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.

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. :)

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!

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! :-)

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.

Andrew, thank you for allowing so many people (including me!) to join you on your travels. You offered moments of peace and beauty, especially when I would have time on deployments for videos. I’m reading a novel now that has its focus on the Hebrides and sailing. I’m looking forward to your onward adventures! David

Hi Andrew, WOW, that's a huge decision to unload the Airstream on your part, unbelievable! You're absolutely correct, change is constant, change is a good thing, you understand this and imbrace it as a good thing. You're a lucky guy Andrew, you have a great life, you continue to move forward in a positive way. You're a true, real winner. I'm looking forward to, as are all your thousands of friends are to seeing what is coming next for you and Dugal! 🤩💋💋👍

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. If you don’t have a buyer yet, I would be interested - I know they are not cheap, but none of the good ones are, so I am seriously interested. 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.

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
