Full Time UK Motorhome Living Costs – Van life Monthly Budget

Full Time UK Motorhome Living Costs – Van life Monthly Budget

Today I’m answering some of the most popular questions I get;

– How much does it cost to live in a motorhome?
– How much does van life cost?
– What are the monthly expenses living on the road?

I get these question from loads of viewers and subscribers that are looking at van life for themselves and it’s understandable and wise thing to think about before jumping in.

I break my van life costs down into 5 categories

1. Upfront/one time costs
2. Monthly expenses
3. Maintenance
4. Major costs
5. Emergency costs / Plan B

I’d love to hear what you think about these in the comments below, and to other vanlifers do you agree with the monthly costs or am I way out?

    How much do you pay for overnight parking? I’ve got a motorhome and campsites now a day’s are getting exspensive , just came back from pinewood in Wells-next-the-Sea £42 per night ,I think campsites are uping the price do to a late start to the season because of COVID

  23. Henchy3rd on February 16, 2021 at 10:06 pm

    I live on a narrow boat.. been toying with the idea of van life.

  24. Pavol M on February 16, 2021 at 10:07 pm

    Hi. I really like your video! Could you please let me know when you keep your motorhome / van? Is it on car park or you move your home every time. Do you commute in your motorhome or you have car?
    Have a nice time…

    You forgot your subs to Pornhub and the Pieclub

  32. Lee Anderson on February 16, 2021 at 10:13 pm

    Love this blokes matter of fact, laid back and totally open presentation. As someone who dreams of owning a motor home will be keeping an eye on his videos while he was is doing them.
    I have a question. Do you stealth camp as you didn’t mention costs for camp sites and connecting up.

  33. Shechai Yah on February 16, 2021 at 10:13 pm

    what about parking your rig? What are those costs?

  34. Carlo Cretaro on February 16, 2021 at 10:13 pm

  35. Patrick Bernie on February 16, 2021 at 10:16 pm

    Love the bit about I don’t eat loads, next you’ll be saying you retain water. Bollocks!. You retain chips! Enjoying the vids, remember -f*** em

  36. bluerineim B on February 16, 2021 at 10:17 pm

    I carnt see how it is possible to live full time ether in a camper or a van.
    1st you still need a proper permanent address to have car insurance & road tax if your living in a can you don’t have one so there is my 1st point. 2 how can you have a mobile phone or eny device that requires internet or a contract if you don’t have a permanent address 3 you still need money for food fule etc so onless you have a bag full of money you still need a income ie a job also a bank account so correct me if I’m wrong how is it possible to live full time in this way

  37. R M on February 16, 2021 at 10:19 pm

    I’m 1:40 mins into the video and I already want to go to a pub with u and talk about life

  38. Lesley Cunningham on February 16, 2021 at 10:19 pm

    I live and eat like a budgie . I do my own repairs im lucky that way. I hope you are still living the dream mucker.this has been a useful info

  39. Phil Garrod on February 16, 2021 at 10:22 pm

    You went straight to the target.

  47. Zukko Tv on February 16, 2021 at 10:32 pm

    Totally felt in love with your sense of humour, I googled living in a motor home and your video popped in straight away I am glad, thanks for your sharing! I am looking to do this with my wife , we have a 3 bedroom house we rent it for 850 pounds per month, if I could buy one of those I could save alot more money for my deposit so I can eventually buy a house and this way when the house was bought I would have a motorhome to travel with, I am so so so hyped but I am also so afraid of doing it. What would you suggest? Am I being insane ? Cheers from a Portuguese guys that lives in Felixstowe ❤️❤️

  48. Sailor on Wheels on February 16, 2021 at 10:33 pm
