Emotional watching that and it’s not even my motorhome 🤣🤣

[@1616Six]

That very end clip of you talking.. too true, beautiful ✌️

[@andrewmynott694]

Darren, will you be updating to your stickers / merch to your new motorhome ? 😊

[@lerryn4837]

Darren, I've said this before...You so inspired us to get a motorhome, for which we thank you. Love your new MH....please please buy yourself a Diary and track all the lovely places you stop, stay and visit. It's great to look back on and remember. I know you have video but some times it's nice to add somethings to your memories. Wishing you all the VERY BEST....Happy Travels ❣

[@pageant1fd]

Life is like a book mate, you are about to start another chapter. Best wishes and thanks for sharing.

[@vincentandalain]

Hello Darran. New chapter.... you're now released of this task and Peter seems to be such a nice person too. I would like to tell you I feel like for a few time and especially in this video all the progression in the quality of video edition. The construction of the story, the flashbacks moments, the stinger, the way you use the camera...Well done ! I'm looking forward to seeing your new adventure all around Europe as well ! Hugs xxx Vince

[@isobelchapman9548]

Now that’s a grand vlog…thank you for sharing. Many more adventures await.

[@0730Media]

Your enthusiasm for what you do is so infectious, it’s just fantastic to watch, and the reason we all come back, weekly, to watch your adventures. Next job….you need to change your van graphic at the beginning of your vids 🤣🤣😁

[@sueb8270]

😢 that must have tugged the heart strings, but now to make the new one your own! 🎉

[@mattiaslindstrom1137]

Have the best times in your new home.

[@Dettol68]

Thanks Daz, loved this video - so you know, I am buying a new motorhome in May and I am going to buy from Oaktree - because of you! Cheers fella.

[@cdunphy457]

[@mars2100]

Top Man Darren, onwards and upwards

[@El-Tel63-Terry.]

I don't often comment, but your final piece to the camera is so true. Enjoy your new life and motorhome, Darran. I have absolutely no doubt you will, all the best.

[@Mevi]

When I was digging through Daz's video backups to put together the montage, I came across that clip. He recorded it shortly after lockdown was lifted, but it feels every bit as relevant now.

[@El-Tel63-Terry.]

@Mevi Yes, I knew it was an older clip, but very appropriate. Nice to hear from you Mevi 😉👍🏻

[@anthonynagle]

Any chance that your buddy Shane would do a few videos on valet a motorhome, washing the outside and re-seling etc. He really impressed and I for one would love to watch them and get some tips !

[@UKvet246]

You sir are so happy and it's infectious, here's hoping the new chapter in your life is filled with the same happiness.

[@markwhitehead64]

You've both done a great job! When you were in the old motorhome, did it feel really small? After being in your new home, do you now wonder how you managed for 6 years? Really looking forward to the videos coming out in the new motorhome 💕

Absolutely my fav channel, very real authentic way of filming and looking forward to watching every upload. I would love to experience what you are doing! Keep up the good work! You should add a PayPal donation link as I would donate! Best wishes, David

[@mattwestby1169]

Just finished watching after doing a 12hr shift delivering to co op, I bet you're not going to miss them hours are you Daz? 😂. Watching your look back over different videos made my eyes water, 6yrs is along time and now you've let her go.... Its like a girlfriend going back to an ex🤣🤣 pete is a lucky man at least he knows all the history and he's got a good deal there. Shane did a cracking job on the clean up, tell him I'm bringing my car round for him. All the best mate, I can't wait to follow your next chapter 👍🍻🍻

[@sarahfox9180]

It's always sad when something good comes to an end. The future is going to be even more exciting, can't wait to see more and follow your adventures x

Debs and Mark xx

[@UHfishingshane]

hiya , hope your well ,thanks for the nice comments 🫶🏻

[@wanderinwilds]

@@UHfishingshane hey Shane great job you did it would have taken me days to do that silicone any tips apart from wet finger across the top when you’ve done it ?! 🤣🤣 just read that back and it sounds wrong on too many levels 🙈🤪🤣🤣

[@UHfishingshane]

@@wanderinwilds wet finger across sounds great 😂🤣😂 I’ve got to say I’ve done it years so plenty of practice but I use a tar a glue remover on my finger to smooth places off and don’t use to much sealant,people cake it on and it’s not needed , hope this helps , take care 👌

[@wanderinwilds]

@@UHfishingshane brill thanks for the tip Shane 👍 TFR would that work ? You too, hopefully we will bump into you sometime this year 😃 wish I could say it was to buy a Frankia 🤣🤣 that may have to wait a couple of years 🙏🤣🤣

[@louisesymonds9963]

I was ok until the end, now I can’t type for tears! Go safely Darren, you are an inspiration and I wish you the world of luck and endless possibilities. Where are my tissues?! X

[@nannylinda03]

I'm glad to see it wasn't just me balling my eyes out at the end 😭

Good video on channel thanks lee

[@katiejackson8862]

Are you or have you transferred the number plate to your new motorhome? I still wonder hoow parh ups in urban areas will go in the huge new one? Good luck Darran

[@Sam-mb1yk]

Darran you deserve all the success you've grafted for. I wonder if you added together all the chicken and bacon you've cooked in that van, if it weighs as much as the van 🤠 onwards and upwards bud. Take us with you ❤

[@paulpowell1259]

How emotional, but the new journey begins.

[@kelsvlogs52]

I thought that was Pete Burrel in the drivers seat 😅

[@paulopenshaw1914]

Well done fella.👍. Cracking job by your mate. Could you tell me the prep work for re sealing.. As in cleaner's used and which sealant? Thanks 👍

[@Mevi]

Down in these comments somewhere, I believe he used white Sikaflex for the sealant.

[@Averagewelshdad]

Good morning, cheers for the vids mate very useful. Question? What would you recommend for a young family of 4 as a first motor home

[@justkidding9751]

It's great to see you so happy, buddy. However, I did notice you look like you suffer with a little bit of psoriasis. I had this really bad, and as it's an auto immune condition, I got treatments off my doctor for 20+ years, and some of the creams I had to use when it was really bad contained nasty steroids. My doctor always told me there was no cure for psoriasis, only treatments. After researching it myself, I soon realised this condition is mainly caused by a vitamin D3 defiency AKA the sunshine Vitamin. Because we live in the Northern Hemisphere, most of the population will suffer this defiency. it's just worse for some than others. I took high doses of 20 x 4,000 units per day and documented my condition, and it was cured in 33 days. Once all signs of the condition had gone, I reduced my intake until it showed signs of returning. I then knew what level of defiency I had. 2 years on, I still have no signs of psoriasis, and my personal intake of D3 is 15 tablets of 4,000 units per day. You can't overdose on D3, and it doesn't become toxic when taken in high volumes . This also works for other auto-immune conditions, and I urge everyone to do the research because doctors only want to seem to treat symptoms rather than cure. When I asked my doctor why this was the case, he did admit it we should all be on vitamin D3. So good luck with your new full-time time adventures, and I look forward to seeing what the future holds for you.

[@mp180170]

Thanks for sharing this great advice I’ve definitely going to get some cheers 🍻

[@johnsupertramp1087]

What did u seal the old van with? Looked real smart

[@UHfishingshane]

It was a white sikafex mate 👍

[@lackofdubs5975]

Does the new home have reverse sensors darren? I see a load of delivery vans with those bug t-bars at the back like your motorhome has and they have parking/reverse sensors on them. Maybe that's a option?

[@Mevi]

I don't think there was footage showing the dual reverse cameras. One points straight back, the other points down at the bumper.

[@RickandHeather]

Cobs = hard/Baps = soft anything else in the sea.

[@markbradley9725]

I know you said you had all electrical work done in the new van. What electric has the old one gone with. Is it sorted or need to be done. Great video as always.

[@Mevi]

The Sundance went with all of the upgrades Daz had done to it. Lithium, solar, etc.

[@swivelclip]

Does Shane do this for a living? I could do with a seal and valet.

Did i see your new motorhome parked next to bob earnshaw at the yorkshire motorhome show , on his last vid .

[@TheUrbanMotorhome]

You sure did! Good spot! 👍🏻😊

[@platypushatstand]

Cleaning Sundance to pass it on just means you’re house proud and there’s nothing wrong with that.

[@PD-gu5jt]

Anyone know what sort of bike Darren has?, I didn't see it listed in the comments and with quick scan through the video's that I still have to watch I don't see anything obviously listed.

[@riboid]

Mind the methylated spirits before applying any sealant.
