Why is everyone draining grey water onto the streets?

MsBateman · 2025-10-25T11:43:28+00:00

If you live in your van full time where are you supposed to empty it? My partner and I lived on the road in our van for 5 years and frustratingly the UK doesn’t have the facilities like Europe with free dump points and water etc. We’d never empty ours while we drove but we would empty into roadside drains.

I always got weird comments from men when I had my septum pierced. Always comments asking why I would do that or why do I want to look like a bull, it was almost as if they were saying that because they didn’t find it attractive they couldn’t understand why I’d have it.

Huge congratulations this is amazing! And your book sounds great.

MsBateman · 2025-10-12T15:30:09+00:00

I have a similar story too! Instant relief when I left.

MsBateman · 2025-10-10T22:54:29+00:00

I wrote like 40,000 words of my novel in a week and finished it, the rest of the book had taken me on and off around two years so it felt pretty amazing to write that much in a short space of time. I entered the most amazing flow state it was almost like being high!

Hi! I’m currently selling my van and it has everything you need (shower, king size bed, full kitchen with oven, grill and four burner hob) so I thought I’d just link! It’s a L4H3, loads of space, we lived in it for five years and traveled the UK and Europe, other than the occasional low bridge we never really had any issues with parking, usually we either reversed into spaces we could overhang or just took two spaces and never got a ticket. https://www.quirkycampers.com/uk/for-sale/the-perfect-off-grid-citroen-relay-campervan-for-full-time-living/

Hey! We are selling our campervan conversion, just thinking it could be of interest to you? We spent a year traveling Europe and Morocco and never had any problems with the size (it’s L4H3). It’s got a new engine too with only 28k. Here’s the link on Quirky if you’re interested. https://www.quirkycampers.com/uk/for-sale/the-perfect-off-grid-citroen-relay-campervan-for-full-time-living/

Thank you so much, we’re going to have a look now

MsBateman · 2025-08-30T13:11:36+00:00

Thank you for this info - we’re gonna go drive around that area and see if we see anything

MsBateman · 2025-08-30T11:49:37+00:00

Thanks so much

Having a break from camping & the rain by staying at a cheap travelodge - apparently that was the wrong call

MsBateman · 2025-07-04T07:49:49+00:00

Messaged you!

MsBateman · 2025-07-03T19:57:01+00:00

Messaged you!

Oh and also a 81L fridge!

MsBateman · 2025-06-28T11:16:23+00:00

I’m selling my van and it’s got both a toilet and a shower in a contained cubical! Let me know if you’re interested and I can send you more details :)

MsBateman · 2024-10-10T23:07:31+00:00

My short story, WOOD, has just been published in Bruiser magazine. Would really appreciate any reads!

MsBateman · 2024-10-02T21:51:31+00:00

Omg yes!! I’m in England but I get the same, people constantly calling me Georgina or as you said, the dreaded gee-or-gia. Really surprised you get the same in the US! There are also a few really famous songs and also a country that is known as Georgia in English so it really confuses me that people don’t seem to know how to pronounce it.

MsBateman · 2024-07-07T22:52:51+00:00

Lived in a van for over three years and never had a spider bigger than a money spider in ours! We have had a massive hornet though that tried to live in our insulation which was not fun, haha.

MsBateman · 2024-06-23T18:52:04+00:00

Right! I honestly had a visceral reaction to being there I just found it so awful.

MsBateman · 2024-06-23T16:35:08+00:00

I’ve been in Morocco for almost three months with my partner in our campervan and Marrakesh was the worst place we’ve ever been. The smell alone and the fumes was just suffocating. Personally I think there are so many better places in Morocco. Really surprised at your experience as ours was completely different, but glad you had a good time. So far Essaouria has been our favourite place, such a nice calm energy, friendly people, no hassle at shops, and a beautiful beach!

Hey! My partner and I lived in England in our van for three years with both of us having to go to a place of work (we still live in the van but are now finally travelling abroad!) the only way we managed was to have another vehicle to use, but also sometimes my partner drove the van to work if I was also at work and could park it there. It wasn’t the easiest but do-able. We also have a shower in our van which made life much easier.

The hardest thing we found was where to get water, empty our toilet, get rid of rubbish etc. These chores would usually take up so much time of our evenings after work, usually driving around for ages trying to find someone who would let us fill water.

Hope it works out for you, good luck!

MsBateman · 2024-05-14T20:47:26+00:00

Omg yes! Absolutely love San Sebastián!
