► Who are we?
We’re Rob and James, partners in crime and life for over 10 years. We love travelling, exploring and being outdoors with our dog, Oscar.
For the past few years, we have spent a month in the winter in warmer climes but the pandemic put paid to that (for now) so we decided to explore more of our beautiful home country, the UK.
At the start of 2021, we purchased our first motorhome and boy, was it a steep learning curve. There was much we wished we had known both before and after we bought and so we decided to start this RUclips channel (as well as our website www.ontheroadagain.uk) in the hope we can share what we have learned and also share our mistakes and what we learn as we go along. Unlike many, we are relative newbies who want to share our honest journey.
