    It’s so nice to see people happy with van life and not just talking about the problems. My campervan has changed my life after my wife died and I moved on from a touring caravan which we both loved. Now it’s just one man and his dog and it’s opened up a whole lot of opportunities of being with family and friends around the country. It’s loads better than looking at money in the bank and doing nothing with it. It’s also good seeing you so happy together as a couple.

    The two of you work so well together, highlight of the week is your vlogs. Andrew with reference to your need of toilet when filling water tank, it’s an old man thing, not being able to use shower in van, middle age man thing!! We live full time in our van & the best bit is the fixed twin beds that can be made up to double, wouldn’t be able to cope with making it every night. Anyway keep doing what you’re doing 👍👍

    Dear Andy and Claire , i think you probably failed to mention Pablo and Dora in the love of what your doing and the love and laughter of us watching what you do ! We being caravan owners only over the last 2 years and now in our 60's , being able to take our Lab Wally and allowing us to travel all around the likes of Scotland , Wales and many other parts of the UK was the one of main decisions for getting our caravan. Love your videos, sense of humour and of course Dora and Pablo. Will be listening out for that Barnsley accent when you come to South East.

    New to the channel, thanks for an interesting sum up of your year. We are long time caravanners but bought a little (4.6m) old VW campervan to do the NC500 with our son and his family in theirs. We're retired but we don't get away as often as you, too busy! We use the caravan for trips when we are spending a few days in one location - often off grid and the campervan for touring. To keep the site costs down we use mostly Certified Locations/sites which are much cheaper where possible. most have faciities these days. We've met some lovely owners and campers on them. In the Campervan we've done mostly off grid 'wild' camping.

    As you get older you think back on the things you’ve done & it’s nice to have these memories. I was/am a car nut, was a founding member in a local 4x4 club then later in life was a founding member in a British car club. Along with building 2 homes from scratch feel privileged to have these memories along with my wife of 53 years!

    We bought our first caravan in March 23, and a lot of what you're describing here is exactly the way it's been for us. I do all the outside services while my better half sorts the inside.
    First trip out, we had booked a fully serviced pitch for 3 nights at a C&MC site nearby. Great, except when setting up we realised a) our fresh water hose wasn't nearly long enough; and b) even if it had been we didn't have the right doohickey for connecting to to provide a constant feed to our aquaroll. Ended up taking the aquaroll over to where the end of the hose was, since it was about a third of the distance it would have been to the tap 🙄
    Not only that; we had no way of directing the grey water to drain, so we were using the wastemaster just like we would have on a standard pitch.
    Now, two seasons in, we have a routine going and can be fully set up inside of half an hour if we put our minds to it. And we have a second length of blue hose plus 4m of waste hose - sorted!

    You two are the USP that keeps me for one, coming back for more, even though Dame Judy may think it’s all her!You’ve explained the limitations of your travels as in, 2hours, 2 days and 2 nights. Then there’s, too wet,too cold, or too windy over the coming months,to add into the mix, a dilemma shared by many of your followers no doubt.
    I’m sure you can find inspiration to turn all these challenges into entertaining and informative vlogs.
    But, don’t make a rod for your own back, don’t be afraid to have the odd weekend off. A live Q&A once in a while, would go part way to filling my usual fix, as well as create the opportunity to share ideas, experiences and locations.

The chemistry is palpable and so entertaining and Clair is so warm and lovable and you Andrew are her clown prince, charming and funny. Honestly, just keep doing what you do. One area that you may want to consider is the network of canals around Britain because there`s nothing better than the peaceful canal side where `Locks and Long-boats` glide past, where nature is beauty and many a drinking hole with restaurant can be found, I don`t know if it would be possible but parking up in an area close by would be a bonus.. Many thanks X.

    New viewer,You are so good together,no wonder your viewing figures are high.When you mentioned about feeling the need to go to the toilet when you filled the tank up with water made me smile and always remembered when footballers who struggled to do a urine test [ for drugs] always ran the basin water taps to help get it out !

    Love this style vlog as well as the others. I’ve had a van previously and have waited over 15 years to get another as it wasn’t practical with younger kids. Bought a fab one that suits us now but once the youngest doesn’t come with us anymore we will go fixed bed van with a garage. Not a fan of moho’s personally as I feel closed in. Love opening the door and having the outside in. We have had Norbert Nugget (Ford Nugget Plus) for 12 months and it has been the best year exploring. I use it daily too as my runaround. It really is horses for courses. I’ve had ten, trailer tent, caravan, van, tent, trailer tent and now van. Camping has changed so much over the years and it really helped in choosing what we needed and not getting overwhelmed with the choice out there. I started with non negotiables and then would likes. 5 seatbelts, sleeps 4, low enough to get under barriers, fits in a parking space. Then toilet, kitchen, storage, set up time etc. hey never used to be a thing. Cooler boxes and using a stream if there was one for cooling milk and beer. Buy fresh everyday etc. Keep up the good work.

    I just got my first motorhome three months ago and I absolutely love it! Best thing I ever did for me and my dog. We're on Coco's Wild Camp, in Wales right now, amazing views, all the fresh air in the world, had a lovely walk up to Water-Break-it's-Neck waterfall (what a name, eh?!) and yes, we do have levellers and are using them to the max right now and I have a fixed bed, too, and wouldn't be without it. Oh, and Claire, chocks is the word you were looking for. Love you guys!

    I think you have done the right thing by having the motorhome now and not waiting until you retire, you don't know how fit you're going to be, also try the rallies next year with the camping and caravan club , there's a part called out and about you find them there. x

    Always knew id enjoy having a motorhome. We had a VW camper with 5 berths when the kids were at home and we went all over - mainly to do memorable walks (including dragging our kids up the 3 peaks and others such as striding edge/Helvellyn). When they left we got a Fiat based van and now go all over the UK and europe, in all seasons (I love winter camping with the heater on and the weather swirling around the van!) . I keep it at home and love having it in a state of readiness to just spontaneously run away somewhere for a weekend break in a remote location. Best decision ever, regardless of cost.

    • @Stchristopherofatlantis

  • @barrywinter8770
    @barrywinter8770 20 дней назад +1

    We watch an unhealthy amount of Motorhome videos and always look out for yours.
    We got our first moho in May (fixed bed panel van conversion), it and the amount of stuff we have added to it have been an eye watering cost BUT if/when you sell the van you get a big chunk back. So it's not all gone.
    Like you we only use sites and mostly on grid, but as confidence grows we will look to use pub stops and aires.
    We love the time way in the van.

    We began watching your videos for the simple fact that you were visiting a place we are familiar with, however we enjoyed your approach so much that we were captivated. We love the way you seek out the interesting buildings and the history. We are caravaners who had a Motorhome for eight years your videos are relevant to both. BTW the posh voice over giving facts and corrections are clever and funny, we are certain it’s Claire! (Clare!)

    Regarding the Decals I would wait until the summer to remove them. That way you can use the heat from the sun to soften the adhesive.
    I wouldn’t remove the windows, instead I would cut the existing Decals 10mm around the windows then overlap the new ones over that.
    The adhesive residue can be removed with tar and adhesive remover, I use an Autoglym.
    Hope this helps 👍

    Obviously you can’t really do this for a weekend but on longer holidays I strongly recommend travelling to France. It’s much easier than you think (even with dogs) and the costs are so much lower. Campsites are so much cheaper and if you stay in aires (often having services with sometimes even free electric) then it can be free.

    We love watching your videos and style of presentation. Came across you completely by accident when you were in north Wales, area we love and keep going back to. Since then we’ve been avid viewers, both your short trips and your tours and can relate to them totally as we enjoy doing all the things that the two of you do and we’ve done similar trips. We motorhomed for about 8 years, now caravan due to change of circumstances. Difficult to say which we enjoy best. Keep up the good work, you’re brilliant.

    What a fabulous vlog, love your honesty. Your facts are always informative as well. Motorhomes and campervans are not for us because of health issues and we still prefer to use hotels or Airbnbs as a base, but we still love watching your exploits and all the places you have visited and look forward to your vlogs every week. Going to binge watch your Scotland adventures and maybe get some inspiration for new places to see.

    Hi Guys, have watched you guys for a couple of years now, love the content and humour. we do lots of hols to Scotland, we dont stay on sites. too expensive. We have gas and a solar panel, do not need hook up. We use aires for waste and filling up water, we stay on Forestry sites, for a small fee, Crofts and scenic areas where you donate, and wild stops for free. I would like to see you do a week without using a camp site, could be great footage, and you might need to do number 2's in your loo!!! No but seriously, would be great to see you take a weeks challenge with no campsites.

    We are in our very early 70`s and have a 7.5m motorhome, single beds (or big double but would involve that ladder problem) and we love it. Also have a small bike that fits in the garage 🏍😁 , and yes I watch your bike channel too (test passed 2 years ago).
    I have to agree with all your findings, being in `your` home, rain on the roof, warm and cosy etc. We like the freedom of going to a place, seeing it then going somewhere else to see that. We rarely spend more than 2 nights anywhere.
    As far as suggesting where you might go, I would highly recommend Ireland and obviously Europe, France is motorhome heaven.
    To put cost into perspective I have friends that like cruising, they maybe do 2 or 3 cruises a year and see a lot of places .... briefly, then they have to get back on the boat, they can`t stay for another day 🤷‍♂
    Keep doing what you are doing and when you`ve seen it all .... go a bit further from home.

    Well done on all your videos this year and even though we have been Caravaning for over 30 years you have still managed to give us ideas, we only use CLs now as the cost of club sites is ridiculous and most look like car parks, although we have found and used some cracking private sites most half the price of club ones.
    We have been all around the coast of Britain over the years but can still find new places to visit. Keep up the good work.
