    I've been living on wheels as a nomad in the US for 19 years now, it's easy over here. I'm toying with the idea of returning to the UK (born in England) and doing it there, but at 62 with a teensy pension, I'm not sure I could afford even that lifestyle. Enjoy the videos, keep them coming, it's helping me to figure things out.

My grandpa lived to be 100 so I got to know him well and hear his stories and life. He was a Fyffe (MacDuff clan). Married and came to America in his 30s, had 4 children. I have owned two VW Westfalia camper vans in my life and loved them. Wish they made them again. Traveled most of eastern America in them.

I loved the freedom of having no ties and the simplicity. We sailed round Scotland for the past 4 years with our dog. Got married in Plockton with just our kids and the dog. Unfortunately due to Ians health we had to sell up and i now drive our Motorhome! Big changes but just had to adapt. Planning a 3 month trip visiting all the places we love but just by road! Leaving Ireland in June. Stornoway for Heb Celt ( 4th time) then up to Orkneys for 1 month. Considering Shetlands too! We love Scotland so much. We have another dog with us this time. Bit of a tight squeeze but off we go! PS we have a wine and whisky stash too!

  • @jimbo80982
    @jimbo80982 5 месяцев назад +1

    I love this movement but I have to question, why are vans specifically so popular? The MOD surplus stores do whole pre-made trucks for this that are far better suited and maybe even cheaper, the only difference is the license used for them. For example, the old MAN HX. These often already have pretty decent living arrangements and I'd wager most have generators for electronics meaning you don't necessarily need to go to the trouble of adapting them. Their build quality means they're unlikely to break with the potholes at the expense of diesel. But with the larger surface area, maybe solar is more of a possibility too. Think people are missing a trick on it.

    • @scottishmaninavan
      @scottishmaninavan 5 месяцев назад

      Not something I personally considered. Vans are readily available and many convert them themselves. The roads in Scotland are often single lane up in the Highlands so I personally wouldn't want anything bigger than mine

    Love the van and your attitude for life, as life is definitely too short, and if i was driving past and you stepped out looking like BRAVEHART i am afraid my ABS breaking would be tested to the max 😂😅 i am originally from Belfast, but live in a wee seaside village near Portpatrick in Dumfries and Galloway, it is packed with motorhomes round here in the summer 🚛 Drive safe and enjoy your new lifestyle!!

    Banks here in Denmark suck... i go there, ask if i can have a mortgage for about £800-£900 a month... OH NO that is not possible as it is way too much money... walks home to the apartment i rent for £1.500 a month wondering what the fuck is the actual reason for a no? I have a solid job, decent salary and hardly any debt... I kinda wish i could get a van but again in Denmark.... oh no! one need a solid address to live and work here! screw that!

    Nicely done mate. Are there any camping clubs in Scotland or in the UK where you can travel with a group in case you get bored by yourself?

    • @scottishmaninavan
      @scottishmaninavan 5 месяцев назад

      There are communities and meet ups but it's not something I've done yet really. I always meet people along the way to be honest, especially when hiking and stuff. Never felt bored on the road if I'm honest

    I’m in the process of purchasing another home after selling my first ever property I brought ( made a reasonable profit ) I’ll be buying a converted milk churning shed converted into a little cottage but a part of me wants to say sod it get all my money from solicitors which is a lot buy a van pre made and just grab my dogs and hit the road but I’d be so worried about them I’m the summer when it’s hot .

      Good insulation, Air conditioning and a magnetic midge net for the side door. They can go in and out as they please when you're parked up. I've met loads of people who have dogs in their vans

    With out an address, how do you go about registering the van for insurance,road tax , mail, and so forth

    • @scottishmaninavan
      @scottishmaninavan 7 месяцев назад

      My parents offered to use their address when making the decision. I did consider a PO box as well but you can't register everything there. If I wasn't fortunate enough to have my parents or my brother I'd have asked a friend and sure it wouldn't have been a problem. Where there's a will there's a way 😉

    'Go down on a mortgage'? I've not heard that one before. Soon there'll be so many people living in vans and posting on YT you won't be able to move for them
