    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.

    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.

    When you compare these costs with renting a decent holiday home for a couple of weeks especially with a dog it’s not ridiculous. We have been so disappointed in the past having paid a fortune. You know what the bed will be like, you have all your own things around you and can go wherever you want. We’re retired and have gone to a Motorhome from a caravan recently, we chose one where the bed drops down low enough not to need a ladder and the layout is pretty similar to our caravan. Good sized bathroom and loads of storage, it’s under 7 metres. Life is too short and as soon as we possibly can we’re going to get out and explore. Keep the videos coming to give us ideas.

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 👍👍

    As you get older you think back on the things you’ve done & it’s nice to have these memories. I was/am a car nut, was a founding member in a local 4x4 club then later in life was a founding member in a British car club. Along with building 2 homes from scratch feel privileged to have these memories along with my wife of 53 years!

    Don’t try second guessing what we want to see.
    You two are the USP that keeps me for one, coming back for more, even though Dame Judy may think it’s all her!You’ve explained the limitations of your travels as in, 2hours, 2 days and 2 nights. Then there’s, too wet,too cold, or too windy over the coming months,to add into the mix, a dilemma shared by many of your followers no doubt.
    I’m sure you can find inspiration to turn all these challenges into entertaining and informative vlogs.
    But, don’t make a rod for your own back, don’t be afraid to have the odd weekend off. A live Q&A once in a while, would go part way to filling my usual fix, as well as create the opportunity to share ideas, experiences and locations.
    Last but no least, the odd free beanie wouldn’t go a miss 😂

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 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.

    But thank you both, Pablo & Dora, we have loved your first year 🤗💖

    I think we talked about this when we met, our campervan has changed our lives so much for the better and as you say, there really is so much to see and do in just this country. I'm thankfully a living example of how your health can change literally in a heartbeat! I seemed to have had a good heart surgeon, too. Rambling up a steep hill the other day like a mountain goat and Tina was 50yrds back puffin'n panting! I consider myself mended and lovin' everyday in the van.

    I think you have done the right thing by having the motorhome now and not waiting until you retire, you don't know how fit you're going to be, also try the rallies next year with the camping and caravan club , there's a part called out and about you find them there. x

    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!

      Hi. Thanks for watching
      This is pretty much what happened to us, we thought it would be more straightforward forward but our water wasn’t long enough either. I’d not considered loads of things inside and we had no bottle opener! 😂😂😂

    We began watching your videos for the simple fact that you were visiting a place we are familiar with, however we enjoyed your approach so much that we were captivated. We love the way you seek out the interesting buildings and the history. We are caravaners who had a Motorhome for eight years your videos are relevant to both. BTW the posh voice over giving facts and corrections are clever and funny, we are certain it’s Claire! (Clare!)

We're on Coco's Wild Camp, in Wales right now, amazing views, all the fresh air in the world, had a lovely walk up to Water-Break-it's-Neck waterfall (what a name, eh?!) and yes, we do have levellers and are using them to the max right now and I have a fixed bed, too, and wouldn't be without it. Oh, and Claire, chocks is the word you were looking for. Love you guys!

    It's strange, the wife I bought a motor home in 2010. It never occurred to us to tell anybody else about our experiences. We had 12 years travelling Lands end to John O Groats. East Anglia to Pembroke. Ireland, north to south, east to west. Loved every minute of it. My wife is gone now, so is the van, but oh, the memories. Your blog brings it all back to me.

    We’re in our 60s, so wish we’d been in our 40s, it was a wise decision you made, as I feel we will run out of time before we see everything we want to explore.
    Scotland is definitely on the cards next year and your visit has helped us in our planning. Keep up the good work I hope you realise the help & joy you bring to lots of folks.

    Fascinating vlog. I bought a Moho and ran it for five years. I then bought a caravan and couldn’t get on with the faff of setting it up everywhere. I put up with it for twelve months. I’ve now got a campervan which for me as a single bloke is ideal. Oh and it’s got a fixed bed and a fixed bed is a game changer for convenience. Having watched your vlogs for the last year or so I think you are best with a Moho but I agree with Clair about the fixed bed. A really interesting watch. Thankyou. ❤ps did I spell Clair right. It could be Clare. . I don’t want to be in trouble.
