      Grace May I feel the same way. After being everything for everyone, providing, and putting yourself last if at all, you need the rest of your life for yourself. At 57 yrs. I'm really considering just getting out there and go for it lol. Hope you all the happiness to come. Peace.

    It looks so comfy 😊 How nice would it be to wake up from that super comfy bed and make breakfast right away!

    @mitchtivi 6 лет назад +104

    It's funny that people consider a full bed as a wast of space. What is the primary and principal function of a camper? To sleep in it!

    It is a very good book for beginners as well as for those that are already into ruclips.net/user/postUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt A very good basic ebook to keep as a reference too. I like it and the way the subject matter is presented. It has humor and that helps with the reading.

    Beautiful build, beautiful van, beautiful owners of "HoneyBee". Thank you for educating me on the Honey Bee, I did not know. John & Cat, you two will always be blessed. I'm in the USA, and I wish I had your talent, to do my skoolie, WOW. Thank you.

    It's an amazing van. It's the that I've seen that doesn't look like a van on the inside. It's looks so homely. Awesome, well done Cat and John.

  • @lon8486
    @lon8486 6 лет назад +34

    I love it! Well done Cat and John. Beautiful van and beautiful people. Never thought of renting a van to travel around the U.K. I travelled around Britain many years ago and wish I would have done so using this option. Great idea!

  • @BethGrantDeRoos
    @BethGrantDeRoos 6 лет назад

    Gotta love the creative thought that went into creating such a well designed travel van. From incorporating the concern for honey bees into the colour, cabinet handles, wildflower bombs, to the compact and highly functional cooking area, and decent sized bed that is actually comfortable. Brilliant!

    • @auditigupta4697
      @auditigupta4697 6 лет назад +3

      Tiny House Giant Journey this campervan s really cute. Is it quite common out there in the UK for tourists to rent vans? I'm really interested in this, plus it is a way to help grow plants and save bees so it's a hit with me!

    • @rainydaylady6596
      @rainydaylady6596 6 лет назад +4

      Definitely! The van looks cozy and as long as there's an option for the bathroom I'd rent it.

    • @ZeoCyberG
      @ZeoCyberG 6 лет назад +2

      Class B (Vans) and similar size caravans (campers/travel trailers) are the most common in most European countries because of the generally smaller roads and more strict max weight restrictions.
      Most Europeans are also less into glamping and more into camping, so you generally won't see as much high end appliances like microwaves or AC units. So generally no need for a generator, solar and battery are more practical with their usual setups.
      Storage is also more prioritized with usually a rear section set aside for storage...
      There's also differences in the rules and laws governing recreational vehicles in Europe. So there are things that they have that aren't legal to have in the states and vice versa but you may only notice when directly comparing them side by side...

    Spent not a penny/pence on accommodations! That reason alone should tempt more than a few people to try van camping. Apart from people with tiny bladders, looks like a cozy getaway. I do love how the bed is a REAL bed...looks so cozy and inviting.

    • @NabilKausalHayes
      @NabilKausalHayes 6 лет назад +2

      I can tell you that driving that van in the UK did come with its challenges... Many narrow (and single track) roads, many dirt/gravel roads, winter conditions, crazy wind.... But slow and steady wins the race. And totally worth it! Cheers!

    • @JJF10101957
      @JJF10101957 6 лет назад

      I figured that one could fit a two lane English road into any one lane American. People driving at insane speeds for how narrow they are. Way different places!

    • @riverhuntingdon6659
      @riverhuntingdon6659 6 лет назад

      The place is also FULL of HUGE, obscene ridiculously over-sized 4x4 and SUVs. These egomobiles make driving here even worse. Often they are used ONLY for the school run and shopping. Ridiculous. Don't bother with trains. Full of privateering pirates and brainwashed arsewipe staff who don't care about anything but their paycheques. That's why they're so expensive. Believe me I worked there and the last years were ghastly. Glad I'm retired.

    • @JJF10101957
      @JJF10101957 6 лет назад

      My first thought always is 'Big 4x4? Compensating for something?' England is lovely and fantastic, just slow down and be careful! Congrats on your retirement.

Anyway, just an idea, I love watching your videos so much, they are so inspirational to me :)
