24 Hour Truck Stop Camping - Europes Largest

[@arkantos1571]

As a lorry driver myself I can confirm that lorry drivers will look at/watch anything that stands out or just makes a change from the road in front and other trucks. It's like when you walk past a field of cows and they just stand and watch til you're out of sight 😆

It does look like a nice camper. Are there any easy ways to attach solar panels?

Yeah, I think Andy might have gotten you a few new clients. :)

Your videos show a wonderful sense of adventure in a time where choreographed vacations are the norm. Don’t apologize as so many of us are vicariously camping with you.

[@teresarose731]

Loved this. Still amazes me they can park so close. Daddy was a trucker for years when I was young. He could turn it on a dime. Then he was an underground coal miner for years. He’s 85 now and still going strong. Kentucky USA

I had to hire a driver to bring a giant refuse bin- he backed that thing up through two brick posts on a narrow drive with ZERO issue. They sent another guy to pick it up- nope- he sent back the one who knew where every inch was for safety! Incredible.

[@paulwright6386]

As a truck driver myself, I know that most drivers who carry pedal cycles use them for exercise. It’s no fun being cooped up in a lorry cab.

I am in Florida right now. It is about 903 at night and I’m in the Tampa area so we’re dealing with a pretty heavy hurricane. Thank you for posting and given me something to watch to calm my nerves. We are absolutely scared right now so y’all keep your fingers crossed for us.

[@sharonstevens8709]

I'm in Georgia, just south of Atlanta Motor Speedway, and we're getting so many Hurricane Milton evacuees at the campground there. This one looks really bad. I'm up watching the hurricane coverage and praying for the best, praying for those who couldn't leave to be safe and praying that those who evacuated have homes still standing to return home to. Hang in there, guys and stay safe. Blessings!

The great thing about your channel is that you're never afraid to try something different, and not just stick to the tired and tested stuff. You've come a far way from bushcraft and camping, to weird tents, cooking, your ali express metal box side quest 😂, to camping in London roof tops and truck stops. It never fails to make me happy though. That reminds me.. are you gonna try making your own tent again?

[@TheKingdomIsComing]

I'm a truck driver from America. Very interesting seeing how your trucks look over there. Awesome video

[@cogboy302]

In the UK and Europe, most countries have overall length regulations for HGVs. That's why most of the tractor units are Cabovers and only have a single drive axle, to keep them compact, so the trailer can be as long as possible. You mostly only see long nose trucks with twin drive axles in heavy haulage and Recovery trucks.

[@Dazzzzzzzzzzzzz]

I loved this vid. I’ve never seen you smile and chuckle so much in a video and i been here since” long hair Andy”

[@SheriGudorf]

Andy, I am not a truck driver, but I do enjoy road trips, and I can tell you that the truck stop in your video is Much nicer than any I have ever seen in the United States. Yours looked so clean! 💜

[@saraw112]

I love ALL your videos Andy!! Here’s another idea… come to Washington state… REI is a big outdoor equipment company in our area… they might like to sponsor your trip. It’s a beautiful area (ocean, mountains and lots of camping) you could go to other states too! The Oregon coast is gorgeous… anyway, just an idea to cut expenses and see another part of the world. 😊

[@phillully4472]

Andy, I recall that roof top camping episode it was a good video I liked it a lot. I know for you as a KZbin content creator ya have reach out for the new and unusual stuff no one else is showing. That's what makes your channel unique and interesting to watch. Keep up the creative work and take care Andy.

[@cortoolei-pearson7702]

We all know each other because we all run the same routes and keep bumping into each other. I do a small, discreet truck and know all the polish guys doing the same here in mainland Europe, it's a small village to be honest and we all get your stuff to you on time, big or small rigs. It's a whole other culture, someone should document one day. Always have the time for a supportive word for the Ukrainian lads, yep, they're still working and leaving home with all those worries, fair play to them and all the best to them.

[@weerwolfproductions]

In The Netherlands there's an annual celebration of Trucker life called the Truckstar Festival, it's on the motor racing circuit (TT circuit) next to the town of Assen. I grew up around long-haul truckers and can confirm it's a way of life and close-knit community :-). This is this year's aftermovie: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmfckntperCGgJI

That camper looks so sharp! You could use one for a coast trip for a week and release daily videos of your progress and findings!

[@jeanpearce8160]

Mmm interesting video.That truck stop was HUGE.Loved the 'new look'- baseball cap & red check shirt😆.

[@Kw1161]

Thanks Andy for another most-excellent video, I used to eat at TTT truck stop in Tucson, Arizona after work on the swing shift all the time since hardly any decent restaurant was open. The state troopers used to eat about the same time as well as the myriad of truckers…miss those times. Have a great day!

Great video Andy, that is definitely a camper to stand out in. You have got me in the mood now for a road trip, something I might need to plan for the new year. All the best, Brian. Oh and before I forget, my sauces arrived the other day, and may I say they’re fantastic, very tasty.

I don’t know about the weirdest…… the London rooftop was wild, but the plastic dome taped together and the cardboard shelter are probably right at the top. Oh wait I forgot the overnight in the wrecked ambulance or sleeping in a log! You actually have a bunch of odd fun ones don’t you?

I do thoroughly enjoy you videos, always learning something new. I do confess however, I miss the old "full on bushcraft", building your shelter with raw materials and campfire innovations. I know you have a cabin build in the works, but I sure would love to see you go back to nature, as it were, again. Keep safe, and enjoy life.

[@JeffWeymier]

We do this a lot when traveling here in the states. It saves money on the expensive hotel rooms. If you want to see a crazy truck stop look up Bucee's here in the states. They are insane.

Buccees is definitely not a truck stop trucks aren't allowed there

[@JeffWeymier]

@@bensmith4563 I apologize for that horrible mistake. I think I typed that response while he was coming out with his food and that reminded me of my experience there. Maybe the fact that he was in a van added to my misleading statement. I’ll be sure to be more careful and absolutely precise when I offer a comment. You know the one time I was there I really never paid attention and looked around to see if there were trucks there or not. My mistake.

[@IvanDP1967]

Great video Andy, definitely different. One of the reasons it could have been so busy is because French law prohibits HGV's from being on the road on Sundays.

[@AwkwardHistory]

One of my brothers works for a transportation company dispatching drivers to their destinations. Drivers often meet others at the main business office as they do have to come in occasionally. But the rest mostly recognize other drivers by their rigs. It’s like if you sat by someone on a train and you both had on Man U (or other favorite team) jerseys. Plus drivers switch companies over time but still remain cordial. And Dude, I am so tired of streaming movies with differences in download speeds and spotty coverage, plus the way that sound mixed for movies get jacked up when adjusted for television, etc. I was too lazy to toss my movies and music CDs and now my laziness has paid off because I don’t have to rebuy and rebuild. This was fun to watch. Thanks. 😊

[@thrdai]

I love just down the road from the Iowa 80 truck stop, and it's friggin HUGE.

[@mendyviola]

My favorite places to stop on multi-day cross country trips in the US are larger truck stops. The bathrooms are always well kept, and they have a good variety of food, including healthy options. Many now have overnight RV/car spaces available that keeps truck spaces open for their use. Truckers have federally mandated rest periods, so their spaces shouldn’t be used by non-commercial vehicles.
