Introducing My Girlfriend to Van Life (It Didn’t Go To Plan)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 лют 2025
- This week I introduce my girlfriend Evie to van life and life on the road for a few days as we explore the beautiful area of the Brecon Beacons National Park in Wales in my self converted campervan. As with every adventure things don't always go to plan.

Make sure to watch until the end of the video, it’s worth it I promise 👊🏻! P.S My new camera lady is going to need some training by the looks of things but hopefully she'll stick around for the foreseeable future! Mary's got competition 😂
She's lovely relax
You got to include her more in your videos , so funny 😅
Evie is great and can drive and cook. She's a keeper mate.
And she told him about the brakes
I'm glad that you've found someone to enjoy your vanlife, fajitas and dogging spot adventures. :)
😂 makes it all the more fun
Hahaha
"How to make my girlfriend hate van life in 4 hours," lol.
Now they are REALLY going to enjoy the dogging spots
Yes! This is the old Will video style I love!
We all have those days. Where you try to show someone how great something is and it's problem after problem. And they are never eager to be shown a second time.
It was all part of the adventure 😊
@@WillsWhereaboutshey will. What about the camp stove you bought in the giveaway video?! Why didn't you use that instead of the electric
🤔🧐🤨
@@WillsWhereabouts your doubt great Will and Evie seems lovely.
2 cups of water to 1 cup of rice. Simmer until the waters soaked up by the rice. No need for straining and it won't be like rice pudding.
Easiest way 😊
I like a pinch of salt in the water too
@@davecoop9579 yes definitely add salt, you can also add lots of other things to it to add flavor such as cloves, cardamom, star anise, cinnamon etc.

Simple...
Needs washing first, starch will gloop it
The brake fluid issue can just be caused by brake pad wear. As the brakes wear the caliper pistons push out further so you end up with more fluid behind the caliper piston and less in the reservoir. The only real issue with over filling is that when you go to have new brake pads fitted they will have to push the pistons back in and there is a risk of the brake fluid spilling over the top of the reservoir. Not a huge issue! as long as you wash it off quickly!
Thanks again for some genuinely nice, comforting content! Life isn't always plain sailing as we all know but you document everything so well, and you make it all so fun to watch!!
These are the vlogs we want! Brilliant love it
More to come!
Yeah this is whst we want. Not all Instagram and polished. But really people. Really problems. Doing really things.
Great video and lovely to meet Evie! 😊👍
Hi Evie, and what a great trip Will, some fabulous scenery, looking forward to the next one. Thanks for the top quality vlog as always. Pleased the brakes weren’t an issue in the end. All the very best, David & Rachel 👍
Thanks so much guys, the scenery was beautiful 😊
Welcome evie nice to see you making will a happy man enjoy your adventures together
This video is brilliant!! It wouldn’t be a true wills whereabouts stealth camping video without a few things going wrong. Iove it.
Hah it’s just the way things go with me 😂
nice to meet you Evie! this was awesome, can't wait to see the shenanigans that go down further on the trip. the rocky start is already exciting to watch. love you guys
Bloody hell Will,so glad you got a lady who can cook now you don’t have to live off fajitas anymore 😂 Nice to meet you Evie!!!!Great vid as Always something always goes wrong 😂😂😂
Haha thanks Jenny, I must say Evie is a sensational cook so my diet has moved away from fajitas 7 days a week 😂
Nice to meet you Evie. It was also nice to see Emma and Neil. Look forward to seeing what you all get up to in Wales. Take care Gill
Warms my heart to see you and Evie together. Great to see Wales, I was born there but I live in NZ now.
Definitely nice to meet Evie!! Thanks for the video.
brilliant content as expected !! stunning scenery and lovely to meet Evie !! cant wait for the next instalment !!☺
A will's video a day, keeps the sadness away !!!!! 🔥🔥🔥 wowwaaaa wiwaaaaa !!!
major ditto!!!!!
Hah thanks 👊🏻
Chap, you two are naturals in front of the camera and it’s very informative, nothing forced, I’ve subscribed 👍 as a newbie to all this!
Lovely to meet you Evie! Great to see you back, Will and with company. Always nice to have someone to share the load, driving and experience. And she cooks - bonus! May you two have many happy trips together 🙃😎🥳
Brake fluid is hygroscopic and absorbs moisture from the air. Heavy braking can cause fluid to boil as moisture collects in the lowest point(calipers).
Carry out brake fluid changes at regular service intervals. Hello Evie btw x
Great video Will - when Neil arrived it was reminscent of the Grand Tour. Didn't think you'd go for an EV though !
It’s your first video with Evie and she is already your good luck charm!! Looking forward to the next video, looks like you are having fun!!
Hi from Canada!! 🇨🇦
I keep a camping stove in the boot. Can also use it outside on nice days
Epic episode man 😀looked a top trip... feel your pain on the wifi for uploads, so many times waiting overnight hoping a vid will be up by morning, no idea if you do or not but i found copying it over to the phone and uploading from there is quicker ( no tethering )and saves power not having to keep the laptop running
It was a class couple days away mate and thanks for the tip on uploading, I've not tried that so will have to give it a go!
Welcome to Wales Will. Lived here all my life. Love the Welsh valleys. And a shout out to that beautiful staffy. Beautiful dog.
Good on you guys! keep going and looking forward for the next video.....A big hug from Sicily
Thank you so much 😁
Best most down to earth funny video with a proper adventure. Your like a changed bloke. Seem sooo much happier. Well done. Looking fwd to alot more videos like this one Please.
Great to see you out and about again Will and Evie
7:15. That's hilarious I've got same issue with my sprinter, abs light came on and I looked at the tank and there must have been 1-200ml in it that's it.
I was very confused hah
Evie is lovely ,she’s a keeper ! Love her for not sitting in the passenger seat instead she’s the driver , like Emma and Marianne two other British UA-camrs that drive respective van in their videos and the men are filming and video editors! Stuff that didn’t deliver like gas and breaks just made adventure and the love between you was so romantic ❤❤
It looked good Will. I was in the middle of Spain when I had a power steering and clutch failure. I did have great plastic wine glasses though, so you could improve.
Awww welcome to Evie. I love Abergavenny. My daughter & grandkids lived there for 10 years but moved just before COVID and are now just down the road in Cwmbran. I've stayed for weekends in the Bailey Park car park in my camper
It’s a cracking location to access the rest of the Brecon Beacons
Loving this vlog Will!.... wishing you and Evie all the best for your vanlife adventures together!.... but I am now getting ear ache as I dont drive our crafter.. send help for easter weekend as Evie has set a precedence 🤣 xx😊
A great video... Dvie was right about the brakes and the hill angles... so gud on her ...
The food looked fantastic as did the scenery....
Looking forward to the next video ...
Looking forward to seeing more of your Wales trip and nice to meet you Evie!
I’ve overfilled and got a rag pushed it in the reservoir to soak up the extra it did the job great channel always interesting and humorous 👍
Hi Will.... Thanks for introducing us all to your very important person as you said, your very nice Girl Friend. I was great to see you guys together and thanks for sharing and good to see you happy and smiling. Kind regards to you both, Steve 🙂
I think it's safe to say Evie is the boss at driving that van cool as a cucumber and highly capable I think you are going to be a passenger princess there Will! She's definitely a keeper! Calm around the Will chaos look forward to seeing more of Evie on the channel holding you to account for not checking your gas! Lol you should have known it would go first time you want it! Looking forward to part two 👍👍
Hi Will and now Evie! We are glad you are off on your adventures again! Have a great time and maybe catch you again on the NEC bus 🤣🤣🤣
Will we all know your a big time celeb these days but next time you journey north St Helens misses you! You fancy giving us another visit? Wounded I missed you would love see your beloved Mary, nick some ideas off you❤ van life love 😂
Yay Will has a lady friend and is back in Mary, plus you drove within 5 miles of my house so that's all 3 van lifers I've watched who have drove so near. Absolutely love wales and spent a lot of time there as a kid, my uncle owned a cottage there, we also have an amazing view of wales just a 2 min walk from our home.
Welcome to the family Evie (sorry if I've mis-spelled). Seriously Will, happy for you brother. Hope you have many adventures together and hoping we get to be part of them 🙂
A roadtrip video was overdue. I'm pumped for this!
It really was 🚐
Things may occasionally go wrong, but Will has solutions. Seen folks run out of gas on other channels (ahem those happy days) but Will can always find the solution. Excited for the future of the channel.
Nice to 'UA-cam' meet Evie, good show Will, definitely worth watching to the end 👍🐕🚐👊
Will in Swindon! Mad seeing where I live in one of your videos. Love it
Oddly relatable 😂😂 when i introduced my girlfriend to motorbikes and riding, it was nothing but problem after problem. So long story short, a coastal ride turned into pushing the bike through a field. But i wouldn't have changed it for the world! Great vid as usual Will, hope you two are looking after yourselves ❤
Thanks so much Will.....you made my day again. Still trying to get that way, but the old body just won't cooperate. Don't think I could handle a flight unless you knocked me out first. Oh well....in the meantime....I will continue to be most grateful for you and your videos.....even with the mechanical glitches. But you had Evee with you......who seems very smart and resourceful indeed. Until next week......I will go back and start at beginning. Start the adventure all over again!!!! Love and hugs to you both!
Thanks, wishing you all the best 😊
If you use a lemon to cook for anything,do not throw it away,pop in fridge they are good to stop and absorb smells,safe travels!
Happy to meet eveie and glad you are back on the road in mary
All the best mate, im sure things will fall into place soon! keep up the good videos
Lovely story Will, really enjoyed this one.
Great drone footage of you guys trawling through those mountains ❤
That’s only a small snippet of south wales mountains and valleys etc. I live about 35 mins from the beacons. Great video will! Gods country for a reason! 🏴
you picked a stunning place to go. can't beat it. great video again Will. keep them coming 😃
So good you seem to be coming out of your dark period. Been there done it and found the light at the end of the tunnel. May the rejuvenated Will carry on entertaining us.
You two put a smile on my face.
Hi Will another great video and welcome Evie, I look forward to seeing more of your Wales trip 😊
Lovely to meet you Eve. Great fun up those road Will. Stay safe you pair.
will soon be down that way, 2 weeks !! Could try cwmdu campsite near crickhowell
Great to see you in your van again. Great to meet Evie.
Hi Evie!! I'm so glad Will has you around. He really, really needs help with cooking. He only knows how to cook chicken fajitas, lol. Such a great adventure!! Nothing ever goes as planned. Thanks for the chaos and laughter, Will. Xoxo from 🇱🇷
You should do one in a folding camper (not a folding caravan, a canvas top, caravan bottom)
Ooh, my cousin lives in the Brecon Beacons! Nice to see Evie on the channel, cheers!
Wow .. really liked your video .. i will buy in the near future a van and get my girlfriend with me , and maybe tour many parts of the city .. good luck with your journey brother .. ✌️

Superb to see you with Evie, Will! Loved this video too, cant wait to see what else you get up to :)
Welcome Evie, nice to see some class coming to the channel after all these years of Will 😉. I am looking forward to seeing your future adventures together. It is time to brush Felix down and for me to start hitting those roads again.
Cracking video mate, always brilliantly presented, how the mainstream TV and Sky/ Prime haven't snapped you and others up for your own showtime is beyond me, so much better than the rubbish on telly ...Great to see Evie , have fun and safe travels guys x
Van life looks amazing, I just can't convince my hubby x
I love open water swimming 365 days in all weather's, in Scotland, sometimes having to break the ice to get into swim x
Would be so good to have a van, n stay over in Glencoe, Loch Lomond etc, just need to convince hubby first xx
When there’s a Will, there’s a way. Thank you Will for a really awesome video. ❤️❤️❤️✌️🤟🏼👍⭐️
Excellent video from Will &Evie tours ...good chemistry between you two .well done
Always back up plan with the electric hob
Nice to meet you, Evie! You seem to be a great team. I hope to see many more joint adventures from the two of you. 🥰
Nice to meet Evie hope she comes on many more journeys with you great video xx
Great video Will, nice to meet Evie, stay safe and well.
How nice to meet Evie, I hope the both of you have some great van life adventures in the future!
Nice one mate. You’ve struck gold there. You need to show Evie some of your best dogging spots 🤔.
Great video 😊 one day I will own a camper !!
What a lovely natural beautiful person evie is. Looks like the parents approve. Can see where the cooking and driving skills came from x
Go and do hellfire pass mid wales some steep drop offs but amazing views there is a big park up at the top which is sheltered from the wind
Ive missed these vids , i wasnt a fan of the caravan reviews i said that day 1 , just my honest opinion. So glad u are back behind the wheel

The look on your face when evee said "it's getting worse" priceless😂😂😂😂 good to see you two so happy, nice to meet Evee 👍👍👍
What a great looking couple! ( You and Evie aren't so bad either! lol) Let the adventures begin!!!!!
Welsh viewer here I'm from Blaenavon literally right next Abergavenny 😮😂 love the content mate keep up the good work 👏 hello evie 👋
brilliant video .. great scenery .. lots of laughs. 💯
Fantastic video!!! It has relit the fire for me to get my van done and to get out to adventure in it.
There are always days where is seems that everything is against you and it has been like that for me recently but your video has me smiling so thank you. Onwards and upwards and keep the good videos coming.
if your brake fluid warnings come on it could be because your low on break fluid but most commonly because your brake pads have warn out or your braker discs have warn out also it could be a bit of both the reason your brake fluid warning can come on cause of warn out brake pads and discs is because there are 2 or 1 pistons on your brake calipers and as your brake pads and disks wear out the break caliper pistons move further towards the discs to adjust for break pad and break disc wear and as a result of this the break fluid gets low as there is more space because the break pistons have moves and made more space for the brake fluid to fill in but usually its ok and you just need to changer your brake pads and disks if your tight on money ask them to check the disk wear to see if its safe to reuse them again and only replace the break pads but i would recommend changing them all to be safe but if your break pads are new and brake disks are new or not that old you may have a burst break liner somewhere or a burst break piston seal its worth getting your breaks checked regularly to be safe its important as its what stops you im a mechanic and i check mine every month i also do checks before i get in my car or on my moto bike anyways stay safe bro and i love your videos they have helped me so much with my depression and intrusive ocd thanks bro keep up the amazing work bro and stay stealthy
