Motorhoming YouTubers worth watching.

Your right about tastes I just slit my throat watching that….
What gets me is what do most of these people do for money, I’m pretty sure most are on some kind of benefits back in the uk…

Getting back to what the OP asked, I don’t mind why people make the videos, or if they are on benefits (which I seriously doubt). I think it is up to you whether you watch something or not on YouTube and clearly some people on here do and enjoy it.

Well, if you want some 'clickbait free' YouTube motorhome travels without any 'annoying' dialogue you can always try the somewhat limited offerings of my own travels, the link to which is in my signature. I certainly don't get paid by anyone for it. All I get is is a load of verbal from my OH about the time I spend doing it.

I'm not exactly a Rudolph Valentino lookalike though and hopefully the music is a bit better than a honky-tonk piano.
We like to watch Alan to see him doing everything wrong and have some fun laughing at his outrageous opinions where he is probably in a 1% minority.
Touring With The Kids

Love Campervibe and Kingingit too! Also The Slaws Adventures and St Christopher of AtlantisCamper Vibe are well put together videos and are pleasant girls, have a good story to tell and don't want to be influencers.
I used to enjoy overland Sophia and tread the globe but got a bit tired of both tbh, but you can't knock the spirit of adventure for either, amazing where they've both got to.
Edit, just reminded, Also love kinging it

The thing is there are so many of them now, everyone with a DJI camera is churning stuff out.
The latest ones to pop up on my feed are Northerners on Tour, definitely not everyone's taste, they're down to earth, have very little to say of any interest, she's quite gobby, he just grunts. Very little of a tourist or scenic value and always a click bait thumbnail.
Sometimes I'm tempted to look in for cringe value though.

Agree with the slaws, they are quite entertaining and watchable, also not sure if mentioned but reds on travel are OK, very down to earth without trying to be click baitey.

Still love watching Chrome Valdez from Vancity Vanlife, bit goofy at times but he’s very good in front of the camera

The ones I watch are: Campervibe, Kingin it, Touring with the kids, ex-pawers, Tread the Globe. The ones to avoid are The Radfords and The Rucks, all they are interested i. Is telling everyone how wonderful they are to have superdooper MH’s and how much they are!!!!
Yes I watch these occasionally, as they have been to much the same places we have been, but they say a lot of things that you know just aren't true when you have been there, but it passes half an hour.
Those happy days have just gone beyond a joke now, when they had their first van they had to sell it as it was giving him mental problems and couldn't sleep because the bed wasn't big enough.
So what are they doing now? They are going to live in the back of a car

I think a 5yr cycle is coming around. Having watched a few on and off over the past 5yrs, it seems those in general who started earlier are either stopping or now changing direction with there channels. They to have got bored with what they are ( have been doing). Or have run out of steam. After all, what we humans do is eat, drink, sleep, repeat and then find something to do inbetween ( and thats often a repeat). Then we get bored of watching the same old stuff, unless you like Corrie or EastEnders, then you really do like repeats.
Still you can always watch our channel, guarantee no adverts, no dramas, not good at click bait, and I don't get very excited and we have no money ( well just our pensions). Enjoy

Campervibe are my top watch, met them and the lovely AJ in Portugal. Haven't seen Adzventures mentioned, he's young and a bit of a nob but when you get past that and he's not doing another supermarket stealth camp he can be entertaining, built quite a nice van and up in the Arctic. Those Happy Days were on a site I was at, hard to miss in their removal van, it broke down when they left and I got talking to the people they had been parked up with, they said he doesn't listen to anyone and had little sympathy for his second engine failure! IndieProjects were vanlifers but now have 2 nice places in Portugal and I still see what they are up to.

Agree re Campervibe. I've not seen any of Adzventures for a while. I used to subscribe, but don't now.
I also unsubscribed from THD some time ago. But I did watch the Camper Car episode after a family member told me about it! We said that considering they sold the pre-Morgan van due to his back issues, it seems nuts buying a car to camp in. Actually the Berlingo makes a very good micro camper base, but I can't see how they're really going to be living in it full-time. I suspect summer travels, with long stints away overseas (esp. in winter).
The various layouts are quite clever, but one thing I'd hate is - no loo. Even my tiny Romahome R10 had a loo in a dedicated and easily accessible place. No loo is not great when you're off grid camping. Also, as someone who has actually owned a micro camper (Romahome R10 is based on a Citroen Nemo van which is the next size down from the Berlingo) the novelty of having to move things constantly in order to do or reach something else gets a bit wearing, and doing it all inside the van with all the doors closed when the weather is pants is awkward. But that WILL be the reality. Lounging around outside and cooking outside in cold/wet weather isn't what happens in real life with small vans/cars.
A couple of pictures of my R10, in case anyone's interested:
Wow, I had a Citroën nemo just to fit my two large dogs in!
Well, after These Happy Days raffled off Morgan (their removals van MH conversion) and bought a micro camper (odd choice given that they sold a much bigger van before Morgan because he has back issues) which they then sold on within a few months, they then bought a Westfalia Club Joker. A beautiful (and very expensive) van which they raved about. I stopped subscribing to them ages ago, but I went to see how they were getting on with the Westfalia, only to find that only a month after buying it, 'it has gone'. Now the fact they are YouTubers doesn't mean everyone has any right to know all their private business, but I do wonder why they keep making such weird van buying decisions. And surely they must research what they need, before doing so. Their name seems something of a misnomer, since they rarely seem to be very happy at all. Their best times seemed to be while they were travelling van-less...
golly

I don't follow many, but one that I do are True Blue Travellers . They built some interesting campers and have a different approach to their videos.
I haven't really watched that many but what I have watched are somewhat amateurish....and the moreso the better from an enjoyment point of view.....but what many seem to be doing is 'making memories'. When the did that actually become something to say...almost like they fail to appreciate the here and now but have some video and photos to look back on.

I don't watch them anymore, but did catch a bit of where they were buying this latest one, why have they sold this one and what have they got now?
Steps 2 Adventure. A nice young happy couple enjoying life travelling and you get to see the scenery not just them.
I saw Morgan on a site I was staying on when they still had it, they were 'circled' with three or 4 other vans for the weekend and then left before their friends, this is when the engine blew up for the second time on their way from there. The friends were back the following weekend and as I passed them they wanted to say hello to my puppy Ridgeback, got chatting with them, had just seen the news of the second engine failure and said their mate doesn't have much luck to which they all rolled their eyes and said he never listens to anyone. They try to give him advice but he just blunders ahead with whatever harebrained scheme comes in to his head next it would seem!
Yes I’ve started to watch them, they show warts and all and get excited by the little things….
