YouTube vanlife drama

Also...don't forget...everything tubers do is for clicks...EVERYTHING.

But in the end if they ain't getting clicks they ain't getting money so...jib it.

One of the comments was interesting from a YouTuber that also runs another Motorhome forum . He said he doesn’t attend rallies anymore from his own company . That’s very telling . I know Jim attends as many of the Motorhome fun rallies he can because obviously he’s very proud of the business model he’s created . It’s seriously best to leave YouTube out of any forum based business!
 
We only ever watch you tube through our TV, apparently the funding model has changed and they don't get 'paid' if you view through a TV ??? Sad really, if it's true ....🥺
 
Of course everyone loves everybody else on MHF and there are no disagreements, or falling out :giggle:

Would everyone would want to park next to everyone else?

YouTube and all forums reflect life as we know it today.

He's the sidekick of Liam the terrible , he builds vans with him. That's the only reason I know who he is.
 
Anyone watched ," those happy days" on YouTube lately, they just get more stupid by the day, finished in UK, going on a European tour , got as far as Germany to a bear festival they couldn't get it, moaned about the campsites, found they had a leak and condensation.
Guess where they are now, back in the UK trying to sort there van out once again for free.
In her intro she says they have been living in the van for eighteen months, but they have spent half the time living in hotels and other people's houses.
He has come down now to flogging Chinese knives.
Totally bonkers.
 
It seems to be a trend to post alarmist headlines on YouTube vlogs at the moment, and you usually find out that it's not any sort of drama as I did with one which shouted 'This is the End for us' and it turned out that they were talking about the end of a trip, not the end of their #vanlife journey, as implied.

I used to watch These Happy Days, but I very rarely do now because I got so fed up with all their artificial dramas, and their (his) strops. I also loathe the way he tries to 'have his cake an eat it', ie. - he gets upset somewhere because the van is seen as a commercial vehicle and charged accordingly. Then he gets upset because it's NOT seen as one, and is charged accordingly! He needs to decide whether they want it to look like a commercial vehicle, or a camper, and stick with that. He moaned about getting a fine which was entirely his own fault. Annoying, but his own fault. But I predominantly got bored when they decided to buy a van which appears largely unsuitable for what they want to do, and the main reason for change was because Liam was having trouble with the bed in their previous van. So they buy a massive van, and then build the bed transverse, and have to compromise the insulation to fit it in that way. They could easily have bought a lower profile van, and started the conversion process by planning the bed arrangement. Nuts. And even more nuts that they didn't seem to plan the layout very well before starting the build, and had no 'shakedown' provision at all.

Who is he? Are we supposed to know? A famous Youtuber 😂

It was his choice to do whatever he did so just stop doing it without the drama!

I've no idea who he is either but I've never looked at anything on YouTube except for practical info on repairs or maintenance.
I'm too busy leading my own life to need to watch those of complete strangers.

Bizarrely, we were on an aire in France back in the summer. The french people nearest us had an issue with their motorhome and so I lent him some tools to remove the battery. He buggered if to get a new one, was away for nearly two hours, and we are left talking to his wife who was very pleasant, but then started on the hard sell trying to get us to purchase a set of kitchen knives. We couldn't leave as the guy still had some of my tools in his cab.

We didn't buy any but as we were leaving another guy then told us they'd been trying the blag with everyone else on the aire!
