We live in a bungalow with mainly tiled flooring and the robot hover is brilliant, goes round everyday and keeps the tumbleweed at bay would not be wot out ours. Love your rants, so much like myself.

If the bird doesn't get out of the habit when you're away in the van, keep a primed supersoaker by the window and see how good your aim is. At worst it might clean the mirror.

Hey Chris, brilliant thought-provoking and funny podcast/video. It made me chuckle as we are VW transporter owners..... but we are considering buying a base camp 2 caravan ( moss and mud free!!) We kinda want the best of both worlds.... with a lovely daily driver and on some occasions, i.e., probably in the winter months.... a more cosy space. However, Im mindful of the stigma that is attached to caravan owners and i wish they were more trendy rather than beige and brown sheds on wheels for 60.5yr year olds!

...and I really need to clean my caravan (especially the roof and the 2 solar panels installed there) before going out for the first time this year, in a couple of weeks or so. The problem is that it is either sunny followed by rain or windy, or both, so I keep putting it off. Maybe tomorrow. I agree with SOME of your views. We don't often (ever?) camp at Park4Night places but I could imagine on a long out-of season trip to Scotland when it's too late to complete the journey, staying the night somewhere similar but leaving early the next morning to complete the journey. We DO go to some camps for a few weeks (Beadnell in Northumberland is the longest - for a little over 3 weeks) but many of our camps are 2-5 nights on farmers' fields (a five van site or a DA meet or THS) where there need only be a water tap and somewhere to empty the toilet cassette. So otherwise off grid, using gas (Propane) and 12 volt electricity topped up by the solar panels. We OCCASIONALLY use a hook-up but can power ourselves for long enough without, unless in the winter when the solar panels would operate for a shorter period. I have heard of people with new caravans saying they never use the loo or the shower in the van so would always go to a commercial campsite for those facilities. That seems madness to me - why spend £30K PLUS on a van and not use all its facilities? At least you know who else has sat on the loo before, or used the shower! Better than in an hotel, you also know that only YOU have slept in the bed! And if it's the difference between spending £35-50 (I know it's more on some commercial sites) compared to £10-15 "off grid" on a farmer's field, I know which I prefer. We used to put up an awning for a weekend even if arriving late on a Friday and knowing we intended to leave at lunchtime on Sunday but we don't always do that now. Good if you have a child that needs some space out of the wind and rain though! You mentioned them in the video but what do you think of power-banks like the Bluettis? I'm am THINKING of it. Having said all that, you do very decent videos. I liked the Arran weekends, for example.

Loved your rant about your van, don’t worry all vans need ‘fettlin’ for at least 3 months use before you are a little more happy with it, but then the improvements start , Cats, rent free beasties that have at least 4 houses they think they own hate them.

I love the utube video. The best video I've watched. All the truth .. and I love it. Especially the cats statement... I'd just watched some random cat stroll across out grass like he owns it.. and thought exactly the same. Love it 🎉xxx

Hey Chris, so much in there that I agree with, you made me laugh and now I can't wait for the next one. Gotta find out what happens to the shitting Blue tit. Crocs, been hating on them for years still hate the way they look, but they are just so goddam useful, I'm wearing them as we speak!! Keep up the good work

Off grid caravans, they tend to be singletons, possibly moved up from a tent in a park or down from a council flat. They don’t have a car so they cannot shift the van and you can always tell them as they will be walking a mile away with shopping bags, one with 2 4 packs of 1664 lager !

🤔 I think you’re overlooking what other people think about while camping. I know what you mean about other people encroaching on your time/holiday, I don’t like it but I think it’s something that is part of everyday life. I don’t like people, I think you’re the same, had too many bad experiences with people.
How can we fix campsites?
