    Good stuff guys. I use mainly P4N which is good for the continent too. Yes, you have to read into some of the reviews and double check with Google Maps, but it's been great for me. I also try to leave honest reviews. You can do some filtering by looking at the icon of the person leaving the review. They have different size motorhomes in the icons so you can (kind of) filter the comments that way. I've also been getting better at having a backup plugged into the GPS just in case.

    • @StuartandAndyVanLife
      @StuartandAndyVanLife 10 днів тому

      Great question! Most campervans and motorhomes can be driven on a standard driving licence. They are made with the 3.5T limit in mind. So we can both drive Avandra on our existing licence as she's 3.45T (officially). However Stuart cannot drive anything heavier as newer driving licences don't allow it. I'm way old and can drive up to 7.5T! If we went for a Morelo (haha no chance) at 18T I would have to obtain a HGV licence.

Having gone through it ourselves and living in our van for nearly two years we're in a good place to help anyone who's thinking about it.

More younger people are going to van living,& of course there's 😉 still the "grey brigade"!

      Our van is 1996 and is certainly showing it's age right now - your comment reflects exactly where we are right now! How much do you keep paying for repairs before you draw the line? But we will pay as it still has a good value as a lower cost motorhome. But yes, one day it will become too much to repair. Thanks for watching and commenting.

    It still costs more to have a house than living in a van that's why more people are doing it . We have two cars in our family they all need tyres insurance fuel MOT wheel alignment because of pot holes... road tax services house insurance council tax emergency fund over the Christmas period we had to replace the gas boiler just over 3 grand to replace. I still say you have a fantastic way of life much cheaper... Gas and electric well over 1500.00 in a year.. water rates.house repairs and materials. Stay into van life it's much cheaper by far.... The cost to have a house with bank repayments ie mortgage and bank rates... It's costing me just over 2 grand to keep my head above water without or saving any thing for a break or emergency fund. And remember you go on about food and drinking water if you live in a house you would still have to eat and drink and have a mobile phone. Good luck boy's Lots of love and best wishes Geoff and Samuel.
