Folks I’ve watched your vlogs over the past couple of years and I have to say you never fail to impress me. You are so down to earth and oh so knowledgeable and bless you for passing that knowledge on. I’m not a full vanlifer but have a ‘senior’ Motorhome but many of your tips are a great source of help for me. So thank you and keep up the good work.

@daz.r1994 День назад

Great video about van life. May be buy a 2L kettle and a 1.9L to 2L Thermos this works great for me. I have been doing this for over 2 years now. I use a British No12 Army stove that costs £2.00 to fill with paraffin. I can boil my kettle about 16 time it's mint.

That was BRILLIANT. I lived in my MotorHome for over 8 years now and like you both I would never go back. I have to say I do work in winter and used the beautiful car park in the countryside where I work, So I do have income. I need to work as I am a GADGET freak. I am not handy like Neal but being in touch with gadgets I don't need solar panels even though I do have two but they where there before the GIANT simple game changer in electricity. Like Neal said you save money not living in a house. I am a big fan of EcoFlow lots pf people say there is better out there but that is choice. All my Van runs on is EcoFlow and LPG I could just live on EcoFlow. Few years back I paid £3600 for the EcoFlow Delta (3600W) Recently EcoFlow brought out the massive game changer Alternator. I fitted it myself in 30 minutes and wow amazing. Ive been after the likes of that red tap adapter for years so thanks guys oops and Doll for that. Ray K UK YNWA.

Hi guy's 👍🏻 a tip for your subscribers and maybe you 👍🏻. We bought the back end of an argos lorry 🤣 8 foot wide 10 feet high and 36 foot long all water tight £900, much, much cheaper than a shipping container, painted it and we now keep it on an industrial est £400 a year again much cheaper than self storage. We have racked half out for our tools, clothes etc from our old house and the other half both Beck and I have a work station on one side and settee on the other 🤣 it's like a little flat 🤣. Also as it's an industrial estate so nobody bats an eye when we go there to service our van (stuff everywhere 🤣) or work on the van and stop overnight. We also have the option of selling the trailor if we ever went back to a house (not happening 🤣👍🏻). The trailor has now paid for itself over the last 3 year's on what we have saved on self storage as at the very beginning of van life we to had a self storage unit at £120 a month 🤮 and it wasn't as big as our trailor . We hope this helps anyone out 👍🏻, a great video 👏👏👏👏👍🏻 safe travels sending love, peace and good energy ❤️🙏🏻

a great and honest video guys, filled with valuable advice based on your experience. Unlike loads who make vanlife look like its powered by unicorn wings. Another thing folk need to think about if people do think of getting someone to build theirs is to "DO YOUR HOMEWORK" and dont end up like I did as you guys know. Getting a CON-verter to rip you off and do a bad job. BTW..... that Kettle is brilliant. Viv has one just like it and I love mine. Neil, nearly choked at you geeking out on a transformer light that didn't behave🤣. Great video guys. Keep them coming. Much respect as always🙏-Kenny

@LeisureBit День назад

Really insightful - every time we go away for more than a few week I always get into the flow of it and fancy doing a long stint in the van, definitely one we’re considering for the future, really appreciate the insight as a couple of things there I wouldn’t have thought of. Fancy doing a van build from scratch before longer term as modding a manufactured van is ok, but still have the desire to do my own like you guys have done, imaging it gives a real sense of achievement. All the very best, David 👍

@stephenbland7461 День назад

I would love to know the legality of registering your driving licence, log book, insurance, bank account, HMRC, etc etc at an address you don’t actually live at. Questions? For example if the person who is allowing you to use their address is a single occupant, does that invalidate their single person council tax discount? If you go through a camera speed trap, and you are unaware, unbeknownst to you, fine gets sent to the person who’s letting you use their address? Same for parking fines? Apologies for being picky but I can’t be the only one wondering about this, and what if you don’t have a friend or family member you can ask. Safe travels.

@Mymail-z1x День назад

so you recon homeless people on the street should all be arrested because they can't afford the address?

@abeldiscounts1575 15 часов назад

lets answer that for you: 1: Post office provide a free service called Post Restante. They will send your mail to a nearby post office at no charge 2: Insurance, there are a number of insurers who specialise in this and are often cheaper as your in you van. 3. DVLA give them your Post Restante details. The £1000 fine is for not updating your correct details, using a Post Restante address means you are reachable by Mail to receive things such as speeding tickets new licenses vehicle documents. I’ve already checked with DVLA regarding this. HMRC, again use the post office service, majority of the time HMRC will contact you by email. Banking majority of the time its done on your phone and who has paper statements🤷🏽 Where there’s a problem, there’s a solution

@UrbanVanlife 12 часов назад

Emma here, I can see a couple of people have already responded to your question but I would like to also answer, firstly the above situation you have written out doesn’t apply to us, but for someone who it does apply to, if they are registered at a single persons home and it has an effect on their council tax etc surely that person would offer to help out with the bills? And if they are helping out with bills etc would they not be contributing to said household ? Just my own thoughts on this as I would not want to put another person in that position, we do not rely on anyone else for this and have found other ways for our legal documents which are legal and not involving anyone else financially, as already stated by other people there are other ways that aren’t conventional for people without bricks and mortar to do this the correct way! And in no way am I having a go at your for your question but genuinely can’t answer other than to give my thoughts on it

@stephenbland7461 11 часов назад

@@UrbanVanlife my question was a general one regarding the legal situation of a person using a residential address that they don’t actually live at, regardless of whether they contribute financially to the property, and not specifically directed at your situation. . And to the other response, at no time did I suggest that homeless people should be arrested because ‘they can’t afford the address’, whatever that means.

@UrbanVanlife 11 часов назад

I understand your question but we can’t answer a question that doesn’t apply to us so wouldn’t know what the answer was, and that’s why I gave my thoughts on it, but if someone is paying for a bill at someone’s house and contributing why would they not have a right to have their documents sent there? I know people who work away 11 months out of the year and still have all their documents at their parents house so in theory would those legal issues you raised not also apply to them as they don’t actually live at their parents house and they do not contribute financially and only come back to England for holidays to see family.

Hello we truly full time, sold up years ago. A few things great tap connector. There are many outlets now for Lpg outlets. Obviously many more in Europe. As for true fulltime insurance, the only company that supplies this is Comfort insurance. They will pay up if a claim is made. We have refillable gas plus 700 watts of solar, 2x 135 amps of lithium batteries and a b to b. A victron 1600 watt inverter /charger.

@UrbanVanlife 11 часов назад

700 watts of solar 😀 we are thinking of changing our panels out as there are better ones on the market since we fitted ours! On the lpg we had had a few places we used to go to stop selling it and when we where down south there was a similar issue but we did find somewhere eventually, but we have heard there’s more in Europe can’t wait to get over there and explore!

Videos like this always skirt around the fact that living in vehicles is something that very likely is going to be completely impossible pretty soon? Maybe looking at the UK wide raft of restrictions currently being introduced, to make overnighting in vehicles more and more difficult, would be far more helpful than endless repetition of things most already know?

My favourite van life Debbie Downers 😂 All teasing aside… it really is a young person’s game. Same “kids” who can drink all night and not be hung over the next day, who can sleep on floors and wake up fully ambulatory. The solution isn’t van life but safe actually affordable housing. The baby boomer generation is dying out, this is why corporations are buying up all the housing to keep artificially high rents and mortgages high! The baby boomers were a massive generation in terms of population size, all subsequent generations combined do not equal the number of baby boomers. The reality is if governments banned corporate massive buying up of housing house prices would fall to well under 100k

I'm thinking of getting a jackery explorer 1000 to replace the old lead acid leisure batteries in my new to me Autosleeper Sussex campervan, is the jackery suitable for the kettle and will it run the 12v systems on board sufficiently? Obviously I'll have it charging via the alternator whilst driving and might consider investing in some solar panels etc. Thanks in advance. Kind regards, John.

Vans suffer huge depreciation against the cost of renewing. Whereby houses go up in value.! When you get old you tend to become unwell or need to recover from illness...you can become a little scuppered in a van... What happens if some idiot runs into your van, would you be able to get back into rental property.

@UrbanVanlife День назад

Yes vans need a lot of maintenance and we are both fairly hands on with that, we had a long discussion before stepping into this way of life and we both still work so can afford to move into another property if the worst happens, but that’s not what we want for now and it was actually illness’s that helped in part for us to make the leap as well as the landlord, life is short and we decided we needed to live for us now while we can!

Nope totally agree when I first moved in my van now nearly two years. I’d nothing like the glamorous Instagram everyone shows. Just wish I can work remotely instead of stuck in a factory that’s the toughest part for me and my whippets 😢 agree I can barely have my doors open because of people, like the lamp :)

@UrbanVanlife 10 часов назад

We are lucky we can work remotely as we have had a week where we where in one place for longer than we would like and we both didn’t like it, like a pair of over grown kids 😆

Not too easy for dental treatment or doctors unless you're registered?

@UrbanVanlife День назад

We have a family’s address we use and also stay there when we visit back to Liverpool and have some of our things there as well . You also need it for banks and things like that and . Which is kind of a pain but it is what it is

@boggiesworld990 День назад

@@UrbanVanlife is it same for van insurance or do they have policies for full timers? Sorry for questions but they don't usually address these issues especially when full time.

We have a house and can't get in the doctors or DENTIST 😂 Been on a waiting list since covid as our registered one closed down. 😱

Is it true That a lot of van lifers like stopping in dogging sites.

Bit of a strange thing to ask, again we can’t speak for other people but it’s not something we are interested in and if we came across one we would move.

My expensive storage unit is a drag, I could have bought the junk 10 times over, but when Im cluttered up, it easier in the mind to store it, but really the biggest stupid waste paying it. If I could convince my unconscious mind to get in agreement with the hoardy heart, lol, I would dump it. Not there yet, just forgive myself till I am there.

@UrbanVanlife День назад

We are on a list for something cheaper and a little bit smaller but it’s a waiting game but like you we have horders hearts 😂😂😂

How much battery power do you have ... Sorry.

@SuperFredc День назад

Yes, coming into the shorter days, using a TV/Laptop, Kettle and lights, seems a great question. Also, during the winter months with less solar i guess you spend more time in the van also, due to weather and shorter days.

@UrbanVanlife День назад

We have a 560 amp hour lithium battery from fogstar and 2 x 180 solar panels, but we are thinking of upgrading our solar panels as there are better on the market now to when we installed them, but we have t struggled for power so far, but time will tell with the longer nights😊
