BACKGROUND STORY:
We're Michael and Fern, and this channel is to document our journey selling our house and living in an American RV. Tired of being stuck in jobs we hated, we decided it was time for a change. We started our own businesses, allowing us to work remotely. After a lot of personal and spiritual growth, we realised it was time to break free from the chains and live a little. Everyone waits until they are old or retired to do this and that makes no sense to us so here we go!

Enjoying your vids , look forward to to seeing your journey evolving 👍🏻
Thank you so much 🙏🏼
You are young, live your dream, I wish you love on your journey xx
That’s the goal ❤️ thank you
@@ToKnowFreedom ❤️
Use a macerator, this fits on the bottom as you hose fits for black and gray.
It then lets you run a long 1 inch hose, this will pump up hill upto 6ft.
Enjoying your videos! Do a video about your backstory. How you met, where you lived, what you did for a living and what you do now!
What they do now is in the video.
@@tomheal2095 I must’ve missed that bit then? Have you got a timestamp please?
Going to be doing a video on this very soon 🙏🏼
@@ToKnowFreedom awesome. Thank you
Watching you guys from my narrow boat currently near Shropshire happy travels to you both 👍
They sound amazing, seen a lot of people moving to them!
Great video can't wait to see your journey 😀
I’m glad you’ve done another video. I enjoyed that I’m loving your motorhome. I bet people who have brought English motorhomes are so jealous of your motorhome with the slide out and so much room 👍
Thanks Clifford, will be posting every Sunday unless we have something on 🙏🏼and that’s why we love it so much extra space!
Living your best life ❤️ loved seeing what yous do day to day 😊
❤️❤️❤️
Hi, enjoying your videos 👍
The drive over grid may also have had a lift up plate for your black waste that the lady mentioned.
Thank you 🙏🏼 Unfortunately the drive over grate was just for grey waste and stated no chemical waste!
This is my first video and I already find your channel interesting!! I've subscribed.
Thank you soo much ❤️
“That’s actually an ick” 🤣🤣🤣 of course the first dinner you make is fajitas 🌯😂❤

Thank you! Just saw you have your own channel - we have subscribed ❤️
Love the videos guys,keep the coming 👍
Thank you Ross 🙏🏼
Beautiful part of the world, I love Scotland .
Scotland is brilliant the only downside is the unpredictable weather!! 😅
Wow ..... Your voice is seriously great 👍👏
Thank you! Hope you can understand the accent 😅😂
Yay, you were first video came up when i opened youtube. 😍
Wow thats cool - thank for watching Janna. We love watching your videos - you need to get yourself a youtube channel!! ❤️
Well done guys out of the rat race, living the best life. The RV is an absolute belter 🤩
I was trying to figure out where you were, as you said you can see Loch Lomond then you said you were leaving Lanark 🤔 I stay in balloch so I will keep a lookout for the RV
I was up in Arbroath on 11th July as my middle son I joining the marines and had few days training in condor, the views of the North Sea are amazing.
Thank you ❤️
We were at a parkup called West Kilbank Cottage just outside Lanark - we have now linked it in the description :) From there you can see right through the valley to loch lomond!
Wow we have been up loch lomond way a few times since getting the RV - will be in future vlogs. Definitely keep an eye out for us!
Its soo lovely up that way especially when you get good weather like we had 😍
@@ToKnowFreedom sorry excuse my ignorance on the Lanark view thing.
we definitely don’t appreciate what we have on our front door, we just don’t get the weather and the midges are crazy.
I have wee speed boat that I like to take onto an island, let the dog run mad 😂
I will definitely be on the lookout 👀 I certainly won’t miss the RV.. she’s beautiful 😍
Wow that sounds unreal - max and Jet would love that!
Haha yep it’s hard to miss 😂❤️
Loving your videos so far. Can you please share the campsites details?
Thankyou Tina - we have added the details of both parkups visited in the vlog to the description ❤️
Watched all your vids so far guys. Love your RV. So want one. If you'd like to be on a podcast on entrepreneurtv let me know and can sort something out for you
Would love to to hear more about your online wor, how you got it up and running etc and how much time you spend working on the road
Stay tuned for our next video 👀
I love Scotland, my partner is from Bearsden. My dream is to do van life unfortunately he doesn’t share the same dream. Lol
You guys are insanely insperational! Awesome update, and massive congratulations on the sale of your House. Do you guys plan on buying something else or are you planning on living off grid? P.s that carrot cake looked Ridiculously Good!!!!
Thank you so much 🥹 Unfortunately things have not gone that smoothly with the hosue - updates to come in future videos! We do not plan on buying at the moment we are thinking of travelling Europe and eventually might buy land or somewhere in Europe to stay! We are up for going with the flow just now and loving it ❤️
Best carrot cake ive ever tasted! 😍
I am afraid you will find most campsites are not set up for black tank waste, it’s the same throughout Europe. Only the US and Canada have adequate black waste/ dump stations. Consider changing the toilet to a separator, composter or cassette.. Looking forward to your travels.
We have managed so far but yes we may look at changing it in the future! Thank you ❤️
We don't have any problems...
Remember yours is not chemical waste... so as long as it goes to a toilet sewer it's OK. Many campsites accept black waste.
You can allways use a macerator.
In europe it's dead easy as lots of motorhome dumps at motorway service stations.
Never had a prob in 8 years
Another great video, I’m currently trying to convince our lass for us to do the same as I’ve got a Class 1 license but she’s having none of it atm. Please keep the positive videos coming so I can convert her 😊
Thank you so much 🙏🏼 Our plan is to keep it real so you will see the good and the bad and can make your own decision ❤️ we absolutely love it so far and do not regret it one bit! 🥰
@@ToKnowFreedom that’s definitely the best way to be, be yourself, personally I’m loving watching your story. So envious of you guys ❤️
So glad you are enjoying van life. The first site you went to looks charming. I tried searching for Kirkfield Bank, Lanark but couldn’t find it. Can you share the location please? 😊
We couldnt recommend this parkup more - we have been back twice since the first visit and are made to feel at home each time. We have added it to the description now with the link on park4night. Its called West Kilbank Cottage - just outside Lanark in Scotland ❤️
Thank you! I’ll check it out. 👍🏻
Nice park up👍
Its such a stunning place - couldnt recommend more! We have listed the details for both parkups in the description! 🥰
Another good video, what is the name of the site you stayed on?
We have listed them both in the description ❤️
When I come up to Scotland in October will I be able to meet you
We plan to be in Europe in October - will see how it goes ❤️
@@ToKnowFreedom cool have a good time
So what's the plan? Will you travel full time or will you find somewhere permanent to park/live in it?
No solid plan we are going with the flow - once the house is sold we are planning to head to Europe to travel for a bit 🙌🏼❤️
Ah right cool. Europe sounds like a good plan 😁@@ToKnowFreedom
What campsite are you at?
We have now added details of both campsites to the description ❤️
What's the MPG of that beast?
Tbh we are still not 100% sure - if we were running it on the petrol engine it would be extortianate but because it has the LPG conversion its a lot more affordable!
Please write yourselves a check list of things to do before take off.
And follow it .... Will save you a lot of headaches.
We have a pre-flight checklist on our phones ❤️ Took a few times to get used to remembering everything but we are getting speedy at it now!
Nice to see a young couple with their Dogs living life on the road, enjoying your videos, be sure to head over to Europe sometime, its far better than the UK.
As soon as things with the house are sorted we plan on heading over to Europe! its far too cold in Scotland during the Winter!!! We cant wait ❤️
What will you do to sort out the toilet emptying problem? A longer hose? I didn’t realise RVs didn’t have cassettes.
So far we have managed to find quite a few campsites that have a suitable setup to allow us to empty. Some people have suggested a macerating pump but we have not looked into that yet!
Love the videos guys, but whatever effect you are using to blur the background is a bit jarring
Thank you and fair point thanks for the feedback - we will hopefully be able to upgrade to better equipment soon!
Rhoda Streets
I hate to say I told you so but you’re gonna find it difficult to find places that can accommodate your toilet emptying needs. Most places don’t cater for American RVs
It can be a challenge at time but weve always managed 😊
You mess with your hair a lot, I’ve started counting how many times, can you stop please it’s messing with my OCD 😂😂
You lot are so sad 😂😂 get a life
What does it matter what she does with her hair? Another good video, best of luck to them, looking forward to their next one!
Ah ignore the comments about your hair flick - everyone has their own thing they don't realise they do, keep on being you
Leave the wee lass alone. You have nothing better to do with your time than make nasty comments, don’t comment at all!!! You carry on lass just being you. We’re all different, that’s what makes the world. Be bloody boring if we were all the same. Have a super week ahead, looking forward to your next adventures xx
🫣 appologies - it should stop in future videos! I wasn’t aware I was doing it until watching the footage back. Think it was just nerves at the start! ❤️
I love Scotland, my partner is from Bearsden. My dream is to do van life unfortunately he doesn’t share the same dream. lol
Scotland is brillaint we just need better weather! Hopefully we can convince them!! 😍
