More updates on our campervan Morgan coming soon...in our efforts to save Christmas 2022. Wish us luck 🙏
ОтветитьThank you for the video
Hope you have a brilliant Christmas & get to see your families.
Keep putting out great videos too.
Has anyone thought of having a hybrid wind/solar energy set up?
ОтветитьWhen you’re paying £3.50 for a coffee instead of boiling up some water for 10p and dropping a 3p tea bag and dash of milk you’re going wrong.
ОтветитьVan life is as cheap or expensive as you make it
Ответить120 per week food,wow you must shop at waitrose....
ОтветитьGreat vlog very informative. I prob spend about £800 a month but its just me so only one mouth to feed hehe
ОтветитьThey've been working on making it impossible to live a van life in the UK ever since the 70's Convoy phenomenon
ОтветитьHi I feel for you with your mechanical issues, 2 quick thoughts when getting a reconditioned engine you really have got to find a reliable company do some research on this.
2 thought is that you could remove your Luton box and fit it to a more reliable chassis which might help in the long run.
One more thought the RAC aren’t very good with recovery and you’d be better off with the AA.
GOOD LUCK
How do you register vehicle insurance with no address? Or job.
Unemployment counts against you in insurance
why did u pick a citron they are unreliable trash
ОтветитьSorry about the Engine but if you lived in a house you would also have a vehicle to get about so you will have the same problems and a house full of problems 😢
Ответить£150 for fuel, your not living in a van your holidaying in a van
ОтветитьWell its not cheaper is it ...i have my accommodation and a van to oay for. Oncould get rid of the expence of accommodation.
ОтветитьI will 100% save money , I have a large storage unit where I have a music studio, with nice sofa, big tv ,heating and Gonna put a little stove and fridge/freezer in there , I can spend as much time as I want in there day or night but can’t actually sleep for insurance purposes which is fair enough it’s there’s an fire or explosion ( it’s in a modern warehouse with a lot of electrical stuff ) obviously the landlord doesn’t want to risk it so I’m gonna sleep in my small van I already use for my job as a long distance courier and it cost me £850 , I’m gonna put a layer of insulation in , make it nice and tidy , then ile sleep in my van outside the warehouse in a Locked compound , will get a portable power station for a little heater for winter and all I really need is a soft matt to sleep on and a winter sleeping bag my phone and a charger and that’s it , there’s modern toilets with a sink in the warehouse and I’m gonna join the gym for £20 a month to get fit and most importantly have a access to a shower 24hrs , ile basically chill in my studio till 11/12 go to sleep in my van then get up around 6 , go gym and then straight to work .. I’ve estimated I can save an extra 1000/1500 a month that would be swallowed up for rent , when in up and running.. if I like it ile get a nice, slightly bigger van .. quite looking forward to it 👌
ОтветитьHi, great video and good that it’s based on current costs however, just looking at winter costs isn’t really realistic because it’s going to be cheaper in summer so really you need to add up a year and work out a weekly average to get a true idea of costs.
ОтветитьHi folks, fantastic content. I live on a boat and can go where I like around our beautiful country ( a lot slower than on the roads though) Could I ask, how do you get your mail?
ОтветитьYou can't live in a van without some kind of income. That's a no brainer. I really don't get why you paid out so much for an old furniture wagon??
ОтветитьWill be converting another van in 2024, this time for full van life. If I can do it for a couple of years then I can do it for 10. By which point I'll be able to buy my Daughter a house and something small for me.
ОтветитьAnd I thought Aussies were getting ripped off for fuel, well we are but jeez you guys are paying 40% more and its so much colder there, no wonder your all complaining about the cost of living.
ОтветитьI want to live rent free, rent is 50% of my salary
ОтветитьBeen following this and Great respect for these guys but when i started adding the figures it s not cheap to me
ОтветитьBetter off on a narrowboat much cheaper
Ответить£80 a month for two mobiles! Insane!
ОтветитьHey, cheers for the vid been contemplating doing this for years now as im sick or wasting money for renting etc, im thinking of three vehicles, a luton to convert or just buying a horsebox not the 7.5 ton kn just bit smaller 😂and converting the back to accommodate my motorbike which will not be much to do, or just wait out for a ex military truck and convert that as all i be doing is driving it mostly on weekends and booking holidays off when i get chance. So many choices. And designs to thing about. And trying to sauce products and kit to build a home on wheels
ОтветитьThe very first vehicle I owned was a Toyota Hiace when I lived in NZ for 18 months! Thanks for the video, very useful.
ОтветитьYou are a great content creator but you clickbait thumbnails really need to stop. You literally tell the reverse of what your thumbnails suggest, and that ain't genuine.
ОтветитьWow, genuinely super expensive to me, we're a couple and use only 2k a year more than you do in a 2bed house, we did a cost break down of moving into a narrowboat and it was around £11k a year, much cheaper than vanlife but indeed alot more limited in travel
ОтветитьBut what if you don't travel and keep it local. Bulk stuff in storage centres. Showering in gyms and cooking in the van
Ответитьdon't move around as much will save you money i did it for 250 a month
ОтветитьThe one question that has always been in the back of my mind is… what do you do for a permanent address?
It’s ok if you have family or friends who are willing to let you use theirs, but what if you don’t?
I mean you’ve got to have an address for licenses and insurance etc. how do you truly live permanently in a van?
Hi. Loved the video; especially when you share how you make money. Very generous of you.
I wouldn't swap the engine because the electrics ina citroen are terrible and will give out eventually too.
I've had 2 citroens. I'd stick with a transit or mercedes etc. Good luck.
fantastic videos hope all goes well for the both of you. and your'e back on the road very soon
ОтветитьLast video of yours I saw you said it was way cheaper than living in a flat!
ОтветитьHow do you make money on the road ?
Also do you keep your house running aswell personal i know...
Very informative. But the thing is.... You can't drive a flat? You can't travel in a flat. You cant even nip to the shops in a flat. You certainly can't move a flat to be nearer to work to avoid travelling as far.
Basically van life is way better even if cost as much as a flat
Most of the things you are saying here you would have to spend anyway living in a house
Food
Heating
Vehicle repairs
Fuel for the car to get to work
Plus then you'd have a huge mortgage, council tax much higher bills
Hi, love the honesty in your videos, showing the good and the bad side of van life. I would just like to say that I believe you don’t get any ad’ revenue if the viewer skips the ad. So everyone, help support Liam and Jenine and watch the ads to the end, it’s only a couple of minutes, but will help them.
ОтветитьMost people just use there vans for the weekend & it's cheaper than getting a b&b you don't need to spend money on car parks overnight just find a road that's got no restrictions for parking like I do & I think trying to live in your van it's crazy it's going to be expensive if you're moving about all the time
ОтветитьWhat a load of rubbish I lived in a van for four years and saved a shit load of cash
ОтветитьShouldnt have gone with a shitroen
ОтветитьI spent 800 pounds for an old ford tourneo (passenger transit) and built a wooden bedframe and shelves for 200 or so. had a great 6 month tour of portugal/spain.
ОтветитьI can see it can be expensive.
It can also be much cheaper. You choose to live fairly well and go places. Others stay quite local and spend less using much smaller vehicles.
I'd love it. One thing would do do it for me. The nasty neighbours you have to endure when you are in a house. I loved it here so much that I bought it. Only to have my neighbours move out and the house be sold to a landlord. First tennants were lovely people. I didn't mind the noise so much as it was for a purpose and they always kept it to reasonable hours.
My current ones are making me ill with their narcissistic behaviour.
Any hour of the day or night, The noise starts and they do everything loud. All they care about are themselves.

No, on the road is definitely a good choice. I hope it works out for you. Have you thought of switching to a boat? Or...buying abroad. Cheap land out there and many people build their own homes. All you would need is somewhere to park?
You guys are brave doing van life in the UK. £2 a litre is obscene, if fuel cost that much here in the USA I couldnt even get to work!
Ответитьscrapping way make money see something shinny take it..... brass copper going a pretty penny now.
ОтветитьVan life you still need an address
I got stopped by police Bristol
I forget the situation it was road tax
But I had only bought the van and I got the v5 sent to my brothers house
In Ireland I will just say it became
Award . If some one could do a video on this and this only as I see
This the major complications
When I was in the shopfitting 2020
I rented a room in Harrow it was
£150 per week it was a large double
In 1986 I rented a box room Greenford £35 per week
When paying the £150 per week
A Liverpool guy said why don't you
Buy a van to live in so I did for 2.5 years and we had it to the tee
It saved me a lot. It's not easy
But it teaches you a lot
Hi I'm 15 and when I'm older I'd love to live in a van with me and I'd get a puppy. I'm starting to save now and I'm really excited this video is very helpful. I don't want to live in an apartment it seems boring to me and I would prefer to travel and be more nomadic. I have some questions though
1. Where do you go to the toilet? Do you have to stop somewhere everytime
2. If you buy a van in the UK where they drive with the steering wheel on the right side what happens if you go to say Switzerland where they drive on the left?
3. Is it cheaper to buy a van in another country?
4. What type of van should I get?
I’m living in London in a caravan trailer parked in a residential area , which the house is quiet far and I expend 50£ monthly parking No fuel . Charging batterie camping in Morrison or Pret, food and laundryexpend around 150 monthly
