My grandpa lived to be 100 so I got to know him well and hear his stories and life. He was a Fyffe (MacDuff clan). Married and came to America in his 30s, had 4 children. I have owned two VW Westfalia camper vans in my life and loved them. Wish they made them again. Traveled most of eastern America in them.

Love love this. You are a free spirit and loving life. My husband used to live onboard his yacht in Plymouth. He was retired. Then we got together and he moved to N Ireland. I loved the freedom of having no ties and the simplicity. We sailed round Scotland for the past 4 years with our dog. Got married in Plockton with just our kids and the dog. Unfortunately due to Ians health we had to sell up and i now drive our Motorhome! Big changes but just had to adapt. Planning a 3 month trip visiting all the places we love but just by road! Leaving Ireland in June. Stornoway for Heb Celt ( 4th time) then up to Orkneys for 1 month. Considering Shetlands too! We love Scotland so much. We have another dog with us this time. Bit of a tight squeeze but off we go! PS we have a wine and whisky stash too!

@jimbo80982 5 месяцев назад

I love this movement but I have to question, why are vans specifically so popular? The MOD surplus stores do whole pre-made trucks for this that are far better suited and maybe even cheaper, the only difference is the license used for them. For example, the old MAN HX. These often already have pretty decent living arrangements and I'd wager most have generators for electronics meaning you don't necessarily need to go to the trouble of adapting them. Their build quality means they're unlikely to break with the potholes at the expense of diesel. But with the larger surface area, maybe solar is more of a possibility too. Think people are missing a trick on it.

@scottishmaninavan 5 месяцев назад

Not something I personally considered. Vans are readily available and many convert them themselves. The roads in Scotland are often single lane up in the Highlands so I personally wouldn't want anything bigger than mine

I don't drive😂 I wonder if Scottishmaninavan would like a companion that also loves to cook😂😂 & comes with a springer spaniel sidekick & partner in crime? 🤔 Maybe I need to sell or rent my house & get a caravan in the middle of nowhere or an old fashioned horse drawn caravan seeing as I don't drive & take the slower pace.

Scottish man in a van- living Philosophy. It appears he has found purspose and meaning for life by transcending fears and self limiting mindsets. Toptastic.

If you wanted a wet room could put a swivel driver seat in to compensate the space lost,.

Aye I considered that but to be honest, I've used that shower inside about a dozen times in the last 17mths. I tend to use either gym showers or public showers that are actually everywhere. You just don't realise it until you rely on finding them ☺️

@@scottishmaninavan yes I know people who join gym's just for showering, I like the fuel station's now have laundry machines, I tend to hand wash socks and underwear which I do hang to dry in my wet room with a small skylight, best thing I've done is van life I'm deep south and one day will venture to Scotland, I prefer winter life. Thanks for replying good luck 👍

'Go down on a mortgage'? I've not heard that one before. Soon there'll be so many people living in vans and posting on YT you won't be able to move for them

I've been working from home full time since September 2018. I've always been a bit nomadic and have thought about trying this kind of life, but that would be quite a leap for me. So I'll continue to live vicariously through you for now 🙂
