    Hi Dan, I have stumbled on your site today the 26th of May 2024. I am a virgin newbie, I don't even have the motorhome yet but hoping to get mobile in the next couple of weeks. You are a caravan guy, I know, but all your tips and tricks and advice is equally valid to motorhome owners and so far, after only 5 videos, I have learnt a lot and can say you are definitely relevant, please believe me. I have subscribed and will continue to watch your videos because your experience is invaluable and your way of conveying that experience is very, very good. You are a likeable chap and I hope one day in the future I will find you on a site and we could have a couple of beers together. All the best to you and your family.

    Dan, I've been quietly watching your content for many years, we've been caravanning for 15 years +. I find yours and many other creators content very informative, interesting, and entertaining. We all adapt and change the way we do things. We've only used CL's for years and now we're looking at larger sites because our kids are older and want more to do. We all have different needs. Best wishes for 2024, I'll still be tuning in and watching your content as we can all learn something new.

    Don't worry about the 'not relevant'ers Dan. Some people have an inflated sense of how important their views are to you. The fact that they feel the need to tell you they won't be watching staggers me. I watch most of your videos and I've never spent a single night in a caravan! Have a great Christmas x

    Live just outside Brecon we own a Bailey Cabrera V and hope that you will enjoy your visit to the area in the new year. Carry on with the good work.

    Hi Dan. I’ve been watching your videos since getting back into caravan in after selling the last one over 26 years ago, and buying a new 2022 Bailey Unicorn Cadiz in September 2022. Things have changed since last time we had a caravan, but had and still have a VW T5 camper we have been using since 2015 for our camping trips which was fine for the two of us and one dog, but then we inherited two small dogs, after our auntie died so now have three dogs and there was no room in the camper and awning for the five of us to chill and enjoy properly.
    Keep up your good work, and I’m looking forward to your future videos. We love our Bailey caravan it’s style inside and the layout which works very well for us, but we are still having issues with thing since the purchase to get solved and that’s now 15 months on 🙁

I have also had the great pleasure of meeting you and Angela on two occasions which was an honour. Keep going Dan, some of us love you so forget the disenters, they dont really matter and don't appreciate the contribution you have made to the caravan community.
    Happy New year to you, Angela, Tom and Chlohe.

    Hi Dan, don’t worry about being not relevant…..I got my first caravan in 2020 and your videos have helped me a lot. Please come to New Zealand and you could have a ball here. You can borrow my Newish Challenger 560 and my Pick-up.
    So keep on going and congrats for your new Caravan. Greetings from warm New Zealand.

    hi Dan, was good to see you at the show in october. crazy to think 5 years ago i watched your how to site a caravan before buying, to meeting you at the 2018 show then joining you for the 2019 tourerfest. no video is irrelevant. even today nearly 6 years on, if i see a sited video, levelling video, absolutly any caravan video wether i have done it or not, i still watch and i still learn new things. in fact i look out for videos of what ive already done more than anything to find better ways of doing it especially the basics, because it is easy to lose sight of the basics. ps i love your trip videos. all the best for the new year and look forward to 2024 with you and the family . steve

    A massive, massive thank you Dan for everything you do for the caravan community.
    It is us as viewers to make relevant choices in life as to what is relevant and not to burden hard working RUclipsrs such as yourselves with our likes and dislikes.
    Keep up the excellent work but make sure that you both enjoy the new van without making sacrifices for the sake of the minority who will never be pleased.
    Have a fabulous Christmas and sending you all our love and best wishes from our van in a CL site near Holt in Norfolk for the Christmas holiday.
    Best wishes
    David & Rachel x ❤

    Hi Dan. You really inspired me to start my own Caravanning RUclips channel. It's not easy making these videos. Lots of time and effort goes into them. My channel is now at 978 Subscribers! Just shy of 1000! Hours and hours has gone into it. I've found most people are really supportive and positive. Thanks for all the videos and tips and instruction over the years you have provided.

    Hi Dan, great to see you back again. I also had so many problems with our brand new Alicanto Grande Porto. At nearly £40,000 Bailey should hand there heads. The dealer was brilliant, and after a year all the faults were fixed. I’m really looking forward to your take on the onboard water tanks. We Bailey owners all know the problem. My old Luner had a water gauge, Bailey you just have to guess or go and check the aqua roll, and hope it doesn’t freeze up in the winter.

    Relevant or not, we love your Vlogs, we have a small Eriba Puck (very different size to your caravan) and don’t know why people come across like that. I don’t think the type of van matters. We all use them for the same reason.
    All the best for the new year.🎉

    Echoing many, Dan, some people need to get over themselves. Outrageous! Always relevant to caravanning. Keep up the good work. I bought my first caravan in 2018 due entirely to the fact that your videos showed me the ropes.

    Dan, as someone who has had a caravan since passing my driving test on my 17th birthday some 51.5yrs ago who also likes adding updates to our caravan, it took me 49yrs to get my first brand new caravan but still had to put my own stamp on it just like yourself. Being a Yorkshireman with deep pockets and very short arms I’ve found many of your videos of great benefit ie the awning lights to name one and seeing your videos gave me the incentive to get myself in gear and get it done. I’ve also had major surgery after almost losing all use in my arms and legs while on holiday at the end of September resulting in my having cervical neck surgery fusing c3 & c4 vertebrae in early October which has given me back about 90% use of my arms and legs and for that I’m so grateful. You mentioned the Brecon Beacons an area I have great affection for having done much of my training for the Parachute Regt and the dreaded 10miler although I actually enjoyed the challenge, sadly I only have the memories of when I was fit enough to complete my Pegasus Company training but I’m very much alive and looking forward to our travels in 2024. So it’s a massive thank you from myself Jim and Cheryl and hope you also enjoy your new caravan as we are and plan to continue for as long as I can.😊

    Hi Dan, you are doing a great job, with lots of helpful advice and tips to new and old caravanners alike.
    We are in a similar situation to you. We have had a Phoenix +644 since new for 3 years and have loved every minute of it. But we have just upgraded to a Pegasus Messina, which will hopefully be here by the end of Feb. I am quite nervous about the twin axle 8ft wide towing aswell.
    I am looking forward to your upcoming adventures.

    Hello Dan, I write from Santiago de Chile.
    I just want to thank you for your enormous contributions, from which I have learned a lot and which served as a basis for buying my caravan. Rather, I imported it from Hamburg to Chile (a Hobby De Luxe Easy 400 SF), which we are enjoying with my wife touring Chile, Argentina and Brazil.
    But the knowledge base to select it, implement it and make various repairs and adjustments was your videos.
    So don't worry about the irrelevant ones, but about those of us who can thank you for your interesting and entertaining videos.
    In Chile, when we encounter unfriendly people, who criticize everything or are simply offensive, we remember the phrase of the great Miguel de Cervantes in Don Quixote of La Mancha: "let the dogs bark, Sancho, it is a sign that we are moving forward." .
    So go ahead Dan, you have more friends than irrelevant ones in the caravanner network.
    Greetings and success in your projects 2024.

    Hi Dan, can't wait to hopefully see how you have got on with the 8ft wide caravan towing to sites. We took our caravan to Truma to have Automatic Climate Control added and the fitter said he needed to remove the unit. He recommended having a frame fitted before the unit was replaced, as this would aid any maintenance on the unit in the future. I think it cost about an extra £85? He also said when the unit was installed at the factory they had trapped a wire and the lights on the aircon unit didn't work. Keep up the great videos and looking forward to seeing some of your adventures.

    Hey Dan, how are you? Thanks for sharing. Ever since I can remember I have been obsessed with caravans, off grid living etc...And, ever since I can remember, your channel has always been an incredibly useful resource for me. Not only that though, you've motivated my caravan journey so much and without your channel, and a couple of others, I would have felt lost. That's mainly due to the fact that I am the only person in my friendship group that is into caravans as everyone thinks they're only for old people - well me and you know that that's not true! You're being relevant isn't important to me. You're you and I love your channel! LOVE THE NEW VAN! WOW! Keep posting and take care matey! Robbie x

  • @royale4318
    @royale4318 6 месяцев назад

    Dan - not 'relevant? Let me tell you something - I, like you, was a child of the '80s who went caravanning with his parents. Due to lack of use, we parted company with our van in the early '90s, and I didn't really give it a lot of thought as I transitioned into adulthood, started working, met my now wife etc.
    Then one day, for reasons I wouldn't be able to explain, I stuck the word 'caravan' into a RUclips search. I soon discovered a random video of yours. I wouldn't be able to tell you exactly which one, but it was a Holiday Vlog from the Lunar era. That rekindled the old memories and led to another video, and another, and another.
    Long story short: having bombarded my wife with your videos, as well as Andrew Ditton's and some others .... we are now the proud owners of a 2007 Sterling Europa 520 that we absolutely love, and go away in every opportunity we have! Your videos have been, and continue to be, our first port of call every time we want to find out how best to handle something we haven't done before.
    "Not relevant?" I don't think so....
    A very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all of you, from Grant & Vicki.

    ‘Not relevant’? My wife and I love your videos. We love seeing where you visit, the tips/projects and the general caravan setup.
    You have been brilliant for us since we bought our first caravan in 2019.
    By the way, towing a twin axle caravan with your Touareg should be a breeze. We have just bought one and regularly tow 3.5 tons (not a caravan!) with ease. The problem is remembering we are towing!!
    Please keep doing what you do - we cannot wait for the next instalment.
    All the best for the new year.

    Just keep the vids coming mate. It's all good info, and as you know, you've helped us a lot over the past few years. New to caravanning as we are, any good info has been so valuable. Thank you mate. Plus, the personal stuff. You know what I mean. We appreciate you both.

    I have followed you for some years. I do believe that you exemplify the best of YT. Your story has been nothing other than inspiring for those who love your channel. Whether we caravan, or not, your family's story has been inspiring. Happy Christmas from me and mine to you and yours. You are a great example of the best of YT.

    Great vlog again Dan, it doesn't matter if ppl no longer find your channel relevant, the ones who do will stay with you. I'm glad to hear that you will be sharing some of your trips away because that's why I subscribed in the beginning,the days of here we tow, caravan shorts and make way with the Morley's, wishing you and your family a very happy Christmas and an exciting New Year 🥂🥂

We have taken the plunge and booked 1 month in Spain next summer, I’m a teacher so we are finally making the most of the summer holiday! (Aircon unit has been purchased!) keep up the great work Dan and happy new year 🎉

    Relevant or not I still love watching your videos. I sold my caravan a few years back and still to replace. Your help for when we bought our 1st caravan was priceless. Even no caravan will keep watching live your DIY tips to improve caravans. Keep up good work

    Great video Dan, I think you will always be relevant to me. You were the first caravan content creator that I stumbled across in 2021 when we purchased our first caravan. I learnt everything i know about caravaning from you. I’m excited to see your new adventures in your new van. I too already subscribe to Mac and Sarah and on their recommendation we are also visiting Concierge Camping in March for my birthday weekend. Can’t wait to try it out. Happy Christmas to you and the family and look forward to 2024 😊

    Great video with plenty to look forward to. Especially how to level a twin axle. I’m thinking of getting a Lock and Level system to level my Twin Axle Bailey Unicorn V Pamplona and to replace my wheel jack to replace wheels? I know you’ll present the most informative vlogs as always. Keep up the good work Dan.

    I agree, don’t get the relevance thing, it’s just a bonus if someone had exactly the same van as yours. After I met you at the NEC we purchased the Swift Challenger Exclusive but obviously that still doesn’t make your vlogs “not relevant “. Good news about the ‘lump’ as well. Merry Christmas and happy new year 🎉🎉🎉

    Merry Christmas Dan - love your new van and handy tips in your videos - we have had an 8ft twin axle van for the last year and we love it with the extra space and there are only the 2 of us with 2 small dogs and manage without an awning mostly 👍🌲🎅

    Good morning Dan and a very merry Christmas to you and your family.
    I just wanted to comment on a section of your video referring to "not relevant"
    We have been caravaners for 5 years now, so I like to think that I'm out of the rookie period but it was your videos that I watched, whilst setting up on our first ever stay, at Piccadilly farm in Lacock, without which I would probably would still be there today.
    I still use your channel as my go to reference point whenever I have an issue or just need good advice, which I'm sure many do, so that makes you very relevant.
    We started our caravan journey after the kids left home, so have never really viewed your Chanel as being designed for specific groups, it covers so many topics, relevant to so many people.
    I'm now waiting for your assessment of a twin axle caravan as it's something we would consider, so "not relevant" because we have a single axle or no kids, or any other reason come to that, humbug!!
    Phill.
