Can I live in a caravan or camper van for life ?

[WolfLoverPro]

I mean 

 

when you go on holiday on caravans I feel like I could easily live in one of them for life lol

 

i haven’t thinked about everything like 

 

i cant get fibre internet or can u idk or if it’s more expensive lol

 

Plus I use a gaming pc so how much or how I get electric because ones in campsites connect to mains so if it was portable which is what I meaning idk

 

cuz I could gotowork

 

and travel lol or live at work and never be late >;D 

 

but ive heard that’s if police see I parked living in random places like idk 

 

say if i parked and lived in a car parl

 

or what I prefer is parking in woods or nice laybyes at the countryside 

 

then they will make you leave or like it’s illegal

That depends on where you live. In most countries it's illegal to camp on public roads and the authorities would ask you to pack your shit if they saw you.

 

If you plan on moving around then you obviously won't be able to get a land-line internet connection. At least not a permanent one. You will also have problems with getting mains power, since mains connections won't be available most places. So you would be limited to 12v DC power.

 

There's also the problem of having an address. Will list Place will accept sending your shit to a P.O. box, most governments won't be satisfied with that. Most countries do require you to have an actual address or else you will be registered as homeless or officially missing.

 

However, the biggest problem would climate related. Most RVs and campers aren't isolated at all, meaning that it will be extremely cold to live in one during the winter (if it gets cold during the winter where you live, of course).

On topic, yeah, legal issues involving road usage would be a big roadblock.

I can get a tent , go into the forest, and live there for life as well. A cave is good too.

You can live anywhere you feel at home. Some people even choose to be homeless.

What, you mean like a tiny home?

I will at least try to live in a camper in Switzerland once I finished my studies. I have watched a few documentaries about people that did it in Switzerland, Norway... It is certainly possible and I think it fits my lifestyle better. However, you have to use camping grounds in most countries.

Lots of people do this & save lots of money by not owning a house. 

 

1. Poor people sometimes live in trailer parks 

2. Some more or less weird people decided they want to live in a van.

I've already checked my PC load and solar panel requirements... (Though I'll probably swap out for a laptop in all honesty...)

I thought that owning a trailer would be a realistic goal for a millennial as myself. However, someone told me that these trailers have a limited life because the construction is rather flimsy. That also suggests that the resale value for a trailer is rather poor. So maybe people living in trailer parks have money if they have to buy new trailer homes every decade? 

 

Are you just better off building a house in a trailer park.

@kokakolia

People living in trailer parks are thought to have little money as it’s much cheaper to get that than a proper house. I know that many people get them for vacationing & camping of which those people are considered rich. 

I don’t think you’re allowed to build houses in trailer parks as you pay the owner to keep your trailer there.

Try it, let us know how it goes.

It's not impossible, but it's not really worth it. Just get a job and an apartment, it will be much easier and you will be happier. You'll have things like a home address (instead of P.O. box), your own wifi (instead of public wifi), power (not using batteries/solar panels), and your own toilet (besides public restrooms). Sure an apartment will cost more, but your quality of life will be higher.
