From Delivery Van To Comfy Home: Living Off Grid For £150 A Week!

[@lenpeeters4498]

Your channel is so spot on. It´s all about the people instead of the vehicle they live in. Really refreshing and rare. Keep this style of content. All the best from the Netherlands

[@spartacus4929]

Totally agree, the segments about why they choose this way of living and what led them to it are the best. Van is secondary.

[@spartacus4929]

‘Yes you can come in but you’ll be going out in pieces’ Brilliant.

Very nice channel and I do hope you guys grow because I think you’re wonderful! I love my van life! Four years now, sold everything in 2020. Nature has healed me so much, lost 55 pounds and eat clean food. No mortgage, no property taxes. We never own our homes even if it is paid off. The banks own us. So now I can honestly say “I own my house!” ❤

[@camillaholst7321]

I really like your comment. Clear, calm and spot on. I also bought a van in 2020. Are paying off debt, while waiting till both my son can live by themselves. Made these years into a boot-camp: training my brain and body to live in peace with uncertanty and try to liberate my thinking from the way society formed it. Very impowering! Living healthy, and travelling light through life. Working only 4 days a week. Less money, yes. But more time with my beloved sons, family and friends. Everytime I come across humans like you, it warms my heart - because everyone express love and freedom in their "new" way of living. And so, your comment made my day. Thank you for sharing. Greetings from Camilla in Denmark ☀️

[@SentiessenceAlbion]

[@JazzFunkNobby1964]

I like the look of the van inside and out. As a single man I particularly like the interior. You've got everything you need in there and because you don't have a female companion, it doesn't have to look like a show home. It is what it is and that's enough. How long will this van last before rust kills it?

[@Road__Viking]

Thank you 😁 and Exactly that 🙌🤟 Haha with knowing that these rust when I wanted one I found a none rotten one and have tried everything in my power to slow that process down and yes with a few little welding repairs to the front out riggers she's in great shape . Gets under sealed once a year so fingers crossed 🤣🤞

Love the red. I have the same symbol that is on the back of your van as a tattoo! I also have the tree of life tattoo that I got for my son when he passed away. I think it's really smart to have two vent fans.

[@adm58]

Interesting, but I want to know, how do people manage without a fixed address? Just registering and insuring the vehicle requires a fixed address; banks require one too, as do phone contracts and most govt related activities, such as taxes, NHS, etc. P.O. Boxes and other virtual addresses are not accepted for many essential purposes. It's very frustrating as I think many more people would live nomadic lives if it were simpler to do (of course, deterring that will be the reason it is made difficult).

[@Road__Viking]

A registered address does not mean you have to live at that address . So most will use a family members address or a close friend for the main requirements that demand an address and they are happy to accept said address . It's more a form of contact then a requirement to be living at said address

[@adm58]

@@Road__Viking yes, but that requires having someone. It's also actually illegal to give an address you don't actually live at for car insurance (it voids the insurance) and for a bank account (it's bank fraud). I mean a way to do everything legally, honestly and independently.

[@Road__Viking]

@@adm58 well that goes down the individual... You can "live" at an address and not stay there that often ... And still live in a van . A van is a vehicle not a building . Not something with a post code ... So I guess it's just how you look at it . But each to their own 🙌 life is for living not playing in the governments pocket
