Totally agree with so much of what you say about the freedom and simplicity of living in a vehical. We’ve lived in a 1977 Bedford school bus in different parts of Australia for the past 4 years. Sometimes we are moving every day, sometimes we spend a few months somewhere, following the sun and jobs. Keep on keeping on, I say, who needs a house when you’ve got a lovely home (on wheels!)

OK, none of this works . A) this guy is not driving legally . Any modified truck must have all modifications declared to the dvla. To register as a camper van, your vehicle must ,by law have at least 3 windows on the sides , plus graphics Indicating the vehicle is a camper van . ( if these conditions are not declared ,YOUR INSURANCE IS INVALID , meaning g an awkward pig could have this truck seized and potentially crushed , plus 12 points on his licence for driving without valid insurance .)) B) " fridge needed for COLD BEERS "??? Anyone drinking in any vehicle cannot consume more than the legal alcohol driving limit or they risk being charged with " ""drunk in charge of a motor vehicle "" Meaning an automatic 12 month driving ban ..... There are ways around these problems ... but this guy is clearly not aware of them .
