🔶 About us 🔶
Welcome to our channel! We're Carol and Ken, retired professionals turned van life enthusiasts. We share our adventures across the UK and Europe in our camper van, which we have just upgraded to a slightly larger model.
Our goal is to provide a relaxing, honest account of van life, with no scripted drama - just the real, day-to-day experiences of our travels. Many of our viewers find our content calming, and we hope you will too.
We're passionate about wild camping and love to share our knowledge and tips, from staying cool in the van to choosing the right toilet. We're always learning and look forward to sharing our campervanning experiences with you.
While we love the freedom of wild camping, we also enjoy supporting local businesses by indulging in delicious local food. Expect to see plenty of one-pan meals and restaurant visits in our videos.
We like historical sites, country homes, towns, villages, and the occasional city. We aim to share interesting facts and stories about the places we visit.
We post new videos every Friday at 6pm UK time, sometimes more often.
Our channel is perfect for armchair travellers, those considering a caravan or motorhome, or anyone looking to unwind after a stressful day. If this sounds like you, hit that subscribe button and join us on our journey. Your support, whether through watching our videos, subscribing, or contributing to our 'Buy Me a Coffee' fund, helps to keep our adventures going. We appreciate every bit of it. ❤️

Next blog will go out tomorrow 👍
What about "Miles" as you'll be doing some 🤣
PEANUT, as in two nuts in a shell 😊
I prefer peanuts to snoopy
Me too
With a nod to your former profession and the colour of the van, I’d call it The Panda 🐼😊
I thought exactly the same!
Panda definitely!
Excellent suggestion
you'd think he would want to forget though 🤔
I like Panda. @@gh0234
Love snoopy, my fav peanuts character is Linus and you'll need your blankets when you're somewhere cold! All the best with your new van. 🍻
Ah I love Snoopy, as well as the Charlie Brown connection, it always makes me smile whenever you meet and pet a dog on your travels. I know it’s not practical to have a real dog so what better name for your new white and black home on wheels. Glad you’re loving the new van, whatever its name. :) Thanks for the update
Agree with Snoopy too for the same reasons 🐾
Hi Carol and Ken. Hopefully there would be no copyright issues with using the name snoopy. It's a name I like. When I had a camper van it was called Moe. (As in moe the moterhome). I am sure you will come to decision sooner or later. Whatever you decide will be fine .Looking forward to seeing your new adventures in -------😊
A name for you van
Connie. Short for Consort .
I also thought Connie would be a great name
I was also thinking Connie Consort 😊
Yep 👍
Australia 🇦🇺 👍👍👍
I too was a police officer and worked with a number of ex mariners who were Falkland vets. Everytime we went out on the beat they talked about going for a Bimble. It stuck in my head and I now call my van Bimble.
"Daisy May"
I prefer Snoopy to Van Blanc. Snoopy is really a lovely name. Other than that I don't have any suggestion, but I'm sure you'll find the right one 👍
You're both looking so much happier & more relaxed, the new van was overdue & I'm really glad you bought it.
Usually a name will happen naturally based on something like the number plate or just with familiarity with the van, I'd wait until that happens rather than look for a name.
Why change…. Little Red… in memory of little red! Fondly remembered and never forgotten
Snoopy! Cant beat that! Thats perfect.
The van name is K C for ken and carol love Annie xxx❤❤❤
Definitely Albert! Prince Albert was the consort of Queen Victoria and you have a consort van. It looks really regal too and posh.
Albert ❤
Love the Snoopy name. It fits your persona. Double inference, Snoopy the character and It Snoops around the roads, towns, and villages. We shall see if Sir Snoops is the final.
I always chuckle when ken refer's to carol as Daisy May perhaps that could be a contender k&c.❤
I'm not the sort to name vans so to me it would just be 'the van'
Us too lol we did name our first van sid but rarely used it lol our current van is called The Van :)
I'd call it Big White.
I think a single name is very appropriate and hence Snoopy.
Snoopy!! Or Snoops. Van Blanc just sounds too much of a mouthful personally x
I like Daizy, (a wee nod to Carol there)….Nothing nicer than a fresh Daisy to remind you the sun shines on us most of the time. They’re very cheery wee flowers.
I think 'Daisy May' would be a good name for the van😊
My nickname was Snoopy since 1972 so Snoopy is the best one.
After Little Red, a good name for the new van would be Great White.
Snoopy a great name
Love Snoopy… easy and rolls of the tongue
Snoopy is great!!!Have Fun!!!!🎉😊
Snoopy - absolutely!
The Little Koala
Connie. Just looked it up and it means steadfast and reliable; a loyal trustworthy friend!
I like snoopy …. But daisy may for me
I love the name Snoopy, perhaps because I love the cartoon character.
Snowie would quite a nice name.
Hi both, love both the names you short listed, but I also like the names Conny or Daisy as others have suggested too. My others suggestions are Happy, Badger, Bessie, Pengu, Penny, Chuck, Panda, Pepe, Spot, Zebedee, Maisie or Nala xx
Snoopy is PERFECT! Love it!
I think THE ORCA Quinn's boat from jaws
We had a vote. My children think snoopy also! Or simply the igloo (being white), my suggestion.
We love the name Snoopy 😊
The Tardis….bigger than it looks on the inside…and a nod to the ‘police’ theme! 😅
Snoopy gets my vote! 👍🏻
Ken, if you decide on Snoopy for the van, and Carol is Charlie Brown, you’re going to have to adopt the name Linus - Charlie Brown’s best friend 🥰
We have called our motorhome "Woolly" because it is based on a Citroën JUMPER.
Snoopy is a great name for the van 🎉
On the Charlie Brown theme, I favour Linus.
I love Snoopy but since I saw "the koala" behind you, that would be nice too!
I always try to think of van names as house names, ‘let’s go back to the Dog House.. Roadhouse…or Road names or towns. Maybe Abbey Road or The Tor, the Chichester. I know you’ll choose the best name!
Good to see you both looking so comfortable and happy in what is obviously the right van for you. The space and added comfort reminds me of our moho days. As for names, I’ve always found they naturally come into being and just feel right. We called our motorhome ‘Jolly’ (‘the jolly majestic’) one day as we headed off on our hols/jollies in him and it really suited. Whatever your choice, i hope you have lots of wonderful travels in her/him 🚐❤
Lovin your new van…… How about calling her Conny the Consort. Looking forward to your new travels x
Snoopy is cute and you guys are always snooping around for things to see and do. 😊
"Wilhelmina"
For Caroline - "Carol"
Wilhelmina Charlotte Caroline
A famous consort.
Or an allusion to your new camper being like an ocean liner in size.
You could call it the KC2. Or call it Casey.
(The Little Red was KC1.)
I would call her big red ❤
Snoopy sounds perfect
The big white camper......
Medium White Camper 😂 Doesn't really roll off the tongue though. Snoopy is a great idea 💡
We all our teardrop Van Go
Snoopy sounds perfect...
My suggestion for the van name is “Tripster”
Snoopy all the way. Enjoy Snoopy😊🐕🐾🐾🇬🇧
Hi both, lovely van looks comfy, it's got to be Snoopy, have some great adventures in it and look forward to the videos.
Definitely Snoopy!!!
Either Carolliner CamperVan or Scooby Do Campervan. Shortened to Scooby. Daisymay campervan also sounds good.
Snoopy sounds good to me😀👍
Hi yes I thought Panda and then thought why not call it the big white camper Seen as you called the Nv 200 little red camper 😀I hope you have lots of new adventures.
Snoopy is a great name for the new camper 👌
I came up with Skarkey, as the new camper van is a great white van, however I think Snoopy is better 👍
I was thinking of Lucy before you mentioned the Charlie Brown connection but Snoopy is cute as is Panda.
Daisy May sounds nice for your van
I think it's got to be the Big White Camper. 👍
I think of the name Tardis because it is bigger on the inside than you can see outside.
The Unicorn🦄. It’s white, it’s magical, it’s hard to find! Greetings from Canadian Fan 🇨🇦
'Gulliver'
Hugo -wished we called our van that we have 6 meter van when we go up and down thevan you often hear us say Hugo first. Love your van
Made us laugh 😂
Snoopy we like but reading the comments I think daisy may is brilliant, safe travels 😀
Both names are great; I like van blanc
It's lovely to see you looking so happy and settled in the new van.
Little Grey Van
I concur with those who’ve already suggested Big White 👍
Snoopy seems rather fitting
Totaly agree campsites are now crazy prices. As regards a name for the van. DAISY MAY.
For carol rather than Ken "my cross to bear" 😂😂😂 as my wife does for me.
Snoopy, Snoopy,Snoopy!
I love this name for your new van.
As soon you guys said you were looking for a name for the van - I thought it would be great to have it be one of the Charlie Brown characters. 🐶❤️😊
Loving the little koala bear sitting up there! 👋🏻 from 🇦🇺
Snoopy gets my vote! 😊
Snoopy is darling!❤
Snoopy sounds great!
Wander, journey, trek, roaming, gallivant,
You look so happy and relaxed. Lovely to see!
I suggest ‘Sherlock’ as the new van is rather clever. You are correct about site charges and pricing themselves out of the market.. They are indeed getting costly bordering on the absurd here in Ireland also. We avoid them whoever possible.
Charlie sounds good 😊
The big white camper.
So pleased you are loving your new van and getting everything sorted out as you want to.
You may prefer to use campsites more now. But we find the way manage to wild camp for longer is by using Merlin’s toilet like a Bivvy loo ( bags and sawdust) and by using bottles ( a bit like you did in Little Red) We do use the loo if essential at night, but only use biological tablets ( instead of blue) That way a cassette can be emptied in a regular toilet if needed. Works a treat! 😉
As for a name. Snoopy sounds good both because of the link to Peanuts, but also because it’s nice to snoop around places and go exploring. 😊👍
As for a name
Yes we will be pushing the boundaries of wild camping as much as we can.
Great White
It's got to be Snoopy.💯
It’s Snoopy for me ❤
From little red to Great White.
Love your “Snoopy”
I love the name “Badger”
So glad you’re happy in your new van x ♥️🐚
the previous name was little red, why not Big White 😊😊😊
wish you many, many safe miles Carol and Ken and a lot of nice adventures 😉👍
...'van' is 'camionnette' en francois... rather a mouthful. 'Snoopy' sounds OK or tweak 'Van Blanc' to 'Vin Blanc' maybe. How about 'Allo Allo!' references France/franglais and also Kens policemans life, also British humour, reverently fun like you guys. Whatever you find will be great. Looking forward to new adventures. Kia Ora from New Zealand. 💜💜 PS: (marguerite mae, bleus et deux, gros rouge, cuivre, reet grand, the mothership, her indoors, the dame, tea n biscuit, her ladyship, Yvette Carte-Blanche, biggles, bruyère de Haywards, chateau du roi, dame marguerite, britannia, Boudica, la grange, lady nora). Your van, your choice, have fun!! ❤❤
Snoopy would be my choice (and probably known as Snoop Van in my head) 😊
Snoopy sounds small… Big White!
How about Kevin? Kevan?
My English husband wants to name a kitten Kevin, when we get one this Spring.
I don’t know if it’s a good name for a cat but a van maybe. Lol.😁
