Are you thinking about living in a Motorhome or tiny house on wheels, touring around Europe? Want to know what it takes to live full time in an RV living a Nomadic Lifestyle and how to earn money while travelling?
In 2016 The Happy Travellers sold up everything they owned and decided to live their lives in a Motorhome with their Maltese terrier Pippin and we started Vlogging on 1st June 2016. Scroll down for a list of kit we use in our Motorhome Life.
If you're interested in living a minimalistic life, come along with us as we clear out all the clutter and get organised!

Can dogs get Hay Fever?
Good question. I have no idea 🤷♂️

Cheers 👍 Ow in Sweden after our 1200 mile journey. 😎
👍🏼💚
Hey Angela - Thanks for the comment 😀👍😎
Great to see you back in the motorhome but your right campsites all over are very very quiet this year it’s the quietest season we’ve ever known as campsite wardens 😮
Thanks Judy & Mark, good to hear from you 😀👍😎
Hi .Late catch up.Good to see you both on the way to your family. Eye drops you could use are Optive and Halo tears .You can get Halo tears night as well .Very common in dogs on very hot sunny days.If its healing quickly might mean no underlying causes .Also as she gets older reduce protein .Try to give more vegetables and omega 3 like salmon oil or cod liver oil .Love your hair Wendy.
Thanks for the advice Susanne, much appreciated 😀👍😎
Nice that you’re getting back to the travel vids ❤
Yes and great to be able to travel 😀👍😎
i'm 54, just rented a camper, just go slowly and enjoy our journey, no stress
Enjoying the journey is the best way. 😀👍😎
Woohoo adventures a foot ❤
For sure they are😀👍😎 Taken a slightly different route through Germany and found some great places 👍
I’ve just started using what 3words and think it’s great 😊 thank you for all of your videos
Thanks for your comment Irene 😀 Yes W3W is a good way to pinpoint a location 👍
Great Video, enjoy your travels. Pippin is so cute, hope he's eyes get better soon. 🐕❤️ xx
I meant to say her.
Thanks Susan. Pippin is already much improved 😀👍😎
Flippin vets, at least Dick turpin wore a mask, they know we will do anything for our pets and they charge accordingly! Might head over to sweden next year through the netherlands visiting friends x good vid folks x love to you both n Pippin x JP
Yes vets in the UK do seem to outstrip dick Turpin for highway robbery. Spin vets are LOADS cheaper and in many cases better service too.
Love the Spanish colours! Well done xxxx
Thanks - it’s a long distant memory now 😀👍😎
With what3words I always convert it into Latitude and Longitude. As either Decimal degrees 51.2833, -0.1387 or Long form lat long N 51°16’59.7648” W 0°8’19.2336” as Both go into Google Earth Program or Garmin SatNav. Hope to be near Göteborg this Summer visiting My brother. Joked with him and his missus I could stay in the garden for about 3 months with my Motorhome😆. Looking forward to seeing more of your adventures.
Once you have a W3W app you can then click to “navigate” with your favourite map app. That also displays the lat and long cords 😀👍😎 Sweden is lovely so I guess you’d be very happy to stay in your brothers garden 😎
My mobile phone is zero £ a month as I do not have internet for app's. It's a Very old phone and contract. Last years bills total was £36.
Lovely to see you both back on the road ❤
Thanks Alison ❤️ We are about to embark on Le Shuttle as I type this reply. Sweden here we come 👍😎😀
Yeeey
Yes indeed. We are on the channel tunnel today! 😎
Great to be back on the road with you. Looking forward to the journey. Love to you all xxx
Thanks Belle 😀👍😎
Wanting to secure my doors but don't have handle pulls...unfortunately. Are there any other suggestions?
Yes, have a look at the HEOSafe dead locks. We’ve fitted them to 2 vans. Easy to fit and very secure.
@@TheHappyTravellers ill look into those. Thank you!
That's fantastic, real freedom at last, and sold the boat already unbelievable 😀😁😀 Have you booked your trip to Spain? I want to do a similar thing thing this winter. 😊👍👍👍👍
We will book our Spain trip before we leave Sweden. Probably on the tunnel to Calais on 25th December or there about, and spend late Dec, Jan, Feb and a bit of March in Spain. 😀👍😎
@@TheHappyTravellers Me too hopefully, I'll do the ferry to Santander route this time, less driving. 😊👍👍👍
So glad you sold the boat - that must be a relief to you both? Have a wonderful crossing and trip!
Yes Robert it’s always stressful moving out of your home and selling. So pleased to have sold it and to be back to van life 😀👍😎
Great news the boat has sold 👍 Will you eventually be getting a bigger van now you are back to full time van life? Looking forward to seeing your future adventures ❤
Yes the boat has gone and we will be updating the van probably next year. We are considering a dethleffs trend 😀👍😎

Good vid. What3words is an English app based in London.
Oh that’s interesting and good to know 😀 Thanks Stuart 😀👍😎
Lovely to see you back on the road, you inspired us the most to get a van. It's been a few years, soon to give up my day job, move area and finally buy a van. Keep trucking. Oh new channel name for us ready to document our journeys!
Great to hear you’re getting started on the van life. Good luck and Happy Travels 😀👍😎
Hello, I bet you'll be glad to move on to the next chapter, it's never ending maintainance with a steel boat. 🙄 I look forward to your next chapter, back to happy travelling like it should be. 😁😁😁😁👍👍👍
Yes its going to be back to the good old days of motorhome living 😀👍😎
Your narrowboat is looking good already 👍 xx
Thanks. Yes I think we did a good job 😀
Well done guys!, it will look great when finished! Looking forward to the next chapter in your life. Just to let you know, we still have our commanche, and absolutely absolutely love it...we havd considered downsizing, but just cant seem to find anything that works....anyhow looking forward to seeing your next motorhome. 😊
Thanks Karen. Yes we do miss the Comanche but we have been happy with the Carabus as our daily drive as well as the holiday motorhome It’s going to take a while to find the next one 😎
There was no gust of wind today so you were lucky 😂hope you get this side done as good as the one you’ve done before your land voyage 👍
Thanks for commenting. Yes the wind was low as it was a simple job. Previous times it has taken five attempts when the wind was blowing lol.
@@TheHappyTravellers know that feeling well when reversing out of the mooring on Sawley cut 🤣
Well done. I’m interested, do u have one son in Sweden and one in Uk? Is that your family?
Hey Diana We have 4 son. Two in UK, one in Sweden and one in Australia. Sadly not been able to get to Australia for 10 years so have to make do with FaceTime calls.
Well done both Great Job and Wendy so focussed coaxing it along and managing to keep your ballance .Boat looks much better .Maybe you could paint over with a top coat of exterior clear varnish so only needs washing in future. Only one more week.Time passes too quickly.Hope you get everything done this so you can relax and enjoy your family and perhaps planning the next stage of your life .Just be Happy . Hugs and kisses Pippin !
Thanks 👍 Yes we are relaxing and focusing on our journey to Sweden 🇸🇪 😀👍😎
Hi Steve and Wendy, you did a great job pf turning the boat around. Good luck with getting the boat painted , fingers crossed for some good dry weather. Take care x Julie and Tony x
Thanks 🤩 The weather has not been kind to us, we’ve even had hail stones !!! Oh well it’s all part of the story 👍
Helloo Steve , /wendy and Pippin, the boat looks lovely painted white, so excited for you on your upcoming trip to Sweden. We always liked the look of Dethleffs wishing you luck in your search for one. The bread looked lovely, I bet it didn't take you long to eat it all, yummy. Take care x Julie and Tony x
We are really excited for our trip to Sweden 🇸🇪 Our search for the next van start later this year 👍😀😎
Only a week! Looks like a lot to do. Hope it goes well
