YouTube vanlife drama

I’ve just got home from work, can’t wait to donate to quite a few of them.
Absolutely.
Just paid my mortgage that’s recently doubled .Sorted the gas and electricity out that’s recently tripled and next I’ve got to do my Super thanks to the Travel Trolls .
 
On the outside it all seems very innocent .
Dig a bit deeper and you will uncover some really disturbing facts .
Do you know what a YouTube “ super thanks “ is ?
Basically this is where subscribers can donate money to their favourite channels in return for a “ shout out “ on the next video .
One of the guys who donates almost daily to the Travel Trolls has his own channel and the poor bloke has clearly got serious mental health problems . It’s sickening to see them continuing to take money from this clearly vulnerable man .
There is no regulation. I think it’s absolutely disgusting.
I certainly won’t be wishing these scrounging dossers any luck .
When I first started watching these YouTube things I thought the travel trolls were two retarded people who didn't know any different, but as time went on I realised they weren't as daft as they looked and were actually making money out of people who really are retarded.
 
I think your right, I seen them signing autographs at the NEC show. I think they have a desire for what they perceive as celebrity status. They market themselves as Motorhome “experts” but yet tend to eat out and live on campsites. Experts to me are those who use their vans for how they were intended, with an understanding of the equipment which makes that possible.
Bob Earnshaw just done a vlog on this years costs ( and 2020&2021)
On it Jenny said this last year they made £16K from YouTube
 
Wow that’s a really good earner.
Yes it is. They did say it hasn’t been that high before but generally increasing each year.

Whilst not the most exciting people and they tend to mostly use club sites they do seem genuine and nice people. Unlike some of the others who can’t have enough of themselves.

Hardly watch most of them now unless if comes up as part of a search for something I’m interested in. Which is how I came across the one today when looking for reviews in a site for Thursday night.

Lol yep it surprised me too.

One comment he made was that making loads of blogs helped I.e. quantity. Which is why it’s increasing year on year.

God he might be able to afford a Cathargo next year 😂😂
 
YT must be reasonably lucrative as Those Happy Days have given the go-ahead to the garage for a recon engine plus ancillaries and fitting costing between £6000 and £7000.

Is this value for money??

There’s nothing wrong with the van . It’s just too cold for them to be “ doing van life “ at the moment . I had a feeling they would pull a stunt like this as soon as we got a cold snap .
 
Actually…. Got me thinking after I put a jokey comment on another thread….

Having bought my newtome van and found a few things need sorting on it which will cost a few bob and of course let’s not forget the additions and improvements I need to do I could do with some extra funds to complete these….

So…. I thought I could make a few videos of me trying to attempt to fix and sort these dilemmas and you lot could pay me and watch them….

Anyone who wants to donate pm me for my bank details….😊

I’m deadly serious…😎

Seems about right for a legit refurb engine, the problem is some refurbishment engines means it's had a coat of paint. This place sounds like a commercial vehicle garage and hopefully have a good reputation. If it were me and had time I'd be looking for one from a low mileage write off. It's very convenient to have the van already at a place where the work can be done so probably not a bad idea to get it done there.

At least they showed going in a shop to by cigarettes rather than hiding the fact. I bet they have seen themselves on the imposter videos. :rofl: :rofl:
He’s doing a good job with those videos . Reminds me of Spitting image 😂. He’s got the voices nailed and the humour is good 👍🏻
 
i skimmed through the last happy days vid, just to find where they say how much its going to cost, then went and put the kettle on, when i got back i heard them say 'please dont send money to us for the engine repair, spend it on the homeless'

now i could go all cynical on them and it would be very easy to do so, but its a public statement from them, so for once (and the first time i think) i will say, well done to Those Happy Days ..... i still think he is a prat and she is being strung along by him though !

Reverse psychology…

Yes they have definitely seen the comments, and I bet they got the free gifts by telling the shop they would be on YouTube
 
It's getting worse and worse, same everyday, videos of doves and wandering around Benidorm. I don't think I'll last till Christmas. 😕
In fact I am quite enjoying these benidorm videos, and they are actually doing what people do in beni, shops ,bars, markets and cafes and then the same again tomorrow.

That’s exactly what it is . Oldest trick In the book and a classic tactic used by YouTube E beggars.
“Please don’t donate anything, we are so nice and generous, please give it to someone else .”
🙄🙄
The travel trolls have said the same thing .

Pure manipulation.
It’s their van , their problem and their bill to pay .
So entitled they feel the need to “ stop everyone “ sending money 🙄

All though it pains me to admit I have just seen the best travel trolls one I think I have ever seen.
First one where she really seems genuine, she has got him a birthday present, and he in fact looked a bit overwhelmed with it.
I might well be wrong as I have been with these things before, but give it a look ,not their usual made up rubbish.
