Thanks for your honesty and the reality of full time van life. My husband always says on each video that you two do an amazing job informing and giving us the reality of van life with a son and dog. We would love to support you more on buy me a coffee and pay pal but right now we are going through some hard times. Keep up the great work xxx
I admire you all as a family. All vlogs I have watched of yours are always very informative, and you are a very down to earth family. Thank you so much for all the advice on this vlog it's been extremely helpful. Mike & Paul Liverpool ❤
Hi peeps, I think you are brilliant, we are both working with a mortgage, and wish we had the guts to do what you are doing. We have a motorhome and only use for weekends and annual leave. But we love it and wish we could take off for ever. All the best to you all. Keep living the dream x
We only started watching you 6 months ago we love the natural way you produce your videos no fancy editing and awful music just raw and true in a great way. I know it’s difficult but try to ignore the trolls because we think they are jealous of your life of adventure. We hope we have as much fun travelling as you do as we record our journey. We hope one day we will meet up with you and share our experiences over an alcoholic beverage or 2. Keep those videos coming your an inspiration best wishes Phill and Leigh ❤❤❤
Another great video. We've watched you guys virtually from the start, and have been so inspired. As we're both retired, kids grown and left, we sold the house and bought a campervan. It's been 7 months now and life is great. No money worries and no stress, it's fantastic. We'd only been full time in our van for a month when my wife was diagnosed with breadt cancer. It has meant we've had to stay reasonably close to a hospital, but it just goes to show that vanlife is possible and enjoyable no matter what obstacles life throws at you. So thanks for all your positive and entertaining vlogs, they're such an inspiration. ✌️
Thank you... I am 81 and stay in place in a brick motor.. It is wonderful watching you living your best life. They have portable washers.. that spin rinse where the clothes are almost dry.. I have one to avoid the laundry machines in our building. You might look into it for alternative with the laundry machines. Such a nice family life!!!
Another great vlog, honest and raw. I think the ones that insult you are the ones who are jealous and do not have the guts to do it themselves. Hope Boo get better soon and look forward to your next video.
Great video with a good walk around the subject. I would have been curious to hear Zak's take on the experience so far. What would some of his highlights be. What has he enjoyed best and what might be some of the struggles he may or may not have encountered along the road.
Great video guys , been watching you for a while now and really looking forward to seeing what you get up to in Holland and Belgium. Me and hubby took early retirement nine years ago , sold our house , bought a very cheap house in France , did it up and now a beautiful house on France, bought a motor home and travel around France in summer and spend our winters in Spain. As you say life is short so live it , take risks and do what makes you happy 😀
I enjoy watching your vlogs and I’m glad you guys are enjoying van life over a house. You are a decent family (including Boo in that😀), and your style of vlogging keeps my attention as you are all down to earth people. I absolutely agree that life is short and no one guarantees us tomorrow, and that’s why my partner and I retired early, and it was the best decision we could have made.
Thank You guys! Enjoyed! - I enjoy the 'waffle" - Take no notice of comments - You cant please everyone! I love it that you can laugh at yourself - You are great fun - showing us around everywhere you go - I even say 'Its Redders' today or Wetters' - You are very open & honest - You all make me smile - Love little Boo so cute. Enjoying following your Adventures - nothing on TV these days - My cousin & her husband were over in Spain & came back to UK just before you ended your travels - it was so funny cos I told them I am hooked on watching Campers on TH-cam & when I told her I watch 'Field View Adventures' a lot - she said they watch you too & really like you & we laughed . Places that you filmed she had been too! She was telling me about the Continental Market Shops they have & how good they are - one of your Videos even showed one on them & she told us they had stayed at many "Park Ups & Aires' you had shown. Well today it's 'Freezing Colders' down South in UK - ha!ha! Keep Warm! & Take Care :) Look forward to your next one !
Absolutely loved this vlog x Thank you for recommending Camperjazz. Had a look and subscribed and said you guys recommended her channel. Looking forward to watching both you guys and camperjazz travels for 2024. X
Ted has a buggy too 🐾 he had major leg surgery and we don’t want that again for him - he doesn’t really use it often at all but there if he needs it! That was a great video, honest and straight as always. Thank you xx
Enjoyed this, I live in Durham City in the northeast and have a couple of campsite suggestions if your ever in the area, the first one is free in a safe location a four minute walk from the main police HQ, its called the DLI Durham light infantry museum car park in Durham city DH1 5TU, the DLI museum is closed down the land is owned by the council but they don't stop anyone parking there I've seen Rvs parked up, its also a 5 min walk to the train platform station where there is a Costa coffee shop & a pub,. 8 minute walk.into town center. Durham is called hill island as its practically surrounded in an almost circle by the river wear with the castle on the hill. Second is the Durham amateur rowing club campsite listed in the caravan club, this has electrical hook up, facilities & bar restaurant, its a good spot again 8 min walk into the town. Best wishes
Very good video, without a script is the best jumping from one subject to another, you are such a genuine couple. I need to look at where to get water apps cause that’s the thing that worries me. One life live it , and you do right to ignore the negativity. Looking forward to seeing your travels this year .
Nice to see an honest vanlife video, you guys tell it as it is and don’t sugar coat it!! Nice to see you laughing off the trolls as well 😂 😂 I wish you both all the best in the future with your travels regards dave
Hi I'm a trucker and a little tip for you most motorway services now have free showers some are the push but unfortunately that yeah are a pain, but some aren't but the main thing is they are free, keep up the good work and I'll hopefully see you on the road one day , andy
I’ve had no internet for two days, signed in this morning and saw I had gained 50 new subscribers, then just sat watching you and realised why! Thank you so much for the shout out, i’l even forgive the ‘old lady’ comment, my grandkids will love listening to that, they think anyone over 20 ancient lol. I’ve watched you for a long time now and think you were courageous to make the decision to sell the house, but I totally understand the reasons, low wages, sick pay, pensions, working just to live, once you get older that’s even less fun… As a carlifer I find Scotland so much easier than England and Wales for our style of living, they just seem so much more geared up for our needs, all the months I spent in Scotland last year think did a total of 7 nights on sites, mostly just when I needed to strip out the car and give it a good clean, sandy beaches and dogs make for messy cars lol . Again thank you for the mention, if ever you’re doing Scotland I’m sure I can recommend some nice stops lol, all our love Pam Ted and Lolly
Hiya Pam bless you we are so glad you’ve gained so many subscribers 😁 we love and have great respect for what you do and maybe some point we will meet up for a cuppa or two! The old lady comment that’s Steve all over mouth before brain 🤣🙈 best wishes to you all xx
Been watching you for a while and love your videos and how positive and honest you are. We are planning on full time in March, we are a family of four, we have a boy 13yrs, a girl 12yrs and two dogs one who has a pushchair haha {he only has 3 legs and gets tired quickly} We are very nervous in taking the step of giving the house up but also very excited. Hopefully we might see you on the road sometime xx
Me and the missus enjoyed that Warts an all We travelled Europe in a 7.6 mtr Moho 5 years ago and understand how difficult it can be but what a life No rent no stress and you are getting it right Forget the haters , they are just jealous because they are caught in the trap ( especially now) and just working to live Me and the missus live in a caravan in the uk , jacked our jobs and currently in murcia Doing sod all and knowing we don’t have massive rent to find every month Keep it up and what a lovely polite boy you have 😊
another brilliantly informative vlog thank you, one day we will be able to follow our dream, looking forward to another year of great adventures from you thanks.
It's definitely not the glamorous instagram lifestyle that people think it is. Your issues re work, commuting, holidays, money are replaced with worrying about keeping your van mobile and fixing the bits that drop off 😂water, parking, gas, laundry. Plus being cooped up with your other half 27/7 isn't the easiest. Working helps 😁 We have been in the van now 622 days and counting. I seriously can't see me going back to bricks. Not ever. We need to sort out the car collection/drop off and whatever is easiest for you guys! Stay warm over there lovelies 💜❤xx
Yes we can sort it when you get back no worries, I know you will look After him ❤️ how you haven’t clobbered and buried a certain person in That amount of time is beyond me 🤣🤣🤣💪🏻💪🏻
I have just spent hours binge watching all your videos since you arrived at Benidorm. I can't believe how well your channel is doing, so pleased for you. I live at Pontefract which isn't far from your home town Steve. I recognised your accent straight away. Glad I am up to date now with your video's and I enjoyed them all. I will ask friends and family to subscribe for you.
Haha, 32 minutes in and the wife says how dark it’s gone outside while you talking and the moons coming up through the window, it’s the reflection of your head…. bloody hell. My Mrs is a star x
Enjoyed this video we sold the house 10 years ago to live in a static on a farm nd look after static caravans and tourers for contractors and have holidays and go fishing in our motorhome we went to Scotland in September after watching vids from others on TH-cam and we had a fantastic time so keep 5he information coming and the reviews so more ideas are shared
Wow guys just like stood at the fence having a good old natter watching this video , reallly miss you all , hope to catch up with you again soon xxx And Thanks again ❤❤❤❤❤

Hi 👋, what a fantastic video enjoyed listening to all of it. Please, don’t ever change you’re all so natural and love your honesty thank you, thank you. Safe travels ❤❤❤❤
Absolutely great vlog guys. We too are full timers. Did exactly the same as you guys. We find it amazing when telling people about our park ups. I think you have to do it to fully understand. We have not looked back yet either. We are parked up at La Zenia at the moment after watching you guys. Thank you so much for all your vlogs and yes we do hope to meet up with you one day xx
I think if you like a caravan/camping type holidays you’ll no doubt love it.. that’s sort of how I got into it.. it’s not easy or straightforward but is anything.. having good family helps aswell..
Guys love this vlog and true Vanlife information. Definitely not waffle, interesting to watch and we agree life to short we are so tempted for full time Vanlife, We love the outdoors and travel, meeting new likeminded people it’s just great. We also have met some lovely people on our travels and we relate to you guys and hope we will meet soon or even to wave 👋 as we travel. Ps my husband Ashley says he used to go to the Ninove VW show many years ago and also had a VW bay window… 👍👍
You know I've been watching you for months and that was your best vlog yet. You were both so natural and the subject was really interesting. We're in our 60s and still go camping in a tent and like you say , you can feel all the stresses disappearing as you hit the road to who knows where, we just follow the sun 😊. Next step for us is a little Eriba pan familiar so there's room for our 2 year old granddaughter 😊. I think a lot of people don't realise the time and effort it takes to film your vlogs and then edit plus trying to reply to everyone, it probably doesn't leave a lot of you time. Anyway you're doing great 😊😊😊
It’s not a 5 min waft the camera round and stick it on TH-cam like people seem to Think!! It takes hours of filming and even more hours of editing then even more hours of uploading, the finalising all the details…..the list goes on! But thank you much appreciated ☺️
I've been thinking of vanlife myself. I rent a property plus bills and I live in a truck all week. Go home friday night and back in Sunday so makes you think why I bother renting. I've bought a campervan last year to live in and yea I could cut my hours down to enjoy life a bit more. Its just making that move.
This is the thing you work away and pay to rent your property to stay In it 2 nights a week, is it worth it? Why don’t you give it a go you can always rent again if it doesn’t work out 😀
Really good chat and some good pointers for anyone wanting to go full time, we do lay-bys as well and had some very peaceful nights as well in some of them and agree with the get away comment 😊
Your honestly is awesome 👍🏼 i love my caravan but would love a motorhome, me & my partner been together for 29 years, we dont argue but id still have to go away for 6 months before giving up the brick,, & for the stupid people that dont know dogs, little dogs csnt wslk far & need rest so a doggy pushchair or back bag for a dog is needed & only good responsible owners would know this ❤ & its the responsible ones that pick up after their dogs & others at times 😮 love your honesty & i think you've got an amazing family ❤️ i love you can choose the best places to stay, if you dont like whos moves in nextdoor you can move, love it ..kindness doesn't cost a thing, awesome vlog as always guys ❤🌹🥂
Hi Guys!!!I love your channel, I’ve been watching van life for about 2 half years now, I follow a few, I have 7 granddaughters I have to look after 4 days a week, so van life is impossible for me, plus my hubby not as keen as me, I would love to do it one day when there all grown up but we might be to old by then, watching van life is MY down time I watch it as often as I can, I admire anyone who lives this way and I would say anyone who is in a position to do it, then do it, yous show up the real van life weather your in a lay by or a beach, it’s a fab way to live especially Zak to, your showing him a amazing life while he’s young, il continue to support your channel cos I love it, all the hard work you put in to making these videos for our viewing is much appreciated, hope you will continue your journey, as always take care & stay safe see you on the nxt one lv use❤❤❤❤
Been following you from the start love the channel I follow about 25 utubers and your always top of list just enjoying life is the best way can't wait for this year's adventures such a great family 😊😊😊
Only a few mins in guy’s and wow! Loving this vlog and has really got us thinking, so much more to life than working 9-5🙏 You guy’s are great for keeping it real and you definitely need to waffle more often!😉👍(glad we met you in Stratford)
We've been fulltime for 4yrs and when people ask what's the worse thing and I said it's for not doing it sooner 😂 we chose to do it as all our wages were flying out instead of in 😂 we only work the summer season and get winter off ...... we are spanking the gas too but its OK coz we can afford it lol great vlog as usual xx
Hi long time subscriber small time commenter love you guys always happy when you do an upload always give you a like and this was very interesting thanks keep em coming ❤
You've always been honest about full time life in the 'van'. We may not see the 'warts and all' version, we don't need to but you have given me confidence to follow my dream albeit forced into it due to personal circumstances. Me personally ? I'm looking to encompass van life with per sitting in the UK and abroad to self finance the Van Life Thank you for your vlogs x
Love you guys,thanks so much for this vid! It's my fellas dream to do van life but life gets in the way,such an honest couple,zakkies defo a future vlogger/gamer 😂😊 glad boos feeling better bless him,love his pink jumper 😅 keep up the great work guys.love to all.bring on that 10k !!!🎉 ( defo gotta be a kebab night then! 😂xxxx
Oh wow another great vlog you are brilliant you keep it real and informative don't think you waffle cuz I could listen to you all day. We've had our motorhome 2years and we've learnt loads off you.....ps our dog is a Pug and he goes in a pushchair cuz he's brachialsphalic, we get loads of people commenting we ignore them they are uneducated about dogs 🐕 😅 Katherine you inspire me so much xx
Aww thank you So much comments like that are so much needed for my confidence I can tell you. One bad comment about me and I won’t pick the camera up for a while!
On point, loving the chat about the online trolls, my furbaby has a stroller, great way to get around with a very old pooch. You carry on doing what you do, loving you reviewing products. Good luck with your travels x
Good evening to you both me and my wife enjoy your content and travels one question me and my wife often wonder what are you doing for Zack's education ? Safe travels
Brilliant vlog, some great information from you both. What happens when you get older concerns me. How would you go on then. Also what about medical provisions. Watched your channel for ages now and you are very genuine people. Keep it going and don’t be a slave to society. You should do a live. Q&A keep it going
So we stayed registered at our regular docs so we still get our prescriptions done there but instead of having a nominated pharmacy they just put the prescription into ‘the spine’ and you can request it from any pharmacy in the uk ☺️
Hi Steve going back to how much you spend on Gas at this time of year, also knowing that Solar charging can be difficult, you did say you had a generator to charge your power packs do you know how much fuel it uses to charge them , Just trying to work out the monthly cost without having to go on a Site many thanks
😊 Great video. Can't believe you don't get sick pay.!!!! We get 4 weeks holiday per year and 10 sick days plus we get public holidays. But our retirement age is 65yr! You have freedom😊 That was the huge attraction to us. No lawns, no weeding, no house maintenance, less bills and soooo much freedom. If you don't like ya neighbors you can drive away LOL.😊 I think for mental health it's brilliant! And you appreciate the simple things that others take for granted like water, turning the lights on. And you grow closer as a family! We noticed how material items become essential instead of "just because". You guys are living your dream, you are free 😊 It's so awesome. And your wandering, waffling is a blessing for many 😊
Only one life live it is one of the best things I have heard this week. Ive been working and living in the van away from home for 10 years and for the most part enjoy it. I have finally put it to the missus this week that things need to change. We rent a house, and to put it in perspective for rent/council tax/electricity and heating oil has cost us over £100,000 for just over 4 years. For a house I hardly spend time in, usually home one or 2 days a week at most. Buying loads of things for a house i dont get to use. Its obsene really when you think about it. The plan now is to get a bigger van, convert it this year and then try the van life together. We do plan on seriously reducing what we work to probably 2 days a week each which I reckon will give us enough money to live comfortable enough but we will continue to work. We are young 50s with no real pensions, no savings as such and if things carry on we will both work ourselves in to an early grave with nothing to show for it so why not give it a go? Thats my answer to Why choose Van life lol
But this is exactly what people are caught up in, working to live and paying ridiculous money you either don’t get much use out of or having no money left to do much more than ‘get by.’ That’s no life, go out and enjoy the world there’s so much to see and do, life’s too short!!
Hi Steve. Do you ever watch wandering by choice his gas bill seems a lot lower than yours. He is full time as well and has a large motorhome. Look at his recent vlogs in north wales. His gas figures are a lot smaller. Just a thought. Anyway great video. 👍👍
Thanks for your honesty and the reality of full time van life. My husband always says on each video that you two do an amazing job informing and giving us the reality of van life with a son and dog. We would love to support you more on buy me a coffee and pay pal but right now we are going through some hard times. Keep up the great work xxx
Awww thanks very much , you look after yourselfs we’re ok 🥰🥰 hope you get sorted xx
I admire you all as a family. All vlogs I have watched of yours are always very informative, and you are a very down to earth family. Thank you so much for all the advice on this vlog it's been extremely helpful. Mike & Paul Liverpool ❤
Thank you both ☺️
Hi peeps, I think you are brilliant, we are both working with a mortgage, and wish we had the guts to do what you are doing. We have a motorhome and only use for weekends and annual leave. But we love it and wish we could take off for ever. All the best to you all. Keep living the dream x
Thank you and keep enjoying your trips away ☺️
We only started watching you 6 months ago we love the natural way you produce your videos no fancy editing and awful music just raw and true in a great way.

Thank you... I am 81 and stay in place in a brick motor.. It is wonderful watching you living your best life. They have portable washers.. that spin rinse where the clothes are almost dry.. I have one to avoid the laundry machines in our building. You might look into it for alternative with the laundry machines. Such a nice family life!!!
We have a washing machine but you can only do a few items at once so it’s not really practical for winter use as you still have to pay for the dryers
Best waffle we've heard for ages, well done . Down to earth and no hidden agenda.
🤣🙈
Another great vlog, honest and raw. I think the ones that insult you are the ones who are jealous and do not have the guts to do it themselves. Hope Boo get better soon and look forward to your next video.
Thank you yes absolutely ☺️
Great video with a good walk around the subject. I would have been curious to hear Zak's take on the experience so far. What would some of his highlights be. What has he enjoyed best and what might be some of the struggles he may or may not have encountered along the road.
Zak was doing an overnighter with his mate so he was happy!
Great video guys , been watching you for a while now and really looking forward to seeing what you get up to in Holland and Belgium. Me and hubby took early retirement nine years ago , sold our house , bought a very cheap house in France , did it up and now a beautiful house on France, bought a motor home and travel around France in summer and spend our winters in Spain. As you say life is short so live it , take risks and do what makes you happy 😀
Exactly 👍🏻
as always interesting , honest and informative. Keep on vlogging and enjoying life
Thank you ☺️

Very good video, without a script is the best jumping from one subject to another, you are such a genuine couple. I need to look at where to get water apps cause that’s the thing that worries me.

Cheers ☺️
It was interesting and I enjoyed it. Good luck to you all..
Thank you ☺️
Thank you both of you. Interesting and thinking of avian but not giving up the house. Just wish to see the UK and live while I can
There is so much more than 9-5 one life live it!
Been watching you for a while and love your videos and how positive and honest you are. We are planning on full time in March, we are a family of four, we have a boy 13yrs, a girl 12yrs and two dogs one who has a pushchair haha {he only has 3 legs and gets tired quickly} We are very nervous in taking the step of giving the house up but also very excited. Hopefully we might see you on the road sometime xx
Oh fab, the very best of luck with everything, the kids will thrive with experience ☺️
Me and the missus enjoyed that
Warts an all
We travelled Europe in a 7.6 mtr Moho 5 years ago and understand how difficult it can be but what a life
No rent no stress and you are getting it right
Forget the haters , they are just jealous because they are caught in the trap ( especially now) and just working to live
Me and the missus live in a caravan in the uk , jacked our jobs and currently in murcia Doing sod all and knowing we don’t have massive rent to find every month
Keep it up and what a lovely polite boy you have 😊
Ah wow fantastic, enjoy Mercia it’s a lovely place ☺️❤️
another brilliantly informative vlog thank you, one day we will be able to follow our dream, looking forward to another year of great adventures from you thanks.
Thank you ☺️
It's definitely not the glamorous instagram lifestyle that people think it is. Your issues re work, commuting, holidays, money are replaced with worrying about keeping your van mobile and fixing the bits that drop off 😂water, parking, gas, laundry. Plus being cooped up with your other half 27/7 isn't the easiest. Working helps 😁
We have been in the van now 622 days and counting. I seriously can't see me going back to bricks. Not ever.
We need to sort out the car collection/drop off and whatever is easiest for you guys!
Stay warm over there lovelies 💜❤xx
Yes we can sort it when you get back no worries, I know you will look After him ❤️ how you haven’t clobbered and buried a certain person in That amount of time is beyond me 🤣🤣🤣💪🏻💪🏻
I have just spent hours binge watching all your videos since you arrived at Benidorm. I can't believe how well your channel is doing, so pleased for you. I live at Pontefract which isn't far from your home town Steve. I recognised your accent straight away. Glad I am up to date now with your video's and I enjoyed them all. I will ask friends and family to subscribe for you.
Thank you very much! We can’t believe how well the channel has grown either!!
Love watching your videos, keep going

Guys love this vlog and true Vanlife information. Definitely not waffle, interesting to watch and we agree life to short we are so tempted for full time Vanlife,
We love the outdoors and travel, meeting new likeminded people it’s just great. We also have met some lovely people on our travels and we relate to you guys and hope we will meet soon or even to wave 👋 as we travel. Ps my husband Ashley says he used to go to the Ninove VW show many years ago and also had a VW bay window… 👍👍
Just go for it, if it turns out it’s not for you then have a rethink nothings set in stone ☺️
Saltburn-by-the-Sea has free park up with great views over the bay... Plus a place called the Gare
Thank you ☺️
I'm full time van lifer, and well done on the channel and the videos. Great advice for newbies, keep it up.
Ah hello fellow van lifer!
What a great video . Loved your genuine openness giving a wonderful insight into your chosen lifestyle. Keep it up.
Thank you ☺️
You know I've been watching you for months and that was your best vlog yet. You were both so natural and the subject was really interesting. We're in our 60s and still go camping in a tent and like you say , you can feel all the stresses disappearing as you hit the road to who knows where, we just follow the sun 😊. Next step for us is a little Eriba pan familiar so there's room for our 2 year old granddaughter 😊. I think a lot of people don't realise the time and effort it takes to film your vlogs and then edit plus trying to reply to everyone, it probably doesn't leave a lot of you time. Anyway you're doing great 😊😊😊
It’s not a 5 min waft the camera round and stick it on TH-cam like people seem to
Think!! It takes hours of filming and even more hours of editing then even more hours of uploading, the finalising all the details…..the list goes on! But thank you much appreciated ☺️
Thank you for your honest chat. Enjoyed your openness. Thank you guys. I WACH all your videos
Much appreciated ☺️
Very good vlog some very good and interesting points 👍
Looking forward to your next vlog
Stay safe and warm
Thank you ☺️
I've been thinking of vanlife myself.
I rent a property plus bills and I live in a truck all week. Go home friday night and back in Sunday so makes you think why I bother renting.
I've bought a campervan last year to live in and yea I could cut my hours down to enjoy life a bit more. Its just making that move.
This is the thing you work away and pay to rent your property to stay In it 2 nights a week, is it worth it? Why don’t you give it a go you can always rent again if it doesn’t work out 😀
Great video again guys , great idea with the reviews & putting the £ on revolute card . Hugs to all ❤
Thank you ☺️
Great video again, love listening to you guys xx
Thank you ☺️
Really good chat and some good pointers for anyone wanting to go full time, we do lay-bys as well and had some very peaceful nights as well in some of them and agree with the get away comment 😊
Thank you ☺️
Your honestly is awesome 👍🏼 i love my caravan but would love a motorhome, me & my partner been together for 29 years, we dont argue but id still have to go away for 6 months before giving up the brick,, & for the stupid people that dont know dogs, little dogs csnt wslk far & need rest so a doggy pushchair or back bag for a dog is needed & only good responsible owners would know this ❤ & its the responsible ones that pick up after their dogs & others at times 😮 love your honesty & i think you've got an amazing family ❤️ i love you can choose the best places to stay, if you dont like whos moves in nextdoor you can move, love it ..kindness doesn't cost a thing, awesome vlog as always guys ❤🌹🥂
That’s lovely thank you ☺️
Keep vloging n rolling guy's.....sod the nay Sayers.,...love to Boo the most Gorgeous dog on You Tube 😂🎉🎉
He’s a star isn’t he!!
Hi Guys!!!I love your channel, I’ve been watching van life for about 2 half years now, I follow a few, I have 7 granddaughters I have to look after 4 days a week, so van life is impossible for me, plus my hubby not as keen as me, I would love to do it one day when there all grown up but we might be to old by then, watching van life is MY down time I watch it as often as I can, I admire anyone who lives this way and I would say anyone who is in a position to do it, then do it, yous show up the real van life weather your in a lay by or a beach, it’s a fab way to live especially Zak to, your showing him a amazing life while he’s young, il continue to support your channel cos I love it, all the hard work you put in to making these videos for our viewing is much appreciated, hope you will continue your journey, as always take care & stay safe see you on the nxt one lv use❤❤❤❤

Only a few mins in guy’s and wow! Loving this vlog and has really got us thinking, so much more to life than working 9-5🙏 You guy’s are great for keeping it real and you definitely need to waffle more often!😉👍(glad we met you in Stratford)
Thank you we actually thought people would be bored a few mins in but it’s gone down really well!
We've been fulltime for 4yrs and when people ask what's the worse thing and I said it's for not doing it sooner 😂 we chose to do it as all our wages were flying out instead of in 😂 we only work the summer season and get winter off ...... we are spanking the gas too but its OK coz we can afford it lol great vlog as usual xx
Ha ha brilliant answer! You do campsite wardens if you just work the summer??
Is that the humber bridge behind you
No it’s back on home turf we filmed this
Well done for being so open 👍
Thank you ☺️

You've always been honest about full time life in the 'van'.
We may not see the 'warts and all' version, we don't need to but you have given me confidence to follow my dream albeit forced into it due to personal circumstances.
Me personally ?
I'm looking to encompass van life with per sitting in the UK and abroad to self finance the Van Life
Thank you for your vlogs x
Good luck to you ☺️

👍 Gordon The Dundee Trucker🏴👀
Cheers Gordon 😀
Oh wow another great vlog you are brilliant you keep it real and informative don't think you waffle cuz I could listen to you all day. We've had our motorhome 2years and we've learnt loads off you.....ps our dog is a Pug and he goes in a pushchair cuz he's brachialsphalic, we get loads of people commenting we ignore them they are uneducated about dogs 🐕 😅 Katherine you inspire me so much xx
Aww thank you So much comments like that are so much needed for my confidence I can tell you. One bad comment about me and I won’t pick the camera up for a while!
Enjoyed that. I take my hat off to you all. ❤
Aww thank you ☺️
On point, loving the chat about the online trolls, my furbaby has a stroller, great way to get around with a very old pooch. You carry on doing what you do, loving you reviewing products. Good luck with your travels x
Thank you ☺️
Interesting vlog and no bullshit 👍🏴
Good evening to you both me and my wife enjoy your content and travels one question me and my wife often wonder what are you doing for Zack's education ? Safe travels
Hiya so zak is homeschooled following the National curriculum via various online platforms. We don’t video it for various reasons 😊
What a super super vlog from you both
Thank you ☺️
Brilliant vlog, some great information from you both. What happens when you get older concerns me. How would you go on then. Also what about medical provisions. Watched your channel for ages now and you are very genuine people. Keep it going and don’t be a slave to society. You should do a live. Q&A keep it going
So we stayed registered at our regular docs so we still get our prescriptions done there but instead of having a nominated pharmacy they just put the prescription into ‘the spine’ and you can request it from any pharmacy in the uk ☺️
Great vlog guys your so down to earth as a family amazing 👏 ❤ Chris/ Jan
Thank you ☺️
Hi Steve going back to how much you spend on Gas at this time of year, also knowing that Solar charging can be difficult, you did say you had a generator to charge your power packs do you know how much fuel it uses to charge them , Just trying to work out the monthly cost without having to go on a Site many thanks
We have just used roughly £7 in one week on the genni but we are obviously quite power hungry with the two laptops in use
😊 Great video. Can't believe you don't get sick pay.!!!! We get 4 weeks holiday per year and 10 sick days plus we get public holidays. But our retirement age is 65yr! You have freedom😊 That was the huge attraction to us. No lawns, no weeding, no house maintenance, less bills and soooo much freedom. If you don't like ya neighbors you can drive away LOL.😊 I think for mental health it's brilliant! And you appreciate the simple things that others take for granted like water, turning the lights on. And you grow closer as a family! We noticed how material items become essential instead of "just because". You guys are living your dream, you are free 😊 It's so awesome. And your wandering, waffling is a blessing for many 😊
Bless you thank you ☺️
3 years full time vanlife still haven't finished it
Are they ever actually finished 🤣🙈
Another TOP video, very informative and interesting keep up the good work 👍
Thank you ☺️
Very insightful vlog. You are living my dream. One day hopefully soon I will be looking for park ups and changing toilets😂 can’t wait 😜
Ooh fabulous 😀
Very informative thanks guys 👍
Very welcome 🤗
Only one life live it is one of the best things I have heard this week. Ive been working and living in the van away from home for 10 years and for the most part enjoy it. I have finally put it to the missus this week that things need to change. We rent a house, and to put it in perspective for rent/council tax/electricity and heating oil has cost us over £100,000 for just over 4 years. For a house I hardly spend time in, usually home one or 2 days a week at most. Buying loads of things for a house i dont get to use. Its obsene really when you think about it. The plan now is to get a bigger van, convert it this year and then try the van life together. We do plan on seriously reducing what we work to probably 2 days a week each which I reckon will give us enough money to live comfortable enough but we will continue to work. We are young 50s with no real pensions, no savings as such and if things carry on we will both work ourselves in to an early grave with nothing to show for it so why not give it a go? Thats my answer to Why choose Van life lol
But this is exactly what people are caught up in, working to live and paying ridiculous money you either don’t get much use out of or having no money left to do much more than ‘get by.’ That’s no life, go out and enjoy the world there’s so much to see and do, life’s too short!!
Hi Steve. Do you ever watch wandering by choice his gas bill seems a lot lower than yours. He is full time as well and has a large motorhome.
Look at his recent vlogs in north wales.
His gas figures are a lot smaller.
Just a thought.
Anyway great video. 👍👍
Thanks will have a look ☺️
Couldnt find Camper Jazz could you send me link please 😊
