We share our ferry journey to The Isle of Wight towing our caravan. The traffic on the M25 & M3 was horrendous but we got to Southampton just in time for check in.

Loved this. I have never been to freshwater bay. As there is no bus drive to get there. I have been to isle Wight for the past 35 years. But that was wonderful watching that, will have to try and get there in Summer. Thank you Douglas Family from Midlands

Looks like a nice stay. Great weather too. We took our van ‘abroad’ to the isle this year and loved it. The ferry makes it feel like such an adventure- though it’s so brief there’s barely time to queue up for a coffee! I’ve posted a couple of IOW videos on my channel - just need a second pair of hands to capture all the action! Take care and keep on caravanning!

16:28 we have just booked through CAMC. Called and got the combi deal with Southlands. Ferry on its own with CAMC was £370 and with the combi deal it reduced to £185....you do have to call though, that's the caveat. Always like to see where I'm going when I've got the van on the back so your video was very useful

Love watching your videos. Hoping to upgrade to a caravan in the next year and your tips have been great. I live on the edge of the new forest and i would suggest maybe driving down the day before going to the island and staying on a site in the forest then have a 20/30 min drive into southampton the day you sail. Lots of beautiful sites to spend a day or two. Happy to suggest places if you decide to head this way again xxx

We made the journey with our van via Red Funnel the day after. Red Funnel were a ship missing and tried to send us on our way for an hour. We refused. We're now down the south of the island. Be warned 1. Never mix up 'Portsmouth' and 'Southampton'. Both cities hate each other. 2. For others considering taking their vans over - get a SATNAV which has the dimensions of your drive train in it and steers you away from the very narrow lanes on the island. 3. The route south through Newport to Carisbrooke is currently shut, so go back up Medina Way and take the turning to Yarmouth and down Gunville. 4. A SATNAV will get you to Dock Gate 7 easily. IOW is a superb place. We are about six miles south of the Carefree lot on the 'back of the island'.

They were lucky the ferry was running on time - as someone who has lived on the beautiful Isle of Wight all my life, I can tell you for a fact that these days the reliability of the boats is pretty poor alot of the time. Only this week there has been masses of cancellations & holdups for hours on end for people using it - it's simply becoming more & more regular now than ever before I'm afraid. A gorgeous place to visit, and in my case live, but it can be a real pain getting over & back when the ferry service is so poor alot of the time, especially considering the amount of money they charge people too.

Yeah being a Islander myself, I find that the ferries have only one agenda and that is to make themselves rich and know that they are holding the Island people to ransom by their insistent unreliability in their service. They are and always have been a pain in the Island’s arse.

Yep it's been a nightmare on & off for the last couple of weeks especially now - even today there's been reports of lots of hold ups etc. My brother had been away & was coming back on Friday - he was booked on the 5pm boat and that got cancelled. He subsequently didn't leave Southampton until almost 9pm! Considering they charge people so much money, the service they offer should be much more on the ball IMHO.

If you are members of the camping and caravan club, you can get 50% off the ferry fare, but only with wightlink.

Hi Charles, The car is a Kia Sorento 2.2 CRDi, we got it in October last year. It’s a brilliant tow car 👍🏻 Many thanks for watching, sending our best wishes to you, Keith & Michele.

Hi Ashley, That’s very disappointing to hear 🤨 Obviously good for tourists but not islanders 🙁 We absolutely love your island! We’ll definitely be returning! Thanks for watching, sending our best wishes, Keith & Michele.

Hope you're not bringing Covid to the Island but enjoy. There are lifts instead of using stairs. Isle of Wight is mainland UK.

Hi Suzie, Just to reassure you, we’re both double jabbed, tested before travel, kept socially distanced, regularly washed hands & sanitised, wore face masks indoors. Also, we did say there are lifts available for anyone unable to use the stairs & the island is part of the UK, to us it just felt like going abroad because of getting the ferry 😀 Many thanks for watching, sending our best wishes, Keith & Michele.

Suzie Peresz! That’s just rude! Why would you say such a thing! Maybe you should check to see if you have covid! Keith and Michelle did! Some people are just naturally vile😩😩😩

@Suzie Peresz That comment did come across as a little rude. But text has no emotion. So if you weren't being rude then maybe use a smiley emoji at the end. From a fellow islander. 😁
