Our PERFECT RV Road Trip In ENGLAND! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Cream Tea, Cheddar Gorge + Overnight Parking Lot Stay!

The final stop on our British RV road trip is to the charming town of Cheddar, England - yes, where they make the cheese! 🧀 We got cream tea (our favorite British meal), took a little hike with some goats to the top of Cheddar Gorge and ended the day with our most peaceful night ever at a service station! There may even be a special final appearance by The Traven Beans 😎

We're Eric & Allison and we're on a journey to find the most interesting places and unique foods this planet has to offer! We've traded in our steady paychecks and permanent home for a life of travel and adventure. Come along and see the world with us!

[@fredsmith6725]

As John Cleese said to an American moaning about small roads in England in an episode of Fawlty Towers, "Well British cars have steering wheels"😅

[@allensaunders449]

That doesn't change the width of the roads

[@RockinRandall420]

Thanks for taking us along on this journey! Eric, best of luck with your Mom. ❤

[@ynys_mon6928]

Bless you for putting family first. It was lovely to see you back in the UK. Our prayers for your Mom Eric.

[@kellyberry]

I know what u mean its hard having to watch loved ones get sick and theres nothing anyone can do My BirthDad was sick in 2004 I went and saw him it was hard to believe this was the same guy who actually almost killed me as a baby He looked so peaceful laying there I clutched to my Sister the whole time he died a year later in August 2005 I know he wasnt a nice person but I still tried to be there for him even though he acted like he didnt want anybody near him I grew up mostly in FosterCare but when I heard he was sick I rushed over to see him Im just confused he had 7 kids and only 2 showed up I wish he had been nicer to others I wonder if he knew he was dying but kept everybody in the dark about it my Mom was his 2nd wife his other wife divorced him after finding out he was dating her while married. Its also odd A year before his death my Mom called telling me Son ur Dads in Jail again I tell her what did he do now? She replies He was driving while drunk but it wasnt his fault his car wouldnt stop Police wouldnt have caught him if his damn brakes were working I wish we could have made up but its too late so whatever happens to ur loved ones make sure to try to make up because u dont want it to be too late

[@GaryAndHeatherBush]

This series has been so fun! Praying for Eric’s mom and whole family. 💕🙏🏼💕🙏🏼

[@donaldberthel]

Just a tip when emptying the chemical toilet.....once you tilt it and the flow starts, press the green button. That vents it and makes it flow faster. Anything you can do to complete that task faster is a good thing.

[@melissamoeller9608]

It was great to see the Beans! Thanks for showing us a bit of England. I’m praying for your mom and family. Please take all the time you need. We’re here for the long haul. It’s the Endless Adventure, after all!

[@jerrihadding2534]

I can always count on you two for the hilarious truth beyond the horrifying reality! I hope with all my heart that both of you understand that we cherish your heartfelt journey through life. And I dare to say “we” because I have absolutely no doubt that my admiration, respect and delight are shared with many others!

[@JustinBrehm]

Family always comes first and I hope everything gets better for you over time

[@barrerasnomas2058]

I appreciate the no BS intro cut through the crap, and not pissing away the viewers valuable time 😅

[@kathykeene2092]

Bath, Cheddar, Bristol…..okay, they’re now on my bucket list. Thank you. I’m saying a special prayer for your mom and all your loved ones loving her.

[@AndyKing1963]

All the best to your Mum, Eric

[@jillwalls9330]

Prayers for your mom Eric. Enjoyed the tour of the cool things in England. Very beautiful countryside. 😊

[@Ruddybloke]

When you tip the cassette up, hold the little yellow button in near your right hand, and it will empty way quicker.

[@jml4774]

Oh dear Eric, I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I'm sure that I am not the only one who is keeping you in their thoughts. Take special care.

[@andystreet1479]

safe trip back home our thoughts and prayers will be for you both and Eric's mom at this difficult time glad you got to experience a little bit of England.

[@elizabethworthington5228]

I can't believe two of my favourite vloggers drove past the end of my road! (In Bristol) We are regulars in Cheddar getting supplies of cave cheese, it's my son's favourite. So sorry for the reason that you had to cut your trip short but going home is obviously the right decision. I'll be keeping you all in my prayers.

[@pamredesigns]

Prayers for your mother. May God surround yourself with all with Divine grace. Peace and blessings

[@joanhall3718]

So nice that you were able to spend another day with the Beans. Glad you can have some time with your Mother this holiday. You will never regret spending this time together.

[@tonys1636]

Whilst in Bristol did you see the clock that has one hand showing Bristol time, 10 minutes behind GMT. Each town had its own time until the railways standardised it, set at noon when the sun was at its highest point in the sky.

[@tracyshoate8114]

Just wanted to tell you I love your videos and I'm sorry about your mom. I'm a fellow Missouri Native and now live in Kansas City, Mo. I have terminal colon cancer and I'm 57 yrs old, have 7 grandsons and 1 granddaughter all under 14. My husband and I had plans to travel too but life as we planned it took us in a direction that I wouldn't want anyone to endure. LIVE YOUR LIFE, CONTINUE TO LAUGH AND ENJOY EVERY SINGLE MINUTE. Love you guys Tracy

[@lesleyhughes3174]

Spread on the jam, then top with little blobs of cream. We use ordinary whipped cream in NZ , which has added a little powdered sugar, or we call it icing sugar, plus a little vanilla essence. No clotted cream! 😊

[@Twogirlsabroad]

Praying for your mom and your family. I lost my dad 3 days after my first Christmas with him. Having sick loved ones is always hard. May God be with your mom, you and your family in this time!!!!

[@sarah-phillips]

Family first - always. Sending prayers for your family. Loved the views of Cheddar and the road trip but glad you'll be with family during the holidays.

[@feathersduststudio]

Love that y’all are with The Beans! Found their channel through you - cheers to you all! ✨👏🏼🏕️

[@lornamackenzie2694]

How sweet, two different van lifers meeting up.

[@lesleyhughes3174]

You are meant to rinse the cassette well after emptying, then add a chemical plus some water, it all sloshes around while driving to help the smell and also add a chemical to the base collector of the cassette, to do the same and help break down waste to make it easier to empty. If you are not rinsing properly and adding said chemicals, the cassette gets lined with a nasty brown scale! 😊

[@cherilangguth2151]

Glad you got to visit a bit with the Beans and see Noah, we got to see him again too. Thoughts and prayers for your family now and in the New Year. Enjoy the time with your family and we will see you on the road again soon.

[@teresateresa8933]

I love how she empties the waste without gloves and you record with gloves...hahaha

[@soxrox2574]

Cheddar has a lot to offer the views from the top of the gorge, the cave, the town itself and of course... the cheese.

[@maryearll2135]

Hugs and warm thoughts for both of you and your mom and family Eric. Thinking of you over the holidays. Thanks for the short trip to the UK!!

[@gerryrandallfox2402]

So sorry for your Mom. Praying 🙏🙏🙏 for your family

[@myrnahermann7000]

As an Aussie driving in the USA and Canada on my trips over, I think the most "interesting" was coming to a busy crossroad and being confronted with a stop sign on each corner. I turned right, drove to where it was safe and did a U turn, then back to the crossroad and turned right. Safer for me, and other motorists. My mantra for driving over there is "tight rights loose lefts, and keep your passenger in the gutter". So far, so good.

[@alecleamus3280]

Sending healing thoughts and love to your mum and your family, Eric. 🙏🏻💙

[@trailingarm63]

Great film, it's so funny watching your reactions to UK roads. When you grow up here it seems normal - you would get used to it if you could spend more time. But you're right about needing balls to drive big trucks over here. If you come back make it some time between May and September. Right now is the worst time for weather. Safe journey home and good luck to mum!

[@joangravelle8455]

What a lovely surprise seeing the Beans!

[@Hylan_]

Am I the only one who notices that every episode when they have a different rig they change the intro the small details that y’all put into the videos are amazing

[@DannyA3579]

Love watching you guys. Love the Beans too. Having you altogether is fantastic. Sending good thoughts for your mom. Family first.

[@jenniferfesperman3577]

I hope you guys do a group trip like you did in Bali soon. FTN, Kinging It and this time add Travel Beans, Eamon & Bec & Kara & Nate. All my favs together! Love your videos!

[@sharondavis2512]

I really enjoy your vlogs in England. Thanks for sharing. Prayers for your mom. ❤

[@futurebillionaire92]

I'm very sorry about your mum Eric. It's frankly amazing that you two are still producing content in these circumstances, thank you. The complaints about the dark are hilarious, people forget that effectively all of the USA is further south than the UK. In the northern parts of Scotland we have midwinter days where we never get out of twilight (though the sun does rise, unlike the nordic countries and iceland). It's ok to find the roads tricky. Driving a small-ish car I still have hesitation about the tiny roads but for slightly different reasons (no 4wd, low to the floor if there's flooding etc.). There's a certain balance to be struck between caution and pushiness (as in your bus-lorry standoff)!

[@stevestone23]

Hey guys welcome to my back yard . glad you're enjoying the UK again . Oh and I'm one of the balls of steel trucker you're referring to 😂 . Sending Love to your family ❤

[@re575817]

God Bless You Both! Thank you for the adventure.

[@clarejohnson-graham]

Lots of love to you both and to Eric's family. Hope u all enjoy some nice family time ❤

[@stinajones9847]

I originally found your channel because of your UK videos. I am so happy to be watching you explore more of England !❤

[@MrMorton]

My dad worked at a meat locker in a small town and found inside the freezer was some civil defense cheese that had been stored in the freezer for more than 60 years. It was the most deliciously aged cheese I had ever eaten!

[@crampons2431]

If you were to buy a European rv it would be left hand drive , you could always import one from France or Spain etc.

[@lindamcgowen4597]

May you mom have the best transition when it is time. Love you guys!

[@emilywynstra]

Girllllll Allison...you better stop with that buttery biscuit and fresh farm cheddar! OMG loved the looks of that! So happy for you guys and appreciate the great video 🤗

[@Bin-The-L-Plates]

Here in the UK biscuits are completely different to scones, but I understand where the confusion comes from having visited Wisconsin many times to see our friends. A scone is almost a cake in consistency, biscuits are much harder, and are often best dunked in a hot cup of tea. We make the best cups of tea, and I’m not sure why but it’s never the same over in the US.

[@Purple8012]

Prayers for Erics mom and the entire family. Maybe sticking closer to home a better idea since she's so ill.

[@JulieBeyerRDN]

Sending you and your family love and prayers. I lost my dad to pancreatic cancer way too young. I can’t say anything to take the pain away. Just know others understand.

[@airenesmiler6624]

Hugs to you Eric and the whole family.

[@annah8380]

I thought you were asking some random woman about the cream 😂 it took me a few seconds to recognize Emma Bean! 😄 Loving your England tour 🥰

[@Chantal_4107]

Prayers for you mom, Eric ❤

[@Not_For_You_.]

Best wishes to Eric & his Mum. Interesting to see you appear in Bristol at the end. If you left town via the M32 (which it looks like you did) you were 5 minutes away from my house, which is pretty random when I watch your videos from so many far away places.

[@RachelTaylor88]

Eric, we just read were your mother passed away on the 26th. You, allyson, and your entire family will be in our thoughts and prayers. Our love and support will always be here for you.

[@Stephen0001]

That toilet cassette is fairly standard in Australia. Just make sure you put that black cap somewhere well away from the dump point while emptying the cassette. You do NOT want to drop that cap into the dump point.

[@edwardsfamily6184]

You should try crumpets with marmite and melted cheese so lovely ❤❤

[@laurenslaughter2440]

This was such a walk down memory lane! My husband and I did an England road trip a few years ago, and I’ve been begging to move to the Cotswolds ever since!

[@skeeterforever6475]

Enjoyed seeing your trip. Sending prayers for Eric’s mom and whole family

[@kellyjohnson3617]

I love cream tea. You can find it in the US but maybe it’s cuz I’ve always lived on the west coast. Real tea houses usually have a cream tea option. Not all of them have the same quality of clotted cream however. Nothing like homemade clotted cream like that. Yum yum. Though I would have opted for a good quality English breakfast or London grey tea.

[@mykirbs2002]

Awe I’m sorry for your Mom! Prayers to you Eric and your family❤️

[@ablaze7973]

😃 Just in case you don’t already know and for next time… when pouring out the chemical loo, if you push the round button with your thumb, it’s a breather valve and lets your pour quicker and with less gluggs 😂 Also, for me personally, I prefer using Thetford Aqua Kem Blue for the waste tank.. I find it’s the best for breaking down the contents and really breaks down the smell too 😃👍

[@lynettecarner]

I love The Travel Beans. I have a top 5 channels that I watch all the time. The Endless Adventure a 8:32 and The Travel Beans are in my top 2, I love watching you all.

[@MariaRockAngel]

our speedbumps and roads are no joke. we're a fun place for sure.

[@mannyposh]

Next time you visit England go to Dorset :)

[@BeachcomberNZ]

Your commentary on the roads in England reminded me of this exchange between an American tourist (Mr Hamilton) and Basil Fawlty, in the TV show Fawlty Towers: Mr. Hamilton - "Took five hours from London. Couldn't find the freeway, had to take a little back street called the M5!" Basil Fawlty - "Well, I'm sorry if it wasn't wide enough for you. A lot of the English cars have steering wheels."😉

[@dianesilverstein6475]

Sending healing prayers to your mom, you, and family. Safe travels ❤.

[@andrewbennett7385]

It really helps if you press the vent button on those toilets. Things go much more 'smoothly'.

[@margaretmorgan4682]

In Australia this type of toilet cassette is common. We used a biodegradable tablet and about a tablespoonful of plain yoghurt in the tank. It did help to neutralise odours.

[@gabygaedecke2411]

Best wishes to you and your Mom - being ill over the holidays is so difficult. I spent a couple of days in Cheddar and area (it poured the whole time) and it was delightful.

[@aliciabrown7890]

The 3 Beans !! Noah is so cute!!

[@gregyohngy]

I have a 500e and it is fun to recharge for free at the public EV chargers. You also can charge for almost free when you charge at home for the off peak price of $.04 a kw. That's about $.01 a mile cost.

[@BTgla]

Baby Noah is sooooo adorable!!

[@scotbownes5627]

🙏for your mom - take care - I always enjoy your videos

[@brianduffy1731]

Eric prayers to your Mom. Will be thinking of her and hoping for the best.

[@katalinas9264]

🙏 Prayers for Eric's Mom ❤

[@TuhinXV]

9:59 the roads are not just thin, they have added some beautiful twists and turns. it will be a great f1 street circuit.

[@we_wonder_the_world]

Those kind of RVs are available all over Europe with the steering wheel on the left side of the car (the proper side) so you might be able to import one someday😊

[@jkbutnotreally]

Clotted cream is made by baking heavy cream in a very low temp in the oven for a long time (very easy to make). Clots are formed on the top, hence the name. The cream itself is not sweet, so the jam is absolutely needed. When homemade, a very thin crispy film forms on top, which is then folded into the cream. I think those are the very small chunks you were showing. And the Devon way is to put jam first. The reason for that is that if the scone is warm and the cream goes first, it will melt. Sorry about your mom :(

[@jessicanuveenleflar7061]

Sorry to hear Mom is not doing well. Praying for comfort for yall.

[@goduk]

The rule I always follow for jam or cream first depends on whether you also have butter… [ jam ] [ cream ] [ scone ] … or … [ cream ] [ jam ] [ butter ] [ scone ]

[@beverlypoirier705]

Always nice when you meet up with the 🫘. Nice little RV! I'm so sorry you have to cut your time short and I'll be praying for your safe trip ✈️ back to the states. Also continuing to pray for your mom and family. ❤🙏

[@CarlessSarah]

As a Brit the roads are always fun to drive on! I very often breathe in (it’s a common joke over here) when I’m passing someone on a narrow road 😂 I also love Cheddar, have fond memories of trips there as a kid when we were visiting family in Somerset.

[@philw4625]

You need to press the little green button on the toilet cassette as you empty - it lets air in and stops it plugging/splashing! And apologies for the weather - its pretty bad even by our standards!

[@melanieshirkey5276]

Sending prayers to your Mom!

[@anitabalaski8666]

Prayers for your mom Eric. Have a safe trip home.

Good to see the beans with you. It's a scone but you make it sound like it's gold.

[@dianebalinski3390]

Holding you close in prayer during this difficult time with Eric’s mom. 💕

[@themerrywidow2013]

A travel bean crossover! 😊

[@PeterKNoone]

You guys just made me so hungry for a hot scone and cheddar.........not sure what to do now. (edit) So sorry to hear about your mom.....glad you get to go spend some time with her. Thanks for the videos and hang in there!

[@hueandsteve1989]

In England a speed bump is often referred to as a sleeping policeman. Don’t wake him up, he’ll mess your vehicle up!!

[@britainonabudget]

Yep! First step when in England is always a cream tea! I’ll have the cup of tea with it as I like the taste best but then if I need a coffee I’ll have one after 😆

[@suzannemccoy9610]

Prayers for your Mom, Eric. Thank you for the video, Allison and Eric.

[@timmann6106]

Good to see you back in the UK. Hope you return for longer when circumstances allow and maybe see a little more sunshine.

[@eleanorcramer7986]

I envy your getting to hang out with the Beans. They brighten any day. Humor is best medicine. I’m in and buckled up. I know about having very dramatic endings to a year and during the holidays. Also beginnings with weddings and births. The circle is never ending. May peace and joy meet you all along your way.

[@jj-if6it]

I love how Emma just randomly appears in the cafe haha. Love them!
