🔶 About us 🔶
Welcome to our channel! We're Carol and Ken, retired professionals turned van life enthusiasts. We share our adventures across the UK and Europe in our trusty camper van, soon to be upgraded to a slightly larger model.
Our goal is to provide a relaxing, honest account of van life, with no scripted drama - just the real, day-to-day experiences of our travels. Many of our viewers find our content calming, and we hope you will too.
We're passionate about wild camping and love to share our knowledge and tips, from staying cool in the van to choosing the right toilet. We're always learning and look forward to sharing more insights when our new van arrives in January.
While we love the freedom of wild camping, we also enjoy supporting local businesses by indulging in delicious local food. Expect to see plenty of one-pan meals and restaurant visits in our videos.
We like historical sites, country homes, towns, villages, and the occasional city. We aim to share interesting facts and stories about the places we visit.
We post new videos every Friday at 6pm UK time, sometimes more often.
Our channel is perfect for armchair travelers, those considering a caravan or motorhome, or anyone looking to unwind after a stressful day. If this sounds like you, hit that subscribe button and join us on our journey. Your support, whether through watching our videos, subscribing, or contributing to our 'Buy Me a Coffee' fund, helps to keep our adventures going. We appreciate every bit of it. ❤️

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@Verolader]

Agreed 100%

[@dianetourville]

Carol and Ken, congratulations on the new van. I can almost smell the « new van » scent from here. Best wishes on your future trips! 😊

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks so much!

[@robgriesdoorn6611]

Congratulations Carol and Ken, he is very beautiful and I hope you have many wonderful adventures 😉👍

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Cheers👍

[@bigmama2135]

Its an absolutely gorgeous lookibg van and the interior is sheer luxury. I'm so jealous but in a good way, you both worked hard over the years and have earned this beautiful van. So grateful to be able to travel vicariously through you both. Wishing you both many, many, happy driving days ahead and adventures galore.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks so much! Very kind 😀

[@Zak_How]

The new van looks really cool. I really like both setups. They both seem to have unique benefits. Looking forward to seeing how you guys settle into the new one. 👍😎

[@RobertSmith-cv1cu]

This has been a long time coming. Now get out and enjoy. And when you arrive at your next height barrier look at it and say 'we will take our money somewhere else'. I really am so happy for you two. Enjoy enjoy enjoy. Take good care.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks so much 😀

[@janetbowen7854]

Oh how wonderful, so pleased for you both, your Consort Nova looks amazing, you must have been exhausted after the collection, unpacking and a stormy first night. What adventures you're going to have. Have fun on your first long road trip, hope the weather improves but at least you're camping in a luxurious and spacious new campervan 🚐🍾❤️ xx

[@LifeistooshortCK]

We are exhausted to be honest. Booked onto another campsite tonight to rest up for next 2 days. We have lots of sorting out still to do before we are ready for touring. 👍

[@jwilson2042]

I felt quite emotional watching that. I'm thrilled for you both. 🥹💓

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thank you ❤️

[@mickyg3820]

Glad you got your new motorhome in the end 🚐 wishing you both many more great and beautiful adventures 👍🏻

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thanks so much!

[@jamessmith6402]

Great to see the new camper it looks fantastic 👍

[@risingsun49]

I like the built in blinds over the windows. Nicely done

[@LifeistooshortCK]

@@risingsun49 They are so much easier than the curtains we used to have 🙂👍

[@elwanderer7903]

Lovely to see you both in a bigger space, you soon get used to it! I upgraded my van 4 years ago and I haven't regretted going bigger to a high top, long wheel base one bit. Carol will be going all Gordon Ramsey on us with the luxury of that oven and kitchen 😂 I love that you're offering Little Red to your channel first. I really hope it's a follower that decides to buy and continue the love. Happy camping guys 😊

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Yes, we are loving the extra space. Can’t wait to cook up some meals in the oven and had toast today thanks to the grill 🤗

[@Anita-rq9ev]

This is really lovely, I like the interior and the warmth of the light is cosy. When will you reveal the name ? I wish you joy with your new van 👍

[@LifeistooshortCK]

We have a name but will not reveal until we know we like it 👍

[@Anita-rq9ev]

@@LifeistooshortCK yes, I agree, this is a good idea

[@KDbbasm]

Aren't those fabulous rear window wrapping around just ever, ever so wonderful! Notice your elbows and arms rest comfortably on the upright cushions back there I just love that. Remember in "Beloved Little Red" opening a small curtained window to see what the new day looked like, or opening the side door to see.....now you have colossal wrap around windows...just stunning.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Yes we can people watch to our hearts content. Consort put a huge amount of thought into the lounge area 👍

[@paulbower5274]

god bless her and all who sail/travel with her

[@christopherbutler7588]

How lovely your New van good luck 😊

[@rogerthornhill2435]

I felt thrilled for you both, it reminded me of when we swopped our little two berth caravan for a large 4 berth van with an end bathroom, we didn’t know what to do with all the space. Having said that we shall never forget our little two berth and all the pleasure it gave us, the open road was ours, and boy did we enjoy it. I remember I was to long for the bed, but that didn’t stop me enjoying it. Looking forward to seeing your trips in your new van. I wish you all the best.

[@LifeistooshortCK]

We know how you felt. Little Red is such a good van and we will miss how easy it is to use it 👍

[@arwelwilliams6954]

Very happy for you both, it put a big smile on my face seeing people so happy. 😀
