Hey Andrew, you sound a little low on energy so I hope that this message brings you some happiness. I know that I cannot be the only person that sees a video from you and it puts a smile on my face. I went to Dusseldorf with the hope of bumping into you so that I could say in person just how inspirational you are. Do take the time, as you appear to be doing so, to put your own interests first. It is nice to be valued by others but value starts from within. I can tell you that in this household we value you!
Hello from a Dane . You makes the best videos, about ev with caravans . No one in Denmark make something like you. So your videos count in the matter of , shall my next towing car be electric or not. Keep up your good work.
I always enjoy listening to your calm soothing voice and the informative content of your videos. No loud music, no dashing about, no gimmicks, just friendly communication. Thank you Andrew. Look forward to any snippets that you have from the NEC, no matter how small. X
You may not feel valued much by "The Industry", Andrew, but be in NO DOUBT that you are valued by those who subscribe to and/or watch your videos. Trusted comments and advice about vans/caravans, with s sense of humour and obvious decency. That's what we want, and that's what you provide. So thanks for your videos...
There are loads of great comments here with which I agree, but Raymond captures my thoughts perfectly. To your viewers the industry is simply somewhere we spend our money. Here in your channel we find what we can believe in, and what we cherish.
Andrew, I had to think about what I was going to say, but well here goes, I’ve followed your channel for many years, you made me fall in love with Airstreams. I knew that I could never really be able to own one, but watching you and dougel was therapy. I love your calm respectful approach, I bought an Adria caravan, a new VW Tiguan and went off to travel around the uk when I wasn’t working, my caravan was my sanctuary. 4 years ago I was made redundant by a company I had worked for 34 years, a company I was proud of, they paid me the minimum redundancy, had no chance to say goodbye and when I returned my uniform, it was dumped in a plastic bag and thrown away. I had to sell the caravan and the car and felt worthless until I almost made a terrible decision. Andrew you have 80.3k subscribers, you have influenced and advised thousands of people who have started traveling with caravans or motorhomes, go to the NEC, meet people who truly value you and hold your head up high, I think you’re a highly professional and intelligent creator and a great chap
We missed the show this year due to illness despite having tickets. Would have liked to have said hello - we miss you in the industry!! The only TRUE genuine human in this industry!!!!
Good for you Andrew, never be too proud to change your mind - enjoy yourself and hope you meet lots of your followers. Unfortunately im there earlier in the week so wont see you, but your channel was so very helpful when i started my motorhoming adventures 😘
Lovely to hear from you Andrew. Great that you are attending with the intention, hopefully, to fill your well with friendship - people not products, sounds great to me. I think you'd be surprised about how inspired people may be by local/low impact travel. It's what we do with our caravan,. Over the years, having done Lands End to John O'Groats and all manner in between, most of our trips are shorter these days, meeting up with friends, just enjoying life. Love seeing little glimpses of your train travel too, and of course, "the boys". Hi from Monty the spaniel. Much strength to you and do enjoy catching up with friends at the NEC x
As a number of people have mentioned you are valued here by your viewers. Personally my first trip to Europe with my husband it was your videos I watched and it gave me confidence to go and do it, if your able to give joy and hope to just a few people then that’s amazing.
Hi Andrew, enjoyed your videos of living in the outer Hebrides and lost you from my feed when you went south, for family reasons. I hear you have at least a p/t J.O.B. too, they are good for widening your network but restrictive when the spring/Summer/ Autumn holiday travelling season is on. I recently gave up m6 p/t J.O.B., 3 days x 3 hrs so as I could focus more on my main business of helping others save money, walk our 3 dogs and be less knackered for my wife in the evenings and weekends. Hope you enjoy the show, not been to that one, only the Scottish one and we ended up buying a new van! We downsized to a Professional Panel Van conversion this year, which we are happy with and it actually has more useable space for us and the dogs, and a better toilet and shower room than our bigger van. I do miss the island bed/bedroom, but my wife is happier driving the narrower van so I get more breaks on journeys, which is a compromise.
We went to NEC last year and we were delighted to meet you and chat with you last October. We have since bought a Bailey Phoenix and aren't going this year. You are very valued Andrew and I am sure people will be thrilled to see you like we were. Enjoy! 😊
Ah that's a shame, I'll miss you as I'm going Saturday. Actually, I enjoy watching people moaning about why they didn't enjoy stuff much more than watching people gushing about how they loved something that's distinctly average (not accusing you of doing that of course). Not being valued by the industry is disappointing, as you've done enough for them over the years. However, you should try being a TH-cam scrub at the NEC, where you have to fight to get in the halls 30 mins early lol. They don't scratch my back, so I certainly am not scratching theirs... Enjoy the show !
I’m really looking forward to hearing your opinions about the new Xplore range of caravans. After your comments on the Adria Altea Dart’s suitability for taller people with the larger bed, I am keen to know your opinions about other caravans with larger beds. Don’t underestimate your reach. Don’t overestimate the importance of the industry approaching you before the shows. Your review of the Bailey Discovery persuaded us to buy a D4/2, and we said so to Bailey. I loved your calm caravan films and nobody will ever forget My Caravan My Sanctuary. Your knowledge and research on EV cars, the V2L and the future of caravans post 2025 has been groundbreaking and hugely influential. So many other people have deferred to your research. Being recognised by the industry cannot be or should not be the most important thing, particularly in a time when so many are shouting for attention. You have an enduring influence and a distinct and leading voice. You also have a substantial numbers of followers and friends.
Would love to have met you but we are going on Wednesday so ‘helloo’ from Somerset anyway. Don’t sell your trips short, they are what most of us love and do, your experience is invaluable.
Andrew, have enjoyed & appreciated your caravan reviews for years - certainly the most informative and honest - even the measuring tape checking the beds! Don't fade away.
Hello Andrew i must say i love your videos as a fellow ev driver and caravaner and a seller of caravans i have learnt alot from your videos hope to see you at the show but might not get achance as will be working on the coachman stand. And i will say you are valued by the caravan community 😊
Hope you enjoy the NEC on Friday, would have been brilliant to meet you but we will have been and gone by then. Please dont underestimate how much your followers learn from you, trust your opinion and just enjoy watching you and your boys. Xxxx
I'm sorry I'll miss you at the NEC as I'm going another day. A chat with you after your talk a couple of years back really helped me decide between a caravan and campervan, so thank you! I'd certainly enjoy a talk on slow travel and taking time to smell the roses!
Not sure whether I'm going on the Friday yet but enjoy seeing everyone, so glad you decided to go! You are valued very much by everyone who follows you, people love to see and talk to you! Take care, Say hi to everyone if I don't make it, hugs xxx
I always enjoy your videos, they are so professionally produced and the best caravan/motorhome videos on TH-cam in my opinion. With your wealth of knowledge and experience I have no idea why the industry doesn’t value you because there’s no doubt your subscribers do. I hope you had a good day on Friday. I’m looking forward to seeing your reviews. Thanks for sharing.
@Andrew Ditton, we are so excited you are coming to the show on Friday. My wife and I are both disabled caravaners and it is your calm, no hype well filmed and explained videos that have both informed and entertained us (while the content hasn’t been influenced like some TH-camrs LOL) over the last 7 years since we saw one of your videos and took the plunge to buy a cheap 2nd hand van. We will both be there with our assistance dogs so would love the chance to meet you and get a picture with you. Maybe even a sneaky little “helloooooo”
Hey Andrew love all your videos on caravans have helped use when buying are first van. Hope seeing the people that matter to you boost your energy and self.
Dear Andrew. You are much more valued than you might believe. Your videos have inspired and so have you with your straightforward and honest personality. Im a Dittoliever! 😃 Lots of hugs from Tommy in Denmark ❤
Sorry we can’t see you on Friday but we can’t make the show this year, would certainly have come iver to say hello - will look forward to seeing your vlog - keep going, lots of people love what you do Andrew
We value you greatly Andrew😍 If we would love to see you there on Friday, but as we live in Guernsey it’s not possible this time. Your professional approach to the business is gold standard, don’t let anything make you think otherwise. From Nigel and Tina
Bugger, originally due to go Friday, but have had to change it to Thursday, so will miss you. Hopefully you will enjoy yourself and see some of the subscribers, you are most definitely valued by us subscribers 😊
Have a fabulous day, I bet you’ll be swamped by “hullo, sorry!”s from loads of folks! Apologies that I can’t be one of them this time :( so here’s a remote “hello!” and some best wishes.
Hi Andrew, you are a valued member of the caravan & motorhome community, and we were concerned to see you so low. Please keep the blogs coming as we enjoy watching them and they are always very interesting. We love seeing you and of course Dougal, Ted and Bradley. We are now going on Friday to the NEC to meet you and show support. From Kate, Barry and our 3 dogs.
We love watching your videos. Please know that you feel valued by us. Sorry, we will miss you at nec as we aren't going this year. Loads of helloooooooooos please. 😊
My word, you're very much valued by me, and I'm sure by your followers. You have done so much promotion of "the industry" you deserve to slow down and definitely you should not feel the need to compete with other You Tubers. We all choose who we wish to follow and warch. I love your calmness, sense of humour, knowledge and of course Dougal and Ted (& now Bradley). I look forward to your next NEC laid back video. Good luck with your new home. Cheers ❤🚐🐾😍xxxx
Its sad to hear and see you feeling let down by the industry. It's a sad time for caravaning as a whole i feel and this added to the gloom. We really miss your brightly coloured videos and positive outlooks.
I think you are under selling yourself, I think more of us will benefit from understanding and doing what you are doing, the industry and people hate changes but we can all benefit from changes. You should have been doing talks in the Everything Electric Show (The Fully Charged Show)! Inspiring people in the great benefits of towing with an EV! And lots of people would benefit at the NEC from your amazing knowledge!!🙏🏼
Hey Andrew, I hope you have a better time at the NEC. It's a shame we will miss you as would like to meet sometime but we are going on the Tuesday. But if you ever going caravaning over the winter or next year to Devizes camping and caravanning club site as that's where me and my hubby Alex will be working.
Hello Andrew have a great day Friday I'm there Saturday It would have been nice to say Hello. You actually gave me inspiration to go buy a new caravan last year and start touring again after watching your vlogs Best wishes Geoff
I've been reading a few, well a lot really of the comments everyone else has made on here. Did you notice the common theme amongst them?! They all said that you were so valued in their eyes and that you have helped so many different people and they are all so grateful to you! I know you relied on the 'industry' before because it meant the difference between putting bread on the table and going without! You haven't got that pressure now so just listen to all these comments and take it all in and think about them and realise how much you are valued! I think you just cannot grasp the fact that you have changed so many lives!! You are undervaluing yourself again! Take care xxx
We will be there on the Saturday so will miss you. Good to see a bit of buzz about the Xplore range. Wonder if Elddis would be interested in giving us a personal tour and what not…
Thank you Andrew for continuing with your videos, I always look forward to and enjoy them. Love seeing Dougal & Ted (well obviously, that's why I keep watching…). I wish you all well.
Hope you have a great day on Friday. Like you due to work my wife and I will be there on Saturday, so really sorry to have missed you. All the very best.
Andrew you have always been appreciated. Enjoy life with your new partner. Buy the Xplore duo or Unicorn Madrid. Don't let people affect you xx 😘 😌 Hello
Talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth! Some people are very short sighted, we are driving about in a Vantage Rio because of you!! I hope you have a smashing time and we will look out for any video you might make x
Hi Andrew I have enjoyed your comments & personality.Im sorry you have felt not valued.But I can't believe that there aren't people close to you that love & value you x❤
Hi Andrew, I'm actually not going this year. Long story. But had I been there, there would have been three people to look out for (in no order of importance ! ) You Cameron Phil & Julia All wonderful 👌 Yes I too am looking forward to seeing your review of the new 'grown up' [Basecamp-ish] Xplores 👍
Looking forward to seeing you again this year - I must have known Friday was the best day to go !! HILLLOOOO 😂 As we told you last year - it’s your fault we’re caravaners anyway !
Hi Andrew, if you happen to come across some small caravans that have a seating area I could keep made up as a bed and a small dinette I'd be very pleased to hear about them. I've been looking at yours (of course) and the T&B 400. It's just me and the dog and don't fancy having to make the bed every day! Many thanks! Sharon
Hi Andrew, no one does caravan and motor home reviews as well as you. We have followed you for a good while and appreciate your knowledge, honesty and integrity. You are valued by many people. Thanks and continue to keep in touch with your subscribers. All the best Sheila and Gavin ❤
❤ good to hear, you are going. This time we do not come from Germany to Birmingham😢. But hope we will see you soon😉 And by the way….. I love your hooolooooo🥰😍
Nope, i disagree! I think a presentation about good caravan routes and campsites in the UK would be very interesting. I live in Cornwall and I see so many folk with caravans snd motor homes going down totally unsuitable roads, having chosen to follow Google maps or Sat Navs. Circular UK routes could be very interesting to those who can only afford/are allowed short breaks. Dont dismiss the amazing knowledge that you have! Good news re house. Love the pic of you with arms full of doggos - so sweet!
At some point in our lives we all make a decision, do we live out lives by what others think of us, or are secure ourselves enough to say 🤬’em, let THEM worry about what I think of them. Whatever you are, BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE‼️ Head up, chin high, smile because you know you’re a good person and LIVE life to its fullest! We love ya bud, hugs and best wishes! 💛👍🏼🤠👋🏽
Andrew, people confuse Value and Worth all the time, in this case your value is the interest we place in you, your ‘worth’ is self perceived and how you feel appreciated I think the 80 or more comments to this end tells you all you need to know… we are watching you and not Peter Vaughan for a reason, keep it real,
So sorry youre not feeling appreciated. We think youre fantastic, love ALL of your videos. Our 11 year old and us would have loved to meel you at the NEC and say "helloo", unfortunately we're only there on the Saturday. Hope those that do get to see you can show you just how valued you are in the community! Your reviews helped us decide on our 304 and a Twusch.
The business has gone too corporate imo. It only reaches out when it can use you for their benefit. Profit before morality is their unspoken mantra these days.
At the risk of sounding like a brexit supporter i think you being snubbed in Germany is clear sign you should stay in the UK for the trade shows..if you're going to pick up sponsors , it'll be at home!!.❤️🇬🇧
Just right , perfectly entitled to change your mind if it suits your circumstances much better , you look great Andrew and the picture of happiness , by the way my long term dream of heading to The Outer Hebrides in a few years time has been thoroughly squashed after watching ROZ and Winston her dog in a Micro Camper and her adventures on You Tube , definitely not for me , should have done it 30 years ago when I was fit and healthy and now I have even more respect for you , Andrew doing what you did , take care , beeeeee happy 😊❤😊
It’s a funny world we live in now. The loyalty thing has gone in every industry. Shame really but your 80K plus subscribers do and as one I have greatly valued your knowledge and experiences over the years. Chin up and say good riddance to all of them. Wait till they need something promoted then it will be a different story.
Andrew we all miss you, please cheap your chin up, the industry is complimised because the stuff they make is crap, l,I've been caravan in for almost 40 years and recently it's turned to rubbish, looks nice but that's it, still leak, unsupported frames just utter rubbish,and they cost a fortune, please keep up your good work, we love you. Take care.
Andrew you sound very low .Feel you financialy struggling a bit .Has something else happened you are not sharing .You sound a bit lost and very fed up . NEC is great thing you have always been part of. Can you please show Dethleffs range .These are very well made and very competitively priced. Happy Travellers just traded in their wiseberg carabus for Dethleff just go .Sold their boat. Andrew .Very uncertain times for everyone. Most people are feeling same as you to slow down ,reflect and reform with new feelings, thoughts ,ideas .New things. The past few years have been riddled with uncertainties .The very fabric of trust and belief really has been ripped out of us in the potties politics having control of all of our lives and if still goes on unfortunatly .We are human first.Nothing is easy the way the world is at the moment till we have those new thoughts feelings and ideas the trigger positive change and better world.For that to happen it needs all the good people and a force of good to grown together and that can't happen If someone like you stops being part of all of that. Have been with you since your first you tube.My daughter and I really really miss you and seeing our boys growing up together.Remember on your motorbike all those years ago .When you are thinking of giving up.Just think of me and my daughter and so many other people like me who care very much about you and want to see you. Who are these people who have upset you. Go to NEC and ENJOY IT .We only have one life its not a run up for something else .At end of day you have to be true to yourself and do what makes you happy so the boys are happy and everyone's happy. You cannot let a hand full of people define your life . Might be whole new set of people next year. Hope you stay with us because it would make us feel very sad if you didn't. Get your b12 .D3 hormone and zinc checked out.Iron smear as well. Take care of yourself Andrew.Stay Strong and Stay with us. Love Allways. Susanne X
Thanks Suzanne. First off, I recently had the B12 and iron tested and all is good. I think the only reason I sound tired in this video is because I’d been at work all day and wanted to get this recorded, so it was just superficial tiredness. I’ll do another vid soon saying why I didn’t really enjoy Düsseldorf, hence pre-NEC anxiety. I ended up going and having a blast. As it happens I’m happier and more secure now than I have been for many many years. Thank you so much for your valued support.
Hey Andrew, you sound a little low on energy so I hope that this message brings you some happiness. I know that I cannot be the only person that sees a video from you and it puts a smile on my face. I went to Dusseldorf with the hope of bumping into you so that I could say in person just how inspirational you are. Do take the time, as you appear to be doing so, to put your own interests first. It is nice to be valued by others but value starts from within. I can tell you that in this household we value you!
Lovely sentiments. I wholeheartedly agree, Andrew is a gentleman.
aww thank you! I had worked a long day so was a little tired, that’s all 😊
Hello from a Dane . You makes the best videos, about ev with caravans . No one in Denmark make something like you. So your videos count in the matter of , shall my next towing car be electric or not. Keep up your good work.

We missed the show this year due to illness despite having tickets. Would have liked to have said hello - we miss you in the industry!! The only TRUE genuine human in this industry!!!!
Well, we value you too, it will be great to see you going to the show. 😊
Good for you Andrew, never be too proud to change your mind - enjoy yourself and hope you meet lots of your followers. Unfortunately im there earlier in the week so wont see you, but your channel was so very helpful when i started my motorhoming adventures 😘

I hear you have at least a p/t J.O.B. too, they are good for widening your network but restrictive when the spring/Summer/ Autumn holiday travelling season is on.

Hope you enjoy the show, not been to that one, only the Scottish one and we ended up buying a new van!
We downsized to a Professional Panel Van conversion this year, which we are happy with and it actually has more useable space for us and the dogs, and a better toilet and shower room than our bigger van. I do miss the island bed/bedroom, but my wife is happier driving the narrower van so I get more breaks on journeys, which is a compromise.

But if you ever going caravaning over the winter or next year to Devizes camping and caravanning club site as that's where me and my hubby Alex will be working.
Hi Andrew. Have a wonderful day. I am sure there will be plenty of Folk who would love to see you. Thanks Phil & Juliet🙂👍
Oh bollocks, I'm leaving back to France on Thursday. 😢 Enjoy it. And remember your viewers are the ones who value you.
Hello Andrew have a great day Friday I'm there Saturday It would have been nice to say Hello. You actually gave me inspiration to go buy a new caravan last year and start touring again after watching your vlogs
Best wishes Geoff
I've been reading a few, well a lot really of the comments everyone else has made on here. Did you notice the common theme amongst them?! They all said that you were so valued in their eyes and that you have helped so many different people and they are all so grateful to you! I know you relied on the 'industry' before because it meant the difference between putting bread on the table and going without! You haven't got that pressure now so just listen to all these comments and take it all in and think about them and realise how much you are valued! I think you just cannot grasp the fact that you have changed so many lives!! You are undervaluing yourself again! Take care xxx
See you on Friday looking forward to that we’ve not seen you for ages Andrew
We will be there on Friday, would love to see you Andrew 💙👍🏻 Trev n Sue
We will be there on the Saturday so will miss you. Good to see a bit of buzz about the Xplore range. Wonder if Elddis would be interested in giving us a personal tour and what not…
Hope you had a good time! 👍
@@andrewjditton yea, not bad. Lack of caravans but nice, you have a good one?
Thank you Andrew for continuing with your videos, I always look forward to and enjoy them. Love seeing Dougal & Ted (well obviously, that's why I keep watching…). I wish you all well.
Hi Andrew. Never been to a van exhibition so this is all I can do ¨Hello, sorry¨, from Portugal.
Ha ha! Works for me, thank you 😁
Hope you have a great day on Friday. Like you due to work my wife and I will be there on Saturday, so really sorry to have missed you. All the very best.
Your an inspiration to so many people…you deserve to chill
Looking forward to all the gossip! 🚗🚌😉x
Andrew you have always been appreciated. Enjoy life with your new partner. Buy the Xplore duo or Unicorn Madrid. Don't let people affect you xx 😘 😌 Hello
On t adore Andrew, continue tes vidéos et ce que tu fais pour le monde de la caravane.
Gros bisous de France 😘🇨🇵
Gaëtan et José 🥰
Talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth! Some people are very short sighted, we are driving about in a Vantage Rio because of you!! I hope you have a smashing time and we will look out for any video you might make x
NoT going to NEC this year - we can’t afford to replace the motorhome we already have !!
Hi Andrew looking forward to your review from the NEC .👍
Hi Andrew I have enjoyed your comments & personality.Im sorry you have felt not valued.But I can't believe that there aren't people close to you that love & value you x❤
Good for you. Live your own life.
Hi Andrew,
I'm actually not going this year.
Long story.
But had I been there, there would have been three people to look out for (in no order of importance ! )
You
Cameron
Phil & Julia
All wonderful 👌
Yes I too am looking forward to seeing your review of the new 'grown up' [Basecamp-ish] Xplores 👍
Make sure you call to see me!
Aww nice one. We are going on Friday. Hopefully see you there
Looking forward to seeing you again this year - I must have known Friday was the best day to go !! HILLLOOOO 😂
As we told you last year - it’s your fault we’re caravaners anyway !
Hi Andrew, if you happen to come across some small caravans that have a seating area I could keep made up as a bed and a small dinette I'd be very pleased to hear about them. I've been looking at yours (of course) and the T&B 400. It's just me and the dog and don't fancy having to make the bed every day! Many thanks! Sharon
Hi Andrew, no one does caravan and motor home reviews as well as you. We have followed you for a good while and appreciate your knowledge, honesty and integrity. You are valued by many people. Thanks and continue to keep in touch with your subscribers. All the best Sheila and Gavin ❤
Damn will miss you as there Wednesday & Thursday! Hope you enjoy your day there. Matt & Gemma 😊
❤ good to hear, you are going. This time we do not come from Germany to Birmingham😢. But hope we will see you soon😉
And by the way….. I love your hooolooooo🥰😍
Thank you.
Nope, i disagree! I think a presentation about good caravan routes and campsites in the UK would be very interesting. I live in Cornwall and I see so many folk with caravans snd motor homes going down totally unsuitable roads, having chosen to follow Google maps or Sat Navs. Circular UK routes could be very interesting to those who can only afford/are allowed short breaks. Dont dismiss the amazing knowledge that you have! Good news re house. Love the pic of you with arms full of doggos - so sweet!
At some point in our lives we all make a decision, do we live out lives by what others think of us, or are secure ourselves enough to say 🤬’em, let THEM worry about what I think of them. Whatever you are, BE THE BEST YOU CAN BE‼️ Head up, chin high, smile because you know you’re a good person and LIVE life to its fullest! We love ya bud, hugs and best wishes! 💛👍🏼🤠👋🏽
We will be there Saturday would be great to see you again if your still there
Such a shame Andrew as you are valued by all of your subscribers. Glad you're going. X
Andrew, people confuse Value and Worth all the time, in this case your value is the interest we place in you, your ‘worth’ is self perceived and how you feel appreciated I think the 80 or more comments to this end tells you all you need to know… we are watching you and not Peter Vaughan for a reason, keep it real,
Thanks a lot Alan.
Well, maybe a few dozen “industry insiders” do not appreciate you, but “80,000 subscribers” do
So sorry youre not feeling appreciated. We think youre fantastic, love ALL of your videos. Our 11 year old and us would have loved to meel you at the NEC and say "helloo", unfortunately we're only there on the Saturday. Hope those that do get to see you can show you just how valued you are in the community! Your reviews helped us decide on our 304 and a Twusch.
Thank you so much!
The business has gone too corporate imo. It only reaches out when it can use you for their benefit. Profit before morality is their unspoken mantra these days.
At the risk of sounding like a brexit supporter i think you being snubbed in Germany is clear sign you should stay in the UK for the trade shows..if you're going to pick up sponsors , it'll be at home!!.❤️🇬🇧
Just right , perfectly entitled to change your mind if it suits your circumstances much better , you look great Andrew and the picture of happiness , by the way my long term dream of heading to The Outer Hebrides in a few years time has been thoroughly squashed after watching ROZ and Winston her dog in a Micro Camper and her adventures on
You Tube , definitely not for me , should have done it 30 years ago when I was fit and healthy and now I have even more respect for you , Andrew doing what you did , take care , beeeeee happy 😊❤😊
It’s a funny world we live in now. The loyalty thing has gone in every industry. Shame really but your 80K plus subscribers do and as one I have greatly valued your knowledge and experiences over the years. Chin up and say good riddance to all of them.
Wait till they need something promoted then it will be a different story.
Nice to see you, we’re not going as they don’t allow dogs.
You say you feel you are not valued by the industry, yes when you tell the truth it can become embarassing to them.
Andrew we all miss you, please cheap your chin up, the industry is complimised because the stuff they make is crap, l,I've been caravan in for almost 40 years and recently it's turned to rubbish, looks nice but that's it, still leak, unsupported frames just utter rubbish,and they cost a fortune, please keep up your good work, we love you. Take care.

Bit of a drama queen here.
🙏❤️👍
Andrew you sound very low .Feel you financialy struggling a bit .Has something else happened you are not sharing .You sound a bit lost and very fed up .
NEC is great thing you have always been part of.
Can you please show Dethleffs range .These are very well made and very competitively priced.
Happy Travellers just traded in their wiseberg carabus for Dethleff just go .Sold their boat.
Andrew .Very uncertain times for everyone. Most people are feeling same as you to slow down ,reflect and reform with new feelings, thoughts ,ideas .New things.
The past few years have been riddled with uncertainties .The very fabric of trust and belief really has been ripped out of us in the potties politics having control of all of our lives and if still goes on unfortunatly .We are human first.Nothing is easy the way the world is at the moment till we have those new thoughts feelings and ideas the trigger positive change and better world.For that to happen it needs all the good people and a force of good to grown together and that can't happen If someone like you stops being part of all of that.
Have been with you since your first you tube.My daughter and I really really miss you and seeing our boys growing up together.Remember on your motorbike all those years ago .When you are thinking of giving up.Just think of me and my daughter and so many other people like me who care very much about you and want to see you.
Who are these people who have upset you.
Go to NEC and ENJOY IT .We only have one life its not a run up for something else .At end of day you have to be true to yourself and do what makes you happy so the boys are happy and everyone's happy.
You cannot let a hand full of people define your life .
Might be whole new set of people next year.
Hope you stay with us because it would make us feel very sad if you didn't.
Get your b12 .D3 hormone and zinc checked out.Iron smear as well.
Take care of yourself Andrew.Stay Strong and Stay with us.
Love Allways.
Susanne X
Thanks Suzanne. First off, I recently had the B12 and iron tested and all is good. I think the only reason I sound tired in this video is because I’d been at work all day and wanted to get this recorded, so it was just superficial tiredness. I’ll do another vid soon saying why I didn’t really enjoy Düsseldorf, hence pre-NEC anxiety. I ended up going and having a blast. As it happens I’m happier and more secure now than I have been for many many years. Thank you so much for your valued support.
