We’re BOTH Considering This BUT It’s NOT Cheap!

Hey! I'm Darran, I've been living on the road full-time in a motorhome since April 2017. I started off in a 2004 Fiat based Swift Sundance and have recently upgraded to a 2008 Renault based Burstner Delfin. It has the layout I was looking for, the space and most importantly, the payload! I've learn loads since going full-time time and want to share the good, the bad and the ugly, as well as some hints and tips along the way to help anyone out there thinking of doing the same. Have a good look around and please feel free to leave a comment & get involved :-)

This week I’m at the NEC Motorhome & Caravan Show 2025 in Birmingham, checking out all the latest motorhome gadgets, heating upgrades, and must-see products for vanlifers. 🔥 Try HOLY here ➡️ https://urbanhq.co/holy - use code MOTORHOME5 for £5 off your first order or MOTORHOME for 10% off 💥👉📆 Preorder NOW – Moments on the Road 2026 Calendar – Limited Stock! https://urbanhq.co/calendar While running around the show, I bumped into Kat from Wandering Bird and we ended up having a really interesting (and completely unplanned) chat about something we’re both thinking about… switching our gas heating/boiler systems over to diesel! Sounds simple, right? But there’s a lot to think about – cost, finding gas abroad, peace of mind, and whether it’s actually worth the upgrade. I also found a few other cool things worth showing you – the new TomTom GO Camper Max V2 (faster, USB-C, and slicker graphics), a NOCO jump starter that doubles as a 100 PSI tyre inflator (yes, really), and a brand-new tiny 280×280mm MaxxFan that’s perfect for smaller roof vents. Massive thanks to everyone who came over to the Park4Night stand this week to say hi to me, Tash and the Team, grabbed a sticker, or picked up a book or calendar, you honestly made our week. 👉 Let me know in the comments – would you switch your motorhome heating from gas to diesel, or are you sticking with what you’ve got? ⭐️⭐️ My NEW BOOK - How to Wild Camp in a Motorhome: The No-Knock Guide! - https://urbanhq.co/book ⭐️⭐️ ======================== Products shown in this video ======================== ✅ Maxxfan Deluxe Compact ↪️ https://urbanhq.co/4qtLgtw 🔥 Make sure you're subscribed to the channel to not miss out on new motorhome, vanlife and travel video! 📹 NEW video every week! https://www.youtube.com/TheUrbanMotorhome/?sub_confirmation=1 ================== Making Van Life Easier ================== 🔥 I love anything and everything that makes van life and living on the road full time easier and in the last years I’ve learnt what works and what doesn’t! 🛠️ https://urbanhq.co/gear ============ Useful Videos ============ 🚐 Motorhome Wild Camping 101 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AO4q7bA9DjE 💷 How much does Van Life Cost - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5e8ZliQLrOc 🚰 Where to find water - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTdSJjsV8Hk& 🔋 Charging the Motorhome from EV points - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNebrf4taJ8 🏠 Van Life without an address - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrHek909deY 🍺 Motorhomes & Alcohol - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ET8Cp_H0CQ 🚐 New to Motorhomes? - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7aO12uRH5M&list=PLRc9cu4LiQYvjuYToNLShEfM2TxGf3Epd 🏁 Binge Watch from the start! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5-KxwgiDlrw&list=PLRc9cu4LiQYsz2dHX9h5kyYZEcavUy0SI =============== Connect with me! =============== 📷 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_urban_motorhome 👀 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UrbanMotorhome ♪ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theurbanmotorhome 🌐︎ Website: https://www.theurbanmotorhome.com 📹 Subscribe to the Channel: https://www.youtube.com/TheUrbanMotorhome/?sub_confirmation=1 =================== ⏰ Video Timecodes ⏰ =================== 00:00 NEC Show 01:11 I Love My Heating 01:47 Alde’s New Diesel Water Heater 02:11 Chat With Kat 04:21 Is The Upgrade Worth It? 06:15 Europe Gas Refill Reality 11:06 What's your Thoughts? 11:25 TomTom GO Camper Max V2 13:36 NOCO AX65 16:27 NEW MaxxFan! 18:32 Massive Thank you!
