We’ve changed from a fifth wheel and bought a 38’ diesel pusher now and loving it, not sure if you’ve seen our channel but would be lovely to meet you guys in person one day too. ❤

      Hey guys ❤️
      Thank you we are so excited as it means we can travel around without having to worry about the 180 days and leaving the Schengen zone!!
      We are still loving it but finding it difficult finding nice park ups in England / it’s starting to get super cold!
      Yes we’ve watched quite a few of your videos and live the new motorhome you have! Congrats on reaching 1k subscribers 👏🏼
      Yeah definitely we could maybe meet when you guys head to Europe at the start of next year? X

    • @thebebbsbeat
      @thebebbsbeat 2 місяці тому

      @ it’s funny, I mentioned to Di while watching you’re video this morning how bloody well you do finding places being the size you are 👍 so well done 😊.
      You can basically just hang around Europe now for 9 months, we’re thinking about it for 2025/26 winter time now, we’re looking to do Spain and Morocco this winter starting January so fingers crossed that all pans out nicely.
      We will have to keep in touch while we’re over in Europe to see where you are and if we’re close by, that would make an awesome video for both of our channels I think 😂😂 2 American RV’s meet up and fight over a park up 😂😂

    Your RV is large enough to fit a washing machine. A low energy, low water usage machine would save you a small fortune at laundromat’s. Drying the clothes would then become the challenge, although the new heat pump dryers are very economical.

    The smoke alarms make an enormous noise when the battery runs flat after 10 years, and then people don't know what the problem is 😄. The battery can be replaced, if that is the cause.

    • @ToKnowFreedom

    Just an idea guys, Ive never had to empty a black tank like yours, but could you not have a couple of manhole keys at hand then park up in an industrial estate and pop the manhole cover open and empty direct into the sewerage drain? I can't see any issue with it legally, as it is a purpose sewerage drain? Great vid as always, looking forward to your Europe travels.

    I’m so interested in your videos. My sister and hubby have just bought an RV and your info is so useful. Regarding your 6 month visa, did you have to justify why you wanted it and if so , what did you say. Also , was it expensive? Thanks

    • @ToKnowFreedom
      @ToKnowFreedom  2 місяці тому

      Aww amazing - glad that you are enjoying the videos and finding them useful ❤️ you have to show proof of funds (bank statements for monthly income and/ or savings), reason for visit (we just said for travel and our rough plan) and proof of accommodation (wrote a letter explaining we will be staying in our self sufficient motorhome and finding campsites/ parkups as we go). It was about £250 in fees plus travel expenses getting to the visa centre in London. But we think well worth it to have the extra time in the Schengen zone without worrying about going over your 90 days!
      Hope that’s helpful! We will probably do a dedicated video on it in future to explain the process better as we found it confusing and would have loved a video just explaining what to do! ❤️

      Not at all, we didn’t really explain in this video as we talked about it a lot in the last video. We got the French temporary long stay visa which allows you to stay up to 6 months rather than just 3 :)

    I’ve never got a Schengen visa for staying in Europe for up to 180 days, what visa did you get?

    • @ToKnowFreedom
      @ToKnowFreedom  2 місяці тому +1

      We wanted to stay within the Schengen zone for 5/6 months so had to apply to a visa. It’s the French temporary long stay visa :) allows us to stay until May.
      I think you can technically stay for the 6 months on your visa and then use your 180 days on top. We need to come back to the UK at the end of April anyway so 6 months is perfect for us :)
