I do love your Vlogs, ive followed you now for a few years and your one of the few i get excited about seeing what your up to! How the Kids have changed is lovely, and nice to see, all 3 have their own personality and they always make me smile. I know you have the campervan channel but tbh its not for me, i like the Family side of it, im looking forward to seeing you when you next vlog at that meetup ive forgotten you said about ? Im like a Goldfish 2 second Memory! But i do love seeing your Vlogs, so until next time take care one and all x

[@TheRollingRucks]

Thank you for such a lush comment really appreciate it so much and so lovely to hear you are enjoying the videos xxx

[@nickhoward9343]

Thank you

[@TheRollingRucks]

Thank you too x

[@zoe92sfc]

Great vlog once again....do you still have your dog?

[@bindatek8801]

I hope you took that sun cream back to the shop!!! I have spoken to several people with really big vans, and was once offered an American Coach type Camper, it had just 16k on the clock, for a song....To be honest, there are not so many sites that will even let you through the gates. Others will charge you for two sites. This is something that many do not consider, and there is an alternative fortunately. Lidl and many other Supermarkets will give you a free park for the night, you just have to do a shop for more than a specified amount. In UK too, there are a few supermarkets who will offer you a one night stop.

[@TheRollingRucks]

Thank you for the awesome tips! Appreciate it and yeah suncream what a shocker now I’m unsure what to buy next x

[@cherylsimpson6816]

Great video! Been wondering, where is your dog? 🤔 You got a puppy a while back but haven't seen it for ages 😀

[@andrewhilton4243]

Great vlog 👍🏻 we just bought a 9mtr ! Moved up from 8 ,,, we are thinking the same - need to plan out trips now 😅

[@TheRollingRucks]

For the best part we haven’t but aware that some places are very tight and we have been caught out x

[@pete.goes.roaming]

How have you possibly been to Bruges several times and never been to Markt/market square? It's literally the main bit! The bell tower, the Christmas market etc. I'm actually gobsmacked! lol But anyway, glad your face is better! Love your vids, and the van conversions. 😊

[@michwinspear6005]

I knew it was the sunlotion after the last video, it's the amount of chemicals they have to put in it. Try a natural sun lotion like green people's, yes it's a bit more expensive but definitely worth it

[@TheRollingRucks]

Madness isn’t it? I’m seriously contemplating not using any again now but what do you do? Xx

[@StephenOwen-yi5rx]

Hi rucks thoroughly enjoyed your vlogs I was just wandering if you still have your dog 🐶 ❤

[@timdaniel5395]

Interesting as usual ... makes a pleasant change from the Radford's interminable tours of Lidl and McDonalds !!

[@AlexBarclay-uu6bb]

I’ve followed for a few years now you guys must be richer now than the Bragfords.

[@TheRollingRucks]

We’re definitely not rich just stupid 😂

[@Simon_PieMan]

Great video. Have enjoyed following your summer hols.

[@TheRollingRucks]

Thank you so much xx

[@debdavet-cornwallandbeyond1649]

Nice video guys. Glad you've had a great trip. We love Bruges and always try and stop on route to the tunnel and stayed there for Christmas last year, which was brilliant. Beautiful chocolate and Zot is one of Dave's favourite beers.

[@TheRollingRucks]

Lush so lovely you enjoy it too and that beer is yummy xx

[@scottbroughton1906]

Hi guy's thanks for the trip..Char..I saw you bank holiday in Hereford..I spotted Dex on his scooter as I was feet away from you and I'm so sorry not saying hello but I was gobsmacked for see you.Anyway nice to Stu doing the driving in this massive home on wheels...Thanks for the video team Rucks...

[@TheRollingRucks]

Ahh lush you could always say hello we so usually speak to everyone at these events so pleased you enjoy the videos xx

[@HeidiPriest]

😂 I would ask the large Van what app the use for the spots

[@TheRollingRucks]

I was totally tempted haha x

[@christinespiers3947]

Another great vlog of your holidays xx

[@TheRollingRucks]

Thank you for your kindness xx

[@TristandKez]

Great video, Bruge looks amazing. Have a great Sunday guys 🤗

[@TheRollingRucks]

Thank you and hope you enjoyed yours also x

[@TristandKez]

@@TheRollingRucks our Sunday was sat in the woods in Scotland 🤗.

[@ahogpropertysolutions2979]

I would guess that while parked up you wouldnt use as much power on everything else therefore the aircon would run at some sort of 'idle' speed and require less voltage? pure guess though, I have absolutely no technical knowledge on it so please dont listen to a word i say!!!!! Looks lovely there, would love to visit that area of the world

[@TheRollingRucks]

Thank you appreciate the info x

[@denisecafferky2248]

Glad your face is better. Bruges looks beautiful

[@TheRollingRucks]

Thank you very kind of you to say x

[@alvaroodeh4794]

Brugges is sick, been earlier this year and might go again next month, peaceful and rich in architecture

[@TheRollingRucks]

So beautiful isn’t it x

[@paulalexander4211]

Nice Vlog , do you still have your dog and cat?

[@TheRollingRucks]

Thank you, have you kissed some episodes? The cat is with a friend of ours due to him getting attacked everywhere we went x

[@robertducie7242]

Don’t go to turkey. Radfords had problems getting pitches

[@TheRollingRucks]

We are flying x

[@rvrebel2209]

Hello. You were saying about other big Motorhomes , where do they go ??? I would have to said that they go to one or two places and park for their stay. As a 6 wheel 5 ton. Motorhome owner. I always remember that it’s 5 tonnes (. So wet grass is a no no !! ). As for places to stay. Try just looking at Map and put in campsites. That way you should find farms , as well Wish You Well.

[@TrishasMotorhomeMadness]

Hi hun ours is 9 meters and we don’t plan anything either we’re terrible we just last minute it all and use park for nights and search for sites and if we’re unsure we goggle maps street view to see how big the car park is

[@TheRollingRucks]

Thank you appreciate it xx

[@johnoshea628]

Soft start on the air con ? Like most things the surge would be on start up , Maybe the logic board on the truma detects low amps & works accordingly.

[@TheRollingRucks]

Thank you for the info xx

[@SightsWithSteve]

It’s true that Charl, I’ve been doing it a year now but because I fly the drone I like to do videos well in advance. So I have videos filmed and edited/uploaded up until May. I’m only now just getting used to pointing a camera at myself ect, it’s harder than it looks.

[@TheRollingRucks]

Steve sure you are better than you think and yeah it does take time to get used to it but no doubt you’re fab x

[@SightsWithSteve]

@@TheRollingRucks im sure getting there, I can’t wait to see what the children produce 😁

[@paulisrael3618]

Love your videos, just back from the Netherlands went to an amazing site with a theme park and water park called Duinrell. Our 7m Rimor evo77 plus looked like a pimple. Could have parked two length ways in our pich!

[@The4manxies]

'Extreme Motorhoming Adventures' have a huge Cathargo and go all around Europe and into the Mountains - it's a very energetic couple, no kids. 'Roaming Radfords' have a huge MH and have been all round Europe, Turkey etc with older kids - more sedate touristy locations and they've had issues with the size of their van. Maybe they could help with advice?

[@TheRollingRucks]

Thank you yes we know them and are all lively xx

[@Happyinmyautotrail]

Hi both. Did I imagine it or did you get a puppy?

[@christinewood3193]

The vlogs are most likely behind and it's probably before kids return to school

[@Happyinmyautotrail]

@@christinewood3193 yep absolutely but the puppy was a while back now when they got the house. Has the puppy been rehomed :(

[@vales_n_dales8174]

No you didn’t imagine it

[@Twinklesnana]

She was a little beauty called Bella but I think they said she’s gone to a nice couple up north so maybe it didn’t quite work out.

[@TheRollingRucks]

We did have a beautiful golden retriever Bella, we haven’t talked about it as it upsets us but we did have to let her go to another beautiful home. She had terrible travel sickness and we tried for a couple of months to remedy this for her but to no avail, she would violently vomit and diarrhoea every time we travelled which for us is a lot and we didn’t wish to keep putting her in a kennel every time we travelled it wasn’t fair on her. Hope this explains x

[@Jay-cr1xv]

The Truma Aventa Comfort takes 4.2 amps of electric and converts this into 2400w of cooling power :)

[@jeanparkin3446]

We love Bruge we go every year ❤❤glad your face is getting better (i dont think youll be using that sun cream again)

[@TheRollingRucks]

Absolutely not! Hats all the way haha x

[@greenjacket66]

cheque out the Radfords cause they have apparently the biggest motorhome.

[@TheRollingRucks]

Yeah they do apparently 😂 it’s the same length as ours x

[@kon-tikitours884]

We have a 9m van and started our KZbin channel to show others where you can park a large van. We have a map on our Facebook page with places we have stayed. Enjoy 👍🏼👍🏼

[@TheRollingRucks]

Awesome thank you will have a look x

[@davidgamble800]

Air con draws between 4 and 5 amp

[@TheRollingRucks]

Thank you x

[@derbymatt]

It draws 4.2 amps on cooling

[@TheRollingRucks]

Thank you 🤩 x

[@danielrandy5851]

Go to ribs and beer all you can get ribs

[@fergalbrophy6330]

Can you guys just please come to Ireland already for a trip 😂!

[@TheRollingRucks]

One day it’s happening absolutely!!! Xx

[@mulberryaddict938]

Calypso burnt my skin, caused it to blister. It was horrible

[@TheRollingRucks]

Ouch it’s no fun is it sorry to hear it happened to you too x

[@yvonnewilliams]

Speak to roaming radfords, Lynds is a great planner

[@marterlew]

They don't even teach them videoing etc in schools at that age. You must be proud parents

[@TheRollingRucks]

Thank you they are awesome at it x

[@karenmeadows6264]

How do ya not get in trouble keeping us kids out of school

[@christinewood3193]

They are home schooled.

[@StephenOwen-yi5rx]

They where not anymore

[@edandjane4050]

Filmed in the school holidays. Kids are not home schooled anymore.

[@mulberryaddict938]

The video is not real time Karen!

[@TheRollingRucks]

This series was filmed during the school holidays. We used to home school until recently as boys are in comp

[@runawayrowells]

Can't wait to see the kids video's but noticed you didn't say what Oliver had done, has he been hacking MI5 😂 Regarding van size, we're 9m and tend not to plan anything more than a couple of days in advance. We're in Ireland now and doing a lot of beach park ups so we look for somewhere around 1 hours drive max and when we find a suitable place on Search for sites, I jump on Google maps satellite view and try to see if there's room

[@TheRollingRucks]

Oliver isn’t doing the KZbin that’s all but happy with his gaming I should have said that as I’ve been slated for leaving him out apparently 🤦‍♀️ i Thank you for sharing regarding van size too x

[@runawayrowells]

@TheRollingRucks can't people just accept that he's much quite than the others 🙄
