Have to agree on the time of year and number of vans. We find the park ups a lot quieter outside the main school holidays and Love Autumn, Winter and Spring when it is quiet. Where was the click bait? You said you had lost your keys and you had. people are crazy LOL. We are heading south for a couple of weeks over Christmas and New Year. Meeting up with some fulltimers.
Had some comments about the winter snow picture. Some said it implies i would show them how to live Vanlife without a heater 😆 but that wasn't what my idea was. I don't want people to be uncomfortable and miserable, cold and wet. It was the worst time I spent in my van so I definitely wouldn't encourage it.
1:15 - locals say 'It's annoying when you find somewhere peaceful and you can't find parking because people living in vans have taken over the spaces.'
I'd say you're picking on the wrong channel. Myself , ive always argued the point . I avoid car parks like the plague for lots of reasons , one being not to piss locals off . However , car parks are there for all to use and respect . These guys are very respectful as are most of us that are full timers .
When you buy a house you don't own the land outside. That's public space. Free for members of the public. I dont want to park there. And id suggest If you don't want vans parked outside your house you should sign the petition to stop councils charging vanlifers for parking in out the way places. No van owner wants to park outside a house in a busy area. But councils are increasingly putting pressure on us for places to park. The end result is we all need to park somewhere and if the pressure gets to the point outside your house is all we have unfortunately that's where we will end up parking.
Like many, I have seen a channel and watched the video because of the clickbait. They never get watched again regardless of their content along with those that keep on fretting about their subscriber amount. The absolute worse of vanlife channels are those that paint the picture perfect life of paradise beaches and locations, where everyday is perfect and they dress in expensive clothes. It's real or no deal as far as I'm concerned.
If we could afford to run off to the sun and open our doors to nice warm beach we would take you there Rob. But your stuck in raining England for now with us 😆 🤣 it's not all perfect mate, we have boring days, and try to find things to do to get us out the vans.
Thanks mate, never thought of myself as a teenager with his boom boom lol, difference being I'm deaf. I call my van a "Fake Camper" have sent you a vid of it now. I like enjoy most of your vids bruv 👍✌
Silver screens on and diesel heater going as I'm watching this. Solar not the best ..so plugged into the mains (in my cousins yard) at the moment. 4th year full-time and still enjoying it (note not loving it, not in the winter lol) enjoy the videos.
At least your toasty warm. Last few weeks temp hss dropped a fair bit. Do you run your heater over night while asleep or turn it off ? Few people say they don't leave them over night.
@@Roadshome it has to be very cold for us to leave it on low overnight. When we had our house my partner convinced me it was better to sleep in an unheated bedroom (and it is, and you do) just pull the quilt up lol. But in the van ..First one awake flicks the heater on. We have a 2011 motorhome, currently working and trying to save a few quid for our 90 day euro trip next year. No pensions for us... yet ! Lol
I'm thinking of buying a motorhome when funds and health allow mate and enjoy your no nonsense video's. I don't watch the channels that forever show you fantastic park up etc. Before i commit a lot of money I need good honest videos that tell both sides and you and Sioux do that. It's like loads of friends keep telling me to get a camper but being warm in the winter is important to me and in this vid you've answered that question for me. As for why people click on the click-bait titles... it baffles me just the same as those who watch Constipation Street on TV... god there's enough drama in life without watching it on the screen.
Again very wise words Mark, winter is the best, clickbait sucks, there are a few channels out there who say they’d never use it and now they do and their subs have rocketed, guess humans just love negativity, stay safe out there guys 🚐☯️
It's annoying that people only click the click bait. I want to put straight up thumbnails that are not misleading. I'd like people to just click on our picture with no writing but it don't happen. They seam to need "oh my God " it's a shame.
Yes I agree. I want to start but ain't got a clue what to get. Ducato. Transit. Sprinter. I hear good things and bad things. I'm stuck. Looking at around 2016 is. More in for the ducato
Motorhome or van ? If a van get a box shape, the sprinter is harder to work with shape wise. If motorhome they all have good and bad points. I'll make a video for you and explain a lot more.
@thomasjones7082 they are all shit , but an Iveco is the best of the worse lol . Exp mechanic , welder , sparky. I'm on my 5th . Like Mark says, go for a box if you can , you can always put the box on another platform if need be . Any help ir advice needed , shout out 👍🏻
I watch your videos. I love em, want to support you. Titles mean nothing to me. The thing is Mark the key board warriors who do feck all with their lives, want to manipulate, control or change your behaviour. Dont over think it, just ignore them. ❤😊 Keep on keeping on xx Thanks Mark and Sioux click bait away my friends😅😅😅
My MH is a freezer box, I think with a self build you can at least put good insulation in. What pees me off with YT is people don't support you back if your a small channel, especially once they hit that magic no. Its like there's some kind of snobbery or something, 'oh tho aren't worthy of a like or a comment from us in the upper tiers' 😂😂 Click bait is a big bug bear for many but like you say its a marketing strategy, tho I agree it should have some relevance to the content or you risk loosing people who follow for your authenticity. Atb x
We try to support and encourage small channels and will continue to do so. It's hard enough to get started on YT as it is, no one needs to make it any harder. There's plenty room for us all. My van is definitely warmer than sioux in colder months
