    I can’t believe the cost of campsites in the U.K. it’s around £25 here or if you join a camping club you get around 20-25% discount. Do you not have camping clubs there?

  5. Stephanie Clayburn

    You need to boondocks to save money no rv parks ,we had two dogs and lived in van for a year stayed at free sites at lakes and in national Forrest found sites to find free camping it was great

    Hey lloyd we did 2 awnings this year the cost of the tarp was 220 Canadian and I watch a video on YouTube and with 2 people and limited tools we got it done ourselfs …good luck mate

  8. Steve Denoyer

    Our insurance covered our awning a couple times actually. It’s expensive to replace, probably 1500-2000

  9. Steve Denoyer

    But we had to replace the entire mechanism too, once from wind, once from rain. It was an act of God so it was covered. 😊

    Get a solar panel ,hook to your house battery,,,,trickle charge all day,,,,,stay on BLM land ! I go down for six months every year from Canada to Arizona California New Mexico and I don't pay for one single night the whole time I'm in the USA the people I meet down there have dogs they run around all over the place not on a leash big open space as you're not near any people lol gas just went up to a $1.96 a liter on Vancouver Island that is about $8 a gallon ! In over four years of full-time RV living for me I have never used my awning I actually took it off last winter and got rid of it at quartzsite Arizona at the dump

    Buying frequently means fresh hopefully. Pre planning meals is always a dollar saver versus hungry shopping.
    Don't forget to change the Fuel and Air filter when you do the oil.

  12. heather sullivan

    Wow! That’s way more expensive than I thought. I’m really surprised though that the gas wasn’t more. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us and for all the tips. Good to know. 😊

    Glad you'll going back to Asia. I'm guessing that you figured out that Van Life is a very saturated area on YT. Plus N. Americans like myself aren't really interested in seeing more of N. America (I speak for myself). Best of luck to you & I look forward to your upcoming content from Vietnam. Cheers

  14. Mike Bonvie

    I think you missed cell phone coverage and internet access costs, those are two big one I think

  15. Restless Soles

    Have you tried Hipcamp? Sometimes it has some good places. I haven't actually used it yet, but I plan on trying it this summer at some point…good luck!
