Who thinks we should buy a school bus then? 😅🚌 Check out the rest of our UK vlogs here: kzbin.info/aero/PLbTGoy-q-M3-cEGof5GiVR_JEj5FZPPBO

[@timgrossmann5898]

I think it would be cool. You would have enough room to have a shower and toilet in their own space.

[@sandrabutcher1961]

Yes definately you guys should buy a school bus next

[@duckypam]

So much money for gas and unending expense repairs on a bus. As long as you don’t care 🤷‍♀️

[@shaneunknowndoesyoutube3869]

Love this! will and David both legends

[@CharliePauly]

Agreed! Good guys!

[@RoamingRadfords]

I’m sure there is a masher in the van!!!

[@CharliePauly]

Haha we're on the instant mash from now on!

[@BohemianBeatster]

I was nice to see those old American school buses converted into camper. Old school buses of all sizes in the 1960's and early 70's use to be turned into Hippie Campers, most painted up with psychedelic colors throughout the bus inside and out. Some of the designs were quite inventive, and ready to house many trippy hippies for road trips. By the way, loved your vlog as always. You two are a breath of fresh air.

[@CharliePauly]

Haha sounds interesting! Not sure it's our vibe but would definitely love to convert a bus and rent it out! Thanks for the support on the vlogs!

[@wobbleboxadventures]

Was an amazing weekend. Was great to meet you guys 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿👍🏻

[@CharliePauly]

Thanks mate. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@phillyandkeely]

I wouldn't have been able to resist that Pikachu ahhaa. Loved the video and checking out everyone's pads. You have great energy in this video 🤙🤙

[@CharliePauly]

Haha honestly, not sure how we left without it! Thanks a lot guys, glad you're enjoying it!

[@terrydarby164]

Wow what a brilliant weekend can’t wait for the next one well enjoy the meeting everybody

[@CharliePauly]

Cheers Terry! It was an awesome weekend. Roll on next summer for more van meets!

[@grahamball7243]

Haha Charlie good job you didn't have a live comments section as you were doing the van tours. I think many people would have been saying "where's Lauren" " is Lauren ok" "when's Lauren coming back" like every other comment when you were fitting out the van 😁 It was funny she suddenly disappeared as you were doing the tours. It must have taken a long time to film the van tour sections so when Lauren said she'd only been asleep for five minutes it made me think that she must have been round the stalls and no doubt fallen in love with a dozen dogs along the way 🤔 Charlie, Steve, Darren and Will. Not quite the Magnificent Seven more like as Steve would put it the Fantastic Four. Haha prime candidates for the Rogues Gallery if you ask me 😁 All in jest as you know because they are all a wonderful set of friends. If only your dad had taught you how to play guitar you could have been entertaining your friends at your evening get togethers with you strumming along whilst Lauren melts the heart of everyone with her beautiful singing voice 🙉 I'm sure they would love to hear her rendition of Cotton-Eye Joe 🏃‍♀️🏃🏃‍♀️🏃🏃‍♀️🏃🎤👩🏼 Graham

[@CharliePauly]

Haha I know right, poor girl can't even have a sleep! True, maybe her 'sleep' was an opportunity to shop the markets stands! I see a new youtube channel in the pipelines here, I'm sure people would tune in to see the lads on tour haha! Hahaaa sure cotton eyed joe would go down well at the next camp fire!

[@jaspercox1264]

Great to meet you both at the show and say hello!

Another great video as always, keep up the good work. I think a school bus would be fun if you have room for it. Can't wait for the Wales tour 😊👍.

[@CharliePauly]

Thanks so much! Haha yes will definitely look into the bus and a bit of land I think. Fingers crossed we can get around Wales before it gets too cold!

[@sandihandi7831]

Oh this was neat. To bad the weather turned to rain, but that's summer for you. My family camped in a trailer and we loved it. Meet so many neat people and so much fun. Lots of memories stored up. Great to see familiar faces such as David. I follow him allot too. Take care you two and travel safe and keep on having fun.

[@CharliePauly]

[@CharliePauly]

Ah thanks a lot Margaret! Agreed, the whole weekend was just a blast and full of everything we love!

[@grahamball7243]

Absolutely loved the tour of the other people's homes. I'm loving these shows and meet up with friends. Honestly Charlie your tour of the homes was so well done. Ah yes Charlie & Lauren in a school bus that would be great. We will have to set up a funding page. Haha I'm glad you kept your word to us cat lovers that they would put in an appearance. I know you said you weren't interested in an awning but Steve proved the benefit of having one when it was raining. Loved your get together to have food. Will is like a sniffer dog when it comes to food. Would love to see you two do a Summer tour of Spain and Portugal in Wanderer in the future. Graham

[@CharliePauly]

We're getting around a bit aren't we! Absolutely love nosing in other peoples vans though. Haha a GoFundMe for Charlie & Lauren's school bus! Yes, the tour of Tash and John's motorhome was mainly for you Graham! Agreed, the awnings definitely come in handy although still want to keep that stealth look for now. That would be awesome wouldn't it!

[@RobLandroverAdventures]

[@waynewaring]

Loved it! Fantastic to see all those lovely vans. Lauren's cooking is miles better than any takeaway I bet! What a star she is! Great to see the legend David (vandamonium). He's nearly as famous as you two. 😁

[@CharliePauly]

Definitely loving all these van meet ups lately! Haha she does a good job doesn't she! Haha when it comes to narrowboats though he knock us out the water 😅

[@hallaboard8154]

Absolutely brilliant vlog, we laughed a lot at the banter you all have. Lauren the legend with her culinary skills, Will managing to get fed for free, again, Daz & his general silliness and Steve grinning from ear to ear. A shame we weren’t able to visit you and say Hi! when we only live down the road but hopefully we’ll see you on van meets when we purchase some wheels in the not too distant future - woohoo! X

[@CharliePauly]

Haha glad you enjoyed it! Lauren's always keeping us all full up bless her! Yes fingers crossed for your own van journey and maybe catch you at the next one!

[@yaminthegrey]

Hari OM What a great event - the community vibe comes right across... and as I've been hooked into watching so many van vids of late, many of these faces are now familiar! I finally hit the subs button here, guys - this old gal' appreciates some frenetic energy to brighten the week!!! YAM xx

[@CharliePauly]

Ah glad it comes across through the video because it really is a great community to be a part of! Ah love to hear it, thanks a lot Yamini!

[@CharliePauly]

Haha cheers Tim, you're always welcome at the next one!

[@TXMEDRGR]

You two in a camper crossing America would be epic. If it happens, please do a meet and greet with fans. I'll bring my Basset Hound to meet Lauren. P.S. my wife is a former British citizen and can translate my Southern accent to Brit for you.

[@CharliePauly]

Haha sounds like a deal! Would absolutely love to do that trip and I’m sure with the determination we could make it happen! 🙌🏼

[@deaddave8805]

We are so sorry that we didn't know you were there. It would have been great to say hello. We were camped there for the weekend and even roamed along the 'KZbin Village' to meet Ads and Zoe, and Rob and Lynn. What a great weekend it was though guys. Dave and Sophie xx

Ah legend! Thanks for stopping by! Haha we were so exhausted we ended up coming back to the boat!

[@jayneoakley888]

Loved your idea about tour of California, you should think about including Nevada too that way you would get to enjoy the big cities of San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Palm Springs and Las Vegas, the beaches, wilderness and the desert all in one trip. We have done it in a car but it’s my dream to get a 12 month visa and ship a van over. You 2 are a great example of how to turn a thought into a dream, then making it happen. 😍

[@CharliePauly]

Oh absolutely, the dream would just be to road trip across the states completely haha. Aw that's so nice to hear. 100% we will make it happen one day!
