So sorry for you guys. Such a fantastic down to earth family with the guts to go live your dream and having this plahava is such a shame. I'm more than sure when all this is sorted out you will all be living your best life. Lots of love Lindsay xxx
Thank you for this so sorry didn’t realise what the “thanks” was about until reading through the supportive comments this evening. We are so grateful thank you XxRR
Oh my gosh! Thank you Tom! This is so unbelievably kind of you.. we are so grateful. Sorry we didn’t reply straight away as usual it’s been a busy few days searching for furniture. XxRR
I've always said things happen for a reason. I think it's good to return to your house and get a second chance to refresh your thoughts and make decisions. Great video guys
So sorry you’ve had to go through this , good luck can’t wait to see you on your travels again . Looking forward to seeing you show us some of Wales never been their , take care xx
The fact that the house didn't sell was fate, in your favour. Now you can spend plenty of time getting the van sorted without the pressure that you had till now. Look at it this way, It could have been worse but you guys have the love, to conquer anything, together. We love you all. Dave.
Really feel for you guys, for being so brave to make the move and and go for it, for it not to work out this time. Keep strong and it will all come good in time. Stay strong, keep positive and enjoy everything 👍
Thank you very much, life is for living and doesn’t come without risks. We are lucky we have had the opportunity and the ability to still go away so we are grateful XxRR
Best of luck for the future, I'm sure you will make the right decision, what's best for your family. Look forward to your new adventures. Take care xxx
Its NEVER over.... You both know what's best for the family, I believe I would do exactly the same if in your position... If your motorhome goes back then it will be a new fresh start with something different, if not, you pick up where you left off once its repaired... What ever the outcome, we'll all still be following the next chapter and supporting you... X
Hi really enjoyed watching your video the E BIKE looks brilliant hope everything works out with the motor home really really looking forward to seeing your next video keep safe 😷👍🏻
I totally admire you guys, you have tried & have had some big bumps in the road. But you’ve picked yourselves back up again and dusted yourselves down. You’re authentic and have given a true reflection of full time van life. The dream isn’t over, you’re just taking the good bits that you enjoy & while having a base again. Best wishes to you and I’m looking forward to following you’re content. Em xx 😘
Hi guys love your channel. You can park at the pub at Bugsworth as long as you ask. (and maybe buy a pint). We live in the Isle of Man. Have you been here? If not, you need to! Loads of wild camping and very camper friendly.
So sad to hear that the flooring has halted plans for you. Stay positive guys, spend the time planning the journey once the issue is resolved and keep looking forwards. Wishing you all the luck!
Hi guys sorry things haven’t quite gone to plan. My grannies favourite saying was ‘when one door closes another opens’ , I have found this to be generally true over the years. So looking forward to seeing more adventures for you ahead and hopefully we meet up again soon. H and M
You are both positive and things will work out for you because of your positivety! So glad you are finally getting answers on your van. Look forward to see what happens in the future and following your journey 😀 Take care
What an adult decision to make. You will come back even stronger than before. I am absolutely looking forward to be part of the journey. Exciting times!!
Heart breaking! You are doing the right thing preparing to cross bridges before you get to them. Getting your full money back is a result, though. Congrats to you and well done Black Horse. The upside is you can start planning again, and the planning is a big part of the fun.
Thank you Garry, we are very lucky that we had the opportunity to even try! With all the van issues plus the house sale falling through we couldn’t risk it any longer, least we can still travel plenty as well XxRR
Sorry things have changed your plans but hopefully you will get everything sorted. Looking forward to seeing what the next chapter holds for you all. You are so positive in all that you do that things will work out for you all, no doubt about that!
Great big hugs and much love. You are being bloody brilliant as HWTHMBO said "you'd be having a breakdown by now". You've done everything right and even if you'd not been full timing 8 weeks is less than we do a year by miles. Wishing you all the best, we'll be watching with baited breath. X
Good to hear you have some options on the van. I admire your resilience in the face of what you've been through. Wish you all the best with your next adventure.
So sorry to hear your still having the problems. Good shout though on keeping your home 🏡 covers all eventualities 👍😃 We love Wales…always have an incredible time whilst there, so much to see and do. Best of luck with sorting out your house and re-filling it 😉 Look forward to watching your continuing adventures however that may be 🚐👏😃 Michelle and Andy
Hi, so glad the issues with the van seem to be moving in the right direction. Hopefully everything will eventually fit into place & you can decide how you move forward 😊 Take care……Kim
High there from Margam Port Talbot, hope your all well. It a shame about your motor home but good news about getting your money back. Stay safe and well all of your family xxx
PS You two, i love the view from your back garden, i miss the rolling hills, its very flat where we live now in S/W Ontario.. its all farmland.. anyways take care looking forward to your next video.. bye for now ;-)
Hello sorry to hear about the problems with the van. We too are having our van floor fixed which is a pilote. Burstner where renowned for bad floors which had to be replaced enmass. Pilote have now changed the flooring on new vans.
So sorry to hear this guys, but you have to do what is best for you and the kids. You are doing the most sensible thing. Hope the van gets sorted soon. 💜x
Thank you both, everything happens for a reason, we are lucky we can still do travelling plenty and some is better than none at all. Congratulations to you too xx
What a difference a week or so makes. Great to see you so upbeat after all that has happened and brilliant that things are beginning to move in the right direction for you with regards to the faulty floor & Black horse's influence!
We are gutted for you guys but sure you will bounce back, and as we love wales can’t wait to see your vlogs of your beautiful country, all the best from us…
Hi guys sorry you are having to put your van life on hold for awhile,go back home and refresh your options and see what transpired.Stsy up beat I am sure all will turn out for the best. Regards from Hereford
Catching up. Sorry to hear that your plans are temporarily put on hold. Great to hear that you are hopefully getting the van issues to some solution. Thinking that your home situation will sort itself out. Remember “what’s for you will not go by you”. Certain you will live the dream no matter what obstacles block your path. All take care and stay safe.
Ah great video both, glad you kept some finance on the van always a fab idea we learned that 6 yrs ago when we had our auto sleeper van conversion. We live in Skewen and are looking forward to our next away Thursday off to Llandulas and Llandudno for 5 nights then down to Malvern for 3 nights, good luck with everything I'm sure it will all be worth it 👌 thinking of you take care xx
We hope it all get sorted quickly, so you can move forward & carry on with vanlife & if you build your own then it will be great viewing. We're back in Wales mid June so will definitely catch you there. Good luck... ✌🙏💙
I think you will find that the floor is the 1st thing that is placed on the chassis. Then sides etc added. So I am glad for you that your getting all your money back. This composite floor is also used in the USA RV construction with the same results or even worse. Light weight and insulated it may be but durable it is not. If you choose a panel van then the structure is already there for you to madify with insulation etc. Good luck and keep positive.
Thank you Robert, exactly why we didn’t want it repaired as it wouldn’t be the same … we haven’t had it confirmed that we are having money back but it’s an option if the inspector finds it to be not fit for purpose so we wanted to play it safe XxRR
Wow! what a journey you are having, im gutted for you tbh.. but you defo making the correct choice... great to see your taking it in your stride to just get on with life, good for you both and your children... ATB from Canada.. ;-)
Thank you Kenny, we are lucky we can still do it sometimes that’s better than nothing at all.. once the van is sorted we will know more and who knows what the future holds, thank you for Sticking with us and following XxRR
I'm glad you are going to continue with the vlogs l would really miss it l hope some of the comments made them think about doing the right thing with the motorhome regarding floor but lm sure we will see you back in a new motorhome fingers crossed for you Kenny
Thank you Kenny, yes we are going to continue with the videos it’s lovely to hear how much you all enjoy watching. We appreciate your lovely comment XxRR
Life sends us many obstacles. What you are going through is just that . You will overcome this and be better and wiser for it take it from an older lady who has traveled this world and has come thru all the rough stuff and survived to be ok and happier . Love and best wishs to you all .its going to be ok .xoxo
Thank you Kathy for sharing, you are right, once the motorhome is sorted we can rethink for now though we plan on a Welsh adventure see you next Sunday XxRR
Ah bless you pair, i can tell your gutted about the van , but i hold my hat off to you for facing it head on and youve kept smiling through everything, and you know what?… things happen for a reason, youve still got your house and that was meant to be because youve got that security havnt you. Plus you know you can bounce back from this and whatever happens, you will get a motorhome back one way or the other, and thats what its all about, your healthy the kids are just fine and all is not lost, so gobless you all and keep fighting for that dream cus it will all be worth it. I think your a great family whos had some really bad luck with that van but your dreams are just round the corner🥰🥰xxx A dream we chased with moving to wales from staffordshire came crashing down on us a couple of years ago because the house in wales wasnt all it was cracked up to be and that feeling of having your insides ripped out and feeling gutted and also the thousands of pounds it cost to getting so close to that dream was devastating! So i truely know how you are feeling, i feel like giving you all a massive (((((((hug)))))) xx
Thank you Dawn for taking the time to share this with us, sorry to you about your house in wales who knows another may be available to you one day. We feel lucky that we even had a go but like you say the problems with the van plus the house stuff we were sitting ducks rather than truest adventuring which we love. So, we are happy we get to do this some of the time at least for now.. see you next Sunday XxRR
Hope you guys get the van sorted or / replaced and good luck hope it all works out for you guys ❤️❤️ I’m with the man but !!! Don’t like the big bulg up to of cab .. but with kids there so practical. Take care guys xx
Guys I'm so so sorry this hasn't worked out for you. I have the EXACT same van as yours on a 21 plate and I was distraught to learn of your difficulties with the floor. I keep a diary and spent 26 days/nights in the van last year so its barely used. I'm now really worried I'm going to have the same issues as you ahead. Gutted Roller Team seem to be letting you down the way they are :(. I would never have expected that. Please keep us updated on your progress with the van and best of luck for the future whichever way your path takes you :) Nick :)
Hi Nick, thank you for commenting, the 20/21 Models seem to be problematic for some, as we have heard. Just keep an eye on it. Although ours happened very quickly after we bought it so if it’s fine now fingers crossed it will remain fine XxRR
Ahww guys. What another great Vlog from you. We hope that all goes well. It was great to meet you at the Peterborough Show and for us, tomorrow is the Big Day. I get married for the first time aged 57 !! That's SCARY. We will endeavour to send you a photograph of us both. Best Wishes to you all, Dave and Sophie xxxxxx
Guys im gutted 😥😥 but its the correct decision, the buy it back option is the way i would go then shop around again self build 🤔, but please keep the videos coming your such a happy family and i thoroughly enjoy watching your trips, very best wishes 🤩❤
Thank you so much Paul, we hope to do a van build in the future you never know this could be why we have had so many problems .. see you next Sunday XxRR
Looking forward to seeing what happens you have given us a great insight to motohoming which will help us with our plans to do it, thank you and stay positive we all support you 👌
Aww sorry guys this has happened but the positive is that although your house had problems selling, imagine if it had of sold then the floor issues in the van surfaced then? These things happen for a reason, at least you have somewhere to go whilst you work out what is going to happen and the choices you have in front of you and I look forward to watching your journey ahead.
Hi Guys. Please don't give up. Keep going onwards and upwards. Positive thinking will keep you going, love watching you Guys. From thereedyreadsanddave
Shame my converted Movano only has 2 seats and sleeping for 2 as I'm selling it. Old doggie can't travel anymore. Hope you get a good van and have fun converting it.
Hi Guys hope all works out in the end with the Motorhome. Once again brilliant Vlog. Very interested in the e bike just one question you don’t have to pedal with it having a throttle
So sorry things haven't gone quite to plan after the bravery exhibited by all the family of embracing an off grid lifestyle of freedom, travel and a different way of being. Don't give up on the dream though. It's just a stumbling block. As you said, you all gelled well in minimal space. The home schooling worked and I could see the children loved it. You are one of my favourite UA-camrs to watch. Both of you and the children bring a lot of fun and joy. Families could learn a lot from you. Looking forward to watching your next step in the journey. Hope a good solution is reached concerning the van. 🆓👍😀
@@TheRollingRucks we’ve never done any “wild” stops always think someone’s gonna knock on the van at stupid o clock in the morning and tell us to bugger off 😬😬 We did fontygary last weekend, can’t wait for the overland show, our first ever show we’ve camped at.
@@ian_morg fontygary is fab! There’s one near llandow circut which is nice also. Always thought the same but as long as no double yellows or signs to say no overnight camping you be fine. Try out the bells they may be a pub stop XxRR
Aww I’m gutted for you, but it’s a sensible decision. Your house is beautiful mind…. If ever you sell in future let me know 😂😂I’m considering giving up full time van life to get a house coz I can’t cope with uk winter in a motorhome anymore 🤪
Hi Sarah, thank you for commenting. It’s needing some work but we do love it. Shame out journey has ended for know but we have time to decide what’s next! XxRR
Very much doubt it is possible to replace the floor as the floor is placed on the chassis first then the furniture is built on top before the sides and roof are built on top of the floor. There’s no way they can replace the floor as far as I can see anyway.
You are right, the whole thing would need to be dismantled and put together again, nothing would fit back the same and could imagine a whole host of new issues to deal with as a result! XxRR
That is so sad that you won't be travelling anymore, I love your Welsh accents, I am originally from North Cornelly, but have lived in Australia for donkeys, love your content.
Hi Rose, it’s not forever, we plan on travelling again and will still pop a video out every Sunday.. lovely to hear you are in Australia we loved our time out there! XxRR
Hi Guys.. I am so very sorry things haven’t worked quite as you planned but thank goodness 🙏🏼🙏🏼you still had your home, it’s a beautiful home, I wish I could send some things over for you to help, as I have plenty of everything but the postage would be a killer.. I am pleased they will give your money back if that’s what you want.. Your positive attitude will help I’m sure and as you say you will still be travelling as long as you have a MOH, I could see the kiddies loved being home, as I said your home is beautiful.. Take care, we all support you 💯% in all you do Thank you for sharing.. Much love 💖💖💖🇦🇺❌❌
Hi Vicki, thank you for the thoughtful comment but yes would cost a fortune in postage 😂 we shall be okay just start small and work back up we only need some basic stuff to begin with. The kids are happy with the extra space but not liking they will have to return to school in the future. We will await news regarding the moho before doing anything else but will keep using it until then! Videos will still be each week just may be a bit more varied whilst we plan out new lifestyle XxRR
@@TheRollingRucks Yes Darlings, we all look forward to sharing your new journey, none of us knows what the future holds, but I am so happy for you that you will still be doing what you love. Thinking of you all and wishing you all the very best. ❤️🇦🇺🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️
🇬🇧🦋keep positive everything happens for a reason , new beginnings ... get yourselves back on course . Get van sorted then World is your oyster again .. love the bicycles x great idea 💡 Love to everyone love lulu and Paul 🇬🇧🦋xx
@@TheRollingRucks 🇬🇧🦋totally understand ... we have been a bit like you both in limbo , waiting for things to settle Keep positive all of you ... x lulu and Paul 🦋🇬🇧
They did have them with them as you would see throughout other sections of the video but had taken them off when playing by the river, they were swiftly made to put them back on 👍🏻 XxRR
Not the result we wanted for you but at least you can restart and with everything you have now learnt, next time around should be even better, keep safe but looking forward
Family first 💕 best decision for you all , you deserve a full refund from them . You will be back on the road in no time , giving you time to sort out the home and if you’re like me a good sort out in the camper 😃 . Looking forward to your next vlogs, enjoy you lovely people . 🌈
@@TheRollingRucks I absolutely love watching your vlogs ! One happy family . I’m out in my Betty at the minute at Flamborough. Back to work Tuesday 😁 making the most of days off . Have a lovely time back in Wales 🏴 x
Am vexed that you’ve had to change your plans but…one door closes and another opens…you’ll soon get your dream back on course. Still can’t believe all the hastle that you’ve had, keep strong.
I always believe in "what will be will be". It was meant to not sell your house. Time now to take stock of your life now, and what you want for the future. The children seemed happy to be home though.
Sorry youv'e been messed about by Roller Team, such a let down but hopefully inwards n upwards for your future plans n you can get back out on the road n enjoy life, come down to North Pembrokshire where irs nit so commercialised as south pembs... tenby etc is a nightmare for motorhome owners you just arent allowed to park up theylle move you on to try n get you into "their " campsites 😔
@@TheRollingRucks Cardiganishire is beautiful as well, Newport Beach, Cardigan, Aberaeeon has a few close to beach campsites and the whole county is very welcoming :)
You are doing the right thing, if there is anything we can do to help let us know, fantastic to catch up with you at Peterborough, well done black horse. Really feel for you, but you are so positive and smiling, love you to bits ❤️❤️
Your such a lovely family. Met you briefly at the weekend and you were both super friendly. Really enjoy your channel. Happy travels
Thank you so much means a lot xx
Thanks
So sorry for you guys. Such a fantastic down to earth family with the guts to go live your dream and having this plahava is such a shame. I'm more than sure when all this is sorted out you will all be living your best life. Lots of love Lindsay xxx

The fact that the house didn't sell was fate, in your favour. Now you can spend plenty of time getting the van sorted without the pressure that you had till now. Look at it this way, It could have been worse but you guys have the love, to conquer anything, together. We love you all. Dave.

Hi really enjoyed watching your video the E BIKE looks brilliant hope everything works out with the motor home really really looking forward to seeing your next video keep safe 😷👍🏻

A repaired van will never be the same. Makes sense to move back in house for a while. And start again when house sold and get another van.
Thank you Richard, hopefully will know more next week XxRR

If you choose a panel van then the structure is already there for you to madify with insulation etc. Good luck and keep positive.
Thank you Robert, exactly why we didn’t want it repaired as it wouldn’t be the same … we haven’t had it confirmed that we are having money back but it’s an option if the inspector finds it to be not fit for purpose so we wanted to play it safe XxRR
Being half Welsh (mum born in Merthyr) and lived in wales till I was 6, I’m loving the vids. Keep em coming.
Thank you, appreciate it XxRR
Wow! what a journey you are having, im gutted for you tbh.. but you defo making the correct choice... great to see your taking it in your stride to just get on with life, good for you both and your children... ATB from Canada.. ;-)
Thank you Kenny, we are lucky we can still do it sometimes that’s better than nothing at all.. once the van is sorted we will know more and who knows what the future holds, thank you for Sticking with us and following XxRR

Thank you 😊 hope you are feeling better and things work out too XxRR
I'm glad you are going to continue with the vlogs l would really miss it l hope some of the comments made them think about doing the right thing with the motorhome regarding floor but lm sure we will see you back in a new motorhome fingers crossed for you Kenny
Thank you Kenny, yes we are going to continue with the videos it’s lovely to hear how much you all enjoy watching. We appreciate your lovely comment XxRR

You will overcome this and be better and wiser for it take it from an older lady who has traveled this world and has come thru all the rough stuff and survived to be ok and happier . Love and best wishs to you all .its going to be ok .xoxo
Thank you Kathy for sharing, you are right, once the motorhome is sorted we can rethink for now though we plan on a Welsh adventure see you next Sunday XxRR
Ah bless you pair, i can tell your gutted about the van , but i hold my hat off to you for facing it head on and youve kept smiling through everything, and you know what?… things happen for a reason, youve still got your house and that was meant to be because youve got that security havnt you. Plus you know you can bounce back from this and whatever happens, you will get a motorhome back one way or the other, and thats what its all about, your healthy the kids are just fine and all is not lost, so gobless you all and keep fighting for that dream cus it will all be worth it. I think your a great family whos had some really bad luck with that van but your dreams are just round the corner🥰🥰xxx
A dream we chased with moving to wales from staffordshire came crashing down on us a couple of years ago because the house in wales wasnt all it was cracked up to be and that feeling of having your insides ripped out and feeling gutted and also the thousands of pounds it cost to getting so close to that dream was devastating! So i truely know how you are feeling, i feel like giving you all a massive (((((((hug)))))) xx
Thank you Dawn for taking the time to share this with us, sorry to you about your house in wales who knows another may be available to you one day. We feel lucky that we even had a go but like you say the problems with the van plus the house stuff we were sitting ducks rather than truest adventuring which we love. So, we are happy we get to do this some of the time at least for now.. see you next Sunday XxRR
Hope you guys get the van sorted or / replaced and good luck hope it all works out for you guys ❤️❤️ I’m with the man but !!! Don’t like the big bulg up to of cab .. but with kids there so practical. Take care guys xx
Thank you, we will be travelling again at some point but for now it’s the uk, who knows what’s is around the corner XxRR
Guys I'm so so sorry this hasn't worked out for you. I have the EXACT same van as yours on a 21 plate and I was distraught to learn of your difficulties with the floor. I keep a diary and spent 26 days/nights in the van last year so its barely used. I'm now really worried I'm going to have the same issues as you ahead. Gutted Roller Team seem to be letting you down the way they are :(. I would never have expected that. Please keep us updated on your progress with the van and best of luck for the future whichever way your path takes you :) Nick :)
Hi Nick, thank you for commenting, the 20/21 Models seem to be problematic for some, as we have heard. Just keep an eye on it. Although ours happened very quickly after we bought it so if it’s fine now fingers crossed it will remain fine XxRR
Hope you get it sorted, please get back soon love your vlogs
Thank you, see you next Sunday XxRR
Hi oliver hi dexter hi Amelia I can’t wait until u all come back to school
Xx
Ahww guys. What another great Vlog from you. We hope that all goes well. It was great to meet you at the Peterborough Show and for us, tomorrow is the Big Day. I get married for the first time aged 57 !! That's SCARY. We will endeavour to send you a photograph of us both. Best Wishes to you all, Dave and Sophie xxxxxx
Wowzers!! Tomorrow?? Amazing!! So happy for you both our thoughts are with you on your very special day xxxx
Hi just been watching dad and mazzy in your house ,they love it , I think they said they're gonna swap now so no chance of you getting them out ANGELA
Hahah bless them, so pleased to hear they are happy and enjoying themselves XxRR
Guys im gutted 😥😥 but its the correct decision, the buy it back option is the way i would go then shop around again self build 🤔, but please keep the videos coming your such a happy family and i thoroughly enjoy watching your trips, very best wishes 🤩❤
Thank you so much Paul, we hope to do a van build in the future you never know this could be why we have had so many problems .. see you next Sunday XxRR
Looking forward to seeing what happens you have given us a great insight to motohoming which will help us with our plans to do it, thank you and stay positive we all support you 👌
@@paulbeecham8313 thank you, this is so lovely of you to say XxRR
Aww sorry guys this has happened but the positive is that although your house had problems selling, imagine if it had of sold then the floor issues in the van surfaced then? These things happen for a reason, at least you have somewhere to go whilst you work out what is going to happen and the choices you have in front of you and I look forward to watching your journey ahead.
Thank you, such a kind thing to say XxRR
Hi Guys. Please don't give up. Keep going onwards and upwards. Positive thinking will keep you going, love watching you Guys. From thereedyreadsanddave
Thank you Mike, appreciate your support XxRR
Don't ever leave us guys x
Haha thank you Baz, glad you like watching us XxRR
Good decision in my opinion. Great video again 👍💙❤️
Thank you so much XxRR
Nice van. 💚🇬🇧💚
Thank you XxRR
Been there , great stopover , sad to hear about the change of policy , the local pub was great
Thank you Jeff XxRR
Shame my converted Movano only has 2 seats and sleeping for 2 as I'm selling it. Old doggie can't travel anymore. Hope you get a good van and have fun converting it.
Thank you Terry, we will still travel we just need to figure out the motorhome stuff first see you next Sunday XxRR
cant believe u wer at high tied lol couuld have come for a pint its where i live lol
Always down there Jason 😂 hopefully see you soon XxRR
Are you going to the Stratford meet june third
Hello, yea we will be there XxRR
Hi Guys hope all works out in the end with the Motorhome. Once again brilliant Vlog. Very interested in the e bike just one question you don’t have to pedal with it having a throttle
Thank you Andy, pleased you enjoyed watching your feedback means a lot.
The E bike can go just with the throttle but you must pedal to be legal! XxRR
So sorry things haven't gone quite to plan after the bravery exhibited by all the family of embracing an off grid lifestyle of freedom, travel and a different way of being. Don't give up on the dream though. It's just a stumbling block. As you said, you all gelled well in minimal space. The home schooling worked and I could see the children loved it.
You are one of my favourite UA-camrs to watch. Both of you and the children bring a lot of fun and joy. Families could learn a lot from you. Looking forward to watching your next step in the journey.
Hope a good solution is reached concerning the van. 🆓👍😀
Thank you Karen for such a lovely comment we appreciate your support and feedback XxRR
Very good bike. We have been looking for 2 bikes. Is it legal for the UK. You don't mention in your video. Cheers from old George and Jane 👍👫
Hi both, as long as you pedal it’s fine XxRR
Hope you get the decision you’re hoping for on the Moho. I’ve heard of the hi tide camping but never booked it, might be one to try 😍😎👍🏻🏴🏴
Thank you Ian, appreciate it.. There’s a nice spot at southern down to try! XxRR
@@TheRollingRucks is that the 3 golden cups or a different one?
@@ian_morg yes, there’s also a car park at the top of the cliff we are hoping to try it out soon XxRR
@@TheRollingRucks we’ve never done any “wild” stops always think someone’s gonna knock on the van at stupid o clock in the morning and tell us to bugger off 😬😬 We did fontygary last weekend, can’t wait for the overland show, our first ever show we’ve camped at.
@@ian_morg fontygary is fab! There’s one near llandow circut which is nice also. Always thought the same but as long as no double yellows or signs to say no overnight camping you be fine. Try out the bells they may be a pub stop XxRR
Plan the next stage of the dream and keep making those epic bacon butties !
Thank you Simon, will do. Them butties are class 😂🤣😂 XxRR
Interesting to know if this is a common fault?
We have met many with the same issue XxRR
Good Luck
ThAnk you XxRR
Aww I’m gutted for you, but it’s a sensible decision. Your house is beautiful mind…. If ever you sell in future let me know 😂😂I’m considering giving up full time van life to get a house coz I can’t cope with uk winter in a motorhome anymore 🤪
Hi Sarah, thank you for commenting. It’s needing some work but we do love it. Shame out journey has ended for know but we have time to decide what’s next! XxRR
Very much doubt it is possible to replace the floor as the floor is placed on the chassis first then the furniture is built on top before the sides and roof are built on top of the floor. There’s no way they can replace the floor as far as I can see anyway.
You are right, the whole thing would need to be dismantled and put together again, nothing would fit back the same and could imagine a whole host of new issues to deal with as a result! XxRR
Look your a lovely family but I think you might need a rethink but you know what you want
Thank you Mark, maybe, but we are playing it safe until we know more about the moho for the kids XxRR
That is so sad that you won't be travelling anymore, I love your Welsh accents, I am originally from North Cornelly, but have lived in Australia for donkeys, love your content.
Hi Rose, it’s not forever, we plan on travelling again and will still pop a video out every Sunday.. lovely to hear you are in Australia we loved our time out there! XxRR
Hi Guys..
I am so very sorry things haven’t worked quite as you planned but thank goodness 🙏🏼🙏🏼you still had your home, it’s a beautiful home, I wish I could send some things over for you to help, as I have plenty of everything but the postage would be a killer..
I am pleased they will give your money back if that’s what you want..
Your positive attitude will help I’m sure and as you say you will still be travelling as long as you have a MOH, I could see the kiddies loved being home, as I said your home is beautiful..
Take care, we all support you 💯% in all you do Thank you for sharing..
Much love 💖💖💖🇦🇺❌❌
Hi Vicki, thank you for the thoughtful comment but yes would cost a fortune in postage 😂 we shall be okay just start small and work back up we only need some basic stuff to begin with.
The kids are happy with the extra space but not liking they will have to return to school in the future. We will await news regarding the moho before doing anything else but will keep using it until then! Videos will still be each week just may be a bit more varied whilst we plan out new lifestyle XxRR
@@TheRollingRucks Yes Darlings, we all look forward to sharing your new journey, none of us knows what the future holds, but I am so happy for you that you will still be doing what you love.
Thinking of you all and wishing you all the very best. ❤️🇦🇺🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️
You need to go to the next place down from celebrity is LA herradura the is wild parrots it's lovely the is camp site on the beach
Awesome thank you xx
🇬🇧🦋keep positive everything happens for a reason , new beginnings ... get yourselves back on course .
Get van sorted then World is your oyster again .. love the bicycles x great idea 💡
Love to everyone love lulu and Paul 🇬🇧🦋xx
Thank you both, once we know more we can plan better at the moment it’s risky with the kids too. XxRR
@@TheRollingRucks 🇬🇧🦋totally understand ... we have been a bit like you both in limbo , waiting for things to settle
Keep positive all of you ... x lulu and Paul 🦋🇬🇧
be a good idea to have the kids wearing cycle helmets
They did have them with them as you would see throughout other sections of the video but had taken them off when playing by the river, they were swiftly made to put them back on 👍🏻 XxRR
@@TheRollingRucks it should be second nature and no better time to start than when young with developing minds.
Not the result we wanted for you but at least you can restart and with everything you have now learnt, next time around should be even better, keep safe but looking forward
Thank you, once the moho is sorted we can decide what’s next. XxRR
Family first 💕 best decision for you all , you deserve a full refund from them .
You will be back on the road in no time , giving you time to sort out the home and if you’re like me a good sort out in the camper 😃 . Looking forward to your next vlogs, enjoy you lovely people . 🌈
Thank you Pauline, such a lovely comment we appreciate it ;-) we are so pleased you are enjoying watching XxRR
@@TheRollingRucks I absolutely love watching your vlogs ! One happy family . I’m out in my Betty at the minute at Flamborough. Back to work Tuesday 😁 making the most of days off . Have a lovely time back in Wales 🏴 x
Am vexed that you’ve had to change your plans but…one door closes and another opens…you’ll soon get your dream back on course. Still can’t believe all the hastle that you’ve had, keep strong.
Thank you Isobel. Love that you say vexed too haha brilliant! Everything happens for a reason hey XxRR
I always believe in "what will be will be". It was meant to not sell your house. Time now to take stock of your life now, and what you want for the future. The children seemed happy to be home though.
Thank you, we still plan on travelling but need to find out what’s going on with the motorhome first XxRR
Sorry youv'e been messed about by Roller Team, such a let down but hopefully inwards n upwards for your future plans n you can get back out on the road n enjoy life, come down to North Pembrokshire where irs nit so commercialised as south pembs... tenby etc is a nightmare for motorhome owners you just arent allowed to park up theylle move you on to try n get you into "their " campsites 😔
We love west wales so pretty! Hopefully be around over the weekend XxRR
@@TheRollingRucks Cardiganishire is beautiful as well, Newport Beach, Cardigan, Aberaeeon has a few close to beach campsites and the whole county is very welcoming :)
What ever you decide don't give up the freedom of vanlife. I would say let them buy the van back. And move on to a new camper. Enjoying your vids
Thank you, that brings its own worries with cost etc we will be continuing to travel and vlog as much as possible XxRR
You are doing the right thing, if there is anything we can do to help let us know, fantastic to catch up with you at Peterborough, well done black horse. Really feel for you, but you are so positive and smiling, love you to bits ❤️❤️
Thank you so much, we loved seeing you too, we are going to Malvern hopefully see you there ;-)
Love ya too xxx
It’s a shame you had to make this decision but I’m sure it’s the right thing to do till you get everything sorted out
Thank you Doug XxRR
