Subscribe to our vlog to see the final leg of our 2-week journey where we travel to a quirky city campsite in Chester.
❓ Who we are?
We are a family of 4, escaping city life for adventures in the countryside. We use our van as a daily drive, to extend a day out and for family holidays.
We have a T5 VW 2004 campervan ready converted when we bought it but have added lots since buying it.
We try to do videos of products we use in our van, how we use our van with a family and instructional videos.
We sometimes bring the “support vehicle!” see here - bit.ly/3zJ4XD1

Nosy neighbors...you come out, your campsite neighbors come out and question you, lol. Guess you can run into those types anywhere in the world!

Top video again keep it up 👍👍

[@CarolynGreen-xc3fr]

Hi, where did you get the box for your campervan toilet. We have a Thetford toilet in a cupboard in our van, total waste of space! Thanks csrolyn

[@vanlifegoodies]

Hi , for my toilet bucket I use this ( this is my Amazon shop - look in the “washing “ section) www.amazon.co.uk/shop/vanlifegoodies These boxes come in all colours and sizes and are lightweight but strong enough to sit on . Hope that helps Thanks for watching 👍

[@countryvanlifeuk]

Great vlog guys I’m a little confused ! With the high quality of edit/footage and content You should ??? Have more following ? Keep up great work ATB Stephen.

[@vanlifegoodies]

[@countryvanlifeuk]

“You build it They will Come” 👍

[@malphotography953]

Hi, really enjoy your channel. Would love a van similar to what you have. Love your videos, great editing, content and music. What do you use to record your videos? Keep it up. 👌👍

[@vanlifegoodies]

MAL Photography Thankyou so much for your encouragement. I have an iPhone 11 for filming and edit on iMovie . I’ve learnt ( and still learning ) everything from utube . Actually really enjoying the process . Hope you can get your dream one day . 👍

[@CarolynGreen-xc3fr]

Sorry, another question, can you use the loo while still in the amazon box?

[@vanlifegoodies]

Yes absolutely- the toilet I have is a bucket with a toilet seat and lid - I literally take the box lid off , lift the toilet seat up and use the loo . There is enough room down the side for loo roll and toilet solution . It’s really easy to move about the van and can still be used when the bed is down .
