In this Q&A, I answer your top questions about life on the road in a motorhome.
⭐️⭐️ My NEW BOOK - How to Wild Camp in a Motorhome: The No-Knock Guide! - urbanhq.co/book ⭐️⭐️

How I make a living as a full-time YouTuber, to what I'd save in a fire, to how I cope with loneliness and whether I regret giving up house life—it’s all here.

I also share my thoughts on wild camping, remote stays in Scotland, seasonal pitches abroad, and the motorhome upgrades that changed my life (including that beloved ice maker and diesel heater!).

Whether you're new to van life or a seasoned motorhomer, this honest chat gives a real insight into the highs, the challenges, and the total freedom that comes with living in a van.
