Vanother Collective - A Collaboration
Billed as 'A likeminded collaboration of caravan, campervan and motorhome vloggers. A group of likeminded content creators who share a mutual love for travel and camping'.
Well, I'd just started calling myself a campervan vlogger, and I do have a love of travel and camping. Should I get involved? I'm not sure. Sounds a big commitment to me. I'll ask some questions.
The first person I spoke to regarding the collaboration was Rich, from 'Only Vans' (when you know, you know).
The idea was to post a monthly vlog on a subject agreed between all of the collaborators, and act as advisors to eachother on vlogging, blogging, camping and chiefly, with technical difficulties arising on certain online platforms 😀.
Well that sounded manageable to me. 'Do you have room for a Dubber'?
The contact platform is very simple, using a group chat, on a popular social network. I was included in the chat and was immediately welcomed by everyone else already committed.
It was straight to business. The first task, a name for our collaboration.
I can't remember who came up with, Vanother Collective, but it just sounded right. Wouldn't you agree?
Then it was on to the subject of our first vlog. Well that was easy. An introduction. Five questions; How long have you been vanning? What got you in to vanning? What is your outfit? What is your most embarrassing camping moment? What is your number one camping tip?
Our first video launch was Friday 11th November 2022 at 18:00.
We all get settled in our homes or vans and sat and watched eachothers first vlog for our new 'Vanother Collective' collaboration. It was a wonderful way to get to know eachother properly, and see a little bit more than text on a screen from them.
Out of ten original vloggers that launched that evening, the majority are still uploading regularly and as of May 2023, we will have another two new collaborators, 'Nuts on Tour' and 'Grandad and Grandsons Adventures'.
The full list of Vanother Collective collaborators are, Volkswagen Camper Adventures, Only Vans, UK MoHo Touring, Hey Ho Let's Tow, Gallivanting Galante's, Our Leap Of Faith, The Chaotic Campervaners, Out And About With Mike And Donna, Nuts On Tour and Grandad and Grandsons Adventures.
We've all become friends and advisors, but as of yet, I haven't met a single other collaborator in the flesh. However, there could be a big camp out this year, where we will all descend on a chosen campsite, and I'm sure it'll feel as if we've know eachother a lifetime.
I assume, if you're reading my blog, you'll have at least some interest in campervanning. There are a few more campervanners in the Collective (not all Volkswagen, but nobody is perfect 😉).
The monthly vlogs go out on the first Friday of the month at 18:00.
Here's a link to the playlist. Please do head over and subscribe to everyone, and have a look at our older vlogs before the new ones go live.
Thanks for reading 🤙
