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.
When you start to think about content for us you will start to feel the strain. Just do it for you that is what makes your channel different. We love what you do. ❤
@@Stchristopherofatlantis I know what kind of topics can get you views...You can do both at the same time. In your own format, but also topics that they(viewers) need ...and want.....and they are ......
This has been a great video as me and my wife want to kick off with weekend motorhome travels. We are going to the motorhome show in February, it would be a privelege to meet both of you and discuss more of your experience over a meal, we live in Weston Super Mare.
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.
You two are so funny. I've said it before and keep saying it you are like a breath of fresh air. And continue to do what your doing much appreciated. 👍
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.
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 are 16 days away from selling up and buying our van for full time on the road. We will go to so many places you’ve shown us both sites and towns. So we think you’re priceless, doesn’t matter what you’ve spent, look at what you have experienced and shown to others a beautiful way to explore and travel. All wearing no pants!!!! Awesome xx 😂😂😂😂😂
Hi, only just started watching your channel, so am binge watching older videos as well, we love your humour and think you should just keep doing the same. We love the east coast especially around Scarborough and Filey😎
Hi Andrew & Clare ive been following your Bike channel but just come over to your Caravan Travel ,im a passionate Biker but Camping / Caravan ingredients is my passion for the same Reason as yourselves ,I've just purchased a Tentbox Lite on top of a Nissan Navara pick up , which I used at the ABR Festival for 3 nights last year with a small ktm 390 Adventure on a bike trailer . I love both the Biking and Caravan/ Camping community the cost was so much more Affordable if you are on a Budget thanks again Eric W aged 69 .
Hello Eric. We are delighted you are watching our videos 👍 We are heading to ABR this year. Your tent set up sounds great. We hope you have a great weekend.
It doesn’t matter what kind of videos you guys do, you’re always entertaining and informative. I feel like I’ve known you for years. More of the same please 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You mentioned in this video that some numpty had written some nasty comments about you both previously. Don't for one minute get yourselves vexed about such negativity - when your on the top of the hill there is always someone ready to knock you down. Your videos are great fun to watch, very informative and wonderful. Even going back a few months is nice - good to see the sunshine and warmth. That is really what you bring and what we look forward to in your videos. All the very best to both of you.
Hi you lovely pair! We’ve been motorhoming since the 1970s, you two are the nearest to the way we do it, always campsites for security!!👍 We share your enthusiasm and love for the lifestyle. Your fun and banter cheers us up so much!! We always look forward to your vlogs! You’re definitely our favourites! Please keep doing it!!❤️❤️ We also watch your biker channel too! Love that also!😍😍 Deb & Bri. Xx
Love the video, Missus and me have really enjoyed it, Andy. You're funny, but Claire is another level but saying that she is from Sheffield and everyone knows we're the funniest Yorkshire people 🤣 👍🤣
Hi guys, great vlog. Just wanted to give you the best compliment I can, finding ourselves at Seaton sluice a few weeks back, I was so convinced I’d been there before giving my husband all the historical facts about it, impressing him greatly 😂 it wasn’t until I saw the doll on the swing I remembered Claire’s laugh and realised I hadn’t actually been there before, I’d just watched your video 😂 thanks for taking us with you x
Hi Jane, Claire here. This is one of my favourite comments and it’s made me smile no end. We loved it there 🤩👍 We send you and your husband our best wishes xxx Happy travels
What I want from your videos is to see you guys happy, that’s what’s life’s all about. 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!
New viewer,You are so good together,no wonder your viewing figures are high.When you mentioned about feeling the need to go to the toilet when you filled the tank up with water made me smile and always remembered when footballers who struggled to do a urine test [ for drugs] always ran the basin water taps to help get it out !
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 😂
You can please some of the people some of the time, but not all of the people all of the time, just keep doing what you are doing you seem so natural and relaxed and with your banter and Clare's giggle makes for really enjoyable viewing 😊keep up the good work.
Really great vlog guys , everyone to their own as I watch vanlifers who park off grid but I really like the fact that you park up on campsites and provide honest views of them , thank you x
Awesome Again guys. Herindoors says to get Alian tape to stick stuff down in the van. It sticks really well and can be peeled off easily when you need to move the item you’ve had stuck down. 👍 Keep it lit. 👍🚐💨💨
Your channel is one of my favourite channels on UA-cam , the content in your videos is always entertaining you are a really nice couple and both have good senses of humour so you don't need to change anything , and the addition of pablo and dora is a bonus . So keep bringing the content and we will all follow you on your journey. And you should visit the little spa town in Ilkley.
Love this video. Can’t speak for everyone but I’m sure like us, you have a lot of followers because of you two (and those perfect pups). You’re so lovely and funny with each other it’s just nice to watch. Please know burnout is a real thing so please remember to keep making time just for you. So, keep being you, don’t worry too much about where you go just keep laughing. Oh and when are the St Chris pants coming out?? 😂😂
You tube found you for us a few weeks back and you are brill. We are canal boaters but bought a motorhome a year ago and we really relate to you. And yes Fidden Farm is anazing❤
Just don’t change, you’re brilliant, and totally agree live for today, can’t take it with ya, that’s why I’m skint towing a caravan with a camper van. 😊
Just come across you two and we really like you and your content I’m recently took early retirement, we also have a Motorhome a Dakota and also I have my bike so really interested in what you have to say ❤
Love your vlogs so just keep doing what you are doing, you're naturals. One thing we love about having a van is being able to take our dogs with us everywhere.
Very much liked your frank video, first watch for us! We have a 6 meter Motorhome with a 'U' shaped rear Dinette so the bed is always made up which is a big bonus! Could do with more storage for bigger stuff like chairs etc! To make them more accessable!
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 )
Hi Clare Andy . We have the bed that comes down from the roof and we don’t use the ladders . We bring the bed so it’s just off the sofa bottom cushion and take the back cushion off and I then use a step to get on the bed . So easy to get on & off . Julie 4ft 11😊
Your so right Andy, enjoy life together at every moment, you never know what’s around the corner, life first, work second, take that from someone who used to work 60+ hrs a week, keep up the good content guys, love your vids.👏👏
Great video again, pink and blue jobs are the best ! Apart from when it’s raining, then hubby gets a bit miffed. Blue tac Clare for the plant, might as well DIY !!! Keep up the great job you’re doing, love it 😂😂😂😂
Had to smile at the 'Pink and Blue jobs' that's exactly what me and my wife Jenni say 🤣, we are campers / caravaners and I'm a keen motorcycle rider (a past time I know your also enjoying). Loving the content 👍
We've booked for a place called Bargoed Farm in Wales.Each pitch has a hot tub, so we'll see how we get on with that😆. We're not just fine weather campers either, love it when we're all cunchty cozy & watching the rain or snow through the wondow. Aaah, bliss. Keep doing what you do best, thanks again
When you add it all up, the memories are absolutely priceless. Why not spend your hard earned money on your most favorite passion. Liked getting to know you guys a bit more and enjoyed your thoughts. Personally we are away this weekend in York and are looking forward to doing absolutely nothing, just chilling, with quite a few beers...priceless
The best thing about your videos? This is easy guys because the answer is YOU TWO! I genuinely could listen to you talking all day. 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.. Many thanks X.
Hiya guys, fiona here.... Worth every penny & so many fabulous memories made... Glad to hear 2 of the best were in Scotland 😊 2 of our best this year are the introduction to Fidden Farm & Madri 😂
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
I completely agree with everything you just said! Having a Motorhome has completely changed our lives, sounds dramatic but it’s true. Like yourselves mainly go away after work Friday and then longer stays when got hols from work. Soooo look forward to it, keeps me going. Keep enjoying yourselves 😊😊😊
Well done you 2. We have had to sell ours and I am in mourning. Get yourselves to France/Spain this is a whole new experience which we loved in our 10 years of motorhoming ❤
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.
Happy 1st Birthday St Chris of Atlantis Mark 2. We have very much enjoyed you sharing your first year of motorhoming, thank you for taking us along with you. The best thing about your videos is you two & it's as simple as that, not forgetting Pablo & Dora. We look forward to many more, but only if you wish to share.❤
You are my husband’s favourite channel. We got ours about 4 months after you & we absolutely love it. We live in Kent & haven’t made it up north yet so we’ve done the opposite to you 😉😂 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.
The reason I watch is I love seeing all the different places you go but it would not work without both of your sense of humor love you both keep up the good work.
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! 😂😂😂 Happy travels
Keep it all going we love a watch and enjoy a bit giggle with you. If ya ever fancy a over night cheap trip pop to Seaton carew and we’ll buy you a pint in our local.
My wife and I did exactly the same and bought our first motorhome 2 years ago and we try go out nearly every weekend, rain or shine, we absolutely love it and I sleep better in the van than at home! A lot of money spent but “You only live once” we said and we haven’t regretted it one little bit, Oh! and by the way brilliant informative video , more like this 🙏
We watch you everytime, you should visit, what is called the best view in England, it's called Sutton Bank National Park Centre in north Yorkshire, near Hambleton on the A170, it's absolutely amazing, you'll love it, keep up the good work guys and doggies ❤️
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!)
I just got my first motorhome three months ago and I absolutely love it! Best thing I ever did for me and my dog. 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!
We love watching you both, you are so down to earth. We have a caravan and go away every 3 weeks for 5 to 7 days .There are so many lovely places to see .Already got lots booked for next year. Keep enjoying your M.H and making great memories and great videos 🌞🍻
We have a camper and you described being in a camper perfectly!! It is cozy. I love winter camping too. My husband put an electric "fireplace" in ours and sitting looking out is so cozy!!!! The campingbug bites!!!!❤❤
We’ve watched you from the start in your van, we love your sense of humour and the way you come across plus juggle work etc like a lot of us do. If any suggestions I would say bring back van talk loved it🫶take care and enjoy
I love watching you both, you individually bring so much to your channel. Listening to Claire’s facts is something I enjoy and the natural banter between you both. I would say to keep doing what you’re doing 🎉
We love your down to earth outlook on life. And humour. I’m still laughing about the what 3 words episode. Just keep doing what you’re doing…. It’s perfect. ❤
You two are an amazing couple, watched so many of your videos over the spring and summer. Just wanted to say thank you so much for the half hour of relaxing time you give everyone once or twice a week. A lovely channel.
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.
Absolutely totally agree , we wished we had bought one sooner , love the channel and enjoy the thoughts totally honest , take care , if ever you come to the midlands would be great to catch up talk Motorhomes, dogs & motorbikes ❤
Thanks for bringing happy positive channel you’ve taken us to some super places that I will never be able to. Visit and hilight some of our beautiful island hope your channel goes from strength to strength thanks 😊😊😊
I don't think we really know the work and sacrifice that goes into the videos, so thank you both. Can't think of outt to recommend that you should or need to do for forthcoming episodes other than, if it ain't broke, then don't fix it.
Loved it guys ❤ miss and love the bit where the rude male answers comments it's gold, think most of us would still watch and follow wherever the channel goes, that reminds me ill go catch up on that guy that does the motorbike midlife stuff 😂 sorry love that aswell, mine was a bmw coupe haha 👌
We were a month later in buying our motorhome after you & our first site booking we had to cancel due to snow 😢 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. BTW we have self levelling, worth every penny. Xx
We're exactly the same as you, in our 40's, no kids, and bought a 6m motorhome a year ago and we have loved it!! And yes, we're always the youngest motorhomers on the campsites. Keep up the fantastic videos!
Very true what you both say about moterhoming ..Ha ha ha My husband have the same problem when filling up the water .love watching you both and dogs thankyou.x
I’d just like to say regardless of where you go we really like you guys.. we like your banter with one another .. you clearly love and respect each other and enjoy what you’re doing … always come away with a feel good feeling … just keep doing what you do …we love it .. ps what about a trip to Runswick Bay … my favourite place in Uk Diane and Mick
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.
Loved this one as it felt like you were sat in our lounge chatting to us! We're caravanners loving your channel (we'd like both too 😅) so glad you're carrying on your vlogs but please don't overdo it! You need some R&R too 🥰 Definitely do a Q&A one, but please Claire, make sure Andrews wearing some pants 😂🤣 xx
Well done for 12 months of brilliant content. Just think, could you go on holiday so often without the motorhome & it's cost £75/night. And you get to take the dogs. And you get to see some amazing stuff. As you know, we love watching your adventures. P, N & the boys ❤
You guys are so normal - in a good way. Your authenticity, sense of humour and positivity towards the places you visit are wonderful 🙂
Love this, thank you ❤️❤️👍👍
You need it to work 4 yourselves first and foremost that's the only way you'll be able to keep it going, you need to put yourselves first imp 🙂
Brilliant guys, keep it up.👍
Hi guys I recently got diagnosed a cancer and everything on UA-cam is so depressing whenever I see you use cheer up my day thank you so much❤
Hello. We are sending you our very best wishes and sorry to hear your news.

Good shout on lowering the bed way down, we didn’t think that bit through 😂😂👍👍👍👍
You two guys really have to try rallying, it’s a great way to see some fantastic places and it’s usually only around £12-15 a night.
Will take a look 👍👍
A bespoke lifestyle you can’t buy off the shelf.. you evolve into the traveller you become. Inspirational blog diary guys.

Not boring really love your travels and chat thanks both
Awesome, thank you!
Love it when you chat from your van. ❤
We will do more of it 👍👍👍👍
You guys are great together. Love your sense of humor. Always look forward to your videos. 😊✌
Thank you so much 😁❤️
I dont think you need to change much..
Your informative abiut the sites and towns
But best of all your down to earth and funny
Keep it up 👍👍👍
Thanks for that 👍👍👍👍👋

Hi Andrew & Clare ive been following your Bike channel but just come over to your Caravan Travel ,im a passionate Biker but Camping / Caravan ingredients is my passion for the same Reason as yourselves ,I've just purchased a Tentbox Lite on top of a Nissan Navara pick up , which I used at the ABR Festival for 3 nights last year with a small ktm 390 Adventure on a bike trailer .
I love both the Biking and Caravan/ Camping community the cost was so much more Affordable if you are on a Budget thanks again Eric W aged 69 .

Hello. How are you? The. car clubs sounds fab 👍👍 Have a great day and thank you for watching our videos
New viewer,You are so good together,no wonder your viewing figures are high.When you mentioned about feeling the need to go to the toilet when you filled the tank up with water made me smile and always remembered when footballers who struggled to do a urine test [ for drugs] always ran the basin water taps to help get it out !
Hello and a big welcome to our channel 👍👍
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 😂
Hi, Thanks for this
Send your questions… we will do one 👍👍👍👍
You can please some of the people some of the time, but not all of the people all of the time, just keep doing what you are doing you seem so natural and relaxed and with your banter and Clare's giggle makes for really enjoyable viewing 😊keep up the good work.
Thank you for this 👍👍👍
Love watching your videos ❤❤❤
Thankyou ❤️👍
Love it, your so down too earth.
Thank you 👍👍👍
I absolutely love you two - you’ve got a fab sense of humour and you never cease to make me laugh - keep on being brilliant ☺️
Hello. Delighted you laugh 😂😂😂
Really great vlog guys , everyone to their own as I watch vanlifers who park off grid but I really like the fact that you park up on campsites and provide honest views of them , thank you x
Thanks 👍 We really should try some off grid park ups 😂😂🚐🚐
@@Stchristopherofatlantis be carefull of any 'doggin' areas around Barnsley though. 😁
😂😂😂😂
Awesome Again guys. Herindoors says to get Alian tape to stick stuff down in the van. It sticks really well and can be peeled off easily when you need to move the item you’ve had stuck down. 👍
Keep it lit. 👍🚐💨💨
Great tip! Thankyou 👍👍👍👍
Your channel is one of my favourite channels on UA-cam , the content in your videos is always entertaining you are a really nice couple and both have good senses of humour so you don't need to change anything , and the addition of pablo and dora is a bonus . So keep bringing the content and we will all follow you on your journey. And you should visit the little spa town in Ilkley.
Thank you so much 😀👍👍👍👍
Love this video. Can’t speak for everyone but I’m sure like us, you have a lot of followers because of you two (and those perfect pups). You’re so lovely and funny with each other it’s just nice to watch. Please know burnout is a real thing so please remember to keep making time just for you. So, keep being you, don’t worry too much about where you go just keep laughing. Oh and when are the St Chris pants coming out?? 😂😂
St Chris pants 😂😂😂😂😂 eek 👍
You tube found you for us a few weeks back and you are brill. We are canal boaters but bought a motorhome a year ago and we really relate to you.
And yes Fidden Farm is anazing❤
Helloooo, delighted you found us ❤️👍❤️👍
Just don’t change, you’re brilliant, and totally agree live for today, can’t take it with ya, that’s why I’m skint towing a caravan with a camper van. 😊
This made us smile. Life is for living 👍
Hope you are ok
Just come across you two and we really like you and your content
I’m recently took early retirement, we also have a Motorhome a Dakota and also I have my bike so really interested in what you have to say ❤
Welcome to our channel and we are delighted you found us 👍👍 happy motorhome retirement ❤️❤️
It’s just great to watch you two enjoy yourselves
Thank you 👍
Love your vlogs so just keep doing what you are doing, you're naturals.
One thing we love about having a van is being able to take our dogs with us everywhere.
Yes we think this too 👍👍👍 happy travels
Very much liked your frank video, first watch for us! We have a 6 meter Motorhome with a 'U' shaped rear Dinette so the bed is always made up which is a big bonus! Could do with more storage for bigger stuff like chairs etc! To make them more accessable!
Hello welcome to our videos
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 )
I think we need to get a step as well 😂😂😂😂
Hi Clare Andy . We have the bed that comes down from the roof and we don’t use the ladders . We bring the bed so it’s just off the sofa bottom cushion and take the back cushion off and I then use a step to get on the bed . So easy to get on & off . Julie 4ft 11😊
Hello 👋 claire here and I need to get a little step 👍👍👍❤️
We have enjoyed all your videos. We have a caravan and I find I relax more in the van than at home.
Sounds great! 👍
Your so right Andy, enjoy life together at every moment, you never know what’s around the corner, life first, work second, take that from someone who used to work 60+ hrs a week, keep up the good content guys, love your vids.👏👏
Well said! Thanks very much for watching 👍👍
Great video again, pink and blue jobs are the best ! Apart from when it’s raining, then hubby gets a bit miffed. Blue tac Clare for the plant, might as well DIY !!! Keep up the great job you’re doing, love it 😂😂😂😂
Hello 👋
Blu tac it is 😂😂😂
Had to smile at the 'Pink and Blue jobs' that's exactly what me and my wife Jenni say 🤣, we are campers / caravaners and I'm a keen motorcycle rider (a past time I know your also enjoying).
Loving the content 👍
Hello 👋
We've booked for a place called Bargoed Farm in Wales.Each pitch has a hot tub, so we'll see how we get on with that😆. We're not just fine weather campers either, love it when we're all cunchty cozy & watching the rain or snow through the wondow. Aaah, bliss. Keep doing what you do best, thanks again
Subscribers have told us about this and it’s hit some great reviews 👍👍 Enjoy and let us know how you get on
When you add it all up, the memories are absolutely priceless. Why not spend your hard earned money on your most favorite passion. Liked getting to know you guys a bit more and enjoyed your thoughts.
Personally we are away this weekend in York and are looking forward to doing absolutely nothing, just chilling, with quite a few beers...priceless
A chilled weekend in York sounds fabulous
Enjoy it 👍👍👍👍
Hi you 2 😊 lovely natural video, showing the down to earth people you are, always enjoy your videos whatever you decide to do 👍
Thanks so much! 😊
The best thing about your videos? This is easy guys because the answer is YOU TWO! I genuinely could listen to you talking all day. 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.. Many thanks X.
Hi. Thank you for this Kevin ❤️
Love the idea of boats, sounds right up our street. Will look at this 👍👍 have a great evening
Hiya guys, fiona here.... Worth every penny & so many fabulous memories made... Glad to hear 2 of the best were in Scotland 😊
2 of our best this year are the introduction to Fidden Farm & Madri 😂
Whoop whooppppp ❤️❤️❤️❤️👍
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
Beans in a pot really should be illegal 😂😂😂😂😂 happy travels 🚐👍
I completely agree with everything you just said! Having a Motorhome has completely changed our lives, sounds dramatic but it’s true. Like yourselves mainly go away after work Friday and then longer stays when got hols from work. Soooo look forward to it, keeps me going. Keep enjoying yourselves 😊😊😊
Hello. 👋 we agree it is life changing and it has certainly done that for us 👍👍👍🚐
The videos I like best feel like you're doing your thing & you've invited us along for the ride, this video where you're chatting with us is one such.
Hi. We loved to read this, Thanks 👍👍
Have been watching for a while n well enjoyed ya journeys think ya well funny n ya doggies are well cure too!! X X X ❤
Thankyou 👍👍👍
Well done you 2. We have had to sell ours and I am in mourning. Get yourselves to France/Spain this is a whole new experience which we loved in our 10 years of motorhoming ❤
Oh no we hate to hear this and send you our best wishes xxx
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.
Hi there. Thanks for watching 👍👍
Your van sounds awesome. Andy would like a garage for a bike 😂😂😂🏍️
We wish your happy and long travels 👍👍🚐🚐
You guys are great,keep up the good work
Thank you! Will do! 🤣👍👍
Happy 1st Birthday St Chris of Atlantis Mark 2. We have very much enjoyed you sharing your first year of motorhoming, thank you for taking us along with you. The best thing about your videos is you two & it's as simple as that, not forgetting Pablo & Dora. We look forward to many more, but only if you wish to share.❤
Hello both.
You are one of our most earliest subscribers. THANK YOU 🤩 ❤️
You are my husband’s favourite channel. We got ours about 4 months after you & we absolutely love it.
We live in Kent & haven’t made it up north yet so we’ve done the opposite to you 😉😂
But thank you both, Pablo & Dora, we have loved your first year 🤗💖
Hellooooo your husband has great taste 😂😂😂👍👍👍
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.
Great to hear you are mended ❤️👍
The reason I watch is I love seeing all the different places you go but it would not work without both of your sense of humor love you both keep up the good work.
Thank you 👍👍👍
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
Hi 👋 We haven’t done a tallow so yes we plan to next year 👍👍👍
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! 😂😂😂
Happy travels
@Stchristopherofatlantis Oh, one thing we definitely had was a bottle opener .... it's all about priorities! 😂
Keep it all going we love a watch and enjoy a bit giggle with you. If ya ever fancy a over night cheap trip pop to Seaton carew and we’ll buy you a pint in our local.
Hi. We went to Seaton Carew mid summer (it rained! Boo) but we loved the promenade, had the most fabulous time there 👍👍👍👍
I always say the country has some amazing places to visit.. keep doing what you're doing ❤
Thank you for watching! We hope to 👍
Just enjoy being yourselves. we enjoy being with you. And I watch your bike journey, being a biker for 50 years.
I’m out on the bike later. Loving it 👍👍
I'm with you on the emergency wee Andy. I'm thinking of getting a commode for when I do the washing up 😂
😂😂😂😂
My wife and I did exactly the same and bought our first motorhome 2 years ago and we try go out nearly every weekend, rain or shine, we absolutely love it and I sleep better in the van than at home!
A lot of money spent but “You only live once” we said and we haven’t regretted it one little bit,
Oh! and by the way brilliant informative video , more like this 🙏
Yeah this is the same as us! Rain or shine!
Thanks for watching 👍👍👍
We watch you everytime, you should visit, what is called the best view in England, it's called Sutton Bank National Park Centre in north Yorkshire, near Hambleton on the A170, it's absolutely amazing, you'll love it, keep up the good work guys and doggies ❤️
Hello 👋 thanks for this recommendation, I’ve made a note of it as we haven’t heard of it before 👍👍
Heads up on the ladder.. pipe lagging and cable ties .. works a treat 😮
👍👍👍😂
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!)
Hello it’s not Claire, it’s Dame Judy. She insisted 👍👍😂😂😂😂
I just got my first motorhome three months ago and I absolutely love it! Best thing I ever did for me and my dog. 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!
Hi. Thanks for watching. Your first motorhome sounds fantastic 👍 we have heard of Cocos and will be going one day, the nature looks great. Enjoy 👍👍🚐🚐
We love watching you both, you are so down to earth.
We have a caravan and go away every 3 weeks for 5 to 7 days .There are so many lovely places to see .Already got lots booked for next year.
Keep enjoying your M.H and making great memories and great videos 🌞🍻
That is awesome! Hope to see you on the road 👍👍👍
First sorry lm late watching your video. You guys are so honest it nice to see that you have no regrets.
Thank you so much 👍
Love your channel. Look forward to the next 12 months.
Yay! Thank you!🙏
We have a camper and you described being in a camper perfectly!! It is cozy. I love winter camping too. My husband put an electric "fireplace" in ours and sitting looking out is so cozy!!!! The campingbug bites!!!!❤❤
That is awesome! Fireplace sounds ace 👍👍👍
We’ve watched you from the start in your van, we love your sense of humour and the way you come across plus juggle work etc like a lot of us do. If any suggestions I would say bring back van talk loved it🫶take care and enjoy
It’s the rant it’s the rant it’s the rant of the week 😂😂😂😂
@@Stchristopherofatlantis😂😂 it was brilliant, bring it back bring it back ❤
Interesting video
Hi. It won’t be long until you have watched all our videos 😂😂😂 Thankyou
@@Stchristopherofatlantis i know omg i am not sick of you guys yet LOL jokes aside great videos having great time watching them..
I love watching you both, you individually bring so much to your channel. Listening to Claire’s facts is something I enjoy and the natural banter between you both. I would say to keep doing what you’re doing 🎉
Thank you so much!☺️ 👍
thank you both for the past year and for showing us some amazing places 👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching
We love your down to earth outlook on life. And humour. I’m still laughing about the what 3 words episode. Just keep doing what you’re doing…. It’s perfect. ❤
We are pleased we didn’t get sued 😂😂
You two are an amazing couple, watched so many of your videos over the spring and summer. Just wanted to say thank you so much for the half hour of relaxing time you give everyone once or twice a week. A lovely channel.
Thank you so much!!☺️
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.
Hi. Thank you so very much for watching our video and we love to hear of your happy travel memories with your wife ❤️ we send you our best wishes
Absolutely totally agree , we wished we had bought one sooner , love the channel and enjoy the thoughts totally honest , take care , if ever you come to the midlands would be great to catch up talk Motorhomes, dogs & motorbikes ❤
Thanks for watching 👍👍 Happy travels
Thanks for bringing happy positive channel you’ve taken us to some super places that I will never be able to. Visit and hilight some of our beautiful island hope your channel goes from strength to strength thanks 😊😊😊
Our pleasure! loved it and thanks for watching 👍👍👍
Great video guys......love your sense of humour.....😊x
Thank you so much 😁
@Stchristopherofatlantis I'm not on the road till next week, but here is a 👋 from myself and Genevieve, my new to me home from home 😁 x
👋👋
I don't think we really know the work and sacrifice that goes into the videos, so thank you both. Can't think of outt to recommend that you should or need to do for forthcoming episodes other than, if it ain't broke, then don't fix it.
Thank you 👍👍👍
Loved it guys ❤ miss and love the bit where the rude male answers comments it's gold, think most of us would still watch and follow wherever the channel goes, that reminds me ill go catch up on that guy that does the motorbike midlife stuff 😂 sorry love that aswell, mine was a bmw coupe haha 👌
We can’t get hold of him anymore!!
The middle aged guy has been out on his bike today 😂🤩🤩🤩🤩
We were a month later in buying our motorhome after you & our first site booking we had to cancel due to snow 😢
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.
BTW we have self levelling, worth every penny. Xx
Hello. Scotland is an absolute yes. How are you guys
We're exactly the same as you, in our 40's, no kids, and bought a 6m motorhome a year ago and we have loved it!! And yes, we're always the youngest motorhomers on the campsites.
Keep up the fantastic videos!
Hello. Let’s hope we bump into you on a campsite one day soon 👍👍👍 Thanks for watching.
Very true what you both say about moterhoming ..Ha ha ha My husband have the same problem when filling up the water .love watching you both and dogs thankyou.x
Exactly!!👍 😂😂
I’d just like to say regardless of where you go we really like you guys.. we like your banter with one another .. you clearly love and respect each other and enjoy what you’re doing … always come away with a feel good feeling … just keep doing what you do …we love it .. ps what about a trip to Runswick Bay … my favourite place in Uk Diane and Mick
Hi Diane and Mick, Runswick Bay sounds great 👍👍👍
Portmeirion is a place to visit. Beautiful and a bit on the interesting side. Just a thought.
Hello. We looked here but no dogs 🙁
keep up the videos i love all the facts and information you come out with
🤣🤣🤣👍
Thanks for all your vlogs enjoyed the mixture of content
Glad you enjoyed it Ray 👍
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.
Hello Peter. It’s the French way Claire 😂😂😂😂😂 Thanks for watching
Loved this one as it felt like you were sat in our lounge chatting to us! We're caravanners loving your channel (we'd like both too 😅) so glad you're carrying on your vlogs but please don't overdo it! You need some R&R too 🥰
Definitely do a Q&A one, but please Claire, make sure Andrews wearing some pants 😂🤣 xx
🩲 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@Stchristopherofatlantis 🫣🤭😂😂😂😂
Well done for 12 months of brilliant content. Just think, could you go on holiday so often without the motorhome & it's cost £75/night. And you get to take the dogs. And you get to see some amazing stuff. As you know, we love watching your adventures. P, N & the boys ❤
Hello Peter and Nicky.
How are you? Thanks for watching and supporting us all this time 👍
Love to Bert and Rufus 🐾🐾❤️❤️
