Again, many thanks all.

It is making me want to do this even more now.

I shall be having a good look at those links.

The trucks look a good idea, if you are combining your business and home under one roof.

Cheers all

Rich

I lived on a boat for 12 months, wasnt as romantic as you think! Condinsation was the worst problem, especially in winter when it was too cold to open a window etc for ventilation! I remember waking up one night in the middle of winter and the duvet cracked as I rolled over due to being frozen! I was going to install a woodburner but never got around to it, I spose this would have helped! Other things to think about are the lack of electricity (its suprizing how much you need it wothout realizing!) and the supply/disposal of water. If you can make it work then its great but its worth doing your homewrok first!

To be honest where I am now is so old it's like throwing fivers on the fire in winter.

No insulation apart from the loft. No damp proof course, double glazing or central heating.

Hell, the floor tiles are lying on earth in one room.

Same here but I have no plans to give it up and live in a caravan.

Fit a logburner if you haven't got one. Open fires are a waste of fuel.

 

Downside of caravans is cold in winter and a sauna in summer. Usually damp, cramped, no loo or bath/shower. Where does waste water go?

Living space in a 2 berth is your sleeping space too. Usually smell and you end up looking like a tramp, and you get treated like one too.

 

I think I would advise keeping your tenancy and having a wander in a van for a while to see how you get on.
