Hi mate, I’m a self employed carpenter who has a Peugeot Partner van. I use it for work for 8 months a year and live in it for may, june, July and September when I go fishing all over the UK and France and Spain. There is a steel bulkhead in it for work and remove it to live in.I use a carp fishing bed which fits in the passenger side of the van with the seat folded forward. The bed folds up during travelling or daytime. The racking system for my tools doubles up for fishing gear and cooking stuff. A 12v Coleman cool box is perfect for cold stuff. You don’t need a big van, your Kangoo is fine with a bit of thought and organisation. Live your life mate, live your best life. Good luck
@@JM-yd9sm mate I’m 57 yrs old, have very few photos of fish I’ve caught, I’ve just about mastered an iPhone and I get away in the summer( bar August,too stressful with tourists and kids on holiday) to relax and please myself what I do, spending nights in pub car parks between lakes, or just cos I want to. I really don’t want to be messing about trying to film myself, trying to make it interesting, something you lot who post are naturals at giving blokes like me something to watch on the bank or beach. Keep up the good work
Funny enough I'm about to move into a tiny van like your kangoo similar circumstances with my partner relationship falling apart and sick of paying bills and existing... I've prepared slightly better than you did in the beginning though lol ... Any advice ?
love the fact you are back and the fact you are happy you are a truly inspirational guy when i watch your videos it gives me a massive lift and it gives me the confidence to take on challenges myself.
The secret is you always have the confidence inside, you just need to bring it to the surface but I'm glad to hear that my videos have a positive impact on some people. Makes all the effort worth it 😊
Nice to see youve got yourself a place to use as a base now. Don’t worry about going smaller we have a an old mk2 caddy where we are more than happy having our adventures in it. Doesn’t need to be big or new. It’s how you use it to your needs :) good luck love the channel
@@Nomadickangoo Me? No! I Got 2.0l 323F for a good price as secondary car, as I visited more places at weekends, mosty because of my hobbies and also work.. I just had a need for a car, but it was good one. Had an extra battery connected to lighter connection while driving to charge the extra battery that I used to run the car stereo and radio tranciever stuff from.. I would have get rid of all those cars we have had, if they would have not wotked for us.. like the volvo 240 I bought from my now-passed-away-ex so she could upgrage her car.. I had 240 for 8 days, drived it twice or trice, drived it home and to yearly checkup to get the fault list as I had it almost already sold already at one bar night.. Too small cars are too small.. even some volvos are way too small to even driver to fit in :D
Nice video man I am very happy to see you again I seem to have lost your channel for some obscure reason but now you are back. congrats on the new Kangoo. I am looking forward to watching some of your adventures. Thanks for sharing God Bless
nice to hear a down to earth account. i fell into van life as i work all over the country. I live in my van rather than hotels to save money (that i end up spending on the van anyway) and i spend time working on the van that id rather spend with my family. my lifestyle is only half choice. i like the challenge and I'm exited to what my van will be next year. there's a big community of workmen who live out of their van as it suites their job, not because of any big dream of off-grid living, and the hardest part for many of them is time away from their family. This side of van life may be underrepresented. maybe its just me but your videos are a breath of fresh air
@@MattPage-z8m Hey Matt, you sound like you have a great life balance and you sound like you enjoy every part of it 🙏🏻 hoping you and your family an even better 2025
What a lovely story, I was wondering as I was watching the video is it to be a Kangoo again, great little vans, you were so lucky to find such a low mileage example.
Ah Alex I’m so happy to see you back & to see your new adventure vehicle is a Kangoo again. I’ve got a 17 year old Peugeot Partner, homemade into a campervan for adventures & love it. Also have the same little wooden sign as you 😊 Wishing you many more fabulous adventures in your ‘new’ van ❤
Wow ! What a lovely little van , low milage and excellent condition. Well worth the 8 mile run 😀looking forward to your next adventure. Take care . Jen and Paul xx
Don't let the dream die lad. My mini camper got stolen the day before I finished it and that killed me dream for years, now I get severe attacks while driving so until that's sorted I've got years more before I'll ever even attempt it. So I'm just gonna live through you until then!
Personally mate no side sliding door just means you’ve got more space inside to utilise. 👍 just make sure you can get out through. The front of the van just incase someone parks up close behind you and you get trapped
That's great that you're on the way to making your own life now. I would have bought your van. I'm going to try and sell both my vans and go into one like the one you sold. In actual fact, we could have done a swap - my small van for your medium van. I would have paid the difference... But, happy you're happy again and that you're not going to leave vanlife altogether.
I’m so happy that you’ve finally found home and things are good, also good find on the kangoo, but also I really disklike people who just hang up the phone so rudely. Anyway, thanks for your content, it’s really appreciated.. all the best. I’m going through a vehicle breakdown stage at present so I’m a little bit overwhelmed..
Fair play to you mate,at least you got a sensible everyday vehicle ,that doubles up as an adventure vehicle plus you know should you ever need to move back into a van that you can manage living in there.
Can't beat a small van. Can sleep in it if you need to. Great to use for work. Parking, multistorys, drive thrus etc are never an issue. Picking up a washing machine, a sofa, a bed, its all just about manageable. The problem is that when you've got a van.... You are likely to always have a van. Not having a side door is not an issue. I only ever use the backdoors and if i want to get in the front i just climb over the seats (always take the bulk head out)
That car was a nice find. Me and my GF have made some awesome trips on few different cars. Vauxhall(Opel, but made in UK) Vecrta B, Opel Meriva, Scoda Octavia and Mazda 323F BJ, Besides Meriva and Octavia, rest of 3 of the 5 have been my cars. We've had our holidays doing camping and roadtripping, and been speeping on front benches. Last January I upgraded to high roof T5 VW.. not mine yet and neighbour slowly pays off my 323F to him to be.. Still cannot get our stuff in as it's not converted, but the bedding.. full lenght bed is the thing in longer vanning... two weeks of vacation, 4 nights not in a car(4th was because of my bad migraine attack on way home).. 3700+km, from southern finland to northern Norway. We're both way over 180cm, so I basically dropped the idea of bigger small car way before -19. As you said, you do not need that of a car for an adventure, for a living, you need a place to sleep. Front seats are not level enough when tilted to give you space to your legs to relax at night. .. Sorry I made the comment so long, but been doing all those 2veek trips in smaller cars and just this summer started to learn about utilizing the space in "mini"vans.. (we have 75square meters at home we barely fit in because of my stuff[I have room for my stuff, but gotta take some out time to time{and our bunny is not fully freeroaming}], so all these "Lived in a van for this time"-type of channels have had my intrest for a while) I want my car to be my shopping bag and winter liveable summer cabin. ;)
Wow you AND your girl friend fitting into the front seats, thats quite impressive! You sound like you have your self quite the adventures! Good luck with the current conversion and I hope it becomes your liveable summer cabin. 😊
It’s amazing what you can fit in a small space with some thought, my Caddy has pretty much everything I could need in it.. well… not a fixed shower but hey, can’t have it all 🤣
Nice mate. You got a talent, it's you being you. You found a decent balance and thanks for bringing us along on this journey. I'm also nomadic. Slightly less balanced but that's also my path. My kangoo is my 40l backpack. 10 years in Asia now. Home certainly is where I park it. Thanks mate. Best of luck!
2015 Citroen grand Picasso C4. Folds completely flat in the back. Lots of gadgets for the money. You can even sit up in the back. As it’s 2015, £20 road tax a year 😎
Also if you're smart you can sleep in a hatchback. I removed the rear seats from my two door Astra, slide the front seats all the way forward (use shopping baskets behind front seats with a futon on top and you can fit a 6'1 guy at an angle very very comfortably 😂👌
Good on you glad you went back to the original kangoo style I'm thinking about one of these I'm 5,10 could I lie down in one I want it for the same reasons as yourself
As also a former Kangoo owner, I get you. 😂 Currently I have a Ford Custom high top and it‘s a luxury to stand up in and lots of space… but there is a huge part of me that can‘t wait to get back to a cosy smaller vehicle. Might not be a kangoo but around that size. I am worried I am just romanticizing the past, so let‘s see how you get on and then I will decide. It‘s all on you now, mate hahahaha
@@lynnemarie7885 hahaha I've been currently converting it at the moment and will be going out in it this weekend.. I will let you know, I might have been romanticising it as well 🤣
Hope you show us the conversion if any I thought about the sliding door I’ve got a 2001 kangoo I’ve had it for 14 years to me it was my work vehicle and now we’re both retired but I must admit I wish it had got a sliding door 😀
@@Nomadickangoo I was so concentrated on making sure it had a tailgate instead of barn doors. But I'm converting it and putting it on my channel in the next month. I've started filming 😀
If it's adventure you're wanting, a motorbike and a tent is the best option I've found so far. I've got a small camper myself but nothing beats a motorbike for eating miles! Glad you're in another Kangoo though. Feels right. You should definitely always have emotional connections to vehicles though. It's a huge part of life for most people. I can't stand owning vehicles that don't fill me with joy.
Hey mate glad you are in a house, think its gonna be far more healthy for you long term. Then the freedom you want when you want, full circle kangoo to kangoo great stuff
the main issue with living in a house is the mortgage and the rent prices. plus the negative side of being in one place and have regular daily routine. when you work full time you have limited time for adventures. you also most of the time around concrete boxes. that's the positive side in van life, you have a home that you own and actually can modify and do something but in a house you pay lots of money for permissions make the changes.
Not having a sliding door means you could potentially put the bed on the passenger side and can jump in the front without having to fold the bed away if you need to drive off quickly
You done yourself a favour Alex when you called about the estate car. Is it big enough for someone to sleep in? you asked. I wonder what went through her mind when you said that? Good choice getting a better Kangoo, less mileage and less to worry about with no sliding door that might leak or rust around the edges. One tip, if you have not already done so, get the belts checked for wear or ageing and if it needs an oil change. Cars that stand for long periods are more of a concern with those items, than one that is used daily.
I reside in a 2006 Citroen Berlingo 19 Diesel none turbo van, I'm 5 11 tall, I'm 60 and still work 5 days a week and I'll never return to bricks and mortar, I'm sorry you can keep that. I have had the bigger van but much prefer my small van that still looks like a works van no solar on the roof nothing and Monday to Friday I stay on the industrial estate where I work the weekend I stay in a caravan park where I can shower and wash my clothes,, anyway all the best my friend
Berlingo mpv, seats come out or all fold down 1.6hdi good on fuel twin sliding doors lift up boot for when its raining ;) is a car on insurance , but hey ho you got what you wanted so that's great , so what's the next adventure ?
Im sure a Berlingo is also an amazing camping car, but Kangoo was calling me 🤣I think quick little conversion and up to the mountains somewhere I reckon
Im about to move into my small van similar size to your kangoo... Mines a bipper ... Similar circumstances rent being to high and my relationship falling apart Ive prepared well van wise Any advice?
Dude, honestly, that means a lot. The amount of work a video takes when you are the only camera guy, director, editor, and story writer. It's nice to see when people appreciate it 👌🏻
Nice to see youve opted to get another Kangoo, can I ask tho do you have to pay ulez in that compared to your old van that looked ulez exempt? I live within an emission zone control so can only get 2016 year onwards diesel.
I Transform a 2014 Citroën Aircross [Picasso] into a Camper where I live, & I have a Trailer where I put my Bathroom, my office & my Motorbike. Everything Stealth. I'm doing this in Brazil. In April I'll be in Italy & I have a similar project like yours
Some bills yes, but it's only money at the end of the day, I never did van life to save money. I was looking for a place I belonged, which I think I've found

Good choice getting a better Kangoo, less mileage and less to worry about with no sliding door that might leak or rust around the edges. One tip, if you have not already done so, get the belts checked for wear or ageing and if it needs an oil change. Cars that stand for long periods are more of a concern with those items, than one that is used daily.
It's all booked into a garage to get the once over and a little service 😇
I reside in a 2006 Citroen Berlingo 19 Diesel none turbo van, I'm 5 11 tall, I'm 60 and still work 5 days a week and I'll never return to bricks and mortar, I'm sorry you can keep that.
I have had the bigger van but much prefer my small van that still looks like a works van no solar on the roof nothing and Monday to Friday I stay on the industrial estate where I work the weekend I stay in a caravan park where I can shower and wash my clothes,, anyway all the best my friend
@@PaulMurphy-f9q 100% with you small vans just feel more cosy as well. Stay strong 💪🏻
@@Nomadickangoo Cheers my friend all the best
maybe get a small van again just at weekends or when u can 😂
You called it 👏
Berlingo mpv, seats come out or all fold down 1.6hdi good on fuel twin sliding doors lift up boot for when its raining ;) is a car on insurance , but hey ho you got what you wanted so that's great , so what's the next adventure ?
Im sure a Berlingo is also an amazing camping car, but Kangoo was calling me 🤣I think quick little conversion and up to the mountains somewhere I reckon
Renaults don't rust👍
I fully expected rust, had it checked out and it was rust free! 🙏
Im about to move into my small van similar size to your kangoo... Mines a bipper ... Similar circumstances rent being to high and my relationship falling apart
Ive prepared well van wise
Any advice?
Enjoy it, it doesn't last forever
Not to be all doom and gloom bud, but what happens is your friend gets a parter or wants to move on, just be careful big chap
He has a partner, I live with them 😂
Fantastic to see you back. ❤❤❤

Kangoo Can Go
You can do, when you Kan-goo!
Full wheel steering lock needed blood. Security first.
Mate, you’re an incredible storyteller! Editing is quality too 👌🏻
Dude, honestly, that means a lot. The amount of work a video takes when you are the only camera guy, director, editor, and story writer. It's nice to see when people appreciate it 👌🏻
Aww made up for you, back in a Kangoo 😊
❤️
Nice to see youve opted to get another Kangoo, can I ask tho do you have to pay ulez in that compared to your old van that looked ulez exempt? I live within an emission zone control so can only get 2016 year onwards diesel.
Unfortunately it's not ulez compliant, but I now avoid London as much as possible
Cool but have you trained for your next ultramarathon?
@@CraigPitts ultra ready all year round, son. Try keep up this time.
What goes around comes around! No need to change your channel name either LoL!
That is so true! Maybe 'not so nomadic kangoo' but doesn't have the same ring to it 🤣
Get a Chrysler Voyager stow and go
No Kan-goo i'm afraid
@@Nomadickangoomuch better mpg from a kangoo!
wow what was the chances had to be a sign 😂
When I saw it on auto trader, I just knew!
Checkout someone called Houseless marty who has lived van life for a very long time now lives in Portugal 🇵🇹 in a camper.
Thanks for the recommendation 💪🏻

@Nomadickangoo 😂 only messing, ive watched all your videos, I'm glad your back in a kangoo 🚙
@GrahamJ-q8t Its all cool my man ✌🏻, there's lots of words I can't pronounce 😂 stay safe out there 💪🏼
You are going to regret this you could have developed into the runaway whirlwind life goals success that sweaty sandals had become...
Think I will stick to my own path 🙏
@@Nomadickangoo Wise words and thought process indeed!

Yes but surely now in a home you have loads of bills
Some bills yes, but it's only money at the end of the day, I never did van life to save money. I was looking for a place I belonged, which I think I've found
