Whatever videos you post, I would add a disclaimer.

This could prevent you being sued when somebody gets blown up by a bad installation, or even gets hacked to death after being gassed by a mad axe murderer in a dodgy location.

Do you really think Annie can be fairly classified thus?

But that was when it was a slab of memory foam on the floor!

A basic beginners guide, things that you take for granted after a while, filling with water, emptying the toilet (not actually emptying a full one) but showing how to do it
Those types of thngs
 
Lots of great and useful subjects to add but keep them short and punchy. Not huge amounts of tiny details as these can confuse the intended message and watch-ability.
 
there are so many sensible suggestions here.. sorry about my frivolity ! Maybe once Phil has decided what his list of topics is going to be - some of us could volunteers to research on Utube for him, looking for pre-existing bits of film - so that Phil could use links for a lot them.....

if the info is there..... no one need reinvent the wheel !!
 
don't think it has been mentioned yet except in terms of increasing GVW ....

Weight - Importance of Distribution; Implications of being overweight of handling, tyres & legality; tricks and tips to reduce weight.
 
Big question.
Most of the valid suggestions made are already well represented on many platforms.
Anything technical should be submitted for peer review to ensure correct information is given. What about sticking to the brand and give advice on the do's and don'ts of Wild Camping including what is or isn't lawful.
 
I will be truthful and you may have noted I odnt post much on electrickery questions ...Inverters are a mystery to me...so a simple explanations rules of thumb for size etc and possible alternatives I would find interesting...and I dare say not alone

I may be wrong, but I'm not sure this new venture is strictly confined to Wildcamping?
 
My tuppence worth.
the Phil fan club here will watch you Phil if you put up a vid showing how fast a certain paint will dry. I don’t think that’s the point of making the vids ( but I could be wrong ) and as for some of the suggestions wow , how to empty a toilet cassette? I’m hoping that one was in jest. The next idea will be why not show how to put the key in the ignition.
People seem to think that only newbies will watch . And themselves of course. But the whole point is to drive traffic to the vid site.
Your toys and reviews of the toys , great idea. Where you are parked up , maybe a review of a pub that allows motorhomes. Anything in the news that pertains to motorhomes , with a “ What do you lot think , let me know in the comments below”
When making the vid remember to modulate moderate and emphasise. Now worse than a voice that sounds as though the text is being read. Get excited , get angry .
Live vids are ok , but once in a while. When you go live you are live , with every mistake and stutter on show. Editing is your friend. Maybe using 2 cameras from different angles . 10 mins of seeing one person without moving is boring , cut , cut and cut again.Watch tv , even newsreaders are shown from different angles after a few seconds.
Be different try and have a usp. Snappy fast and witty. Make people want to watch your next vid as soon as they have finished watching their first.
Maybe this isn’t what you wanted to read but surely my opinion is as valid as anybody else’s.

Don't think I agree there, Ed, especially if they're educational and not just for entertainment they need to be detailed.
 
Ohhhh , why not ask people on the sites to ask you questions. Not live . Maybe a “ Phil reply’s “ slot where you answer 5 or so questions that were submitted the week before. Giving you time to swot and get YOUR point of view across on the question. It will get you even more feedback which in turn other viewers will comment on . And on it goes building all the time.

Hi Carol , I think it is a really difficult balancing act having done cooking demos in the past ...some people need the basics to give them confidence to set off on their journey others want a far more detailed and technical explanation ...getting that balance is really hard ,,god knows how you did that as a teacher drive me mad,

On reflection I watched an excellent programme this morning at an unearthly hour about the Humber Bridge ( Bridges of Britain ) Naturally where we live it is of interest and I know it reasonably well, factoids which to my mind I found interesting and then explanations of design challenges they came across and after 9 years...really well presented the presenter never seen him before but excited by it ( that's important) and took trouble using models at one point to demonstrae was achieved so really interesting on different levels

Many years ago I traded with a chap called Pete Hickson , Pete would buy and sell anything literally ...I know he bought a llama and traded it on to couple of minesweepers and a frigate, but his real passion was generators ....wow by the time he had finished such was his infection your life was empty without a genny .my point being that enthusiasm and engagement is something you cant train nor buy .I think if you are making videos like bridge man that is the secret perhaps of presenting

There is a guy on YouTube who does some good videos with a technical bent. David Bott of "outside our bubble" (I think that is the channel name). Bit of a mad presenter and fun to watch for that reason. Full Timer in a massive 45' RV and very technical guy (amongst other things he started the AVSForum). Videos like he does, but on products for the UK Market would be very good I think.
