@Dentistmentalust miserable I think is in your head..maybe I'm just different..the worse the weather the bigger my smile. Don't get me wrong I like the sunshine as well but the rain and wind beating my van is my favourite. 😀😀😀
I ❤ this video. I identify so strongly with the situation. I was in the same boat ten years ago. So, I started renting a lock-up garage and slept in it for four years, on a camp bed. I had a calor gas heater. I'm also an online seller, and I kept my stock in there with me. I also went out to work. I led a normal life. Joined the local leisure centre to use toilets and showers. Managed to live economically and save up!
Hi thanks for sharing your story do you have any tips how to find these lockup garages to rent? I’m just about to become homeless I’m spending 90 percent of my income renting house in London. Not sustainable anymore
I lived and worked in a bus garage for two years, I had access to showers, canteen, I was never late for work, slept on buses back seat, 6am start, saved enough to get a nice van, go where I want now, work when I want, living the dream.
For a year, I lived in my business unit. My unit had 3 seperate rooms, so I converted one room into my bedroom. It was great!!! The way I looked at it, why pay for a business unit and an apartment? i had everything I needed in my business unit including a bathroom, a small kitchenette a full size refrigerator, a microwave, a sink.....etc. So, I had two other rooms where I worked and conducted business ( I had an engineering consulting business) and the 3rd room was my bedroom complete with a queen size bed. Also, the landlord had a 24 hour security guard walking the property.
@@andrewlilley3660don't worry about this comment anyone. Its a russian bot designed to agitate and stir trouble...isnt that right so called 'andrewlilley3660'?
I like cars an dogs etc but something is wrong with the people that would make themselves homeless over an animal that only likes you cos you feed it 😂😂😂😂😂😂,an folk that say they prefer animals to humans....well theres something obviously wrong with them😂😂😂😂😂😂@@andrewlilley3660
How admiral well done you, a lot of people wouldn’t have thought twice about getting rid of their dog, but true dog owners know that this is just not an option. Life has thrown you a curve ball and you’re showing what you can achieve in such dark times.
I used to rent a farm unit and the bloke next to me was a carpenter who worked AND lived in his unit. The farmer turned a blind eye and we all had a 24/7 security guard. Good luck with the two of you ❤
Moving video ,love it .I am retired 68 year old male living on south coast of South Africa. I would never give up my dog for all the money in the world .
I came back to the UK with a dog I'd adopted from a shelter I worked at in Krakow. Fortunately I had a VW T25 campervan in storage so we had something to cook and sleep in. We looked for somewhere to live for almost two years and it was really impossible to find any flat that would accept a dog. Eventually we got sorted out with a caravan. Good on you for being loyal to your dog. The only thing that separated my from my boy was death. Best of luck mate.
NO! *We are getting a slow disclosure by one of the opposing 2 ET forces in the solar system.* Governments don’t try to shoot down these "drones" because they know it wouldn’t work. The technology is far ahead of anything we have-they move too fast, change direction instantly, and can’t be locked onto by our weapons. If they tried and failed, it would only confirm that these objects aren’t human-made, which could cause panic. It’s safer and smarter to study them quietly than to risk a failed attack and create more questions. We will see larger crafts over densely populated areas
Housing shortages and costs have made that stuff very common all the way across Canada. I've known heaps of people who decided to either do Van living, boat living and variations of that. When the cheapest one bedroom rental (if you can find one) in Vancouver is $2500/month and more than many people in a month all together after taxes, building a converted van is a great idea. The Sprinter is a great platform also. I've heard a few people say they are trying to crack down on this stuff though. Kinda like in the USA. Make being poor or homeless a crime and you can ''house those criminals'' in prison at a profit. Fortunately, not quite that bad yet here but like always, you have to watch your step and have a bit of luck. Good luck to you and happy new year from the Maritimes
Thumbs down, that dog will stink up the van, leave hair everywhere, give the old geezer breathing problems 💩💩💩 everywhere, I'm sure he could have given the dog to a family member
Such a fine man to consider your dog in your situation. So many people consider their animals expendable when they are having to relocate. Thank you for being a considerate person and loving your dog. 👌😘
what an amazing story, but not uncommon i fear. the housing situation in this country is appalling for so many different reasons. so glad you have worked it out and definitely did the right thing for you and your dog , well done hats off to you!!!
Hi Kev, I’ve just bought a small van because my future is very uncertain. I got a Toyota Alphard. The rental situation is ridiculous….I do wonder how many people are becoming homeless every day. I think it’s loads and apparently that is the main reason for many councils being bankrupt. The thought of living in crappy temporary accommodation and losing my dogs is terrifying so I’ve got the van as an insurance against that. I must say that it’s a nice prospect though…I love being in the van and I’m only 5’1 so a small van works well for me. Good luck with your channel…hoping to start one soon!
Well done mate - I have bend living in my mobilhome for 4 years here in Spain and I know I am much more comfortable than a hell of a lot of folks living in badly insulated - non maintained and very much overpriced crappy flats or houses here !!
I feel your pain, I had the same "email" in January, out of the blue, no warning. Not a nice feeling at all. I spun the landlady out telling her I was interested in buying the house, I wasn't, I was just buying time. I was not interested in renting again as the prices had gone to 4 figures a month. Luckily I was able to find a place to buy nearby and 10x better than I was renting. The poor sod who bought my rental still hasn't moved in because of the amount of work it needed. (that's why I wasn't interested in buying) if I was single I would have moved away and got a bigger house (out of the city) but having to keep a smile on a wife's face is rather expensive 😢 good luck for the future man.
I really love the way you show a photo of Rupert every time you mention him! I'm laughing because it's really endearing! I've got a staffy and he's the best thing in my life. There's no way I'd ever "rehome" him, for whatever reason, so I completely understand where you're coming from! You're actually living the life I'd love to live, so keep up the good work and thanks for the videos, mate!
What a lovely man you are. You can always tell the worth of people with their love of animals. Rupert is very lucky to have you and visa versa. I wish you both the best of luck. God bless 🙌
Proud of ya mate! Well done, I done it for about 3 years but am now in a 1 bed flat with 2 dogs. I hate it! 😂 I’m starting to save for a van again & praying! Looking forward to more encouragement by subscribing to you! All the best! 👍🤞🤞🤞
Hey man of course you could not give up Rupert! Unbelievable that people would even suggest that, shows their character for sure. My little guy passed away and I miss him so much, he was my little adventure buddy but now I go on adventures myself. You and Rupert have fun out there so glad you have each other!
Good for you for thinking outside the box and getting you both a home. You'll be saving a lot on rent now too, which is the icing on the cake, but do make sure that you're putting enough aside to keep up with any van repairs and a new van in future too. I'm looking forward to seeing how the van build comes along and walks with the hound
Good for you . I was a truck and bus driver in the music industry for 40 years , and I lived in a self=converted Iveco Daily XL on my off times , it was fine for me so it;ll be fine for you and Rupert I hope . I don't live in the UK anymore , I now have a partner (which was not expected having been single for 40 years ) and we now live together in their 1 bedroom flat in a warm climate
What a lovely video. You’re a great chap who loves his dog and doesn’t want to be separated. I wish you the very best. My dog is my best friend and companion.

Dogs live for 14 years, more or less. Why would anyone let an animal, dictate their life? People who have animals, are classed as owners. Nobody owns an animal! They are just the caretaker.
I have met many people, many good and nice people and have travelled to many countries. Now I met you, and you are one of these good and nice people who bring inspiration to others. You are a survivor in a meaningful way. A man who takes care of his dog, and himself. And others. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Thank you from Oslo, and a very good Year to you. Cheers 🙂
Either your paying off your own home [ mortgage ] or your paying off someone else's [ rent ]. Once you get into a van etc your savings SOAR and you can get a bigger/better one pretty soon. Also because your mobile, you can move with the seasons, no more extreme summers or extreme winters - SWEET!!!
I admire your values, your commitment to your work and your foresight. It was a pleasure to view the video and hugely inspirational to others that may also find themselves in a similar situation, moreover, you have a love for your dog that is evident, which I am sure is reciprocated. I wish you both well over the weeks, months and years to come since you are deserving of such, a Gentleman with values and morals which is rare. Kind regards.
Well done brother. I had 2 dogs once both passed over now but like you I would have lived in a cardboard box with them rather than re home them . Van life is what you make it . Had a couple myself . You got a great attitude. 👍👍👍
You only need a few things in life!! Food warmth and Rupert. So glad I came across this I’m in a similar situation as you sadly no dog. In currently converting a van myself.
. this 'loving dogs' here in uk is very freaky to me ...ive seen women giving them kisses mouth to mouth or mouth to dogs nose ..there was also a documentary on this subject many years ago on tv .....where the couple said they 'love' their dogs more than their children ...remember how the UK evacuated 'Dogs' from Afghanistan ....prioritised over people does your dog sleep next to you like a wife would? ...or has it a separate doggy space away from you . . .
It's a real shame you had to move, but you sound positive and you're making a life for yourself....and Rupert. LOVE that Ruperts photo was shown frequently too ❤️
Thank you for not getting rid of your dog well done hope you manage to do what you need to do with your van I’m sorry you had to leave your house. I wouldn’t get rid of my dogs for anyone or anything. Good luck!!
Never ever get rid of your best mate. No matter what, they would never get rid of you. Animals rely so much on their Mum's and Dad's. Things will get better and good luck.
Smart move. I've spent years in vans in the UK and on the continent. I have a base in Andalucia and stops throughout Spain and France. I'm very respectful and low key and have little problem with parking in the main.
i ran a business back in the day outta a camper van..boxes n shipping tape in the bathroom from floor to ceiling..loved it..done business sittin by the river catchin dinner.
Rehoming my dog would have never been an option!! Although, my Maggie’s been gone nearly 10 years, I still miss her every day!! All the best to you and your dog:)
I would do exactly the same mate. A dog (Rupert is lovely) is a family member and not a luxury (estate agents have no soul). You have bought yourself all the time needed to find a new home. That is if you want another one. I lived in my Kangoo for weeks when working away from home and it's surprising how you adapt. All the best mate.
I bought a van because I don't know if I'll be homeless soon. My Mum owns this place but needs to sell it to fund her retirement. I'm disabled and can't afford market rental prices so would need public housing but Australia is in a massive housing crisis. So the van is my insurance if anything should go awry. I have a Queen size bed in it already.
Great respect for a person that considers their pet a family member!
Thank you...Kev
Don't worry mate you are on the right side of the Universe
Retired..75..live in an ambulance..no conversion needed..heat .light..storage all done for you.its a great life..keep living yours.❤❤❤
Very convenient for when you need to get to a hospital.
What about the winter months. Must be a bit miserable in there, isn't it?

Great video. Good man you're getting your life in good order. Keep moving forward. ❤
Well done, sir. I admire your freedom of spirit.
I like the fact you show a picture of your dog when you mention it
Excellent! Best to you and your dog. I would never give up my dog either so bless you for that.
Never ever get rid of your best mate. No matter what, they would never get rid of you. Animals rely so much on their Mum's and Dad's. Things will get better and good luck.
Silly attitude
You're not their parents, you're the wrong species.
@@83dude No it's your >uckwittery that's silly!
Good on you for making this work for yourself and Rupert. Your positive outlook is inspirational. I'm starting my channel on 1st January and I'm 60.
Wow.. how heart warming.. what a man ..merry Christmas and happy new year to you and Rupert. Stay safe and best wishes for the future to you both.
Good luck to you and your dog. 😊❤️
New subscriber, best wishes from kent. Hubby and i lived in a van for a year when it was time to leave our rental....best year of our lives!
Thank You for posting, Good Video 👍, Good Luck To You.
God bless you and your dog hope all goes well for you both 😊😊😊😊😊
Smart move. I've spent years in vans in the UK and on the continent. I have a base in Andalucia and stops throughout Spain and France. I'm very respectful and low key and have little problem with parking in the main.
i ran a business back in the day outta a camper van..boxes n shipping tape in the bathroom from floor to ceiling..loved it..done business sittin by the river catchin dinner.
Rehoming my dog would have never been an option!! Although, my Maggie’s been gone nearly 10 years, I still miss her every day!! All the best to you and your dog:)
I would do exactly the same mate. A dog (Rupert is lovely) is a family member and not a luxury (estate agents have no soul). You have bought yourself all the time needed to find a new home. That is if you want another one. I lived in my Kangoo for weeks when working away from home and it's surprising how you adapt. All the best mate.
I bought a van because I don't know if I'll be homeless soon. My Mum owns this place but needs to sell it to fund her retirement. I'm disabled and can't afford market rental prices so would need public housing but Australia is in a massive housing crisis. So the van is my insurance if anything should go awry. I have a Queen size bed in it already.
It's a good insurance Brendan, I'm sure you will find a way. Is that you playing the guitar in your video? Kev
❤good luck matey 👍
