Hi Everyone, Over the years I have looked at a few websites, YouTube links and blogs related to our hobby.

With the current situation I am sure I will be spending more time looking at such, after all the other jobs that are found for are dealt with, and wondered if people could post links to such content on CT?

This week I followed a link to YouTube and a great collection of videos, MH centred, and in the past have often looked at  DKs, David Klyne, site Caravan Travels.

    I watch Youtube rather than TV which I almost never view. I watch a wide variety of content.

    One that I do follow is Vangaszmic Voyage. Donald has had a series of life events that, in his late seventies, has seen him buy an old van and do a simple kit out to enable him and his mentally disabled son to have some security in life. It is a view of a decent man trying to do his best for his son who needs mainly full time care. I personally find him an inspiration as well as being an insight into how the other half lives.

    Another regular watch for me is Mel's Van World. He has converted a number of vans over the years and is presently converting a Sprinter. He is a very entertaining watch with personality.

    My regular Sunday Watch is Mustie1, a guy from the states who works on many vehicle projects which often involve cars and vans from the sixties as well as various items of equipment. He is amusing and provides almost a first person view as he sorts out problems and gets vehicles from rustpile to road. He has been producing these videos for 9 years. His videos on a Sunday are quite long and usually around 1 hour. I and many others look forwards to them. It reminds me of when I worked on vehicles of the era.

    Mmmm, the difference between 'social distancing and isolating'!!

    In regards to 'social distancing' I have often found that using the phrase 'I am a caravanner' can have that effect!

    Hope you are filling your time and thanks for the suggestions.
