Re the first comment about 2 inches of your seat maybe the meaning why does the seat go past the wall and not pushed to the corner so is straight .That would give you a little 1:31 1:31 more space to walk or stand at the sink.
I always use my TomTom satnav and have it showing congestions zones on the map and also set my route planner to avoid congestion zones
Recipes using Pepsi might be interesting in your cook book.
Pepsi Marinades or Pepsi Desserts.
Cookbook and visit to the Fens 😊
It’s not a life , it’s an existence, but each to their own
Surely at least some sat navs must warn you ULEZ ahead the thing is you have to be using it though.
Author!! Believe artists in Ireland live tax free seems to be the reason for software companies there.
I live in Dublin and if they brought in a Ulez type charge system, there would be world war 3. I can understand reducing large trucks etc, but motorhomes and vans should be completely exempt. If I lived in London I would move as far away as possible and use public transport if I ever needed to go near the place. It’s bad enough paying road tax, insurance, parking and high fuel costs. Londoners really should just refuse to pay these charges. If enough people stopped paying they wouldn’t be able to do anything. We had a similar thing here with Tollbooth free Toll charges when first introduced and a lot of people got off paying huge fines as there was just so many people forgetting to pay or not paying in time.
I think for me, I've always travelled any stayed in cheap Travel Lodges and Premier Inns. I've thought about kitting out an MPV or similar. However, harder to do if you have partner and kids. Also, as old age sets in and especially if you need the toilet more, it's much more of a problem. But the freedom is fantastic.
Oooohhhh air fryer cooking please Darren xx
New Book,,,,,,, A WING BOOK or CHICKEN WING BOOK 😂😂😂 take.
Hi Darren
If you have a Euro 6 engine does this mean you don't pay congestion charge?
Thanks for a great channel
Andy
Bloody CAZs. I got caught 3 times and my family member decided to open the mail a couple of weeks late so I got well and truly shafted.
I've since reregistered the vehicle at another address and asked them to open EVERYTHING as soon as it arrives and send me a photo.
How do you keep your fresh water tank topped up?
There are no benefits of working in Swindon if you’ve ever been ha ha
How much fishing tackle do you carry about with you?
motorhome monthly 👍
Loving the videos. Thanks for sharing. About the cookbook how many ways can you cook chicken wings. 😂😂. All the best and looking forward to seeing your next video 👍
I just want to say a massive thank you for all your contents to your YouTube videos which a fantastic and also funny😂 however I do have a question for you as it is the subject what advice would you give for a upcoming person who wants to explore the van life and what made you choose this type of lifestyle as it is something that I do want to look into as there a guy in a vw crafter who i watch as well on YouTube as both 9f your lifestyle is something that i want and whats plans do u have for 2025
The good things about camper vans and motor homes are loan companies are usually very happy to lend on them with a low deposit and low interest rate because of their low depreciation and insurance companies assume your not going to rally them on the highways!!😅
One wonders if fines of £500 and £1000 are actually legal as they seem totally unreasonable!!
Can not stop looking at the head rest not been level now you said it.
You're never gonna get Pepsi sponsorship.
.
You promote & advertise it regularly anyway…..😂
Great vlog 👍🏻 👌 👏
SIM cards: I am full time in my micro camper and work full time on line. This means I live stream HD video 8:00am to 5:00pm mon to Friday (I’m a maths teacher), and have a great signal with EE – not the cheapest but very reliable.
Definitely a cookbook and it would be fantastic if you could do a roast meal

Hello. On Q ‘s of you. Who is your insurer and do they know you live in your Motorhome full time. s many limit to 3 months
🇬🇧🏴🙏❤️👍🍗🍔🌭
When are you going to take you're van on a tour of Europe's brothels?…Or is that one of your "off camera" activities?…
It would be great to get your book, BUT, if you don't live in the UK, you're STUFFED!!
Daz, when I get there (UK) we are sitting down and organising a "Tag-along Tour".
I think they meant regarding the seat you've got the wall then a white strip then the seat I don't think not the headrest ?
Enjoy videos,would love to see a tour of the USA.
I’m diabetic same Darren pepsi max all the way
What I would really like to know is how can someone live permanatly in a motorhome. I mean you have to have a residentail address for your drivers licence and most insurance companies require a home address and they ask where it is kept overnight and during the day. Could you please expain this to me? I have asked different people many times and never got an answer. It is something that I would be interested in doing but simply don't know how
If you look back to Darren’s video :-(Full time Vanlife without an address !-DVLA,Doctors,Dentist,Parcels & more – EcoFlow Delta 2. 65,504 views 2 yr ago #livinginAmotorhome) …. Let’s you know all about address & getting mail etc…
