Saying Goodbye to the Van that Changed Stealth Camping Forever — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:06Okay, this is it. I'm about to embark on
- 0:09the 2hour trip to deliver this van
- 0:14with the American. [music]
- 0:22[music]
- 0:25And you're probably thinking, "Well,
- 0:26Sean, why are you driving for 2 hours to
- 0:29deliver a van that you said on the
- 0:32advert for the raffle that the winner
- 0:35had to collect it from Cornwall?" Well,
- 0:39I'll explain that in a bit. [music]
- 0:50>> [music]
- 0:53>> I kind of need to uh hold up my side of
- 0:55the bargain and put in the same amount
- 0:57of fuel as tickets bought. So, there was
- 1:00eight tickets bought, so that should be
- 1:0240 quid.
- 1:05>> Next time you fill up, choose Shell
- 1:07Bower to improve your engine's fuel
- 1:09economy.
- 1:11>> 179 a liter. Go to jcbbeam.com/flexibly.
- 1:17>> I went over the 4040 mark. So, you got
- 1:19an extra 57.
- 1:22Let's just put it this way. If I wasn't
- 1:24delivering this van, it would have been
- 1:26handed over plus the 40 worth of fuel.
- 1:29And considering I'm delivering it when I
- 1:31said that it was collection from
- 1:32Cornwall, then uh I think this is the
- 1:37fairest way.
- 1:39McDonald's breakfast would really tick
- 1:41the box right now, but I don't really
- 1:43want
- 1:45the van smelling of an egg muffin.
- 1:48[music]
- 1:49So,
- 1:51I'll just have to go hungry.
- 1:55[music]
- 2:05See until my eyes [singing and music]
- 2:09say my baby gone.
- 2:13I'm just a lonely man
- 2:16and I'll be the [music] you alone
- 2:22and I'm lonely for your pain.
- 2:26Truly lonely.
- 2:29>> Don't you know I need you, baby?
- 2:31>> Cheers. [music]
- 2:32Bye.
- 2:37>> Right, we are in Plymouth
- 2:40making good time. Now, I left like a
- 2:42good sort of 40 minutes early. And the
- 2:45reason is is because this time of day,
- 2:48it's currently quart 8 in the morning. I
- 2:51don't want to get caught in any traffic.
- 2:55They walk on by.
- 2:57Don't try to leave the heaven.
- 3:02If I could just see the girl [music]
- 3:04again,
- 3:05I'd be a happy man.
- 3:15>> I mean, look how clean it is. I mean,
- 3:17you can't see cuz the lights aren't on,
- 3:18but
- 3:23this van
- 3:25is so clean. Oh, I've left them that as
- 3:27well.
- 3:30I even cleaned the fridge
- 3:33and the cooker. So, like I said, I've
- 3:35been a busy busy boy. It's currently
- 3:378:36, so I'm 25 minutes early, right?
- 3:41I've got I've put an hour to park here.
- 3:44So, the handover is going to have to be
- 3:46fairly quick because they're not going
- 3:47to be getting here for another 25
- 3:49minutes. But the reason why I've
- 3:51delivered this van is because the winner
- 3:54lives in Bristol. He wasn't available to
- 3:56come and collect the van. So, I'm
- 3:57actually handing it over to his
- 3:59brother-in-law, who I don't even know if
- 4:01his brother-in-law knows who I am or
- 4:03watches the videos or even recognizes
- 4:05the van. So, this is going to be
- 4:07interesting. And the reason why even
- 4:09though I said collection from Cornwall
- 4:11and I'm now in Devon only just but I am
- 4:14now in Devon. It's sad that the guy can
- 4:16come and collect it himself and you know
- 4:19his brother-in-law is doing him a favor
- 4:20and I thought I'd be a good guy and uh
- 4:23and not put him out too much. His
- 4:25brother-in-law is actually on holiday in
- 4:27Xmouth which is sort of exit away. So
- 4:30for him it was still going to be a good
- 4:32sort of hour drive to here. And
- 4:36technically this isn't halfway, but I
- 4:38wanted to be somewhere where I could
- 4:40literally just jump on the train and go
- 4:42home. So, and I figured, well, at least
- 4:44I know at Plymouth I can get on the
- 4:46train and it will take me straight to
- 4:47Truro. So, that's the plan. So, I've
- 4:50just got to wait now. They should be
- 4:51here within the next 25 minutes. I'm not
- 4:53really going to be able to show I mean,
- 4:55there's no point in me showing them
- 4:56around how everything works in the van
- 4:57because by the time it gets back to
- 4:59Mitchell, the guy who won the van, it
- 5:02might be lost in translation. So, I
- 5:04might need to do a FaceTime with him
- 5:05later on once he receives it. But for
- 5:08now, all I'll be doing with his
- 5:11brother-in-law will be filling this out,
- 5:14getting all the paperwork done, handing
- 5:16him the keys, and then I'll be going. I
- 5:18did work quite hard making sure this van
- 5:20was nice and clean. So, I'm currently
- 5:22just out cleaning the van. Got the DTO
- 5:25wipes out. I am going to be fitting
- 5:28these heavyduty waterproof
- 5:31nylon seat covers. Um, just to sort of
- 5:34tidy up the front a little bit. And as
- 5:36promised,
- 5:38I'll be fitting this new toilet here as
- 5:40well because yeah, no one wants my old
- 5:43one. That's the old one.
- 5:47And that's the new one. Instructions and
- 5:50everything are all in there. So, you can
- 5:52set that up. There's the seat covers.
- 5:55And in this light, they do kind of look
- 5:56like two bin bags, but I kind of wish
- 5:59I'd put these on before because they do
- 6:02make it look more like a builder's van
- 6:03cuz they're like heavyduty ones that
- 6:06protect your seats. So, ideal. So, all
- 6:10in all, the van is ready. It's probably
- 6:14the cleanest it's ever been, other than
- 6:16when I originally built it. I think he's
- 6:18going to be really happy with it.
- 6:20>> I was like, I'm pretty sure it was an
- 6:21SMAX.
- 6:22>> Yeah.
- 6:23>> How's it going? All right. Not too bad,
- 6:24mate. Yourself?
- 6:25>> Yeah, good. Be sad to see the van girl,
- 6:27but
- 6:28>> yeah.
- 6:29>> Did um
- 6:30>> Good morning.
- 6:31>> Morning. How are you? All right,
- 6:32>> my name. This is Trace.
- 6:33>> Hello. You all right?
- 6:34>> Yeah.
- 6:35>> Um yeah, I take it um Mitchell told you
- 6:37everything.
- 6:39>> No. Okay.
- 6:40>> Yes.
- 6:42>> All right. So, yeah, it looks like a
- 6:45normal
- 6:47>> tidy
- 6:47>> van from the outside, but it's a
- 6:49>> Yeah.
- 6:50>> Do the wood work yourself?
- 6:51>> Yeah. You don't want to be on the video,
- 6:54do you?
- 6:55>> Don't necessarily mind.
- 6:57>> Cheers, Martin. So, this is this is
- 6:59Mitchell's brother-in-law,
- 7:01>> and I forgot your name. Sorry. Trace,
- 7:04>> I don't know what relation, but Oh,
- 7:06you're you're Mitchell's dad. All right.
- 7:08Right on. We love that. [laughter]
- 7:11>> I'm sure he'll be very happy with this
- 7:13van.
- 7:13>> He will be.
- 7:15>> Goodbye, van.
- 7:17>> All right. Well, that's that. I need to
- 7:20work out how I'm going to get home now.
- 7:43Platform five.
- 7:50Just realized I got a physical ticket
- 7:51when I could have used the train power
- 7:53app.
- 8:00[laughter]
- 8:09I've got a few things I want to talk to
- 8:10you about, but we'll do that when I get
- 8:12back to the workshop.
- 8:23>> [music]
- 8:28[music]
- 8:34[music]
- 8:41[music]
- 8:46>> We use [music]
- 8:50the emotion.
- 8:56>> [music]
- 8:57>> I'm already here.
- 9:06[music]
- 9:10here.
- 9:12[music]
- 9:16[music]
- 9:22[music]
- 9:25Heat. [music]
- 9:31[music]
- 9:48So, with any luck, my parents should be
- 9:51here to pick me up. Spent a lot of time
- 9:53on trains recently, haven't I?
- 10:01Hi, Dad.
- 10:09That's not a ticket. That's why it's not
- 10:10working.
- 10:17>> Yes, that's a that's a ticket.
- 10:23>> Huh?
- 10:23>> You have to meet him, too.
- 10:26>> This is my mom.
- 10:27>> Hi. Yeah.
- 10:28>> I know it's a normally only dad that's
- 10:29in the video, but mom's here as well.
- 10:31[laughter]
- 10:33Right. Thanks for coming to get me.
- 10:34>> It's all right.
- 10:35>> I'll get in the back.
- 10:37>> No,
- 10:37>> no, I'll get in the back.
- 10:41>> I'm not going to expect mom to get in
- 10:42the back, am I?
- 10:45>> All right. Thanks for coming to get me.
- 10:47>> It's all right. You're welcome.
- 10:48>> Say hello to everyone.
- 10:49>> Hello, everyone. [laughter]
- 10:54[music]
- 10:59>> Do you know what? Even though I expected
- 11:01it and I'd sort of built myself up to
- 11:04get rid of the van, that still actually
- 11:06felt really really emotional. Even
- 11:08though like I' i'd decided [snorts] a
- 11:10long time ago that I was definitely
- 11:11going to raffle this van. And when I
- 11:13build these vans as well, I never have
- 11:14it in my head that I'm going to keep
- 11:15them forever [clears throat] because I
- 11:17like to build new vans and I get bored
- 11:19of what I've got. When I left the van at
- 11:21the train station, there was still a
- 11:22little part of me in my head thinking,
- 11:25have I left anything in there? But now
- 11:27that's done, I've got something very
- 11:28important to talk to you about, and it
- 11:30is really, really important that you
- 11:31stick around and listen to what I've got
- 11:32to say after this sponsorship by Beer
- 11:3552. Now, handing over that van was a
- 11:38little bit sort of bittersweet. It's
- 11:40times like these that I feel like I
- 11:42should have a drink to celebrate, and
- 11:44normally I would grab go for a beer or a
- 11:46glass of wine, but on occasions like
- 11:48this, I do like something a little bit
- 11:50stronger. Luckily for me, that's where
- 11:52today's video sponsor comes in, which is
- 11:54Whiskey 52. Now, we've all heard of Beer
- 11:5652 and Wine 52, but did you also know
- 11:59that they do a whiskey club? And how
- 12:01would you like a free bottle of whiskey
- 12:04just in time for Father's Day? And
- 12:06Whiskey 52 have got you covered with a
- 12:09limited edition Glamarangi malt [music]

- 12:24minimum commitment. And if it's not for
- 12:26you, you can simply cancel after your
- 12:28free bottle. Let's crack this open and
- 12:30give it a taste.
- 12:40Oh, that is so smooth.
- 12:43Oo. Having recently made headlines with
- 12:46their collaboration with Harrison Ford,
- 12:48Glen Morani is one of the most
- 12:50prestigious distilleries in the world.

- 12:55van over to its new owner. In your box

- 13:03about the whiskey that you're drinking.
- 13:04There's a lot of information about Glen
- 13:06Morani in here. Didn't know that. So
- 13:09even after all of that, if you're still
- 13:10unsatisfied, you can simply pause or
- 13:13cancel at any time. So that's

- 13:30for not only sponsoring today's video,
- 13:32but also giving me something to drink to
- 13:34celebrate. Cheers.
- 13:38Okay. So this is really important.
- 13:44[music]
- 13:51[music]
- 14:00[music]
- 14:06scams.
- 14:08I want to talk to you about scams. Now,
- 14:10I'm not talking about van raffles, as
- 14:11you can see from this video that I did
- 14:13actually just hand over my van to a
- 14:16complete stranger. So, when I say scams,
- 14:18that's not what I'm referring to. I am
- 14:20tearing my hair out at the moment
- 14:21because I'm trying to get something
- 14:22sorted and I'm worried that you, my
- 14:26viewers, might get scammed. And here's
- 14:29the thing. I don't know whether any of
- 14:30you use Instagram, Facebook or Tik Tok,
- 14:34but there are accounts out there
- 14:36pretending to be me that aren't me like
- 14:40Tik Tok, right?
- 14:41>> So, if we type in Love Sundays into Tik
- 14:45Tok, right, and then go into users,
- 14:48okay, all of these accounts, the top
- 14:51one's me, that's me, right? All of these
- 14:54other accounts are not me. So, let me
- 14:57just count them. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
- 15:0512 13 I mean just at a glance there was
- 15:07like 15 of them on there all pretending
- 15:08to be me uploading cut down versions of
- 15:11my videos. Right, this guy has 25.3,000
- 15:15followers on Tik Tok as opposed to mine
- 15:18which is the genuine page. Not that I
- 15:20post on Tik Tok very often, but I've got
- 15:222,846
- 15:24followers. How does that work? So, if
- 15:26you are following Love Sundays
- 15:30YouTube, this one here, that's not my
- 15:33account. My account is Love Sundays 84.
- 15:36I try to keep all my ads the same
- 15:38through Tik Tok, Facebook, and
- 15:40Instagram. They're all Love Sundays 84,
- 15:42right? I'm not too worried about these
- 15:43Tik Tok accounts because essentially
- 15:45they're just using my videos and making
- 15:47money off me. That's not what I'm
- 15:49worried about. This is what I'm worried
- 15:51about. If I go into Facebook, let me
- 15:53just turn the lights off so you can see
- 15:54my screen properly.
- 15:57So,
- 16:01this is my official Facebook page,
- 16:03right? There's a picture of me laying on
- 16:05top of which was technically my first
- 16:07van on this channel before it had the
- 16:09roof deck. That's the logo for it. Okay.
- 16:12The same as my logo on everything. The
- 16:14same as that logo. the same as [snorts]
- 16:18that logo.
- 16:21This is my official Facebook account. It
- 16:24has 2.2,000 followers, right?
- 16:29I upload pictures on here and videos and
- 16:32things. I make reals. It's all original
- 16:35content. If you search Facebook for Love
- 16:37Sundays, it's typical now that I'm
- 16:40trying to find it on Facebook. I can't
- 16:41find it. Maybe Facebook have finally
- 16:43taken it down. I've been reporting it
- 16:44and I've been asking people that been
- 16:46bringing it to my attention to report it
- 16:48as well. But I'll show you cuz I did
- 16:51take a screenshot of it and posted it on
- 16:53my official Facebook account a little
- 16:55while ago. And it's this guy here.
- 16:57That's my picture.
- 16:598.3,000 followers. Right. And but the
- 17:02worst part is right here it says loves
- 17:06sununddays.com.
- 17:07And that's not my website. My website is
- 17:10loves sununddays.uk. Right. And when you
- 17:14click on the link on that page, it takes
- 17:16you to a scam website, okay? Where it's
- 17:20trying to get you to buy. It looked to
- 17:22me like a gambling website. I didn't
- 17:24really click on anything, but it had
- 17:25nothing to do with me or anything
- 17:29associated with me. So rather than use
- 17:32the link, I actually typed in loves.com
- 17:34into Google. And that actual website
- 17:36does not go anywhere. So essentially
- 17:38what it was is they used a madeup
- 17:40website to then take you to something
- 17:42completely different to try and scam you
- 17:43out of your money. So if you are one of
- 17:46the 8.3,000 people that were following
- 17:48that fake account, then come over to my
- 17:50original Love Sundays account, which is
- 17:53the green Love Sundays logo.
- 17:56>> This one here, this is me. This is the
- 17:57real me.
- 17:58>> And I'll keep it like that for a while.
- 17:59And then eventually I'll probably just
- 18:00change it back to a picture of me so
- 18:02that everyone knows that it's
- 18:03legitimate. Now, in order for me to get
- 18:05better protection on Facebook to protect
- 18:07you guys more than anything, is for me
- 18:09to get a verified tick. You know, that
- 18:11little blue tick that you see next to
- 18:12certain creators. And Facebook offer
- 18:16that to you no matter how many followers
- 18:17you've got, but you just have to pay for
- 18:19it. That's not the issue. The issue is,
- 18:21for whatever reason, my payment details
- 18:24on Facebook have been blocked, right?
- 18:26So, that means that I can't upload a
- 18:28card. I can't upload any PayPal account.
- 18:31I can't upload anything onto there to be
- 18:33able to actually pay to get my account
- 18:35verified. I've been kind of going around
- 18:37in circles. You keep talking to like an
- 18:39AI bot on there, like a chatbot, and it
- 18:41never gives you an answer, and it just
- 18:43says, "Fill out this form," and then you
- 18:45follow the steps, and the steps don't
- 18:47actually match what's on the screen. So,
- 18:49it's absolutely shocking. So, I'm kind
- 18:51of like in between a rock and a hard
- 18:54place at the moment. I want to protect
- 18:55you. I want to make sure that you're not
- 18:57click you're not following the wrong
- 18:58people and that you're not believing
- 19:00what they're sort of trying to sell you
- 19:03or trying to scam you out of. But until
- 19:06Facebook actually reply to any of my
- 19:08emails or get back to me or actually
- 19:11allow me to fill out this form, there's
- 19:14not really a great deal I can do.
- 19:15Hopefully me putting it out here on on
- 19:18the channel, then people actually know
- 19:20which account they need to follow and
- 19:22which account they need to essentially
- 19:24unfollow. I'm hoping that Facebook have
- 19:26removed it now because of all the times
- 19:28it's been reported. But it there's a
- 19:30chance it could still be out there. And
- 19:33if it is, don't follow it. It's not me.
- 19:35You can tell which ones aren't real
- 19:37because they upload cut down versions of
- 19:39my long- form videos like this. Whereas
- 19:43what I post on Instagram and Facebook
- 19:46and Tik Tok are new videos that I'm
- 19:48filming on my phone when I'm out and
- 19:50about doing something. So it's
- 19:51completely different to what you see on
- 19:53YouTube. So, that's how you can tell the
- 19:55difference until they start downloading
- 19:56those videos and then uploading those.
- 19:58This is one of these things of of being
- 20:00a YouTuber that you have to deal with
- 20:03quite regularly and it is very stressful
- 20:05and I just worry that someone's going to
- 20:07lose some money. Please do not follow
- 20:10these people. Only follow my account. If
- 20:12you're unsure whether it's me or not or
- 20:13if you find an account that's not mine
- 20:15and you want to bring it to my
- 20:16attention, just leave me a message on
- 20:17YouTube. That's normally how I get to
- 20:19see it. So, or you can message me on
- 20:21Instagram or even on my original
- 20:24Facebook page. But anyway, that's about
- 20:26it from me. I will be continuing with
- 20:28the Caddy build next week. So, I'm going
- 20:30to start cracking on with that. I need
- 20:32to get it up and running at least
- 20:34because I am going to be taking it to
- 20:35the show. I've decided Van Life is
- 20:38United. And if anything, when this video
- 20:40comes out, that would have already gone.
