I think your van is well laid out inside. It's your home and it works for you and that's what counts. It is a shame you don't have your old videos (I watched every one ) but now you will make fresh new videos that will be going on from where you left off. Lots will tune in because you are such an inspirational chap who is always happy and chirpy .. you are my top you tube channel...tc 😊

Love your home Mark , its not like every other van that seems to be on utube , you've put your own stamp on it . I totally agree i'm of the opinion that some vanlife channels dont live in their vans fulltime as their vans are like new & not lived in 😂. My van is tidy but never looking like new . Love your channel ❤

Hi Mark... I'm a new subscriber from Australia and I f*cken love you and your personality. I love your brutal honesty yet down to earth thinking. I have just finished a small van (toyota townace) old school no computers and crap and I love it. Your van size and set up is what I aspire to... your van is amazing and well thought out. Anyhoo just wanted to say hi and tell you that your videos make my day 😊

"Wrong side of 50, Live in a van and s**t in a bucket" HAHAHA! You need to put this on a shirt!! I agree with everything! Just a question though, where does your diesel heater vent it's exhaust? It looks like the type of heater you'd use in a shop, not the wired in fixed heater of vanlife. I know because I'm into my 4th winter and mine hasn't worked properly yet!!! I haven't watched all your vids yet, bingeing them now, so I apologize if you talk about this in one. If not, maybe you could talk about it in one. I'm still not quite clear why you can't answer in the comments but it seems you were put through the wringer. Sorry to hear that. livin the vanlife here in cold, rainy Vancouver, Canada. Cheers! 🇨🇦🐾

You reak down and any garage can fix it; I want to try and spend a fair bit of time in the van and hope i do find the courage - see a lot of lone females my age and over who do it! Blessings 🙃😂
