Good job on your first vlog. Keep up the good work.

[@TheMalibuHobo]

Good job getting out into it, good luck & have fun!

[@philsagar2373]

hello, the warning light will be from the led bulbs, they have a different voltage to normal ones, so can throw a fault error, as long as it's working will be ok, but if you need to mot the van at any time it could be a failure. propane gas is better for the van too, heats up quicker than butane, and will work at much colder temps, where butane can freeze up. enjoy your advantures.

[@Mar.lavender]

@@philsagar2373 aaaa makes so much sense! Thank you ☺️

[@robchin-yue6667]

Good first vlog. Quite fancy you tbh lol! Good luck on your travels, keep it up! 👍❤

break light and a back camera with wireless movable LCD panel that can be used even when the vehicle is on the road so you can see who's behind you plus it is a good security measure when parked in an unsecure location.

[@johnnymoore943]

Awesomesauce mad respect from Canada 🇨🇦 I think 15 minutes is sweet spot but you do you..

[@simonsimons1103]

Good job with the vlog . I enjoyed it. Have fun in Europe.

[@MarraJack]

Ive fitted LED bulbs on my van and it shows up a warning light on the dash, I’ve been told it’s quite common - aslong as the bulbs are working I don’t pay too much attention to it 😂. Nice video, that wrap actually sounds decent lol, best of luck with your travels 👍

[@Mar.lavender]

@@MarraJack ah sounds about right I thought it was something like that! Thank you ☺️

[@Jonbuildz]

I dont have a break light at the top of my door 2009 sprinter LWB camper ... check your bulb reg light at the back! Or if you have LED's they are none standard and therefore can raise a fault on your dash... nothing to worry about! What paint did you use? I put raptor on mine but yours looks really neat.

[@Mar.lavender]

Aaaa makes sense! Thank you for letting me know 😊

[@tomatogoduk]

You're a natural! Looking forward to seeing the adventures 🙂

[@Mar.lavender]

@@tomatogoduk thank you ☺️

That Steering lock is a waste of time , get a van disc lock which covers full steering wheel , also if you don't have already a pedal lock . Enjoy your adventures ;)

[@Grizzly_Omen77]

[@daleclarke977]

Hi, glad I caught your first vlog. Looking forward to more. 15 to 20 minutes I think but if you have lots of content then why not longer 👍 hope your channels grows.

[@bradlock76]

Wow that shower room is pretty cool, I like that 🌝 what kind of cladding is that inside, it's like granite, its lovely.. I'm about to start my shower build once this weather improves a little bit... ✊

[@Mar.lavender]

@@bradlock76 thanks! I love my shower now didn’t always look like that… it’s Lino, I would recommend it! You can see how I did it in on of my last videos ☺️

[@graemecrabb4760]

Just found your channel Mara and I'm really enjoying the content I could watch for ages , but if you're unsure how long to make your videos just watch some other van lifers videos or even ask them what videos do better on KZbin long ones or short ones I'm looking forward to seeing some more of your vlogs x

[@Mar.lavender]

@@graemecrabb4760 thank you ☺️

[@Hazel-df9li]

I hope you make longer videos..

[@MrIstvanc]

I'm looking forward to seeing your travels in mainland Europe. I think about 15 min videos would be nice. It's not too long but gives you time to include enough content. Propane is better in winter because it becomes a gas at a lower temperature then butane.

[@Mar.lavender]

@@MrIstvanc thank you! I’ll take that feedback on board… I’m so excited to show you all what I get up to! That explains so much… it was working fine until I came back to England.

[@remconl85]

@@Mar.lavender Also propane has a higher calorific value, giving more energy than butane, and therefore it burns hotter

[@steviede8392]

I think with van life vlogs, longer content is preferred. Somewhere between 30-45 mins per vlog is ideal

[@PaulTurvene]

That accent ❤

[@Vwdub1]

Just one word watch that curtain near your hob looks close to hob in your vlog 👍

[@HowToSaveMoneyOnCarRepairs]

Why did you Buy such a Big van. Older Vans tend to be high milage vehicles that often to break down...! How will you deal with this on your travels, repair bills post covid are very high...! 🤔🤔😇😇

[@Mar.lavender]

@@HowToSaveMoneyOnCarRepairs I wanted a bigger van because I’ve had a medium wheel base and it just wasn’t giving me the space I needed… it is a very high mileage van but luckily I’m pretty good a fixing things… usually saves me a lot of money on labour 😊

[@matthewvaughan6327]

Yay! I’ve never been at the birth of a new vanlife vlog before😀 The centre 3rd brake light should be there, just above the doors. It might have been taken off for previous paintwork and not put back. Are there any holes for screws or wires? If there’s no wires inside, you can connect to one of the main brake light wires and either fit an aftermarket one on the roof or even in the back door window. I think 10 minutes long is the sweet spot for vlogs but check what’s best for KZbin algorithms.

[@Mar.lavender]

@@matthewvaughan6327 birth of a new Vanlife vlog 😂 thanks so much for watching, might have to look into that…

I see you are wearing a wedding ring if you are married how are you going to be living in a van doing van life, where is your husband

[@paulwright1368]

I think a nice 1st vlog. Video quality was good, audio was good. Try to look at the lens on the camera, I suspect you may be looking at the display screen. Length of video is up to you and how long you can spare to producing it from your footage. People will always watch you for as much content as you can provide, I assume most of your viewers (and not the gawpers) are here to follow your experiences, the ups and downs, the victories and failures, and will follow you on your journey and support you. Plus, many will also be wanting to learn how to vanlife, learn from your mistakes and gain on your wins. So just do you, be you, and you go girl. Most importantly, have fun, and be safe.

[@Mar.lavender]

@@paulwright1368 thank you so much! Yeah I have a habit of doing that 🤣 such nice feedback 😊

[@KevSmith-v4u]

Looking forward to following your channel, can I just lend a piece of advice? Please don't follow the lead of far too many other female KZbinrs and start resorting to click bait, and in particular don't fall into the trap of using your body and sexuality to sell your channel, again far too many female van lifers dress provocatively to attract subscriptions. Just be yourself, you are charming enough not to need to cheapen yourself. Happy New Year and eagerly awaiting your future travel vlogs.
