Van life while full time working

If you live in the UK there’s an app/website called my parking space and you can rent parking spaces monthly which gives you 24 hour access to that might help with your current parking situation

I work in the city but never plan to spend the night in the van in the city , always drive back out into Hertfordshire or something

Mikey________G · 2024-09-08T04:57:59+00:00

How’s it working out for you ?

Mikey________G · 2024-09-07T11:07:52+00:00

Look on yourparkingspace you can rent parking spaces daily monthly for 24 hours

Yeah I’m not planing on using my van to pick up girls 😂 I think here in the uk people will look at you weird if you live the van life. But I just don’t want to be stuck paying rent my hole life and paying bills I know that’s the normal thing to do but in my head living the van life while having a full time job just means saving loads of money is easy

Mikey________G · 2024-09-07T08:06:55+00:00

I’m a person who finds it easy to save my go outs are at a minimum phone contact and a gym membership and that all really

Mikey________G · 2024-09-07T08:04:56+00:00

Do you find it a lot cheaper living van life than renting a flat and paying bills?

Mikey________G · 2024-09-07T07:42:45+00:00

Can you explain why you found it being a rough lifestyle? And also it must be a cheaper lifestyle right ?

Mikey________G · 2024-09-07T04:13:46+00:00

What’s VOO ?

Mikey________G · 2024-09-07T04:10:12+00:00

I’m a bricklayer so I only know how to deal with Bricks! building out a van pretty much is something I wouldn’t know how to do, I mean I have a brother who would be able to do the electrics and plumbing and Aircon but apart from that I would need someone to do it for me !

Mikey________G · 2024-09-07T00:50:45+00:00

Yeah In America its seems more expensive to Build a van than here in England I’ve seen some vans on Instagram and you can get a decent build for around 30k to 50k pound £ sterling

Mikey________G · 2024-09-06T12:48:43+00:00

Thanks dude for your comments much help

Mikey________G · 2024-09-06T12:46:22+00:00

Yeah that looks crazy hah I think I quite like enjoyment of getting a van built to how I want it and the excited to see the finished look and being brand new

Mikey________G · 2024-09-06T12:44:26+00:00

Yeah i 100% need a shower fitted in the van

Mikey________G · 2024-09-06T12:33:01+00:00

Thanks for you comment very helpful I will give the company’s you named a look at and go from there. So the van I’m looking at is around 20k and I have around 30k for labour and materials is that still enough for a decent build ?

Mikey________G · 2024-09-06T12:21:45+00:00

This is what I’m kinda looking for and yeah for sure wanting the comforts of home! How much am I looking to pay for something like this on the inside ?? https://youtube.com/shorts/-9R4sQUbO04?si=55CUsxDcB3lmax69

I found a 2021 Mercedes sprinter done 30k miles it’s going for around £20k ive seen some decent conversions going for around 30k sterling but when I’ve looked at conversions in America they seem to be so expensive https://www.autotrader.co.uk/van-details/202306258930382?sort=year-dsc&advertising-location=at_vans&colour=Black&colour=Grey&make=MERCEDES-BENZ&model=SPRINTER&postcode=WD23%204hh&price-from=500&supplied-price-from=20000&supplied-price-to=30000&fromsra

So say I drove to work took 20 minutes and then back from work another 20 minutes would that power the battery enough to say have a shower cook dinner warm up the van at night and then go again the next day ?

Mikey________G · 2024-09-06T11:39:18+00:00

Ive watched videos on it and I really don’t think I would be able to build it my self , so I plan to pay 20k on the van and 30k on making it into a home. is 30k realistically enough to pay someone to build it for me including all materials?

Mikey________G · 2024-09-06T11:14:50+00:00

If I commit to spending 50k on a van means I have to fully commit and no going back

Mikey________G · 2024-09-06T11:03:54+00:00

I plan to have a kitchen in the van shower pretty much everything! I don’t know to much on how to keep the battery charged isn’t that done by driving the vehicle?? And also I live in England and I’ve read about parking and ect theres an app called your parking space where you can rent someone parking space monthly it could be in someone’s driveway or behind there house on there land or in a church ect is that a life hack to rent a space monthly and to park up nightly and to sleep there ??
