We have been living full time in a van for over five years. Our first home on wheels was Big Bez, our self converted VW LT35. These days, we live in Goliath, a former police truck we’ve transformed into our travelling home.

We’re full time travel and lifestyle content creators. We film, edit and share our adventures across Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube, and work with brands on campaigns and content creation. Our income comes from a mixture of brand partnerships, platform earnings and affiliate recommendations.

Willow travels with us, and we plan around the pet entry requirements for each destination and our return journey. Depending on the route, that can involve travel documents such as animal health certificated or passports, vaccinations, treatments and veterinary appointments. We check the current official requirements before every trip, as they vary between country. If you have a specific country in mind you’d like to ask about get in contact or read our blog posts on where we have travelled to with willow here.

We use a mixture of overnight parking apps such as Park4Night, Google maps, local research and recommendations from other travellers. Where we stay depends on the country, local rules and what we need that night. We always aim to park considerately and leave the area as we found it or better! Pick up your rubbish :D

Goliath is a 1999 Mercedes Benz 814D, a 7.5 tonne former police truck that we’ve converted into our home. It has a custom built GRP box on the back that was commissioned by a coach building firm back in the 90’s.

Goliath is a 7.5 tonne vehicle, so you need the appropriate driving licence entitlement to drive him. A C1 license is required in the UK for anything above 3.5t unless you passed before 1997.

Big Bez is our self converted VW LT35 and was our home for over four years. After moving into Goliath, we started renovating Bez ready for her next chapter, one of you guys! We’re raffling Big Bez. We’re sharing the rebuild and updates for the raffle on our social channels.

Goliath has solar panels, a leisure battery and an inverter to power our everyday essentials. We refill our water tank at suitable drinking water points along the way, and our internet setup depends on where we’re travelling. You’ll find more about the equipment we use on our Favourite Gear page.

Willow is thought to be a Jack Russell but along the way we’ve had several people convinced she’s crossed with a Patterdale Terrier!

Our Favourite Gear page brings together the products we use for vanlife, camping, cooking, filming and travelling with Willow. We’ve organised everything into categories so you can quickly find something you’ve spotted in our videos. Some links are affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you :)
