THE FREEDOM OF A CAMPERVAN! Solo Female Van Life UK - Life After Loss
Ahead of a longer van escape next week, I grabbed the opportunity of a quick overnighter with friends down in Staffordshire at a great little campsite:
Red Lion Farm Campsite, Haughton, Stafford
redlionfarm.co...
It was my first trip with the new wheels on too. I've switched to 17" alloys from the old 16" steelies and to general grabber AT typres. I'm amazed at the difference they've made, not just aesthetically but the driving experience too.

Hi, I’m Sue from Lancashire, UK.
This channel is just me getting out and about in a converted VW Campervan, occasionally with friends but mostly solo. Fun, laughs, moans, groans, mistakes, and successes. It’ll all be in here!
I’ll share new places, hints, tips, any info I discover and whatever else I think you might find useful.
I began vlogging my solo travels in ‘Vanya’, to help me re-engage with life following the sudden, tragic loss of my husband nearly 3 years ago now. Working through a very complex grief has been the hardest & loneliest challenge imaginable. Some days it still knocks me completely sideways and probably always will. I really don't know. All I do know is that life can change forever and irreversibly in an instant.
By returning to the vanlife we had enjoyed so much together & embracing a new found love of video creation and vlogging, I’m continuing to build strength and balance to move forward through this completely unforeseen and unwanted next chapter of life.
Thanks for joining me. The company is nice.
Sue x

Hi. I lost my fella a year and a half ago. I’ve been away about six times in my micro camper, just me and the dog. I’m in wales now on a site, it’s the first time I’ve driven without crying my eyes out. I will never forget him. ONWARD ☺️ x

Hi Angela, I’m sorry for your own loss. Great to hear that you’ve got back out there again though and the progress at not driving through tears. It’s hard. I hear you completely, it’s such a relief when it starts getting easier. I found the loneliness on the first few trips crushing until I adapted. Bet your dog is a godsend on these trips. Enjoy Wales, great weather for you. Best wishes, Sue ❤️

Hi Sue, lovely to see you back on the road. I have finally, after an extended delayed wait of about 20 months, taken delivery of my Ford Transit Custom campervan. Have almost lost my confidence after all this time, but must make myself get out in it. Seeing you keeping on, makes me determined to do the same. Also going to copy your tradition of ‘having a drink for Bri’ by ‘having a drink for Ian’ wherever I can. Looking forward to the summer, take care Jane

The River 2 is a gamechanger for us after using a traditional leisure battery for years. 2 phones, 2 tablets, intermittent charging our little cooler box from Friday to Monday still 16% with just one extra charge from the van cigarette socket on a 30 mile trip. Plus dinky size and lightweight as per your review. It's good to see things in a woman's hands! Also ordered the 160 W solar panel. Only arrived 2 days before we went and when we opened the box no connecting cable, buy separately, £25! Did order through Argos as wanted click and collect, not deliver to home. That didn't work out, hmm. Wonder if you get the cable if you buy together direct from Ecoflow.

I had a big shock. The wheels that are fitted to our van are £500 each and it doesn't include the rubber tyres. 😢

Welcome back. Love the new wheels (and the hair). Just wondering with all that rain do you have to dry off the pop top before lowering it again?

Hi, thank you. The rain stopped in the night and it was sunshine the next day so nothing, not even the screen cover, was wet when packing up. There is an overhang on the pop top so the canvas itself rarely gets wet unless rain is blowing directly onto it. I’ve never had to put it down wet. If I ever did I’d just make sure I stuck it back up as soon as I could afterwards for a proper dry out.

“Divorce in a bag” 🤣🤣🤣 I can imagine you with a small holding. That hen was so funny. Love Guinea Fowl. Did it keep you awake with its rapid machine gun fire squawking? Looked a lovely site and the sun the next day was bliss ❤
