Our First Motorhome Trip Was a Disaster | Beginner Motorhome Life

We took our motorhome on its first trip and nearly listed it on eBay before we even got home. 😅 After years on the narrowboats, we thought motorhome life would be the natural next step, freedom, cosy evenings, spontaneous road trips, open roads. Reality had other ideas. Our very first weekend in The Boat (yes, that's what we call it) went like this: 🔥 Heating that didn't work (or we didn't work it right). 🤢 A sickly night. 😴 Almost no sleep. 😬 A near-miss on the road. 😡 Stress, arguments, and maybe some serious regret. 🚪 Neighbours with an… interesting relationship with their van door. We didn't even film the trip itself, we knew it would be stressful enough without cameras in our faces, and honestly, that turned out to be a wise call. So we sat down inside 'The Boat' and told you everything. No highlights reel, no pretending it was magical. Just two complete beginners doing motorhome life the hard way, the mistakes we made, the things nobody warns you about, and whether we still think buying a motorhome was the right decision. If you're new to motorhome travel, thinking about buying your first motorhome, or just starting out in campervan or van life, this one's for you. Because nobody talks about the hard bits. We think they should. 🚐 We're documenting every part of our motorhome journey, the good, the bad, and the absolutely chaotic. Subscribe so you don't miss what comes next. 🤫 Exclusive Content.
