My Airstream is FOR SALE

Update 1st November 2022: The Airstream has now been sold to two wonderful people who are planning to keep it rolling in the manner to which it is accustomed :)
In this video I explain why it's time to move on, although not everything will become completely clear for a couple of weeks yet, so for that I ask for your patience. It will soon all fall into place!
But for now please join me on a sentimental journey that covers 14 years of being an Airstreamer, and the happy memories I've made with my Silver Bullet Travel Trailer.
Meanwhile, pencil 7pm UK Time FRIDAY 25th MARCH into your diaries. Join me then for a Premiere where I'll be revealing what Dougal and I will be doing next.

Yes, that really is footage of the moment that my very Airstream was born. And the last video footage I made of it. A sad day, but it will soon all make sense, I promise 😁

[@herbiecostello5408]

lovely video, cant wait to see your new Joa camper , just a guess, is the navara dissapearing too , i can see you in a landrover defender

[@ChristopherMacgowan]

All the very best for the next chapter. It is a favourite mantra of mine that it is much more fun implementing change than having change thrust upon you.

[@commuterbranchline8132]

Ahh Andrew, I just watched the reel of you and Dougal in the Airstream. I’m chopping onions here! 😢Onwards & Upwards, onwards & upwards!

[@anneshirley1748]

You have shocked us all! That is your appeal! xx 😘

[@louisesmith4370]

Hi you two..wonderful wonderful memories that no one can take away. Looking forward to what's coming next.good luck with the sale...give dougal a squeeze from us.. take care both..xx

[@robshill7214]

Andrew - you may not know it or you may choose not to accept it but you are an inspiration to so many people. You’re inspirational to not just those who own or want caravans/campervans or motorhomes but an inspiration to those who yearn adventure. Those single people like me who need that reassurance that you can go it alone but still feel part of a community. You’re an inspiration to those who want that slice of Scottish culture. I could go on. On a personal note, you’ve been inspirational to my mental health. Every time I watch your videos I smile. The music, the cinematography and the fun you bring is inspiring. Of course- you can 100% cry a year in letting the airstream go but in life, we should all be aiming to collect memories, not things. I’m 100% assured that whatever comes next will enable memories to be made. I feel guilty that it’s an exciting time for us as readers to embark upon this new chapter with you. Thank you for having us along with you for the ride. Keep in tune with yourself throughout the selling process and reassure yourself that positivity will come with change. There’s memories scattered out there- your challenge? Go collect them! Keep up the good work and thank you again for sharing your journey with us. :)

[@ivarwb4115]

This comment was so well written! I'm sure you have expressed what many of us think, but wouldn't be able to write :-)

[@andrewjditton]

What a very touching thing to say Rob, I'm deeply flattered, thank you! I still see myself as just one man in a van with his dog doing his thing. I'm not bright enough or intelligent enough to lie or spin made-up stories, I just tell the truth because honesty is so much easier to deal with! That said, having to keep the next move a big secret until all the Ducks are in a Row is nigh-on killing me! I have friends and family texting me since this video and I'm just not telling anyone. The relief after 25th will be immense, but I am SO excited about what is next. Thank you so much for sticking with us and your support - that means a lot to me!

My goodness, just watched this and was overcome with emotion. What a journey you and your Airstream had and the closing scene with you and your beloved Dougal cuddled together beside the fire pit alongside your Airstream in the waning light of dusk with the calm, soothing sounds of the ocean ... well that just finished me. Beautiful.

[@randomtravel1489]

Like so many others I have enjoyed following yourself and Dougal on your physical and emotional journey for the past three years or more. Always to be relied on for honest opinions and that is what made your channel so successful and admired. No doubt Dougal was properly consulted about your decision and heartily agreed.

[@andrewjditton]

Oh yes, he's totally in agreement! In fact, our change in touring habits is partly to ease the stress on him. Looking forward to sharing our news with you.

Andrew , I am so happy for you that your life in the Outer Hebrides is so fulfilling. You sure made the most of the RVing part of your existence. I can imagine if that is what you do for a living, it is a bit of a busman’s holiday to do the same with your time off. I look forward to what you do next.

Awesome! Thank you!

[@michaellecaplain3377]

2022 seems to be shaping up into a year of change for everyone (not all of it good, admittedly), and that's certainly the case for me personally. So while I'm rather sad that the Airstream has reached the end of your particular road (and therefore by definition, those of your faithful audience), I'm looking forward to seeing what you do next. I can see from the comments below that several people have already intimated as much, but your awesome videos were a real source of strength for me during the dark early days of lockdown and nothing's changed in the intervening months and years. Good luck with the next phase, fella - can't wait to see what's hoving in over the horizon for Team Ditton! :-)

[@andrewjditton]

Coming from you Mr Le Cap, that is praise of the highest order. Thank you! It's hard for me to see that, as from where I'm sitting I'm just a man in a van with a dog doing his thing and just happen to be filming and sharing it. I have to admit that I do love KZbin for giving me the platform and the means to be able to share my story. I'm VERY excited about what we are doing next, so please stay tuned! And who knows, hopefully our paths might cross again. All the best mate!

[@nigelburland187]

As I work in Darlington I could not miss the opportunity to view your Airstream. So glad I did , as I stepped inside I could sense the adventures you and Dougal have had and which I have been fortunate to watch on your channel. Looking forward to hearing about your next adventure. Meanwhile if anyone else wishes to view this icon then it is easy to spot at the end of a line of other supposed 'Icons'. Gach durachd !!

Like the bike Andrew and the way Dougal travels with you 👍

[@markonmotoring]

I discovered your channel only yesterday and have been watching videos on smaller caravans. I've been enjoying the videos so far and my wife loves Dougal. Something stood out in this video though promoting me to comment, your old photographs. In particular a car you used to have as I currently own a 1997 Mégane Coupe in Sunflower yellow which was the basis for the start of my channel. If I were to embark on caravaning though I think it would be the modern daily car though that would be more suited.

[@andrewjditton]

Cheers Mark! Will check out your channel - I loved that car! But I outgrew it with the windsurfing kit AND living in the 'van!

[@markonmotoring]

@@andrewjditton Yes I imagine you did, a kerb weight of around 1050kg is hardly the most capable tow car and if it was the same engine as mine (1.6e) then I'd say it goes fine on a twist B road with just the driver but does struggle when fully loaded when climbing or accelerating. Keep up the good work.

[@gordonbett6203]

That has brought back a lot of great memories of your travels, I totally agree with changes in life because you never know what is going to happen tomorrow, live for today not tomorrow life is to short.

Andrew, I love your videos and spend a lot of my time trying to decide between caravan, camper van or motorhome. A beautiful airstream provides the cool of a camper van, but let’s you take a car with you.

I know from the channel how much care has gone in to it.

Hi Andrew, Yours was one of the first Vlogs I ever watched whilst trying to decide whether to buy a caravan or motorhome (around 2017 or 18). My partner wanted a motorhome whilst I wanted a caravan. Our journeys would always involve our 2 dogs. Your vlog basically came down to choosing between the journey or the destination. Our eventual decision was to buy a secondhand caravan with a promise that if Sheila didn't like the choice we could bin it and move onto a motorhome. Luckily for me She loves the caravan and we're waiting on delivery of a brand new caravan to continue our adventures. So from both of us thank you for your insight, knowledge and helpful Vlogs. Good luck for your future.

I knew someone many years ago who frequently told me “nothing stays the same” and how right she was. Change is always on the horizon. I hope the sale goes well, and am looking forward to seeing what you and Dougal do next.

[@andrewjditton]

Thanks Jane - I'm VERY excited about what is next and can't wait to share it with you on the 25th :)

[@robertclarke7711]

Andrew, as you bid fairwell to your airstream and all those happy memories Dougal and You had, I wish you happy new adventures what ever shape and form they come. While waiting with bated breathe on the breaking news front on the 25th March.

[@andrewjditton]

Cheers Robert!

[@hilarygibson3150]

I lovely narrowboat but know onecdayvshecwill haven't go. I've also been lucky in my working life to visit the Outer Hebs and understand why you wanted to make it home, Lewis being my favourite.

[@gwarlow]

6:35 Absolutely my favourite shot of “the two of you”. Cheers Andrew, and best wishes embracing all of the changes that come your way!

[@andrewjditton]

Cheers Gordon!

[@garyrichardson865]

Loved our get-together's with you and the Airstream and 'Musky' my Sprite Musketeer. Now it's all change. Roll on the next chapter! 🙂x

[@andrewjditton]

Roll on indeed! More titters to be had I am sure :)

[@paula.jackson5463]

this is Life! Thanks Andrew, and Dougal, and Airstream, not the company, your Airstream!!!!!!

[@Lynnwilliamsmusic]

Hi Andrew, hoping your last night in your airstream was full of happy memories although a little sad too, but it’s great to have change as you know and wishing you many more happy memories in your next adventure. love your videos and your inspiration. all the best

[@andrewjditton]

Thank you! But as sad as it is, we sometimes have to make space in our lives to allow new opportunities to arise. I'm very excited about what we are doing next so please stay tuned.

[@Lynnwilliamsmusic]

@@andrewjditton so true, I certainly will!

[@christinehughes998]

I was at Kimberly Caravans on the weekend and as I walked past the airstream I thought of you... never imagined it was actually yours Andrew

[@CaraVanOlogywithBecky]

Well! What an unexpected end of an era! What a journey and what a “trusty stead (we won’t mention the axle!)” to journey with, be cosseted and inspired by and now on to the next bit of excitement; better suited to the next set of fabulous adventures! Your video reminds me of the Einstein quote I printed on my themes/inspirations for the year page in my planning journal: “Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving.” I’m not sure we’re all going to be able to contain ourselves until 25th you know…!

[@andrewjditton]

Well, I need to get my ducks in a row before I can announce anything. I'm very excited about the next chapter :)

[@CaraVanOlogywithBecky]

@@andrewjditton Ah, Monsieur Ditton you tease! We'll all be going be quackers waiting ;-) Very much looking forward to your big news once all contributory fowl are marshalled into line :) Best wishes, Becky

[@carolynandcocohaywood2638]

Sad but our lives change so our needs do too. You had fantastic times in the Airstream which you will never forget, it’s time for something different. I hope whoever buys it will make their memories.

[@garrygreen3210]

You have some fabulous memories with the Airstream, they will always remain.

[@andrewjditton]

Absolutely Garry. Plenty of visual aides too. But I'm excited about what is next, so please stay tuned!

[@Clover12346]

Love Douglas and you on the bike good luck with the sale

[@andrewjditton]

Thanks Nadine!

[@peterscandlyn]

Must be something in the water up there Andrew. Another channel I follow has come out of left-field with something similar. Regardless, you've shared some great memories, just hope Dougal doesn't get homesick. Looking forward for both of you.

[@andrewjditton]

Foxes Afloat? They've popped up a lot in the comments! Dougal is more than settled in our home in Uist, so that's part of the reason to move on to the next chapter. I'm VERY excited about it and can't wait to share it with you, so please stay tuned :)

[@jdrmvv]

Great. I think you forgot to say the size and the asking price. Thanks, and good luck there.

[@andrewjditton]

I'm leaving all those details to Kimberley Caravans who are selling on my behalf. Cheers!

[@NotAnotherWhiteBox]

It was nostalgic seeing this video - I vividly remember reading about your travels with the ABI Adventurer and later the Sterling in the various caravan magazines over the years. I remember the trials and tribulations of living in the van and things like getting the refillable gas system fitted. I've always had a soft spot for the ABI Adventurer, I remember it wasn't well received at the time and you were perhaps seen as a bit bonkers if you bought one! I can relate to your journey though; I find myself caravan-less too at the moment (but hopefully not for long!) as things were sold to make way for big changes. Your happiness is the most important thing, and even if people don't understand why you're parting company with this iconic caravan, I completely get it. And there's still a 1970 Thomson Glenelg sat in my barn that's calling your name... 😜Take care x

[@andrewjditton]

Oh no, sorry to hear you are caravanless too Cameron. I hope you get something sorted soon. I should be back on the road very very soon though. And yes, don't you dare give anyone else first refusal on that Glenelg once you've worked your magic on it! Cheers for now and hope to see you soon. x

[@tonymarsh6748]

thats a shame but look forward to see your next chapter🙏👍👍

[@Juanitabananadonny]

I love your airstream but I also love change and can't wait for the big reveal! Since speaking at the NEC about the holy grail of motorhomes( non transverse bed that can carry e-bikes and under 7m) I have decided to love my current campervan and not list it until what I want is invented - or you find and review one! I shall be watching this space and wish you and Dougal all the best in the new adventure.

[@andrewjditton]

I'm on the case Juanita... but am a bit distracted at the moment ;@) Can't wait to share the next adventure with you :)

[@lostweekendscaravan]

Hi Andrew Times are a changing. Looking for to what new adventure lies ahead for you. Thanks P&J.:)

[@andrewjditton]

Cheers P&J! You'll be sorry to know you're not going to be rid of me just yet, we'll be back with a bang in a couple of weeks! Can't wait to reveal the new rig once everything is in place.

[@lostweekendscaravan]

@@andrewjditton Can't wait.:)

[@technomomwi]

Sometimes I fight change but it never works. Ha ha. You are an excellent host for learning, exploring and friendship. Love Dougal!

[@andrewjditton]

Thank you! :)

[@hayard61]

😫😭Mr d! NO! What a shame. Still I expect you feel it's best for you at this moment. Looking forward to your next new venture. Good luck. Love to Dougle.

[@andrewjditton]

Diolch Cariad! I'm actually very excited about the next chapter.

[@peterdrury8859]

Looking forward to what comes next good luck Andrew you was the first I subscribed to on KZbin and always looked forward to watching your vlogs. I think you have inspired many people on here to go and see what it’s like in the Hebrides first hand👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@andrewjditton]

Cheers Peter! Can't wait to share what's coming next, so please stay tuned.

[@ShannaTrenholm]

Hooray, twin! Life is change, accept it, move on (try something new)! xoxo
