    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 👍👍

    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!

    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.

    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 👍

    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.

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..

    We enjoy watching you wherever you take us, i dont get motirbikes, but enjoy watching you both on that channel too.
    We have same van, we lower our bed right down to seat level and use a fold out step to get in and out, so mych easier than the hateful ladder ! (Dog sleeps under the bed, on the floor )

    Brilliant video, we have had ours a year past August. Changed our lives. Just been to Beverley and it was lovely. Would never have gone without our MH. Only £29 a night! Private sites are great. Still don’t like beans in a pot! lol. x

    Keep doing what you’re doing.
    Might bump into you if you’re heading to the southeast next year, we are on the Essex coast.
    Regarding first motorhome, we loved ours but wanted something a bit bigger and like you Andy I wanted a garage.
    So after 5 years with a Compass Drifter we swapped it for a Burstner 747 and had ‘Bertie’ for 17 years and still love it.
    Keep up the good work guys 👍

    Just be yourselves, we love what you do, this video was spot on and from the heart, what more could we ask for, I love your openness and I agree with not discussing the price you paid for your motorhome as its personal, but all those other figures make sense no matter what your home cost, I sometimes think discussing money is a turn off and can cause division so its best to stay away for that.

      We are lucky enough to live on the edge of the Peak District so we are staying local in case we have any issues. Doing Bakewell, Ashbourne, Castleton and Edale. Think advantage of having a bigger van is can move much more easily every day. Don't need the driveway awning so less packing up and can watch the rain in comfort 😂

    Great video guys, you keep it real and don’t continually push power banks, e-bikes and other junk like so many other channels do. Like you were coming up to the first year of ownership and have absolutely no regrets. We have just booked in to have a levelling system fitted. We went with the Al-Ko HY4 system, not cheap but you get £600 off with your CAMC membership.
    Keep on travelling and making memories whilst providing us with your down to earth humour.

    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.

    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.

    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.
