Category: Full Timing in a Campervan or Self-build
Living in a campervan is an adventure. Fun, exciting, sometimes a bit scarey and occasionally frustrating. But at the end of the day, we always go to bed happy knowing we are living our dream. Full timing!
We have been full timing in a campervan with two dogs and a parrot since 2014. It hasn’t all been plain sailing and we’ve had to swap homes along the way, but we are still enjoying our journey.
In this category, you will find the posts that are specific to living in a camper. Whether it be buying a new van, struggling to get an internet connection or simply just learning to live within the confines of a tiny little home. We’re having the time of our lives and wake-up each morning excited for our next adventure. Therefore, we want to share our lives, the highs and the lows, with the world.
