    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!

    So pleased Boo is ok such a relief for you. We all know how much you all love him. That no mark that made that comment about you not taking Boo to the vet wants to pipe down like you say people know their dogs best. Glad you blocked them they are not worthy of watching you. 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

    I am confused, what insurance

  • @SumairaSiddiqui-p8d
    @SumairaSiddiqui-p8d 12 дней назад +1

    Where do get the mail? And also showers and restrooms?

    • @FieldviewAdventures
      @FieldviewAdventures  11 дней назад +1

      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!

    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. 👯👯👯

  • @Vandaloo-Adventures
    @Vandaloo-Adventures 18 дней назад

    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.

    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 ?

    • @FieldviewAdventures

      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.
