First time I.ve watched you guys. Very informative video. Its only a dream for me atm. I am currently full time carer for my mam, but I hope to do it in some way in the future. Im encouraged by your 74 year old followers too, as I am not far off there myself. Im subscribing now.
Hi Bryan, thank you for subscribing! It’s always good to have a dream and something to aim for, caring for a family member is hard so be sure to look after yourself as well xx
Another great blog full of useful info. I always smile when age is mentioned. We have now been full-time for nearly 18 months and I was already 74 when we sold the house and bought our van. Best thing we ever did in 30 years of marriage. A simple code from our doctors means we can collect our prescriptions anywhere in the UK. We did meet you briefly at the last Stratford show and have followed you since day one. Many thanks for the many tips you have provided. 👍🎅
Brilliant video, I have just started watching your journey and I'm really enjoying it. You are amazing couple and your wonderful son Zak and not forgetting adorable boo. I'm just wondering does Zak miss friends and school, sorry I'm new to your videos and maybe I've missed out on this ..Thanks for sharing your life story. ❤
To say zak struggled is an understatement, he has kept his 3 best friends and the lad that is local they get together everytime we are back in Retford and go out together doing various things. He hated school we had lots of problems and heWas best off out of it, he was home schooled long before we went full time!
Loved the really informative content. We are weekend warriors in our camper van and have gained a lot of ideas by watching you guys. I really hope you get more subscribers to help your channel grow. Have a wonderful Christmas and a very healthy new year 😊.

I for one love your travels Hope you have a lovely Christmas and a good rest from all the driving Steve. Big fan Elaine from Liverpool. 😊
For years I've wanted a motorhome 😢 it's the freedom & getting away from everything, I'm like everyone's agony aunt but it stresses me out, I just want a peaceful life, I know the pros and cons, in my house to stay comfortable warm I pay £40/50 on gas a week & £40 electric a week, I pay bedroom tax & also pay towards my rent, it's a struggle, but I manage but to get away from the same old 4 walls, choose my own surroundings & to not have neighbours the argue everyday, in a motorhome I could just move . 😂😂 I love these informative vlogs, awesome vlog guys as always ❣️🌹🤗🍻xx
Hi both and Zak and no forgetting the boo hope his leg gets better when you go to France for the not so brave of us would be very interesting to see how you get to France like booking the ferry how to avoid the told or not like the vlogs
Mail we use a family member’s address. You need full time living insurance rather than standard vehicle insurance and we have a full shower/toilet/bathroom onboard so we don’t need any others! Do it, get yourself out on the road it’s a fantastic way of life!
Nice tee shirt Kathleen good news about boo ,people who dont own dogs,dont realise,how much they mean to us we have a 10year old lab retriever who has health problems and even though has been insured since 8 weeks old has and still is doing costing a lot of money because of medication he is now losing his sight but we would not be without him,2 years ago we bought a 8 week old cocker spaniel ,who is a real nut case,and eventually they have become good friends ,but puppy is the boss ,and gets Charlie into all sorts of trouble ,best wishes, ❤ Christine and Graham xxx
Just watching and it is good idea for a vlog, definitely agree planning and "travel projects" so to speak. You are a business too and need to plan sometimes... It really does reduce stress, but also you need that spontaneous travel freedom and you are balancing that. 👯👯👯
Personally i think buying a small plot of grazing land in a nice quiet spot is the best option, at least when back in the UK or winter season you have a base to park on relatively cheaply, it only needs to be a small plot, even 1/4 acre would more than do. And would cost a small amount compared to paying site costs. Anyway, have a great Christmas guys and a prosperous new year, All the best for 2025.
Mery Christmas to you all. Great videos by the way. With your continental holiday coming up are you planning to use the app Polarsteps so that your followers can see the routes and stay points you use. Have a great holiday.
Hopefully we will be full time vanlifers end of jan, bought a 6.4 mtr A class to go up in the highlands. Wife wants to buy a piece of land £10,000 max and use it as a base and when we can't drive anymore we will park up and live fulltime on our ground. Another question have you both lost friends when you left your house but gained friends who do similar vanlife ?
We haven’t lost any friends we keep in touch and get together when we are around home but we have definitely made some amazing friends in the motorhome community 😀❤️
Yes as far as I’m aware of your earning at any age you need to register, I may stand corrected by someone though. You can earn £12,500 per annum without paying any tax per person.
I’ve been in spain in a house for 8 yrs and food is now definitely more expensive than the uk drinks are definitely cheaper but food is definitely not anymore 😢 x eating out is cheap but food shopping in supermarkets are definitely not cheap as people think 😢
We are hoping to get our first motorhome soon ,and are so looking forward to living our best life finally just like you all are 😊....and hoping to meet you all on the road ,one day🤞🩷💙💙🩵

Hi both and Zak and no forgetting the boo hope his leg gets better when you go to France for the not so brave of us would be very interesting to see how you get to France like booking the ferry how to avoid the told or not like the vlogs
I am confused, what insurance
Where do get the mail? And also showers and restrooms?
Mail we use a family member’s address. You need full time living insurance rather than standard vehicle insurance and we have a full shower/toilet/bathroom onboard so we don’t need any others! Do it, get yourself out on the road it’s a fantastic way of life!
Lots love living the dream , one day me self wife will 2 happy crismo gang from ireland 🇮🇪
Nice tee shirt Kathleen good news about boo ,people who dont own dogs,dont realise,how much they mean to us we have a 10year old lab retriever who has health problems and even though has been insured since 8 weeks old has and still is doing costing a lot of money because of medication he is now losing his sight but we would not be without him,2 years ago we bought a 8 week old cocker spaniel ,who is a real nut case,and eventually they have become good friends ,but puppy is the boss ,and gets Charlie into all sorts of trouble ,best wishes, ❤ Christine and Graham xxx
Great vlog guys really enjoyed it thanks ❤ Chris/ Jan

Nice vlog quick question how do you mange the van dimensions when using GoogleMaps, I always worry about the low bridge or dirt track road
We look for road signs!
Personally i think buying a small plot of grazing land in a nice quiet spot is the best option, at least when back in the UK or winter season you have a base to park on relatively cheaply, it only needs to be a small plot, even 1/4 acre would more than do. And would cost a small amount compared to paying site costs. Anyway, have a great Christmas guys and a prosperous new year, All the best for 2025.
Brilliant volg really useful information 😊 x
Mery Christmas to you all.
Great videos by the way.
With your continental holiday coming up are you planning to use the app Polarsteps so that your followers can see the routes and stay points you use.
Have a great holiday.
Currently in Spain fuel is €1.13 a ltr lol
What do you do about your son`s education .
That brilliant video
Hopefully we will be full time vanlifers end of jan, bought a 6.4 mtr A class to go up in the highlands. Wife wants to buy a piece of land £10,000 max and use it as a base and when we can't drive anymore we will park up and live fulltime on our ground. Another question have you both lost friends when you left your house but gained friends who do similar vanlife ?
We haven’t lost any friends we keep in touch and get together when we are around home but we have definitely made some amazing friends in the motorhome community 😀❤️
hi...posting on utube,dose self employed apply if your retired,keep the vids up💫
Yes as far as I’m aware of your earning at any age you need to register, I may stand corrected by someone though. You can earn £12,500 per annum without paying any tax per person.
Are the new rules for entering certain foreign countries going to affect your travels?
Not that we know of
What do you think you will do when you stop van life like the vlogs
I’ve been in spain in a house for 8 yrs and food is now definitely more expensive than the uk drinks are definitely cheaper but food is definitely not anymore 😢 x eating out is cheap but food shopping in supermarkets are definitely not cheap as people think 😢
Is there a reason why sometime there are sooooo many adverts this vlog and it’s not urfault there’s been 4 adverts already 😂
YEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAA
We are hoping to get our first motorhome soon ,and are so looking forward to living our best life finally just like you all are 😊....and hoping to meet you all on the road ,one day🤞🩷💙💙🩵
