Smart i say

All you need is a sprinter van home

Yep!!! When I was in my late teens I lived in a nice caravan park in Adelaide in a cabin. Had toilet and a shower and I used a camping washing machine. All I ever needed

In agreement 👍🏼👍🏼

@Tony F Ah gotcha Yes. Van life with dogs could be tricky

Costing price plz

There are plenty of tiny home manufacturers in the US.

@@flyingking906 pricing is in the description, takes you to a new web page

@@flyingking906 it is to much money. That in this video is 109.000€ . Please look at garden houses . In Germany we have something like that for 10.000-20.000 Euro it is a garden House. A small garden House cost you 600 euro, a bigger one, 2000 euro.

@@celloallo4968 our prices are in AUD - $109,000 = $69,000€. In Germany there are less restrictions on building zones like Australia has.

Good luck with building a nice place for your mum. I hope everything works out for you both.

I agree, these caravan granny flats are awesome

Lakario Davis+ So kind of you! I pray you get everything you need to get it done quickly and cheaply.

your own land correct seems to be impossible to dio in the uk ireland let you live here full, time without prsmission?

Demountables are a thing in Australia as well. I think that VanHomes might be trying to market their products in a certain way as demountable homes have a reputation for being too warm in summer. That being said, the one demountable home that my family lived in briefly didn't have that issue at all.

Can I please move to Ireland? Australia sucks now. Local councils play God here, we can’t do anything. And our homelessness problem is growing worse everyday. Particularly for older women who stayed home to raise their children (so they don’t have much Superannuation saved). I’m in that category. Poor old ladies in their 70’s, living in tents or their cars 😢. Where I’m temporarily living in Victoria, there’s a huge rental shortage but we we’re not ‘allowed’ to live in a caravan in someone’s backyards for more than 12 months (and that’s IF they approve it with a permit). Caravan parks are closing down and the ones that are left have decades long waiting lists OR only allow part-time holiday living (not permanent). If you have some money, you CAN buy cheap land in the middle of nowhere but then they won’t ‘allow’ us to put a tiny house or a caravan on it 🤦🏻‍♀️. And the councils only approve granny flats and bungalows in backyards if you can meet all their ridiculously stringent rules, which many can’t. *And that’s if you have friends or family with a backyard they are willing to share. The waiting list for public housing in my area is also 25 YEARS PLUS!? And on top of all that, if you end up living in your car or van, that’s illegal here too 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️. Just having basic/shelter, a roof over your head shouldn’t be this hard (especially for the most vulnerable people) 😢 #TheWholeDamnSystemIsWrong

sounds fantastic! Go Ireland!!

@Sharon Keith that would do me...except when we get 980ml of rain like recently lol

@@lucyloose2841 please can you explain what you totally mean. I don't understand this. And I hope really that you can tell me. So that I know more information. Please tell me.

Thank you

@@celloallo4968 in Australia we have councils that manage alot of our country and they dictate alot of, if not just about everything you can build on your own private land...there a bit like a legal mafia that you need permission from and have to pay.

@@lucyloose2841 thank you for your answer

@@lucyloose2841 no better here in the States, in some states it’s illegal to collect rain water!

local government has way way to much say over what we do on our own land.If we aren't hurting anyone or being destructive as far as I'm concerned council can fuck off

You don't actually own it, since you pay land rights taxes, you just own the right to reside on and pay taxes for that land. When you sell it you hand over your deed to the land residency right to another serf who will have to pay taxes to the nobility into perpetuity. Failure to pay taxes leads to eviction and confiscation of land.

Why wouldn’t Vic councils approve it, it’s for a family member to live in on your property, you can get a council home in Vic put in your backyard for the very same reasons

@@sharonjones6783 There are very strict rules for putting a council granny flat on a property too.

@Tracey Crawford Do you know how tall the ceilings are to this VanHome because my height is 6"4.

@@chiraqhanns6952 I don’t know, sorry

Its that way all over.. id love to find a van dweller to share with.

@@cherriemckinstry131 Me too

I agree

The book "Field to Farm" shows how you can make a barn liveable without planning permission.

Its alot colder in UK needing way thicker insulation & double / triple glazing

Where did she get hers from ? And what part of NZ does she live in 😊

I want one!! I want it to be 1700sq feet. And i want it to be built in the jungles of fiji.

I'm not sure whether it's a national or local requirement but here in the Wanganui District, if you connect to plumbing or electricity (other than by an extension cord) it's deemed to be a building as well as a vehicle and requires a permit. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't get away with the fact that it's more than 30sqm once extended, either. If I'm wrong, I'd love to be corrected as we'd love to be able to get something like this!

@@Mr3kiwis - hi there!! My grandma and grandad have a generator for their electricity which they only turn on the evenings for a little while. They have some solar power and also gas for cooking etc. Their water comes from a tank on the roof, and they are not connected to sewage because they have a composting toilet - I think that's how they got around those regulations? They are on the West Coast of the South Island so regulations could also be different there as it's so isolated, they're out in the bush about an hours drive out of Greymouth :) I hope you can eventually find a solution that works for you so you can eventually have something similar :D

This one is on wheels too, like he said, it is registered as a Caravan.

Hi John, Great idea! We do advise this for customers in high wind areas, all VanHomes come with tie-down points around our base and roof line.

Hi beautiful How are you doing?

Depends on where you are based - this is legal in NSW. www.vanhomes.com.au/your-council-bypass

What about Queensland (sunshine coast council)?

​@@lekasiaptyltd probably be a yes with exceptions. I only say this cause aren't they kicking all the houseboats off the river??

A little fireworks accident may change your nosey neighbors point of view .

@@VanHomes What you dont tell people.. its only legal with exemptions, If that is on your property longer then 3 years youll be in trouble.. But I no doubt know you dont tell people that to make sales.

Register the property as a caravan park, that is one way around restrictive laws.

David Not Solomon Does that have any higher on going costs, as it would be seen as a business land?

This isn't affordable at all... Might as well just buy a mobile home.. or even a camper at half the price

Then the drama starts! Believe me, it gets tried a lot and it always ends up like that.

Awesome!!

How do you manage to that .I was going to buy land in Wales and live in a caravan but was told by councils that they wouldn't allow it.stuck with a house now. But would still like to do it

It's beautiful but let's be honest, this type is suitable only between subtropics , in temperate zone the draft in winter is gonna kill you.

yep agree - all relates to your council so check with YOUR concil and these guys to see if it can happen

Betcha they change those rules real soon.

@@lideabarker8161 They've had 13 years.

Yep, as long as there is an existing dwelling on your property for the 'overflow' of people.

If you have the land who owns you ? You pay rates, well shut your mouth and get on with living. Neighbor are a problem at times.

Hi Ken, Outside of NSW this is the case, however in NSW there is a statewide exemption for caravans that applies to every council. You can check it out here: bit.ly/3cjn4Gz

@@VanHomes Your talking about exemption b which requires the owner of the van also be the owner of the land, and the occupier be a member of the household. That's a very specific case and the one you actually site. You are technically correct in that specific case. It's just not the case for a lot of people wishing to do this. "(b) the installation of not more than one caravan or campervan on land occupied by the owner of the caravan or campervan in connection with that owner’s dwelling-house, so long as it is used for habitation only by the owner or by members of the owner’s household and is maintained in a safe and healthy condition, or"

​@@kenwebster5053 Yes that's correct, this video documents that this customer did not need council approval for her intended use, which falls under clause (b) A very large number of our clients use our product under this exemption, which is why we document that it can in fact be done as it's not currently a well-known exemption.

@@VanHomes alarm bells are ringing big time when you have to use loop holes in legislation. Legislation changes all the time. People honesty is questioned. I will say the houses do look nice tho. Don't think this will work. Just get council approval, get your own land and build a container home. Reason I look at this is because I live in NQ. block of land you can own for 80k near the beach. I know NSW is a different can of worms. I'm originally from Sydney and it's way overpriced it's a joke.

@@VanHomes How did this get hooked up to sewerage? Without that, it’s not a “granny flat” it’s just a sleepout.

Hi Anne How are you doing?

Yeah I can’t wrap my head around how they can tell us what to build on our own land. Corruption at its best.

Some parts of usa have rule against having RV in one’s own home , least my neighborhood does (HOA) .

er, homesteaders and tiny home enthusiasts have been using/abusing the "travel trailer" exemptions for years in the US. Pretty much all tiny homes either sits on a trailer base or its a houseboat format. There are a lot of reasons town/cities get into restricting builds and have zoning departments. Some good, some bad.

@@Rosesraspberries72 because it's not your land. You just lease it from the government. Want proof? Don't pay your yearly lease fee, ie property taxes

@@zebfox011 yeah the fuckers would take it away.

Hi, thank you for your comment and support for people's basic right to affordable shelter. In late 2018 VanHomes with one of its customer challenged a NSW Council in the Land & Environment Court resulting in a precedent be set clarifying "the grey area" that a member of the household of an existing dwelling on the property can permanently live in a caravan (the granny flat) without council approval.

@@VanHomes Congrats, hopefully the example makes it easier for others in the future asI know there are lots of councils that are just not open to it....

Well done! Just read this response

So no council permit required for the extra drainage connections? That'd be odd.

@@VanHomes does this also apply to QLD? And what does a flat like this cost, incl delivery etc as seen in this clip?

The granny flats are ok but poor Poppa! The Poppa pads are dark dank dreary and dull. But in Australia we like to keep our Poppas in piss poor conditions, cos they are usually such sour grumpy old bastards..

Hi sonya You got a cute name. Lol

YEAH I AGREE Council's are given too much power, They are the bottom feeders It blows me away how they they can actually demand $50 payment from you for your own caravan on your own block of land I mean $50 isn't a lot of money, But it's the principal of it, It's like they just had to get money from you NO MATTER WHAT COUNCILS really are just LOWEST OF LOW MONEY GRABBING ORGANISATION .

In US,NY state I pay 5000 dollars per year to stay on my own land....property tax !!

$1 a week. Fuck. The injustice.

@D Chapo It was sarcasm mate, $1 a week and he's whining.

My council wants to charge $100 per year for a shipping container on my farm because i didnt want to go through council to build a shed. Got a 20ft container instead. They want $100 per year.

Nothing about price! Why?

We sure will be!

Ooh a sense of humor, so refreshing on timid council fearing comments section 😂

Is there such a place .

@@sophiajoyceferry7150 Yes, most of the Republic of Panama. You just need the nod from a local architect. But since you are not actually architecting anything here, the architect would just need to ensure it is safe and structurally sound but mostly that the foundation upon which you plan to erect it is sufficiently sound to withstand it's weight for the duration of it's permanence. All of these things require a fraction of the red tape a Council usually requires. ukposts.info/the/di9MNEDRtJY4mpVSolRfjA.htmlvideos?view=0&sort=dd

Awesome thank you!

I think the nearest we could get in UK is a cabin made from containers!

Here in the UK after WW2 we built temporary emergency housing called "Prefabs" intended for 10 years usage, now 76 years later the ones in my town are still housing new generations of happy families. Cheaply built in a hurry does not mean they can't be good and appreciated. I'm a big advocate of practicality and diversity of options, after all people's needs are rarely identical to anyone else's.
