it make us rest and take it easy? Maybe.
Very upsetting seeing your van in that state, that was even worse than I imagined it would be. How you both got out so unscathed is amazing. At least you've managed to get some stuff out, but what carnage. Tracey is such a help, she just rolls up her sleeves and cracks on. It is very sad and traumatic Trevor, but you are all OK and you have a wonderful family. These things will be replaced over time. Lots of love to you all.
I will go buy a purse and I will sort out posting it to you I am crying while watching this it is truly heartbreaking please please remember that you both are very lucky to be alive
Dear Paul, please don't do that, it wasn't the purse but the contents that we wanted. It was heartbreaking to see, but as you say, we are alive, and that is the main thing.
She was hit hard both were lucky.. I bet the wreck is sold off in many parts so insurance can recover as much as possible. Lucky that gas bottle didn't hit you both
I couldn't care less Karl. The gas bottle remained in its cupboard during the smash, it was the firebrigade who took it out. The fridge on the other hand was a different story.
It is sad to see the state of your home but the bright side is that you are both here and you’ll have to think of it as an exciting move to a new home and endless possibilities.
Oh my Good god , how on earth did you survive that crash, ? Total carnage , its heartbreaking to see your lovely home destroyed in one fell swoop , ... poor twat 😢, no wonder you are traumatised , But your both alive and that is all that matters , possessions can be replaced , someone was looking out for you that day , ❤
You must have guardian angels watching over you after seeing your van its a miracle your both in tact ❤ with that said i hope you both soon find your place back doing what you enjoy and thats vanlife ❤ keep up the positive vibes
My dear God...I cannot believe you both walked away from that wreck. Is there anything that you need? Do you have an Amazon Wishlist or something like that? You continue in my prayers for your return to full health. I cannot imagine the shock you felt seeing your home in such a wreck. Please pace yourself and listen to the doctor, and especially to Tracy and Pat. Your Guardian Angels were working overtime. I'm so glad you're both okay. Sending love from Canada.
Its a miracle you & Pat escaped that Trevor especially you, i can imagine how awful it must have been to see it, I hope Pat did not have a lot of money in her purse or bank cards , if it has been stolen cos that many people been round it since, i should let the bank know but you will know that anyway, hope insurance wont take too long to sort ❤
You are truly blessed you both are still here matireal possessions mean nothing but hope you get a new camper I've been following you this week omg it's horrific and hope you both recover stuff can be replaced I'm praying this doesn't put you off of van life I can't wait to do van life again all the best sending love xxx
@@trevorpat-lifeontherun omg hope she recovers sending love what a horrible situation I'm thinking of you both keep giving updates this time will pass you both will be happy again sending love xxxx
Well,not often you are stuck for words,but i think you were today .no wonder!! that mess and the state of the van ...miracle you both ,with us still xx
Absolutely heartbreaking Trevor, so upsetting for you to see. Look after yourself because it was another shock for you and you haven't fully recovered from the accident yet. I am certainly shocked for you. Lovely that Stephen's gift arrived today to cheer you up a bit. Take care my lovely friends xxx
@@trevorpat-lifeontherun I am sorry to hear that Pat has been unwell Trevor, its still early days recovering from the trauma. I was upset at seeing your van like that, so I can only imagine how upsetting it was for both of you. xxx
Are you ok guys, seeing that must have been traumatic, my god you were lucky to come away from that without life changing injuries, so thankful you did, at least now you can charge your watch and look forward to whatever it is you end up doing, don’t give the van another thought just claim for everything especially the excess, as that shows it wasn’t your fault for future insurance, take care 👍👊🥰🥰
We are all pleased that is all over. Very upsetting for you. You will be in shock again. Now on the way to recovery. It will be hard for you both to put it all behind you. Best wishes to you both.
Someone was looking out for you that day for sure you were lucky to get out almost unharmed Trevor such a sorry state for a lovely motorhome take care both of you 🥰🥰
Wow, you were so lucky to survive that, not just tye impact butbthings flying too. I wonder if your wife's purse fell out wgen she got out on side of the road. I'm amazed how much your both moving around and not stiff. Look fter yourselves.
Ay Nicola, a dam great fridge freezer flying out of it's housing, cups saucers, coleslaw, you name it. Pats purse could have fallen out of the van. I am a bit stiff, Pat was at first, but nothing when you consider. We are very lucky,
Nearly seven weeks ago I was in a collision with an elderly lady who had a 'medical incident'....she passed away later that day. Her insurance admitted liability almost straight away.Then came a battle with 'the faceless ones' over internet/phone....insurance still not quite sorted yet.
The higher seat position and general bulk of the van saved you from serious injury. Had you been in a small car you would have been in a much worse state. Probably dead.
I am so sorry for you both. It’s been so sad to watch these vids. I hope nothing was stolen, how could anyone stoop so low to steal from you both. I hope Pat’s purse turns up. I look forward to your journey on the road ahead and hope you can find a nice comfortable home for yourselves❤😢.xx
I wasn't aware anyone had stolen from us Susan. The van was in such a mess, Pats purse could have been anywhere. We just don't know how our lives will pan out in the future, whether we get another van, or just keep finding deals and doing it that way Susan. Tracey doesn't mind what we do as long as we are happy.
You were both lucky to have walked away from that accident. It could of ended so differently. Also, I wouldn't liked to have been a passenger in the rear either, that Fridge freezer would decapitate someone at 50mph. Good luck with the insurance claim. Hope your back in a campervan before the summer is over
Oh my gosh that's bad. It's a miracle you survived but even more so that man who was in the car that hit you, you said he walked over to your van after, how the heck did he do that. I love that gift from Stephen its lovely that is. Xx
I don't know Yvonne, it was all a blur to me. It was a van he was travelling in, only a week old, it too is written off, and I have no idea how he escaped.
The inside construction of these motorhomes is weak. All the framing gave way on impact, throwing stuff forward into the cab. There really ought to be a passenger protection frame to keep all pasengers safe from things flying forward on collision impact.
Hello Trevor &Pat iv kept off You Tube for a while now for reasons I won’t go into but a friend messaged me to tell me of your accident Oh my word how you walked away from that is a miracle thank goodness this is truly heartbreaking your lovely daughter Tracy is as usual by your side and a great support Can see in your faces the shock your still in please take things slowly to heal both physical and mental you’ve got each other to lean on which is a true blessing kind regards Sheila
Thank you Sheila. We might have survived the smash, but we couldn't survive and recover without Tracey. Neither Pat or I have had a good day today, but that's just shock and my concussion.
Someone was looking after you both that day Trevor and Pat! Hope your insurance gives you a decent payout anyway. Look forward to watching you both on your travels again.
Oh dear! Thank goodness you both survived and you are ok. Such a horrific accident! Your poor van. I just recently started watching your channel and following you. I actually cried when I saw this. I hope when you both feel better about things you can put this behind you and find a new van and continue your lovely adventures. 💙💗
It's been a bit of a tearful couple of weeks Suzanne. There will come a day when we will put this mess behind us and be able to put our energies into getting another van. Thank you for choosing to watch our channel. ❤️
My heart goes out to both of you. Your poor home. I sincerely hope that the idiot who caused you this heartache is severely dealt with. Thank goodness you were driving a substantial vehicle. I hope that the insurance company doesn’t take too long in sorting this business out, with plenty of compensation. Take care both of you. ❤️❤️
You two are °a gift to the world° still. You survived....be careful to give yourselves the 'extra special care' you need/deserve to mend, both emotionally and physically. this kind of trauma can have a few invisible effects on us, that we don't realize until a bit later....but you guys are ahead of the game with your upbeat take on life and your positivity. [[and the loving/caring support of your 'followers']] and we do care, very much!! ....from Tennessee, U.S.A. 😊
I’m sorry you’re having to deal with this. I’m glad you weren’t injured worse though. At the end of the day, they’re only possessions. Most can be replaced. The important thing is, you walked away with your lives.✌🏻💕
Yesterday the road ahead seemed so clear and obvious. Today I lay here 🤔 wondering, is it worth it? Do I want to re equip another motorhome and join the increasing number who do.
It’s gut wrenching to see ones van after a accident. We only seen pictures of ours because of our lengthy hospital stay. I can’t imagine how hard and shocking for all of you seeing the wreckage which was your home. Take care.
Pat was effected by it, she was not well yesterday afternoon. I only wanted my washbag and charging cable for my watch that Pat bought me, I would have left it all and walked away, but Tracey was determined to do otherwise. I look at the stuff, and try to think what is needed to carry on, and I am just numb.
Bless you both, can hear the shock in your voice when you first seen it. Sounds like you’re in shock all over again. What a harrowing sight to see. Absolutely heartbreaking for you both. So unfair what you’ve both been through. You’ve definitely got a guardian angel watching over you both. Keep smiling, happier times are on the horizon ❤
It has effected Pat quite bad, she is not well at the moment, it is the shock, and to realise how near we came to being killed or mamed. It is a miracle we walked away from it.
keep your chin up Trevor time is a great healer my friend looking forward to your new adventures in the future the van brought tears to my eyes so sorry my friend God bless Alan
You two were very very lucky to walk away from that thank god your safe now. I know it is a lot of worry now but as long as your alive the rest will work out ❤❤❤❤❤
@trevorpat-lifeontherun I know..but don't let that put that much fear into you..ya'll get that last hooray in! I'm 68 and saving my money, so I can get out there.God Bless Both of you. And pray that God will put his Angels around you before leaving everyday.❣️❣️❣️
Aww my word i cant believe you have both survived that accident. I was so shocked when i saw the video. To see everything inside especially the fridge thats unbelievable. My heart goes out to you both, hopefully you will find your bits when tracey goes back to the van. Sending big hugs to you both and someone was definitely watching over you on that awful day. Xx❤
Today I don't feel as though I have survived the smash. I feel like it's not me who is here. Pat was badly effected by that visit to the van, it made her ill. I am now struggling to find my mojo, it all seems so crazy.
I'm sure it's all the shock of seeing your van it's fetched all the emotions and reality of what's happened to you both. Look after yourselves both of you. Xc
Very thankful for your pride and joy save ya lives Neil the campsite warden was mentioned you of the accident god was watching over you both blessings to you both has subscribed to your vlog and stay safe on future adventures x🙏💙💙💙
So sorry this has happened to you. It would be bad enough If it was just a holiday van but devastating when it’s your home. Start making a list of all the belongings you didn’t manage to retrieve or that is damaged so that you can claim for them. Glad you weren’t badly hurt-amazing really..
Yes, we were very fortunate to be here today. Fortunately we have a room at Traceys to come back to, so once again we are very fortunate. Thank you for this comment.
Truly God sent angels to protect you. I am sorry for your loss and thankful you are well. When you are ready, the road awaits to show you more of this amazing world. God bless you both and go easy. You have been thru a lot.
My goodness, as soon as the video began could tell straightaway been a hard day for you both and Tracey, then when you should the state of the van, I went in to shock myself even burst into tears actually had to pause the video make myself a cuppa calm myself, I’m ok now, seeing the carnage, that was a heck of a impact to cause all that damage, it’s a pure miracle how you both got out of that with just the injuries you sustained just incredible really, well also the driver of the car that hit you, how Pat said what walked up to the van when it happened, like others have already commented you must have Guardian angels looking out for you, I’m just glad after seeing this video you are both ok from the tragic day, thing is you are both still recovering, today must of been so difficult it’s going to take awhile to heal from this, but wow that little gift you received was so lovely, loved it, sending you lots of love and hugs, wishing you all the best going forward getting everything sorted and looking forward to your future plans ❤😊xx
@@trevorpat-lifeontherun oh no, sorry to hear that about Pat, gosh must be a worry in itself, hope she will be ok, I imagined today was going to be hard today just didn’t realise how bad things were with the van, knew was going to be carnage but what saw was a total shock, hopefully Pat is going to be ok bless her, you are all in my thoughts once again and always through this traumatic experience, sending lots of Love and hugs, please keep us updated which I know have been anyway with your daily updates but would seem after today have had a set back with shock xx❤️❤️
@@trevorpat-lifeontherun it will take time to recover, still very much early days, I would suggest taking it easy for a while longer yet, till back to full strength again stronger to tackle things like did before sending my love xx❤️
Looking at the wreck OMG Your Guardian angels were truly with your Trev 👊 Pat🥰 That must have been awful returning 🥲 Bless Ya Both Hugz xx 👊👍🚐🏴🦋🥰
Hi Stephen. It made Pat ill this afternoon mate. Your a lovely guy Stephen, your gift is such an antidote to a dam awful day.
You said “how to be cheerful after seeing that” and you must be cheerful and thankful you both are alive with so little injuries. Thank goodness. It is a true miracle you both are ok when you see the vehicle.
Lots to cheerful and thankful about. ❤

That's Stephen from Country Vanlife TV, he's a lovely bloke.
So sad for you , but at least your both ok! Warm love, thoughts and positivity your way x
A sad sight indeed, but as you say we are both ok.
So very sad 😔 that must have been heartbreaking going back in 😢
It was, and upset the both of us.
Gosh what an awful sight for you both seeing your lovely RV all torn up and ruined. Such a terrible shock for you both. Tracey did a wonderful job retrieving so many things for you, fingers crossed that when next she goes into the RV she will be able to salvage more of your possessions for you.

No, it's ok, don't worry.
Its a miracle you are both got away from that van. I was so shocked when I saw that video.
I am so glad you are both ok.
At least you manged to get a fair bit of stuff. The big question is did you get your shaving cream? 🤣 (to make light of an awful situation)
Stay positive ❤
Yes, I got my washing bag out of the bathroom Owen, thank you.😁
I'm so sorry for you guys. I can see how emotional you are. I cried watching this. You will get through this. It might take some time but you will xxx
It was a shocking experience Dinah, Pat became ill in the afternoon, but she is better now, so don't worry.
We will get through it, and you are right, it is going to take time.

You were only admiring our van the day before the smash. Your the lovely couple. ❤️
And we will admire your next van as well
Best wishes again from motorhome people ,shocked at how bad the van was ,the forces to move all that stuff is scary ,but on brighter note a lovely gift from your freind take care from motorhomer .
Three and a half ton, incredible. Ye, good old Stephen, check him out, you might like him.
My heart goes out to you both take time you will be back Tracy you're amazing daughter ❤
Tracey has been marvelous, such a great help in every way.
Goodness what a mess, material things can be replaced, but you two can't look forward now, to new adventures xxxxx
Might be a while before our next adventure.
Don't get down about possessions you've both walked away unscathed.
Look forward to new adventures 😊❤
We will.
Take it easy for a few days - that was quite a shock for you all, no wonder Pat was unwell and you looked dazed by it too - bit too much reality so soon xx
We are a strange couple, Pat & I, we don't know what people know, we are oblivious of even our own bodies, we plunge ahead without a care, only to discover we are not that prepared after all.
Too much too soon. Everyone knows except Pat and I. Well we know now, will it make us rest and take it easy? Maybe.
You have each other ❤ best outcome ❤
We do❤ It is.❤
The most important thing is you both are ok, the rest is just stuff, It can be replaced
It can be replaced if we want to, and if we can afford to, right at this moment we are drained of enthusiasm.
So glad you are both OK
Thanks Sandra, were like cockroaches.
Very upsetting seeing your van in that state, that was even worse than I imagined it would be. How you both got out so unscathed is amazing. At least you've managed to get some stuff out, but what carnage. Tracey is such a help, she just rolls up her sleeves and cracks on. It is very sad and traumatic Trevor, but you are all OK and you have a wonderful family.
These things will be replaced over time. Lots of love to you all.
It's upset Pat a lot today Helen, My only concern is for her now, it's been a terrible thing.
@@trevorpat-lifeontherun I bet it has Trevor and I'm not surprised, it's a very distressing situation. Love to Pat and you all take it easy.
Thanks Helen, we're both in bed.❤
@@trevorpat-lifeontherun oh no, you're not ill are you?
No, Pat had a funny do yesterday after we had been to the van, but she is OK now, we just had a sleep in this morning.
Hope you feel better soon, l think you have put on a very brave face ❤
Today was a wall we had to climb, and it knackered both of us.
So pleased you are both OK, how you got away with that one, only god knows.
I hope you both feel better soon.
Thank you David. It knocked us back a bit doing that, but we will be ok.
Oh my goodness. Worse than I thought. You were lucky. Sorry it happened to you.
We are, but it did Pam. Hard to believe.
So sad looking at van. You to are lucky be alive the airbags didnt go off
I know. ❤️
I will go buy a purse and I will sort out posting it to you I am crying while watching this it is truly heartbreaking please please remember that you both are very lucky to be alive
Dear Paul, please don't do that, it wasn't the purse but the contents that we wanted. It was heartbreaking to see, but as you say, we are alive, and that is the main thing.
She was hit hard both were lucky.. I bet the wreck is sold off in many parts so insurance can recover as much as possible. Lucky that gas bottle didn't hit you both
I couldn't care less Karl. The gas bottle remained in its cupboard during the smash, it was the firebrigade who took it out. The fridge on the other hand was a different story.
@trevorpat-lifeontherun the fridges do need better support I'd say just 4 small screws hold ours in place
The side of the fridge housing was torn away, so no matter how many screws there are wouldn't have made any difference.
So lovely to see you smile Trevor. Hope you and Pat soon find your happiness again soon. Bless you both x
Thank you Toni, we are getting back to normal now.❤
It is sad to see the state of your home but the bright side is that you are both here and you’ll have to think of it as an exciting move to a new home and endless possibilities.
Oh my Good god , how on earth did you survive that crash, ? Total carnage , its heartbreaking to see your lovely home destroyed in one fell swoop , ... poor twat 😢, no wonder you are traumatised , But your both alive and that is all that matters , possessions can be replaced , someone was looking out for you that day , ❤
We survived because we were meant to survive Jeanie, but why I do not know.
You must have guardian angels watching over you after seeing your van its a miracle your both in tact ❤ with that said i hope you both soon find your place back doing what you enjoy and thats vanlife ❤ keep up the positive vibes
Definitely not our time Julie. The next van will have to have all the kit ours had, because I am not starting again on another.
My dear God...I cannot believe you both walked away from that wreck. Is there anything that you need? Do you have an Amazon Wishlist or something like that? You continue in my prayers for your return to full health. I cannot imagine the shock you felt seeing your home in such a wreck. Please pace yourself and listen to the doctor, and especially to Tracy and Pat. Your Guardian Angels were working overtime. I'm so glad you're both okay. Sending love from Canada.
Thank you for your love Andrea.
No, we don't know about such things.
Pat and I are not good after yesterday, it has effected us, and made us sad.
Thank goodness your both ok , hopefully you can rescue the lions share of your belongings , best of luck with it .😊
Its a miracle you & Pat escaped that Trevor especially you, i can imagine how awful it must have been to see it, I hope Pat did not have a lot of money in her purse or bank cards , if it has been stolen cos that many people been round it since, i should let the bank know but you will know that anyway, hope insurance wont take too long to sort ❤
No cards, only her bus pass, but we have ordered another one.
Well it looks like thieves have been in after the van was left , some low lives in this world I’m afraid . Hope your feeling a bit better xx
You are truly blessed you both are still here matireal possessions mean nothing but hope you get a new camper I've been following you this week omg it's horrific and hope you both recover stuff can be replaced I'm praying this doesn't put you off of van life I can't wait to do van life again all the best sending love xxx
Pat has been effected by today, and isn't too well. It's been a terrible thing. Pat is the only thing I am thinking of now, everything else can wait.
@@trevorpat-lifeontherun omg hope she recovers sending love what a horrible situation I'm thinking of you both keep giving updates this time will pass you both will be happy again sending love xxxx
Pat seems better today, still sleeping. Thank you.
Well,not often you are stuck for words,but i think you were today .no wonder!! that mess and the state of the van ...miracle you both ,with us still xx
Your not wrong Christine. A shocking thing.
Absolutely heartbreaking Trevor, so upsetting for you to see. Look after yourself because it was another shock for you and you haven't fully recovered from the accident yet. I am certainly shocked for you. Lovely that Stephen's gift arrived today to cheer you up a bit. Take care my lovely friends xxx
Pat has been effected by today, she was not well this afternoon. Just a terrible thing all round Mary. Stephen is lovely, what a sweet gesture.
@@trevorpat-lifeontherun I am sorry to hear that Pat has been unwell Trevor, its still early days recovering from the trauma. I was upset at seeing your van like that, so I can only imagine how upsetting it was for both of you. xxx
Be very careful what your posting. The other insuerers will be watching this. Hope your claming for personal injury.
It's unbelievable that you came out without any broken bones I know you've lost the van but how lucky you have been xx
I know Sue, it's a miracle.❤
Are you ok guys, seeing that must have been traumatic, my god you were lucky to come away from that without life changing injuries, so thankful you did, at least now you can charge your watch and look forward to whatever it is you end up doing, don’t give the van another thought just claim for everything especially the excess, as that shows it wasn’t your fault for future insurance, take care 👍👊🥰🥰
No we're not OK Steve. Pat was ill after getting our wretched stuff from the van.
Today is my low. I struggle to see my way forward.
Such a sad ending to a beautiful van but your guardian angel was with you that day. Upsetting to see it. Our thoughts are with you lovely people.
It's upset Pat, and she isn't well now. She is resting, so we need to put everything on hold now until Pat recovers.
We are all pleased that is all over. Very upsetting for you. You will be in shock again.
Now on the way to recovery. It will be hard for you both to put it all behind you. Best wishes to you both.
Someone was looking out for you that day for sure you were lucky to get out almost unharmed Trevor such a sorry state for a lovely motorhome take care both of you 🥰🥰
Wow, you were so lucky to survive that, not just tye impact butbthings flying too. I wonder if your wife's purse fell out wgen she got out on side of the road. I'm amazed how much your both moving around and not stiff. Look fter yourselves.
Ay Nicola, a dam great fridge freezer flying out of it's housing, cups saucers, coleslaw, you name it. Pats purse could have fallen out of the van. I am a bit stiff, Pat was at first, but nothing when you consider. We are very lucky,
Awww feel for you both...Take care
Thank you Margaret, it's a few months ago now, so we have got over it, apart from still battling with the insurance Co.
Nearly seven weeks ago I was in a collision with an elderly lady who had a 'medical incident'....she passed away later that day. Her insurance admitted liability almost straight away.Then came a battle with 'the faceless ones' over internet/phone....insurance still not quite sorted yet.
Wow.
The higher seat position and general bulk of the van saved you from serious injury. Had you been in a small car you would have been in a much worse state. Probably dead.
True.
I am so sorry for you both. It’s been so sad to watch these vids. I hope nothing was stolen, how could anyone stoop so low to steal from you both. I hope Pat’s purse turns up. I look forward to your journey on the road ahead and hope you can find a nice comfortable home for yourselves❤😢.xx
I wasn't aware anyone had stolen from us Susan. The van was in such a mess, Pats purse could have been anywhere.
We just don't know how our lives will pan out in the future, whether we get another van, or just keep finding deals and doing it that way Susan. Tracey doesn't mind what we do as long as we are happy.
You were both lucky to have walked away from that accident. It could of ended so differently. Also, I wouldn't liked to have been a passenger in the rear either, that Fridge freezer would decapitate someone at 50mph. Good luck with the insurance claim. Hope your back in a campervan before the summer is over
All of what you say is true, until that last bit. Is that really how long it's going to take.
Oh my gosh that's bad. It's a miracle you survived but even more so that man who was in the car that hit you, you said he walked over to your van after, how the heck did he do that. I love that gift from Stephen its lovely that is. Xx
I don't know Yvonne, it was all a blur to me. It was a van he was travelling in, only a week old, it too is written off, and I have no idea how he escaped.
The inside construction of these motorhomes is weak. All the framing gave way on impact, throwing stuff forward into the cab. There really ought to be a passenger protection frame to keep all pasengers safe from things flying forward on collision impact.
True.
Hello Trevor &Pat iv kept off You Tube for a while now for reasons I won’t go into but a friend messaged me to tell me of your accident
Oh my word how you walked away from that is a miracle thank goodness this is truly heartbreaking your lovely daughter Tracy is as usual by your side and a great support Can see in your faces the shock your still in please take things slowly to heal both physical and mental you’ve got each other to lean on which is a true blessing kind regards Sheila
Thank you Sheila. We might have survived the smash, but we couldn't survive and recover without Tracey.
Neither Pat or I have had a good day today, but that's just shock and my concussion.
Wow what a mess, so glad you both got out of that. I dread to think 😢all the best for the future to you both xx
Thank you Chris's. ❤️
Everyones nightmare who live in their van... Luckily you survived. Good luck and start again.
True on both counts. Start again! Oh how easy it sounds. Today I feel old.
Someone was looking after you both that day Trevor and Pat! Hope your insurance gives you a decent payout anyway. Look forward to watching you both on your travels again.
Sure was, and very grateful we are too. That's what we are hoping for, so we can continue with our life..
Oh dear! Thank goodness you both survived and you are ok.
Such a horrific accident! Your poor van. I just recently started watching your channel and following you. I actually cried when I saw this. I hope when you both feel better about things you can put this behind you and find a new van and continue your lovely adventures. 💙💗
It's been a bit of a tearful couple of weeks Suzanne. There will come a day when we will put this mess behind us and be able to put our energies into getting another van.
Thank you for choosing to watch our channel. ❤️
My heart goes out to both of you. Your poor home. I sincerely hope that the idiot who caused you this heartache is severely dealt with. Thank goodness you were driving a substantial
vehicle. I hope that the insurance company doesn’t take too long in sorting this business out, with plenty of compensation. Take care both of you. ❤️❤️
The motorhome saved our lives.
We too are hoping for enough compensation. ❤️
OMG 😮 So thankful 🙏 you are both ok. God bless you both x
We are Rachel. For some reason the Lord considered us worth saving.
You two are °a gift to the world° still. You survived....be careful to give yourselves the 'extra special care' you need/deserve to mend, both emotionally and physically. this kind of trauma can have a few invisible effects on us, that we don't realize until a bit later....but you guys are ahead of the game with your upbeat take on life and your positivity. [[and the loving/caring support of your 'followers']] and we do care, very much!! ....from Tennessee, U.S.A. 😊
Those are very kind words Cathie. Today we are tired, but as time passes we shall recover, and with your encouragement how could we not.
Devastating gosh all I had broken was some crockery and chairs thankgoodness you and pat are ok😢❤❤❤
We're not OK today Juleanne, that trip to the van brought us down. ❤️
I’m sorry you’re having to deal with this. I’m glad you weren’t injured worse though. At the end of the day, they’re only possessions. Most can be replaced. The important thing is, you walked away with your lives.✌🏻💕
That is so true Joel.❤
I’m so glad you survived that hocus on the positive in the future. I’m sure you’re both be on the road again in no time.👍🏻👏🏻💯🤗🥰🇨🇦
Yesterday the road ahead seemed so clear and obvious. Today I lay here 🤔 wondering, is it worth it? Do I want to re equip another motorhome and join the increasing number who do.
They are not built for a crash, no protection whatsoever.
We would have been killed in a car Michelle.
Are you getting a new van or are you going to stay at home now ??
Just curious ?
Getting another van, we sold our home in 2016, this is our daughters house.
Sending love from Turkey. I don't comment often, but watch all. So glad you are both okay. Be back on the road soon ❤xx
Thank you.❤
It’s gut wrenching to see ones van after a accident. We only seen pictures of ours because of our lengthy hospital stay. I can’t imagine how hard and shocking for all of you seeing the wreckage which was your home. Take care.
Pat was effected by it, she was not well yesterday afternoon. I only wanted my washbag and charging cable for my watch that Pat bought me, I would have left it all and walked away, but Tracey was determined to do otherwise.
I look at the stuff, and try to think what is needed to carry on, and I am just numb.
Bless you both, can hear the shock in your voice when you first seen it. Sounds like you’re in shock all over again. What a harrowing sight to see. Absolutely heartbreaking for you both. So unfair what you’ve both been through. You’ve definitely got a guardian angel watching over you both. Keep smiling, happier times are on the horizon ❤
It has effected Pat quite bad, she is not well at the moment, it is the shock, and to realise how near we came to being killed or mamed. It is a miracle we walked away from it.
Unbelievable..you both had a lucky escape take care xx
We sure did Liz.❤️
keep your chin up Trevor time is a great healer my friend looking forward to your new adventures in the future the van brought tears to my eyes so sorry my friend God bless Alan
Thank you Alan. yes, time, that's what we need.
You two were very very lucky to walk away from that thank god your safe now. I know it is a lot of worry now but as long as your alive the rest will work out ❤❤❤❤❤
We know Thomas, we are very thankful.❤
Wishing you all the best as you work through all of this 🇦🇺
Thank you Mark.❤️
Oh my 😢
Sending love filled hugs to you both 🤗❤️🩹🙏🏻 xx
❤
😮👍
Will you be getting another Van?❤❤❤❤
It's the only lifestyle that suits us, but I have to admitt that I find the thought of kitting out another van daunting.
@trevorpat-lifeontherun I know..but don't let that put that much fear into you..ya'll get that last hooray in! I'm 68 and saving my money, so I can get out there.God Bless Both of you. And pray that God will put his Angels around you before leaving everyday.❣️❣️❣️
Sending love and hugs to you all.
Thank you Rosemary.❤
So glad that you are both ok x
Thank you.
Aww my word i cant believe you have both survived that accident. I was so shocked when i saw the video. To see everything inside especially the fridge thats unbelievable. My heart goes out to you both, hopefully you will find your bits when tracey goes back to the van. Sending big hugs to you both and someone was definitely watching over you on that awful day. Xx❤
Today I don't feel as though I have survived the smash. I feel like it's not me who is here.
Pat was badly effected by that visit to the van, it made her ill.
I am now struggling to find my mojo, it all seems so crazy.
Aww bless you both, it's the shock now that you will both be effected by. And the loss of all your home and belongings gone. 😢xx
@@bellefreeman803 Is that what's happened Belle, my poor brain won't process it.
I'm sure it's all the shock of seeing your van it's fetched all the emotions and reality of what's happened to you both. Look after yourselves both of you. Xc
@@bellefreeman803 Thank you Belle, we will. xxx
Very thankful for your pride and joy save ya lives Neil the campsite warden was mentioned you of the accident god was watching over you both blessings to you both has subscribed to your vlog and stay safe on future adventures x🙏💙💙💙
Thank you for subscribing to our channel Michael. It is indeed a miracle we survived the crash.
So sorry this has happened to you. It would be bad enough If it was just a holiday van but devastating when it’s your home. Start making a list of all the belongings you didn’t manage to retrieve or that is damaged so that you can claim for them. Glad you weren’t badly hurt-amazing really..
Yes, we were very fortunate to be here today.
Fortunately we have a room at Traceys to come back to, so once again we are very fortunate.
Thank you for this comment.
Truly God sent angels to protect you. I am sorry for your loss and thankful you are well. When you are ready, the road awaits to show you more of this amazing world. God bless you both and go easy. You have been thru a lot.
Thank you.❤
Oh Trev! Thank God you survived that! Looking at your drivers seat x
Hard to imagine I was sat there Jules. Thank God indeed.
God bless you dears..your angels were with you that day..a thank the dear lord your still here. ❤
Thank you Penny.❤️
My goodness, as soon as the video began could tell straightaway been a hard day for you both and Tracey, then when you should the state of the van, I went in to shock myself even burst into tears actually had to pause the video make myself a cuppa calm myself, I’m ok now, seeing the carnage, that was a heck of a impact to cause all that damage, it’s a pure miracle how you both got out of that with just the injuries you sustained just incredible really, well also the driver of the car that hit you, how Pat said what walked up to the van when it happened, like others have already commented you must have Guardian angels looking out for you, I’m just glad after seeing this video you are both ok from the tragic day, thing is you are both still recovering, today must of been so difficult it’s going to take awhile to heal from this, but wow that little gift you received was so lovely, loved it, sending you lots of love and hugs, wishing you all the best going forward getting everything sorted and looking forward to your future plans ❤😊xx
The shock has effected Pat, and she had a funny turn this afternoon. Everything is on hold now until I am sure Pat is ok.
@@trevorpat-lifeontherun oh no, sorry to hear that about Pat, gosh must be a worry in itself, hope she will be ok, I imagined today was going to be hard today just didn’t realise how bad things were with the van, knew was going to be carnage but what saw was a total shock, hopefully Pat is going to be ok bless her, you are all in my thoughts once again and always through this traumatic experience, sending lots of Love and hugs, please keep us updated which I know have been anyway with your daily updates but would seem after today have had a set back with shock xx❤️❤️
Pat and I are still in bed, Pat seems better but we are taking it slow. My headaches have returned.
We will recover. ❤
@@trevorpat-lifeontherun it will take time to recover, still very much early days, I would suggest taking it easy for a while longer yet, till back to full strength again stronger to tackle things like did before sending my love xx❤️
We are doing Zoe. Your very kind, can't see the way forward yet, but we will.
