Update: I have recently updated this video for 2022 - check out the new video here • Cost of Living In a Mo...
Today I'm answering some of the most popular questions I get;
- How much does it cost to live in a motorhome?
- How much does van life cost?
- What are the monthly expenses living on the road?
I get these question from loads of viewers and subscribers that are looking at van life for themselves and it's understandable and wise thing to think about before jumping in.
I break my van life costs down into 5 categories
1. Upfront/one time costs
2. Monthly expenses
3. Maintenance
4. Major costs
5. Emergency costs / Plan B
I'd love to hear what you think about these in the comments below, and to other vanlifers do you agree with the monthly costs or am I way out?

That's true. I'm not a hippy or a tree hugger but it's just plain wrong that we all NEED to work the majority of our lives. NEED to pay for EVERYTHING and fall into society. Wish it could be an easier life. Theres enough of everything for everyone. We may only get one short life on this earth and we spend most of it working and paying instead of enjoying

Nice guy and I'm sure he spends all his money on the things on his list but the reality is that apart from what is spent soley on the motorhome itself, everything else is irrelevant. No matter whether you live in a bedsit, flat, house or whatever, you still pay bills. For example, I live in a bungalow, pay for phone, t.v, internet petrol, car tax, insurance, m.o.t, servicing and so on. If I was explaining "bungalow living" what would be relevant is what i spend on home insurance, gas, electric, water and sewage, painting and decorating, repairs, council tax, etc.

I just stumbled across your video by accident. I've wanted to full time for years but my late partner was a proper home bird. I've been converting a box van into a motorhome tor the last 18 months. I took the plunge, retired early at the end of August, then fractured my ankle four weeks later which has slowed me down a bit. I think I should be ready to go full time early next Spring. I had been going over and over the costs and came up with similar figures to yourself. I'm not a telly watcher so I wouldn't have the cost of all that. I like my radio, music, play a couple of instruments badly, read books, like building stuff (I'm and electronics hobbyist) The only thing I need to watch is booking up for too many festivals! I can generally feed myself well on £20 to £30 a week and being retired will have all the time in the world to prep meals rather than buy out. Of course I have budgeted for pub stops, meals out, sightseeing and stuff. Keeping some money in the bank for emergencies is a must in case, god forbid, your home gets totalled or stolen, at least until the insurance pays out. Anyway, I have just subscribed and will be catching up on your other videos. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Hey Darran, I can't tell you how useful this is to me. I'm still in China, but my van plan is still on. I'm just glad the cost can be offset with regard to not paying rent and council tax. I might wanna include my maintenance costs into a monthly budget too, but we all do things differently. P.S. you forgot about that window blow out you had not long after getting your van.

All good stuff, however, seem to be 3 glaring omissions. Wear and tear items - things like tyres, brakes (and clutch judging by how you get through tyres), all the longer term stuff that can be broken down to monthly based on your use and mileage. For the project to be sustainable, you need to include depreciation which I guess will be heavier than normal for a rig that is lived in full time. Finally, unless you park in the truck yard, how much is the seasonal pitch?

I am looking to do this with my wife , we have a 3 bedroom house we rent it for 850 pounds per month, if I could buy one of those I could save alot more money for my deposit so I can eventually buy a house and this way when the house was bought I would have a motorhome to travel with, I am so so so hyped but I am also so afraid of doing it. What would you suggest? Am I being insane ? Cheers from a Portuguese guys that lives in Felixstowe ❤️❤️

Very watchable and informative video. Mind you, you should really remind people that your budget includes having transport. So it compares to the cost of someone having to run a home, and a car. So you could probably reduce the running costs of personal use of the motorhome in your calculations. It’s the same for the general upkeep of the motorhome, because we have upkeep costs of our homes too. So your water pump cost is balanced out by my washing machine repair guy cost. Thanks, I used to wonder if it was a good idea, now I know 😀

Hi all, yeah like the last comment says there is no great secret to dumping tanks it's just a very sensitive subject with non van life's and the general public who don't want to and can't understand the whole van life thing. So yeah grey water goes down any drain, it's just shower and washing up water...pretty much the same as the bucket of water people wash their cars with. Black water (toilet) goes down a friend's toilet, public toilets, or stop at small camp sites and pay a few quid to empty tanks. Hope this helps 😊😊👍🏻👍🏻

Hey Fella..just watched your video and gave me a shit load of answers. This way of living is better than renting and having a mortgage. U said it would be around 500 pounds a month, im currently spending more than that living in a 2 bed house so im now thinking of doing the van life...ive watched a few other videos of van lifers in the UK and got answers from them...one question i do have regarding this type of lifestyle....do u get hassle from council officials etc for parking where u want? i know some of them have moved people on...great video and thanks for helping me get the answers i need...

Been using a motor home for years ,it’s a bus sized one. One thing all motorhomers should have is a building / large shed to keep your motorhome in the winter . Great for keeping it out of the worst of the weather and makes repairs and servicing easy. Also doubles as a store for spares and fuel . It’s got to be linked to the services ,electric and sewage. It’s a live saver and a financial life line as it’s a place to extend its vans life and reduce the wear and tear.

Why are there such idiots commenting horrible comments on this guy. I have depression, want a new life, WILL have the money to do it right, if I listen to a guy like this who is brutally honest and admirable and knows what he’s talking about. He speaks from the heart. Come on people, at least he had the b##s to do it, and I wish him all the success.

I lived in a vehicle back in the days when we were called 'new age trvelers' the biggest saving was not having to pay for a place to park up. I now live on a boat and have to pay moorings and the people i know living in campers pay to be on a site, so how do you avoid that cost?

@jasonclarke7422 4 жыл бұрын
donald gilchrist sadly there is no way of avoiding costs these days,unless you take a camper van to Scotland where you can wild camp for free, but for me living the other end of the country it would be a bit of a hassle.
