I did something similar about 2 years ago. i broke down to my mum because i was at an all-time low. Within a month, i had found a new job and moved, never looked back happiest i ever been bought myself a camper and i enjoy life. I hope you get your life where you want it to be am looking forward to following you 😊

[@iNDI_VAN_A_JONES]

True happy ending!

[@mainwarc]

Looks great... mental health b4 cash is the right way...

[@iNDI_VAN_A_JONES]

Great way of putting it

[@robwilcox561]

Your energy comes over in spades! I know only too well that if you let things roll, you can end up in a hole if you are not careful. You clearly have a logical brain and your instructional videos really help people - good luck.

[@Duciousness]

£50,000 a year would change my whole life in just a year. 😂 Get anti-depressants bro and work out. That's a lot of money to just blow off.

[@Simonboss248]

Life is too short do what makes you happy 👍🏻

[@iNDI_VAN_A_JONES]

Wise words

[@micro_adVANtures]

Mate you’re doing the right thing. I am full time in my micro camper. A tiny Peugeot expert. But work full time as an online teacher. I am teaching ‘live’ lessons to teens all over the world!! From 8am to 6.30pm Monday to Friday for a private online school. Being in front of the camera live and in the moment is bloody exhausting to say the least. I’m 25years into my career so to old and too late for change for me. I do try with KZbin vids (feel free to check those out£ but I’m not great at it.

[@iNDI_VAN_A_JONES]

I bet that is tiring but also rewarding

[@michaelbratton3319]

That's what work agencies are for?you sign up and you tell them what you want to do? Like 2 or 3 days,or 2 nights etc etc?

[@Desmond.TuTu.]

Top tip …. Go and buy a spare drill battery 👍

[@iNDI_VAN_A_JONES]

Mind blown!

[@dunnylad2106]

you need to kneel down and paddle then stand up when yuo are moving. You'll fall trying to stand up when still..

[@madmanc_angling]

I'm currently looking for a van to do this.. i need one to fit my carp gear in too as i want to tour the UK then europe fishing and seeing old friends in between.. I've just come out of a toxic relationship and need to fresh start

[@micro_adVANtures]

Just a thought. When you open the door of your fridge can you remove the salad draw and wire shelves for cleaning?? Oh and ewwww lol

[@danhadfield6275]

You lucky boy i saw none of the northern lights. Youl be happier erning less you just gotta live on less but you will be hapier if you can and living in your van is a big help

[@md2320]

Told you so £50k cos it's your life work and sleep. The minute you say no they start saying the jobs not for you or you're not suited. It's your fault you want a life. Just have a life 👍 I drive a van now 8hrs Monday to Friday start early finish for dinner best job I've ever had and the money would be the same if I did 60hrs a week as driving a truck for some companies.

[@iNDI_VAN_A_JONES]

Tbf the company is a good company. Tramping is just not for me . But I made the decision to get out before much more damage was done to my life / relationship or being a dad. Life is more important

[@martinjackson2592]

Build coming on well. Iam always in lakes hiking or paddleboarding if you ever fancy meeting up to van chat😂

[@iNDI_VAN_A_JONES]

If yoy ever see me about pop over!

[@jplay1i973]

Make just a little sort of box where you can drop tiny little things in where your wifi is. Don't know, just an idea .... Great video!

[@iNDI_VAN_A_JONES]

Maybe a great idea! Mind is working now ;)

[@Craftypumpkin1]

Hey Richard I am so sorry you felt so down and upset but you did the right thing, You have your lovely van now to concentrate on and it is looking brill, And good luck with that smelly fridge lol 🤢👍

[@iNDI_VAN_A_JONES]

Maye the fridge is killing me. 4 days I've been telling myself I need to clean it out hahahhaa

[@Craftypumpkin1]

@@iNDI_VAN_A_JONES Lol bless your heart, get some vicks under your nose or a peg on it lol and go sort it, you will be glad you did, Just glad your not roping me into doing it for you LOL I will watch from afar 👍

[@ElectricDreamsAdventure]

Van looks amazing! Question… in the shower, you have a material roof. How will you get over the moisture that will accrue once you run hot water? Just intrigued.

[@That-Notion]

Good luck, go for it and have a brilliant time on the way 👍

[@mramsey123]

All the best moving forward and well done making the next step. 👏

[@shaunlawless7028]

Good old A W Jenkinson for you!

[@xjsonx]

Wow thats an eye opener!! I thought coach drivers were on somewhere in the 20s. Funny how one mans stressful or dull job sounds like a dream for others. I could probably survive on 50k to get me out of working a boring IT job and being out and about on the road. Seeing natural light and different scenery beats staring at a screen day in day out!

[@tobyz.3452]

Follow your heart, Follow your Dream; Faith and Fear both demand that you believe in something you cannot see.... Heh heh heh, I always choose FAITH. Good Luck, God Bless your journey.

[@tanfastictrancer-bowserapp8350]

Well done mate top man. Life is so very short so don’t waste it by doing something that makes you unhappy. Onwards and upwards mate and I’ll await loads of videos 👏

[@bumblebee-mygt867]

Good decision mate. Not easy to change direction but I'm sure you have made the best decision for yourself. And with your driving skills you always have a plan B

[@shaunsadventures]

I quit my job was working to many hours and didn't have a life anymore I hated going to work felt like crying most days. So got another job lot less hours and earning same money I love the outdoor life like u say a big weight of my shoulders my partner says I am a lot happier now witch I am I personally think having a life is more important than work or money great videos I'd love to live in van full-time hopefully one day

[@TheDomainNameGuy]

If you have the truck licence why not join a driving agency and work if and when you want on your terms etc I lived in a car whilst being a van driver for a driving agency etc which was a great way of life with great work life balance 3 day week 4 day weekend

[@Vantastic-times]

Great video mate having some more time gives you chance to pop round and bring a few beers ,, and we can do something to your back doors,,,,,,, on the van I mean 😮

[@evergardenxox]

just came across this video and realised youre northern exotics, i hope ur doing well bro, miss ur reptile content

Congratulations Rick on making the move you've always wanted to do. Do what makes you happy 👍🏼

Looks great buddy give us a shout if you come up North Yorkshire I’ll get you a beer 👍

[@roddysallie8098]

Hi I am enjoying the Videos. Quick question, what is the material on your ceiling of the van? Thanks 👍

[@iNDI_VAN_A_JONES]

That's called embossed suede from a company called rc fabrics

YOU are a good guy, I wish you all the best in your venture,,,,,

[@karlossmith3714]

The reason they give them red crimp clips is to tap into the wiring you got installed already for your fan. Because your running another set of wires for the light you can just connect them together ☺️

[@andrewjackson3761]

its my dream to see the northern lights , i love your videos and your channel but the news companies are lieing it was a solar storm they are similar in looks .

[@rhyshunter1972]

looking good only thing ide have done was move the electrics under the bed lower down then bit the base lower and installed and rock n roll bed so you could have somewhere to sit during days and eat exc but getting there

[@Wyldwaines]

Good for you we’re doing the same but at the start of our social media journey.

[@dunnylad2106]

loads want to do youtube as a job. Life doesn't work like this..

[@ThomasDevOnline]

Do what you love mate, do what you love. You were put on this planet to enjoy life not work for others x

[@Kiwifella]

id suggest lift the fridge and have a pull out step for the bed. Looking good tho!

Love it mate. Doing the same thing. Should be finishing my last job in August. Then finish the build and off we go. Also hopefully going to make social media work for me🤞👍😁

[@MrTwister86660]

It’s not a “free” HGV driving license, tax payers paid for it. I bet if you’d spent your own money you’d have thought twice. Why didn’t you find day work rather than tramping?

[@Wyldwaines]

It’s the hgv police 😂

[@tgun4928]

My tax goes on a lot worse than his hgv license. He gave it a go and didn’t like it.he tried .
