In one of the travel trolls things, maybe a couple of years ago, a kid comes up to them to give them some sweets and they more or less just ignored him.

I think it’s only people that actually like what they (the you tubers) post that donate/buy a coffee or buy the merchandise, so they can carry on posting what the people who donate want to keep watching,
I think a lot of people diss a lot of them without actually spending a little time talking to them. I’ve spent a bit of time with the radfords, John and Mandy, the urban motorhome (Darran) and Jon and tash from life beyond bricks and they are ALL really really nice people!!
I’ve bought a couple of hoodies off the radfords and t shirts off Darran and are all good quality, and I’ve been waiting for “Tread the Globe” to visit Deadwood so I can order some stickers just for the envelope franked from Deadwood, but alas I was a few days out (Bloody Polarsteps) and got it from rapid city instead
Yes I know I’m sad
As for those happy days, does he ever shut up, he’s full on but hey ho they must have their audience, it wouldn’t be the same if we all liked the same stuff
Edit I did go to a “Vanlife” event in the Carthago and was blanked by everyone
But none of the above was in attendance except a solo Mandy, and her and Val had a right old natter

That doesn’t surprise me in the slightest.
I think this pair have a bit behind them somewhere, they have a house in Spain and we're looking to buy in Portugal not long ago, as much as YouTube pays I don't think it would run to that.

Never watched a video of theirs?? It's all gone wrong because their dif gave up the ghost,,took four weeks to get a replacement axle,,First bit of disaster I have seen in a couple of years.I would have been miserable..Usually a happy positive couple with a couple of lovely dogs,,Think we have a traveller or two on here who are far from positive..BUSBY,,

Think the house in Spain cost them very little.They travelled the world for a few years working and saving..They were looking for a bit of cheap land in Portugal not a property.BUSBY.
Even so it's worth more than an old furniture van.

It’s all very predictable. They will end up staying in a hotel if any really cold weather kicks in .I’ve seen in all before with these YouTubers . As soon as the weather gets extremely hot or cold they are straight back to bricks and motor and heating/ air conditioning.
It’s all fake Vanlife anyway . They want viewers to think they wild camped in London but just went to a CAMC overpriced campsite.
I hope they make enough money to buy him a new hat this month, that thing is getting ridiculous now

They finally did it !
They managed to camp in London City ! Absolutely epic
In reality they stayed at CAMC Abbey wood
One of their latest Instagram posts was complaining about hearing rain on the roof ..mainly their skylights.
It was titled, " why you shouldn't fit a skylight "

They both drive me nuts , I can't watch them on YouTube. But we follow each other on Instagram
They are out and out touting second hand motorhomes for a dealer in their new one.

They'll be giving up come march . A British winter in that van will finish them off
These two ladies https://www.youtube.com/@Vanwives seem to be doing very well. I first saw them travelling round in their campervan in the pre-covid days.
Since then they have bought an abandoned cabin in canada and now appear to either have discovered a magic money tree or they are getting a lot of items given to them (in return for featuring them on the videos). Have a look at the solar panels they have just installed, they must be worth a few dollars
As well as the income from youtube ads, they have sponsors for every video. Someone is working hard to line up these deals and also produce videos every week

well as if!They are click bait though aren’t they, nearly every one of their blogs have them with not much on….
they do live next to a lake.
i agree 100% with that. They have done outstandingly well to build a large enough following and have enough business sense to put themselves in a great position. Their videos are very well produced which helps with the popularity and they have a go at almost every job themselves.
Is it really only the two of them or do they have a complete TV crew and builders who jump in when the cameras are off?
Waded through six pages on this post and it seems that I haven't missed much.
However I do like the Slaws.
At least I know the ones to maybe avoid....

What got me about this was the amount of planning and research they had done! Not! They suddenly found themselves on the Woolwich Ferry and wondered where they were going!
