Wow, the views. But for the rest of the vid was quite negative. There is a big difference between holiday van life and VAN-LIVING. There are people who enjoy living the outdoors, there are those who don’t have the choice. Having a nomadic mind requires strength, acceptance and vigilance, but you get to meet new people, embrace nature and live the life of more freedom and above all being grateful for what is around you and enjoying the simplicity of realness. Not everyone can afford Olive Oil, wine, technology and complain about the weather.
Maybe you should have changed your title to- Living the fancy Vanlife
Didn’t see the point. Didn’t go in depth on van life, for two weeks in a new camper, and wasn’t a travel documentary. Presenter fell into the trap of thinking he had to be a comedian, which he wasn’t!!
Don’t have a clue, it took me two years to do 2,600 miles last year…
Do you have the route would love to travel this route, the views are epic, Many thanks mike
Word fail me on how poor this is — really words do fail me — sorry guys
Very cool
Real van lifers feel free to cringe now
This is a good example of how not to travel in a campervan: unprepared, clueless, and lacking common sense. The filling the water tank they neglected to fill before they set out with a water bottle was a particular “low light”, as was the wet, soaped up mug sliding on the glass stove lid as if that was something unusual or interesting. Such a millennial video.
7 mins in and I get the sense that the guy doesn’t like campervanning and doesn’t do adventure. I mean he won’t even walk across a bloody bridge.
enjoyed the scenery and everything else that went with your luxury van holiday , but that’s not really van life mores the pity !
Love it, We hope to go here one day soon!
I loved you on the inbetweeners 👌🏻
Narrator: we just had to point in the right direction and sit and enjoy the ride.
That’s called driving. Read a book… you may find it helpful.
The guy in the video: it weighs…i don’t k—several tonnes.
Well thnx, you’re giving me precise inofrmation I need.
Mightaswell read the manual of the thing you’re reviewing. It may literally help.
0:26 close your electricity lid firmly!
I wouldn’t say this is vanlife its more a touring holiday for a few weeks. Vanlife is daily life not photography spots.
Yeah how dare they make repairs to that church
Is this an ad? Whatever it is, this video is truly awful.
Shame fella with glasses is a complete plank of wood
You are one DUMBFUCKS.
So many videos discouraging people from van life due to the realities of it. If it’s not for you, it’s not for you. The reason people get into it is to escape the shackles of modern society. That’s the whole point. The financial and societal freedom.
Swear .. If Alan Partridge did a camper review holiday … this is it 🤣🤣🤣✔
Could you share your route please as it looks like a good two week route — thank you 😊
Who sets out on a 2,600 mile journey in a van they have never even boiled water in? much less forgets to fill the water tanks before leaving. Here is a tip, GO CAMPING FIRST. The guy said he was a “tech jouralist”, and can’t even identify a gas strut when he sees one.
I watched a few minutes then left. This is crud.
We are not brave enough to live the van life with our California, but she is the perfect daily driver for us and we have had many happy trip across europe!
Worst Vanlife Video of all time.
10% van 90% your face
What a mess
several times he hyper-corrects for his northern English accent, which he tries unsuccessfully to southernise, saying luck instead of look and tuck instead of took. just saying…
2:32 AHAHAHAHAHAH
Well that was painful, and I only managed to get 5 mins in.
Great video and full of information. I am very interested in getting a van and traveling for a bit. Just wondering how do you find showering and using the loo?
Generally enjoyed the video.
2 weeks? Crazy. You need to take your time, girls.
As you said you’re self. You two are idiots. Video is of no help to learn about Van life!!! Not to mention dorky music! Just a travel log
Too dithering to watch, 20 mins of my life I wont get back
Considering the comments I think the people writing are moaners… Wonderful video, great composition, loved the photographs and enjoyable humour to boot. Cheers. A.,

Cnet, you need to remove this video, its awful. offers no insight into the workings of the van, how to live in it, how to adjust it to suit your life, how to make the most of it. its just a paid for holiday for one of your junior journos and his GF
Lots of salty jealous losers posting negative comments, just don’t watch it if you don’t like it.
How much ?
More 80 000 € !!!! Scandale ! VW not the car of people !!!
excelent Video , nicely done , I hope when retired to get a van and travel all over EU then beyond , i like you do Photos’ and video walking tours for my channel so van life would be excellent for these
Just need to get 10 million subscribers or win the lotto .….. yeah thats never going to happen , ill have to rely on winning the lotto
Amazing
Hi, love your video, going to do a similar trip myself so wondering if you are happy with the size of your van or if you would choose a bigger one if you were to do the trip again today?
Don’t just fill up the kettle fill up all of your water tanks & bottles
you ‘re a complete idiot, you fully missed the point
