❤️ brilliant ! Not a van lifer, too old, too scaredy-cat. But motorhomer ( part time, cats, barn owl, koi don’t travel so well 😳) Replace immediately ( under £50 ) cotton duvet covers, not sweaty in summer, cozy in the cold. Replace immediately ( unlimited ) ecoflow… don’t wanna be tied to crowds. Never replace…. Cheap plastic cutlery 😂 And …. I have a question? ( the drive away awning … been there, done that ! 😳🙄😑🥴) but why don’t van peoples do Quest pop up houses ? 2 minutes, outside space ! … I love ours! Supper outside in the rain, and wind ! No hassle 😊😊😊x I could watch two hours of things , ideas and experiences! Thank you so much ! X

Under £50 - Seatbelt clip lead that clips into the passenger seatbelt buckle for the dog - 3 bucks from ebay. Over £50 - This is actually under £50 but I haven't got one over £50 so thought I'd have two under. So a faux leather ottoman from Dunelm for 10 sheets. Hides the emergency Thetford porta potti 335 perfectly and doubles up as an extra seat or a footstool. Wouldn't buy again - Cheap set of knives and forks etc from Tesco, only a couple of quid but they bend when you use them.

Great video - a few ideas here! My 3 items… under £50 - Emma pillow - great nights sleep. Unlimited buy again - nighthawk modem - brilliant! Never buy again - roll down projector screen - I’ve got a frame one now which is soooo much better

Good to see you back again mate . take care

Under £50 - suction cup so I can secure the door open even if windy Unlimited - drone (if Sue would let me) Get rid - awning. Like one of your interviewees we are rarely anywhere long enough for the faff of putting it up. 😊

Great video. Interesting to hear such a wide variety of opinions.

Yeah it’s always great to get a mix of people involved 👍🏼

Would replace the Ridge monkey every time, if you've never had bacon from a Ridge monkey, you don't know what you've missed, use ours almost every day, delicious full English very tasty 😋

Hi Daz 👍 just us 2saying hi and thanks again for sharing this video update 👍 great to see you back on here 👍 den and sue 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Awesome Vlog some great items in there to get and not have.

Great video idea. Interesting answers.

Hey there Daz, Great to have you back. I found this really useful. I still haven't got my van yet - but I bought one of those twin tub washing machines as the Mrs loves to wash. But as you said - where do you get all the water from? Especially warm water. Used it once, in the house as a test! It has been in storage the last few years! Cheers Chas

Very informative.

God Dammit Darren, this vid popped up in my notifications an hour after I bought the Total Cool system lol 🤢🤮 Great vid by the way 😃👍🏻

Awesome video thank you

3 great questions. A very unique way of getting plenty of interesting and fun replies. & I agree with many of them. I never installed a roof rack (never will install anything on my roof) No awning either. Birky filter is Gold. Fridge/Freezer of course. eBikes Rock. Chairs naturally. Kettle & pour-over coffee device.

Brilliant content 👍🏼 🚐

Under £50 - kettle Unlimited - my maxxair fan. Especially during this heatwave. Wouldn’t buy - ball catches for the cupboards. Can never adjust them correctly. Either the doors flap or I can’t get them open without swinging off them like a gorilla.

That was a well useful video 👍

Hi daz Glad to have you back mate , hope your well and staying stealth safely pal 👍 Great video pal and some interesting questions and answers , love the channel , all the best ❤️🙏

Helpful👍

Yes to replacing my kettle, my jackery for a more expensive keeper and for not replacing - the cadac

The filtration system sounds interesting. I was thinking I could change my life when I bought a ridge monkey. I think I don't need one now haha. Kettle? I'm a skin flint so I boil the water I need for tea. For this I use my titanium pans (I just love them) and cup in which I warm the milk for coffee. No wasted heat. Next is my little finger which gives me the perfect temperature and doesn't need batteries. Then my small moka coffee pot. Don't need? Nothing really.

we've missed you the 2 months welcome back, great idea in this vlog, one thing I'd change is the crap dealships tell newbies what very will need, the rubbish we got when we start don't ask LOL best idea is the silicone folding washing up bowls, buckets and both types of kettles, not matter the size of your camper or motorhome you never have much storage space in side

Simple idea for a video, but such a useful resource Darren, well done 👍👏👏

Good video Daz. Hope to see you at show. Our biggest issue is the cadac cost 230 but it’s a bit of a pain as heavy, gets in the way and tricky to clean.

Great video with some handy do’s and don’ts. Brings back memories of that scorching hot weekend 🥵

Under £50 tefal non stick pan amazing! Unlimited solar panels Thing I wouldn’t replace probably the usb blender I’ve only used it once and that was to test it

Once I get to living that life, I’ll let you know.

Good to see you back. X under electric frying pan thingy with lid, low wattage great both hooked up and using our solar. Over Truma boiler for heat and water. Get rid, ginormous air awning, hope to use it on a long stay sometime somewhere abroad.

My favourite thing is my remarkable I cook everything in it £140. Under £50 kettle and water carrier

Under £50 my little toaster oven. Over £50 my fridge. Wouldn't buy again, the awning that I used once in a slight breeze and one of the poles bent and tore a hole in it. Not used it since.

Hi can you ask radfords what awning is and would it fit van conversion Renault master

Hi Daz loved this vlog. Things under £50 would be debs is the kettle mine is flexi waste support metal pegs. Unlimited money both agree a full isabella awning. And finally we would not replace or recommend is the cheap portable air conditioning unit debs choice and mine would be cheap rock pegs as probably bent over 100 just to save a couple of quid, c u in bit 👍

What do you think about these Jackery portable power packs (or similar) ?? Whilst expensive (ish) the 1000 model packs a big punch ??

Hi Colin take a look at my new video, there’s a new brand on the market that blow jackery away! kzread.info/dash/bejne/eXWCtdOdl8qoZrA.html

Hi Daz great to see you back again , The first thing if it broke tomorrow that I'd replace would be my camera gear as it help's me capture my adventures, thing i can't do without is my ridge monkey as its great for cooking over a campfire ,and if it broke tomorrow it would have to be my Solar charging power bank as it useless this time of the year.

When they said get rid of the Ridge Monkey, what did they mean? RM makes a load of stuff.

A fun video

Under £50 essential is my Aeropress coffee maker. Over £50 essential would probably be the SatNav.. Things I've bought and regretted - I try to forget them asap! :-)

Great video shows we're all different. Chairs would be my under 50 need a chair out side unlimited easy victron solar panels and lithium. My waste I too brought a twin tub never used in motorhome but came in handy when waiting for my new washing machine . Now sits under the stairs 😁

Really enjoyed this! I absolutely agree with you on the small laundry machine. Worst purchase ever! Under 50 - my usb rechargeable water pump. Over 50 - yup solar too. Have to have power!

Def buy net gear night hawk 2 and my collapse waste pipe . Would not not buy mosquito killer /light (total rubbish) 👍

It was great seeing everybody again. Some really good ideas 👍👍 Ours has to be; chairs for

Darren, nice to see you in my feed mate. Under £50 has to be my fold up bucket chair, over £50 is my jackery, i have solar and leisure battery but that has been soooo useful, worst item is probably levelling ramps, carried them everywhere for about 5 years and used them probaly three times

Great Video Daz! Your looking well pal, hope to see another video soon 🤞…Smithy

Under 50: 3-way 12v splitter for cig lighter socket Over 50: Solar Setup Never Replace: bog-standard motorhome tyres (would now always go for all terrain better tyres) Great vlog 👍💙❤️

Hi Daz really great video really interesting really looking forward to seeing your next video keep safe 😷👍🏻

Fridges and seats

Under £50 my 20000mah anker power Bank, its 6 years old and still a beast 👌 Over £50 my solar setup, need that leccy Wouldnt replace my TV... I do use it more than I used to... but still... meh...

Hi great to see you again. Under £50 collapsible saucepan and lid. Unlimited Max Air fan (awesome) wouldn’t buy again inflatable drive away awning ( used once never again it was like going camping again. Keep vids coming

Can you link to the geezo robes please?

Hi Darren. I pretty much agree with most. Under £50, defo kettle. Over£50 the battery bank. ATM hybrid lead carbon / lithium set up. If I could have afforded it, it would have been all lithium. I've got to admit, I've bought some rubbish, mostly already binned, but I'm still trying to justify the Ramoska cooker. Used it at home, brilliant, but took 4 hours to cook a chicken, eats power like it's going out of fashion. Probably okay if on EHU. But I'm never on EHU.

Great wee vlog Best thing over £50 is our Taylormade screen cover. Under £50 fold away stool. Would never replace all the plastic hoses and bits n bobs you buy at the start but never ever seem to use but you drag them from campsite to campsite. Who’s next………..?

1 - microfibre towels under £50 2 - night heater unlimited 3 - tv never buy again

Under 50 = karcher window vac Over 50 = lifesaver jerrycan 😍 Waste of money = Milenco stepped levelling ramps (rubbish)

Good to see you bus. Hope your keeping well.

thank you very much for your video. I really like it. I'm trying to learn from that for our "The Dream" tour. this tour goes from germany via poland, lithuania, latvia, russia, kazakhstan, kigisistan, uzbekistan and some more to turkey.

DONT but zero chill fake air con fans abs DONT buy stupid bug killer lights . Save your money

I've caught so many bugs with my bug killer lights and they where only about £14

Definite no-no -- army-style fold-up trenching tool. I don't know what real ones are like but the one you find in shops & markets is rubbish! You have it rattling around for years getting fingers caught in it while you're looking for other things & whenever you think to use it you've always got a better tool & when its moment finally does arrive it bends in half or the locking nut strips at its first look at the ground. Total waste of space.

You missed a trick on this video. You really should have put some links to the good products. I've just had to search for items.

Well here it goes,

Under £50 - 10 litre watering can for easy top- ups. Folding step stool (we are short arses so very useful 🤣). Over £50 - taylormade silverscreen. It fits like a glove and is well made. Haven’t invested in solar yet but it is on the list. Never again - cheap pillows and duvets. So uncomfortable. Buy once buy right. Oh and a set of four chopping boards - why would you need four chopping boards in a van? We only use one at home. Thought of another - melamine dinner set. So ££ and horrible to eat and drink from.

Hi Darren, great video. Thanks for featuring us 👍🏻 next collab video should be a pubstop in the U.K. I recon 😂

Under £50 - Kettle Unlimited- My Fridge What wouldn’t I replace? Cadac Safari Chef, dreadful. Impossible to see flame level and concrete has better non stick qualities

One advice I’ve given to new motorhomer/campervaner, don’t go and buy everything. Buy basic and add when you think it will make your life easier.

For me just about anything FIAMMA is just is absolute rubbish quality.

Kettle - under 50 Self levelling system - over 50 Generator - never used and now left at home

Kettle. iPad. Get rid of TV.

My 3 items after 20 years travelling Under £50. foldable table essential Over £50. Remoska fantastic Never again, any Cadac total crap.

I heard, that some bigger KZreadr would get money, for making a video about the product. ie $ 1.650,- each. Some KZreadr present one product per week = gets $ 6.000,- per month or more ? Enough money for full vanlife, and not a job 9 to 5 needed. Mostly it is a presenting only - not really testing. You hear only good arguments for this product. All for the goal:"Buy it !" Even if it is (too) expensive.
