Good evening to all my fellow caravaners out there...
My names Mark,and this is my first post since joining uk campsites tonight.
I trust this post finds you all well ?,wether tucked up in your vans pitched up on an indilic campsite or dreaming of your next big adventure as I am,??
As for me,I've decided to take the plunge and live in my van full time..
Why,?
Well read on and maybe some of what I'm going to say may resonate with some of you out there ?.
I had a lovely home,then downsized to a modern one bedroom flat,very nice and comfy (as my van is)but I quickly came to the Conclusion that I could have all the comforts of home in my van without the massive bills,mortage,council tax etc associated with owning a home..!
No brainer for me...so here I am..
And I love the lifestyle...
Yes,I fully appreciate as a single man this would represent no problems as I have no dependants,but I've read so many stories of families who are as like minded as me on various Internet sites and they have taken the plunge to..soo refreshing to have read all about thier success stories.
Mum's and dads are relaxed...the kids,no longer have that 1000 yard stare at thier computer screens,Facebook this,x box that...!!!
My niece and nephew live thier lives on thier phones...x boxes etc...
but when thier away with me in my van..its,uncle can we do this,?
Uncle,can we do that,?
They want to get out and about,do things...no phones or computers in sight,!...I love that,whether it's camping or caravanning,it brings families closer together..spend quality time together,and in a world of internet and all things keyboard related..
Nothing beats a night under the stars to drag them away from all that.
Yes..I've digressed from the main point of my post,but I'm sure there are a lot of mums and dads out there who understand where I'm coming from,?
Well,I'm not sure if what I've said tonight makes a lot of sense to my fellow caravaners out there,?
Whether your full timers,retired, or just love to get away in your vans on the school holidays,I hope some of you out there will drop by and say hi,?
Thanks for reading.Mark.

Good evening to my fellow full timers out there...
I trust you are all well and enjoying the freedom our vans gives us...Well,it's five weeks for me now,not an eternity I know,but long enough to see if I can cut it as a full timer,?...and the answer to that....
is a resounding YES,!
Was I worried from the start that I was doomed to failure in my new adventure,?
Not at all..what a relavation it's been for me,just wonderful. ....
work is only 5 mins away....
rise after a rest full nights sleep (my vans bed is so much comfier than any mattress I've ever had at home)go to work feeling rested and totally refreshed..
and to come home to my van at the end of the day is a welcoming site..
as is the fact that I can pack up in 15 mins and journey on to pastures new and literally take home with me,fabulous...
some have commented...love my van...for a holiday, but couldn't live In a box full time,!
Yes,there right if you spend every waking moment in there and experience nothing else,!
For me,I work 5 days a week....leave home at 8,back at 5...
But home is home,no matter where,how big,how posh,how much....!
A box,!!
No...My home..I love it...

Hi to my fellow full timers out there...
This is my first post for a good while since ive started living in my van full time...a few years methinks since i stated my intentions with regard to "living the dream in my van" but not really knowing how it would work out,seemed perfect at the time,but..how has it worked out,almost 3 years down the line,???
Well,for me...
Life couldnt be better..
As a single man on a modest wage ive been afforded the comfort of a home...!
My home,!!
Warm..comfortable...relaxed..stress free...
No mortage..no rent..no council tax..and i can survive and have a few pounds to spend on myself,and enjoy life,makes a change from working all the hours god sends just to pay the bills,and have nothing to show for it...
I turned my van into a fun place to live..for me at least..
Led lighting,bright colours inside instead of the depressingly sea of biege fixtures and fittings...
Had a brief moment of fame on Bargain Loving Brits in Blackpool last year on ch5 along with my friends which was fun..
A new year has begun,and plans are afoot for a few trips this year...
Any full timers out there please say hi and share your stories with me,???
Id love to hear from you....
Regards.Mark.

Good evening to you all out there...
Kenles has reminded me to update more often so i will endeavour to do so,havnt had the time to visit the site as often as i should.
I will try to rectify that...
Well..how has my life been 3 years on living in my van...
ITS GREAT,!!...
Its the norm for me now,any thoughts of bricks and mortar have long been consigned to the history books and i couldnt be happier...
21ft.. by 6ft,7
Everything i need..
Holidays...?
Hook my van up and go..
My home goes every where i go...
Work...my van is situated with all the power,cooking,water and washing facility's i need..
And may i add,at a fraction of the cost of a family "HOME"..
Downsides...to living in a van fulltime,??
Im sure there are many questions out there with regard to that,?
As ive always said im a single man and as such my circumstances are a little different from a families needs and concerns with living full time in a Van..
But they are out there and living their lives to the full and i wish you all the best...
Id love to hear fron you guys and let me know how life is for you,whether your single and living on your own in a van or a family,?
