Thanks for all of the continued support over the last 6-12 months, without it the channel wouldn’t exist! I’m super excited for what’s to come in 2024 and can’t wait to create some more fun filled adventures 😊

Thank you for sharing your life and adventures with us all ❤😊 you are the one who has inspired me the most to buy and build my own van !! So a month ago I bought a 2014 Ducati H2L3 . Let the fun and games begin 😁. Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you Will and all fellow subscribers ☺️🥳💙

It's true that as a viewer, you can really tell when a content creator is enjoying what they do vs they do it for a job. Viewers aren't dumb and I guess subconsciously you can pick up different tells which changes how the content is viewed. Glad you found your happy spot

Honestly I’ve been a big fan of the new direction of the channel, and it’s been great to see you so passionate about the weird and wacky campers you’ve been showing. Great that you want to take that passion you’ve found into the future new build.

For building the new/old campervan, get in touch with Mel, of big camper small world,. to work with other van builders in a farm building rigged out for van building. You will have the company you crave plus advice and help when needed.

I too love the older campers. Ur new plans sound very exciting & am glad u've found a direction that excites u & makes u happier. I'm looking forward to watching ur videos on the older campers & ur van build videos. I hope u have a lovely Christmas 🎄 & new year 🎉 Take care xx

I’ve been around since the Ford Galaxy, not sure if that says anything, but I’ve been around, wether or not I enjoy the video you made, it’s the person I watch for tbf, just like Steve Wallis, you just have to love the bloke! (Take the comparison as huge compliment)

you are a massive inspiration for all of us with mental health struggles, Will. I personally loved the change of direction. You seemed more happy and at peace with yourself and the vids were fun to watch. The production values from you and your team have been amazing. I'm sure you'll love going away with Neil and emma in the Dougster. When they have finished him you should deffo do a vid on staying in him for the night, For now though, I wish you a very Merry Christmas and an amazing 2024. Much resprect🙏 - Krenny

I'm so glad you're open about mental health and therapy. It's part of your physical health as well. So many people keep it bottled up and it can be detrimental. I have enjoyed your channel for quite awhile now. You're an inspiration!

My English isn't that good, but you'll probably understand what I'm trying to say 😉 I've had a KZfaq channel for 8 years and I understand you completely. In addition to my YT channel, I have four companies and around 40 employees and YT has gone from being a hobby to pure stress for me. Ultimately, it should still be fun and that's why the only right thing to do is to do what you personally like 🤷‍♂️

Watching you build your van was some of my favorite KZfaq content. I can't tell you how hard I laughed at those. But on the other hand, it was great watching you learn how to do all different things in your van. Gives me hope that I can one day live in a van 😂 Your comedy is great, personality is great, and you have a great drive to do the things to make you happy. I'll be watching your content no matter what direction it takes. Lee up the great work man. Merry Christmas and happy new year!

Fair play, too, you will be honest about your mental health us men normally find it difficult to open up about our mental health and as its not the done thing I also struggle with my mental health but now I'm a bit more open with it with the people close to me. It's not a life sentence. I enjoy your video I love the escapism concept. It's got me thinking what i could do with my Citroën C4 picasso as a stealth camper van on a budget and with no experience

Hey Will, Never interacted before, but I've been watching your videos since I bought a knackered old ford transit conversion earlier last year, and I've really enjoyed all the videos I've watched of yours. I really like the idea of you battling with a 40yo camper that's seen better days - the first Renault Trafic models are ones I looked at before getting a transit, they can be fairly cheap to buy, and they're an interesting make with quite few fans out there still. Also, don't be afraid to review similar campers to ones in previous videos - I reckon it'd be interesting to see how they differentiate to each other.

@Plowe02 2 ай бұрын

Mate, thanks for talking about mental health issues! I have huge anxiety problems, purchased a little campervan last and loved it. I went on many mini adventures on my own which was strange at first, like you said “you want to share the moments with someone else” but I got used to it and have many more planned for this year. I’m new to your channel and love it, keep going bud👍🏻

I have been a fan of the van build & the new direction and the times you we out with a group of people and the solo stelth camps and the adventure you went on. Basically i've enjoyed everything you did on your channel this year it was a lot of fun to watch and be a part of. I would like to something live you could try maybe doing some of the van build vidos live this time. But you come first how you are feeling and your mental state always come first always.

As a subscriber from the early days of your channel I am really looking forward to your road trip videos and van build #2! Your advice about social media is the best advice someone can give; I disconnected from all social media years ago and I lost nothing, but gained a lot of time that I can use for better things. Merry Christmas to you and your family from Bavaria!

go full grand designs on your content with viewer polls for an annual competition that judges campers in different classes like "money no object", "rental", "nomad", "permanent homes", "family home", "loner", "low budget", "retro". Alongside that take all the best bits and incorporate them into your next build like George Clark. Thanks for shouting out mental health.
