All my videos are filmed using my iPhone 13 Pro Max and edited on CapCut app’.
For those that don’t know me I was popular on KZbin despite only having my channel for just 8 months.
I had over 540 videos nearly 1 million watched hours, several thousand subscribers and was gifted products to review from companies.
Unfortunately in April 2024 I felt compelled to take it down due to my personal safety was compromised.
However since then safety measures have now been put in place allowing me back on KZbin.

I loved the cushion on the bed. That sentiment is the theme to my life. Individuals can be ok, but people in general, spare me.

[@carol_ann_living.in.the.moment]

Absolutely amazing van, Mike and his wife have done a superb job. Hope they enjoy their new life on wheels ❤

[@ButtercupcreationArt]

Wow Mike and his wife have done a fabulous job and to think they have a one bed flat there which is crazy prices in bricks and mortar..I hope they have many happy years in their home where ever their adventures take them

Looks bloody amazing, love the fitout - well done to Mike and Josie xx

[@julieharding6631]

Super magic bus!!!!

[@sayaka8587]

Lovely neat tidy and smart interior, Mike and his wife have made it so comfy. Yes, finding parking for a bus is a bit more difficult. Hope all goes well for them in the future. Nice video Mark. Take care 😊😇🥰

[@roygbiv6704]

Mark, I love this concept! Van tours. So many folk on here looking for inspiration 👍

[@SuzannesSimpleLiving]

I’ll let you know 😂

[@julianjolly6098]

Fantastic 👏👏👏👏👏

[@Weirdwebbie58]

What an awesome vehicle/home top job 👍🏻

[@jamesfeeley5854]

Beautiful bus well built

[@van-gabondramblinrose6398]

The van is lush. Very nice conversion. Shows what you can do if you put your mind to it. The only thing I would mildly criticise, is.....why oh why do people draw attention to themselves by putting their chairs and tables etc outside on the grass verge? It only pisses off the Normies and causes trouble for other van lifers down the line.

[@josyksmalley9752]

Hi there, I’m Mike’s wife. We’re very careful to be responsible and respectful, We were in an area that it’s allowed and as we had our daughter and daughter in law visiting with our new baby grandson we all sat together outside x

[@Paul-y7w]

He's proper skilled carpenter

[@Mark22WiDax]

Wow love their home .. amazing job ❤👍🏻😎

[@tommy-trump-1967]

love his efforts and space in the beast but my concerns, no way thats driven on a car licence ? insurance i was quoted for an ex 18 seater minibus was +1k on top of price of exact same van that wasnt a minibus even though i told them all the seats will be removed ? and security, those doors and windows will never be secure and with my life inside pfff id need to be in eyesight of van 24/7 but with a family in tow, i dont think hes a lot of choice on size, it needs to be big, massive repect and all the best , vanlife 4 life ✊🤩🤩

[@van-gabondramblinrose6398]

As long as he got his licence before 1997 he can drive up to 7.5 tons. I'm thinking of doing the same. Those vario's go on forever.

[@josyksmalley9752]

@@van-gabondramblinrose6398yeah, Mike has the pre-1997 “grandad rights”. You should absolutely do it!

[@Globetrotter-1]

My only reservation is the number plates being shown during the video, so that thousands of people viewing this video now know what's actually inside this particular vehicle wherever it's parked up in the future.

[@josyksmalley9752]

@@Globetrotter-1 Mark did offer to not film them but as we’re about to change them so we said it was fine.

[@Globetrotter-1]

​@@josyksmalley9752 That's good news 👍. I did notice the number plate behind the windscreen, and it crossed my mind that maybe you were in the process of changing them. I wish you all the best and an enjoyable future in your new home on wheels. 😉

[@Paul-y7w]

I really love it but get rid of the shower/ toilet box and open up the place. Quick curtains are private enough,,, lay down on ya bed and imagine your view and feeling of space without the bathroom box, lots of better space saving ideas online 😊

[@MikeSmalley-Motörhome]

Each to their own, I’m a builder and want to shower when I’m done for the day. The bus is big enough to cater for the shower/toilet/drying area. Some folk insist on a log burner.. not my thing but I get it.

[@darrentaff8374]

Coming to see you from Sheffield Mark. Wer you at ? Blink three times if you can talk. Been with you from your early days. All best 👍

Gonna be nippy come winter

[@marksmith7503]

No look in the garage???

[@josyksmalley9752]

@@marksmith7503 unfortunately although we had grand plans for a nice garage area it’s actually just where we wedge the crap we haven’t parted with or might want one day so if Mark had filmed it I’d still be trying to squash it all back in 😂
