  • Disaster strikes and this could have left us HOMELESS while traveling the wild Atlantic way in IRELAND. While living full time in our self built camper, vanlife and travel isn’t always easy, and when disaster strikes on the road you need to get it sorted straight away. Whilst travelling around Ireland we woke up and realised that our fully loaded 55 litre gas tank is hanging off our van which could have been catastrophic to not only us but others too, but after a good cup of tea and a special toasty we got the problem fixed and carried on traveling in our self built campervan living the van life in Ireland . we think youll enjoy this video • Full Time Van Life In ...

    Y'know what Neil,watching you and Emma on your journey is watching real people, down to earth,good people,coping with the same shit that most of us ordinary folk do. You dont have bundles of money,so if things go tits up, you can run back to a comfortable middle-class life like so many other "vanlifers" we see on youtube,just two decent people sharing and caring. Keep on doing what you're doing, fella,we got your back. Love and hugs from your hometown❤.

    You know what I love about you guys?, no it's not your accent, I'm a south London boy and it's taken me ages to understand you......but seriously, it's your HONESTY, and your down to earth videos that are no frills, no nonsense, just giving a straight talking account of your travels with a touch of humour and no arty farty content. So many TH-camr Van-Lifers would have hidden this gas tank mishap for fear of criticism, but you just once again tell it like it is. The way that you battled through this really is so impressive, I know you wouldn't see it that way and would just put it down to one of those things that need sorting, but most of us would have run to the nearest garage and thrown money at them to sort it. Even when you were both under the van there were no tears, just two happy go lucky faces looking up at the camera........Hope I'm lucky enough to bump into you on the road one day on my travels, it would be my pleasure. In the meantime I'll catch up on my Scouse/Cockney translation book just in case we struggle to understand each other........Safe travels guys

    • @UrbanVanlife

      Wow firstly thank you for this amazing comment, we are both really touched that you have taken the time to write this, and yes we totally understand the language barrier as us scouser’s talk very fast, and have our own little sayings and me and Neil are probably worse than most as when we can’t remember what somethings called we make up our own names for things 😂😂😂
      But in all honesty we had to show what happened as it could happen to anyone on the road and if it makes even one person check their van/motorhome more often it’s worth it, and yes it gave us a fright but it had to be dealt with or our travels would have come to end, or even worse if we moved someone could have got hurt and we couldn’t have handled that. Secondly with a comment like you have left, we now feel we will have to hunt you down and give you scouse cuddles 😊😊

    I enjoy the travel content much more than the gadget content and you both seem to be enjoying the freedom of the open road more.
    As for whether you should stick to coast and country rather than towns and cities, my thoughts are stick with what you are both most comfortable with. As my old grandad used to say 'no point forcing the rear door if the front door is open and becoming you in' I don't really know what he meant as he only had a side door up to his flat, but he used to wink when he said it so I assume it was profound 😊
