Heartwarming and inspirational story Stuart and please accept my deepest gratitude for sharing it - from one Scotsman to another - yer a good yin. Best wishes to Susan and all the very best on your travels. Love the job you have done on the van🌄
Jeez, I knew Susan had been through a lot, but bless her, that was some amount of surgery. Great to see her happy and healthy again. Your van is my dream, rough or not. Enjoy your adventures in her, and making memories.
Refreshingly real, honest and authentic video, cheers Stuart. RUclips decided to suggest your channel to me just this morning and your thumbnail did its job… I watched! I converted our van as a result of my wife’s health issues too. It’s her “emotional support vehicle” and we tootle around Scotland from our base in Wigtownshire. Good luck to you and Susan on your future journeys.
@@Peter-at-Heres-The-Thing Thank you very much for your kind comment Peter. “emotional support vehicle “. I like that. I hope the good lady is well. All the best.
@The_Do_Or_Die_Principle I watched all your videos. I watch a lot of the van life's yours is easily on a par. Maybe it's the accent it's easier on the ears. I'd try cooking your meals while you're away. That's a popular theme in the van Lifers Vids
Sounds like your wife has been through the wringer, prayers for her health. Thanks for sharing your story and I love your dog. I bet he just cuddles right up with you.
Thanks for sharing yours and Susans journey. Inspiring. life is about following your dreams and not allowing anything to stop you. Just lost my mother 3 weeks today, so more than ever is a time to kee going. hoping to buy a van to convert and will follownyounguys. thanks guys. June frae Fife/Dundee way
Good to meet you on here - Like whaat you have done with the van - colour is good as a stelf van - A few van lifers spend a fortune converting their vans, but at the end of the day you have a budget that you have and build to tht budget - the van you have looks great inside - everything you really need to get up and just got - Sorry to see the good lady has been in the wars, but lets hope she has a few more summers away in Portugal etc. I did have a van but taken off me as reported as abandond and i couldnt afford (at the time) to get it back - But i am trying to save as much as i can to get back on the road. Anyway - i wish you all the best times in the van.
@@manwithnovan thank you. Jeez that’s a bit shit fella. I hope you manage to get another van soon. It’s the best. Yeah it’s definitely possible to convert on a budget.
I just found your channel sending you much love to Susan. The same van as you and I’ve just painted it the same colour well I’ve painted the front and the back then the bad weather comes so I’ve had to wait Take care 💕😊
Cool van,love the colour,glad Susan is ok,my girlfriend has just had mouth cancer & had to have a large tumour removed & has been given the all clear,thank goodness,i know what you went through
Nice conversion. Should you ever feel the need to scrap it, please contact me first 🙏 I think that it is a no nonsense conversion, well done. Subscribed. Wishing you happy travelling ✌️💚🙏🇬🇧 ✌️💚🇬🇧
Hey stuart always look forward 2 ur videos ur a real tonic powerful 1 this week your lovely wife Susan's an amazing woman bye the sounds of it inspiration 2 us all puts things into perspective how precious life is glad she's better your vans sound good set up you have there the view all looks the same when u open the doors anyway once again keep up the good work . Top man
@@The_Do_Or_Die_Principle Thankyou so much. There is so much more to come. I have a 2TB hard drive slowly filling up that need to be edited once i learn more about editing that is lol.
Hey buddy just subbed, glad you did not scrap the van 😂 better then a lot Iv seen built now haha Plus avoiding then nasty dpfs that’s on modern crap Quick question what’s the model of the maxx fan mate ? Considering fitting one on my master cheers
Thanks for that mate. Much appreciated. Aye sometimes the older the van is the better. Less electronic gremlins. It’s a maxxair max fan deluxe 400x400. Think I got it from van junkies. It’s defo worth the hype. Thanks again.
I see you have one of those devil dogs, they give you so much love its unreal, but one fart my god, you're done for 😂😂 and there allways broken from new lol great video hope all goes well for your family
Thanks for taking the time to comment. Yeah this one is definitely damaged. 😂. I’ve had Staffies since the 90s and this one is definitely the most damaged. But I would t have him any other way.
The doctor guy say to chew on cardamon or drink it to clear lungs fast. Before I heard that I would drink 10 or more Emergen-Cs and that is unbelievable fast help. Last time O had Covid, 3 times, I ate honey cured Garlic, chewed imon slices of ginger and did the emergen c drinks, and instead of 6 weeks it lasted only one week .
@@The_Do_Or_Die_Principle It's not been much better down here in England. Ho Hum. So much for 'global warming' oh, oh, oh, wait a minute, that's why they renamed it 'climate change'... I remember in the 70s, as a child, I was learning to live like an Eskimo. Now I'm prepping for whatever the good Lord has to throw at us... Happy camping.
Just watched a few of your videos, brilliant uncle Stu 🌟🙌🏻 x

I have a girl blue bully, Sage. Im looking into countries to sail to from here in the states where Sage can go.
I think you would need a lot of paperwork to bring your dog to the UK.
Clearly you were meant to have the van
