Do you still need the regular 5 year tests?

That’s the proper way to go about this. Ability to full stand and walk. Permanent kitchen. Full bed. Damn people asking questions. Did ya watch the video??

Totally agree with so much of what you say about the freedom and simplicity of living in a vehical. We’ve lived in a 1977 Bedford school bus in different parts of Australia for the past 4 years. Sometimes we are moving every day, sometimes we spend a few months somewhere, following the sun and jobs. Keep on keeping on, I say, who needs a house when you’ve got a lovely home (on wheels!)

As a mountain biker and campervan owner, appreciating this one.

Oh man you dog looks so much like my old pup that passed away a few years ago. Still miss that dude every day. He was so chilled.

OK, none of this works . A) this guy is not driving legally . Any modified truck must have all modifications declared to the dvla. To register as a camper van, your vehicle must ,by law have at least 3 windows on the sides , plus graphics Indicating the vehicle is a camper van . ( if these conditions are not declared ,YOUR INSURANCE IS INVALID , meaning g an awkward pig could have this truck seized and potentially crushed , plus 12 points on his licence for driving without valid insurance .)) B) " fridge needed for COLD BEERS "??? Anyone drinking in any vehicle cannot consume more than the legal alcohol driving limit or they risk being charged with " ""drunk in charge of a motor vehicle "" Meaning an automatic 12 month driving ban ..... There are ways around these problems ... but this guy is clearly not aware of them .

I like you are stealth with no exterior windows on the sides. I did see on another site a guy put two crank up dome windows for the roof. One was small over the bathroom to release steam and the second was over the kitchen to release cooking smells.

Love the idea. Couple of questions, how/where do you register the van and insure it? Do you need an address? or a P.O. box?

Real Men don't need a lot, love your build and freedom of life. Perfect way to jump out of crazy cycle 9-5 🍻👍👍👍🙏

You need the reflective flaps that hang down when you have the taillift open - look on the back of any lorry with a taillift

What a legend! 🤩

The issue with these kinds of conversations is you never see anyone over 50 living in these. eventually, you need to move into a house. I'd love to see some older people who are still living like this. The same can be said with people with disabilities, you rarely se any van life folk with disabilities. I think that would be a super interesting thing to see a channel look into.
