You were such a cute young couple. I like the way you are kind to each other now!

[@candacemeifert-polk7383]

I so enjoy seeing you two travel. In a way you remind me of my parents back when they traveled all over the world so many years ago. I for one, feel that regardless of your past careers, you are both teachers, since you educate us on the history of the various places you visit. I appreciate that since I have never been to the UK. Thank you for sharing your life and great pictures of younger years and present lives!

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Thank you Candace for your lovely comment. We love watching videos from people all over the world and learning about other countries too. We appreciate your support and kind words 🙂❤️

[@SouthFloridaThrifter]

This was AMAZING!! CAROL WAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BRIDE 👑!! & Ken the dashing man of law enforcement!! Of course, both still stunning as ever👍. Explained so much: Carol's spread sheet aptitude, Ken's observational skills with concurrent narration(VO i know, but so smooth it seems real time) deducing what's going on. & the Harmony isn't magic; it's logical behaviors, & simple courtesy & respect. Well, and I do see a bit of magic as well 🪄❤️. Ah, if only all partners would learn the other's triggers and AVOID them, as opposed to using them as a weapon. Just the most wonderful video. Thank you so much for sharing! 🌞

Trouble with an electric vehicle is the battery. The co2 produced in production of battery is very high. To charge an electric vehicle is also mainly charged by fossil fuel power stations. Making the E vehicle environment unfriendly

The French look upon Caravans as the homes of Gens de Voyage or to the English as Gypsies !! Hence you buy a motorhome . The further south you go in France the more this is the situation. Thank you for your interesting videos.

Sound advice Kieran. The bigger it is the more stuff you take and the more hassle you have on the road. We have been there and made those mistakes 👍

Hi John. Thanks for watching and your lovely comment. When I was in the police you could retire after 30 years service so if you joined at age 18 you could retire at 48 😀

[@runtothesun]

Listening to this is very familiar, I have worked in the NHS ambulance service for the last 33 years for SECAmb (paramedic/operational commander level although me being an old hand still slip up and call it bronze!) and I guess I am about 5 years behind the both of you retiring in the next 5 years. My wife worked for BA at Heathrow T4 (now a registered nurse at an acute hospital after completing her BSc Hon in her 40's!) we are looking at motorhomes and your videos are a great inspiration and insight. Stay safe

[@LifeistooshortCK]

Different blue light but the same challenges so I have a good feeling for what it must be like. All the best from me for those final years. Quite a change for your wife and good for her to achieve that. Its a big decision on which vehicle to choose but you have plenty of time to study the field. KZbin is a great resource for that. 👍

[@angiedodd3016]

I guessed correctly that you were in the police ! The reason is your talk on safely parking your van. I'm a bloody genius !! I loved the tips and I also bought a NV 200 and love it! Not as posh as yours but just a van for me to kip in on a long journey to France. Bought a big dog and a good tip is to have a can of hornet spray in the van and leave an old pair of men's boots size 13 outside the door of a night lol great vids

Hi Alan. We had an Eriba Puck L 230GT 2005-2007 and an Eriba Troll 552GT 2007-2011, both from Lechlade. We tried to get a water ingress problem in our Troll fixed at AL Poole but they weren’t interested, probably because we didn’t buy the caravan from them! Glad you are enjoying the videos 🙂👍

[@pauls3930]

Really love watching you two. You are right relaxing right watch .. nosey question sorry …. I am a massive caravan geek and love it, since getting the little red van have you ever missed the space of the caravan ? Envious of the freedom of the little red van but don’t know if I would miss space

[@LifeistooshortCK]

You would definitely miss the space and all the lovely things like Alde heating which is mostly silent. We left caravans as we had 2 Baileys where the axle dropped and we had started watching KZbin videos about van lifers. We took the plunge and ordered the NV200 specifically as we wanted to be super mobile and to be able to park anywhere. Huge risk as we couldn’t hire one to see if we liked it. Luckily for us the freedom it brings has proved more important than the comfort. Beware though that if you get unlucky with the weather like we did on the next series (starting Friday 8th April) things are more challenging in a small van. Our advice is hire a van first to make sure you like it.

Love the atmosefare... and I love to do planning of trips altough my hubby likes that a bit to... and most of the time we are a bit impulsive. We love our tiny caravan a burstner 410m. We do a lot of freecamping i Norway and Sweden. Maybe itis easier here. We think a bit oppsiteof you when it comes to reasening for or against a camperwan ormotorhome. We do look at them.

We get to know you and you don’t really know us. On your travels you might get people treating you like best friends and you’re wondering ‘Who is this’!!! haha! Oh Carol - it made me smile that you turned him down after 6 months and he made you wait 3 years before asking again!!!!! Anyway it all turned out well and you both come over as well tuned into each others needs. Thank you for sharing that time with us all and if I ever come across you on my travels I’ll say hello. Today I get my camper van - delivery was delayed because of COVID-19 and a shutdown at the converters due to illness. Take care.

What a lovely chat from you n carol. I think carol n I would get on great on kitchen experiments, as I do lots of homemade kitchen stuff. Mike (from wee brown van) every time I here his voice makes me want to enjoy a wee shot of my Scottish whiskey. I loved the Hebrides series. It would have been my 7th vacation to Scotland this year, but due to COVID, had to cancel. I live in a very beautiful state of Wisconsin,but I love visiting your country through your videos

Thanks for sharing this video! I love listening to people's stories and it helps us get to know you both better. Adding the photos made it even more interesting. I will consider this my first lesson in video story telling, something I really need to practice. When I was searching for a van and someone to do the camper conversion, a Nissan NV200 was at the top of my list but after adding in the conversion cost, my budget ranked it differently.😮 The budget is the ultimate decision-maker, right?

Thanks for watching Annie, glad you enjoyed the video. I guess you are right, the budget will massively affect the decision on which vehicle to go for 👍🙂
