Love your vlogs. Your children are lovely and so well behaved, bless them.
Sherry, thank you so much!! We do really like our boys (which helps ha ha), but we obviously only share the "highlights" ;-). Like all of us, they have their moments.
Those boys are a class act how Harry set that stuff up no bother and no moaning knew exactly where and how everything worked and that George just kills me with his portable headquarters. 👍
Hey there!!! Aren't they ace! AND, Eddie filmed the whole of that set up sequence!
Please never come home, I think we all love watching your holiday vlogs too much 😁
Got to say I always eagerly await the next installment
Stay safe
Oh Marc, that has made us smile. Alas, we are back in the UK, but we still have a few more "sunshine" videos to share before we switch to UK travel videos.
Haha you guys are just like me in Decathlon. Every time I go I come out with something I didn’t really need - like a canoe or something. It’s like when you go into Aldi for pizza and come out with a sewing machine 😆
Or IKEA for T lights!
Great blog as always 👌 nice pitch kids enjoying the sun, great outdoor setup 👌⛺️👏
Thank you Michael!!! It really was lovely!
Great video and such a lovely family. Nice too see kids involved and your all had fun, gutted it ended early for you guys
Oh Jack that is such a lovely comment thank you. We are focussing on being grateful for the 4 weeks we had, not the 2 weeks we cut short! (Googling fake tan now ha ha) Lynds x
@@RoamingRadfords well it's rare seeing a family so happy and kids willing too go on adventures and also happy with the traveling. Suppose good old England and it's weather is your calling for the last two weeks 💪reckon you guys should look into a dog 🐶 for your adventures
Used to live in Fréjus, lots of very good Aires down there, also towards the Longadoc region.
Ohhh such a lovely area!
Another fantastic vlog thank you for sharing 👍😎
Thank you for your lovely comment!!! 👍😎
Great to watch what we haw not done this year.. We thought that awnings tables ,chairs and cooking outside were camping and not allowed on aires. We have had the sneaky chair out if nobody around through ourselves but not risked cooking outside.
Very i Interesting to see how you getting on at this time
We tend to follow what everyone else is doing!!! As you said etiquette is usually don't set up a pitch, but in the south of France we double checked with the owners and they were more than happy for us to set up.
We got some led illuminating shuttlecocks for dusk/evening badminton fun but don't bother with the net.
Handy to leave out under awning as a visual for the kids if they venture off.
Great find & a cheeky free dip aire 😉.
Those little bonuses make you remember the site 👍.
Drive steady and stay safe 👋👋
That is such a great idea!! AND thank you, you stay safe too!
Another great video look forward to your next vlog x
Thank you so much Dawn! That is such a lovely comment 😊

Only just discovered your channel love the content, can’t wait to be travelling Europe again
Aww thank you! Welcome along!
agree with mark... you are not allowed to come home.. i will get post holiday blues ..without having left my house!!!!
Sally, your comments always make us smile! Unfortunately we are back in the UK, but are still able to explore! There are still a few good sunshine vids left to share!
@@RoamingRadfords Ahhh welcome home!!! I have loved following you this summer! Look forward to the last few. maybe get to see you in person if you venture down to cornwall ever!
Awaiting eagerly for the next upload. Wont be long before you have 100k subscribers. Your vids are addictive.
Oh my goodness what an amazing comment! Thank you so much! Look out tomorrow evening!
Well, I never got asked, did I want a swim!! Gr8 video people.👍
We just parked up quickly, and the pool was closer to the aire than the campsite pitches! D'oh! ha ha!
Thanks steve. Will try it out 👍
Great videos keep umm coming.
Thanks, will do, I promise there is more to come.
Brilliant thanks
So pleased you enjoyed it. Lynds x
Love the vids,one thing puzzles me,why do you have to slap roaming radfords stickers on everything? Even facemasks! Bit over the top!
Thanks you. Branding is what our company does, graphics on the Motorhome, logos on our T-shirt’s, hoodies, face masks and of course stickers, that’s what we do for business.
Why don't you state where you are, France is a very big country. Regards Andrew
Hi there! It’s all in the description including links and what3word links too
Thanks for all your reviews and insight into motorhome holidays which has help us as a family to decide not to buy one. Watched a few of your videos and some others, the freedom to roam part of it looks great but thereafter spending time in filthy basic campsites and the general overall look of this type of holiday or weekend break was totally unappealing. Also appears to be a very seasonal type of holiday not ideal for the dark days of winter, but well worth watching.
Good one 😎
Thank you 😎
Just found your channel. Loving the life style. If I had £40k to spare I'd buy a motor home and do likewise with my daughter.
Ahhh Martin! Welcome Along!
Hey family, you from Wales?
90 euros wow thats nearly 60 quid
Yep!!
So I apologise for this question up front but could I ask what you do when using the campsite toilets for a number two when they have no seat attached? Know its not the most pleasant thing to talk about?
Ha ha! Don't apologise, I live with 4 boys!!! We've developed really strong thigh muscles!
@@RoamingRadfords thought you may have gone with the rubber ring route :-)
That’s why they bought the noodle from Decathlon!
@@jrhunt78 haha had to Google that. Like the logic. This years French roadtrip is now cancelled so have another year to figure out a seat solution ;-)
Hi, thank you for posting so many videos, in these long lockdown days we have found ourselves binge watching and thoroughly enjoying them.
Can I ask where you bought your fold up table and benches please, we've been looking online and can't find any in the UK?
Lynne 🙂
Lynne, thank you so much for your lovely comment!
Our large folding dining table is similar to this Lifetime 6ft Adjustable Table amzn.to/3idnI8w
The benches we have are similar to these Lifetime 6ft Folding Bench amzn.to/3iioYYa
@@RoamingRadfords Many thanks, that's really helpful. Looking forward until we can all get back on the road again.
Aren’t we all! We have itchy feet!
Enjoyed this. Just subscribed.
Welcome along Pat!
I think Harry has found his forte in front of the camera, he could make a living out of selling the tables! I wish I could set up as quickly as you,it normally takes us hours to make things dog proof. I think somebody is getting ready to change the motorhome. Looks like you caught some good weather,hope Stratford was as nice. Guy.
Thanks again Guy for your lovely comments. Harry is legend! Thankfully my children are past the "proofing" stage - mostly! AND yes, Stratford was lovely!
Can you name the sites you stop at would be very helpfull thanks john also luv your blogs
Morning John! We put the names, websites and what3word links in the video descriptions. This should make them easier to track down - especially with our pronunciation 🤣
Love watching your videos. Just about to hire a motor home and want to travel to France, which website do you recommend for sites??
Checkout this video where we show you the best website for finding sites and how we find great sites with pools
Italian Campsite with an AMAZING Pool 🇮🇹

How do you find the aires?
We tend to find them through www.search for sites.co.uk or the Park4Night app.
@@RoamingRadfords thanks. Just watching your southern France vlogs looking for inspiration in September
Good video nice cheap aire
Great value!
Do you live full time in van???
Hey Daniel, no we usually just travel when the boys aren’t in school - holidays and as many weekends as possible x
I enjoy all the different places you go.
do you have to pay extra
if you eat in there restaurants etc.
stay safe.
Thanks Moira, some aires you can stay in free if you eat/drink in the onsite restaurants (research France Passion or Brit Stops), but these were regular price with no discounts.
What is an aire??
It’s an official parking area for motorhomes and camper vans. Sometimes they have services and facilities, sometimes they are just safe park ups. They tend to be much cheaper than a campsite.
@@RoamingRadfords Thankyou 😀
Hi what's the weight including the payload of your van is it over 3.5 tonne
Hi CJ, yep over 3.5 tonne. I'm pretty sure it’s 4250kgs with a 750kg payload! Lynds x
Just found this channel, what mpg do u average. Going to look at all the videos fab
Welcome Along! It 100% depends on Steve's mood!!! If he takes it easy; 23MPG. But on average, between 18 and 23 MPG. I hope that helps, and Thank You for your lovely comment!!!
Great vlog guys just stumbled across you. Very informative I’m a swift fan Kontikki 635.
Great site set up. I’m learning as never ever stayed on an aire
Do you use a particular web site or app
Cheers Wayne
Morning Wayne. Welcome along 😊We tend to use Google, Park4Night, Searchforsites and wildcamping.co.uk to find our stops
Hi guys, you are an awsom family. Love the videos. Can I ask what setup you have for WiFi? We have just got ourselves a vw camper and are looking to do something similar to yourselfs.
Regards
Mark
Thank you so much for your lovely comments! We have a mobile router with a sim card in, and also share the data on our mobile phones as data usage is capped in Europe x
Can you give us the coordinates for this location please, thankyou .
Use the 3 word App if he can easy to locate then
Hi Carin, We put the What3Word link, and the campsite/aire website links in the description :-)
i thought their eldest was a girl?
