Building my dream Sprinter Adventure Campervan with a Honda CRF300 Rally in the back.

I'm now almost at the end of a very long journey to own and live in my dream Mercedes Sprinter adventure campervan with a Honda CRF300 Rally motorbike in the back.
The process has taken years and involved first buying and converting two Vauxhall Vivaro's into campervans to build up my finances to pay for the van of my dreams.
There's been many 'spanners in the works' along the way. Some good, some bad, but all were overcome.
This is not an instructional video channel nor a campervan build channel. I don't know what channel it is....OK...it's a midlife crisis channel. Welcome!!

Beautiful tribute to your mum. It’s amazing how we all think our life stories are unique and at the endnin one way or another so many people go through exactly the same things. See you soon in Toulouse!

So sorry for the loss of your mum and thanks for sharing 💜. I am happy to see you again, I enjoy your (feeling for) adventure, your train of thought, 'strange' and funny comments 😀. I know, it takes time to record, edit, and publish your videos, I wanted to let you know it's very much appreciated. Take care!

Great to see you back! I love to watch your videos. You've inspired me to do my CBT and get a 125cc and progress in to the world of motorcycling at the age of 61 - I found your motorbike vlogs so clear and inspiring, loved to see your off-roading dirt biking adventure too. Im so sorry for the loss of your Mum, time heals grief to help you accept and continue to remember the good times and the memories last a lifetime. Take care but remember to keep switching that camera on as we love your vlogs!

It's great to hear I've inspired you and thank you so much for your kind words. I should be uploading regularly now and hopefully I'll get better at it all 😀. Thank you for coming along for the ride.

Great video, The wee thing made me laugh with me being 64 the wee thing is a lot more common than you’d think. Tights haha no, long Johns maybe when out on the bike in winter. I get what you mean re the bike I lost my leg 40 odd yrs ago (motorcycle accident) and still miss it today. No words re mums I lost mine in 2008 still miss her. Looking forward to part 2.

It's great to see you back again... I'm back on a bike myself after a good twenty-odd years or so (125 currently, with my theory booked in a couple of months, then onto the practical test). I'm so sorry to hear about your mum, hope you're doing okay. I lost my mum 3 years ago and miss her like crazy. We used to go out for chips and sit by the chain ferry at Sandbanks in Poole, so I make sure to go and eat my chips there every now and again for old times sake - it's an excuse to get the bike out, too! Doesn't make it any easier, but it's a nice way to remember the fun times together. Keep doing what you're doing, it's great to see your adventures on the bike and in the van. Take care. 👍🏼

Good luck with the theory. Make sure to practice online on the dvla website and maybe get an app on your phone, which really helps. www.safedrivingforlife.info/free-practice-tests/practice-theory-test-for-motorcyclists-1-of-2/?.uk& Thank you for your kind words.

Ah that was unexpected 😢 I'm very sorry for your loss. I got a bit confused over the timeline but looking forward to how you progress from here. Have my MOD1 in a couple of weeks, one step closer as you so poetically described , but I vaguely remember that feeling 😂 getting a full license can't come soon enough. Van life isn't my thing but I totally get the new start you're embarking on 😎

Good luck with the MOD1. Just remember to take a breath between each exercise and you'll smash it 👍
