What was the process like to move into your mobile home?

In the past, we have done our fair share of roughing it. We have camped on countless deflating blow-up mattresses and washed under just about any faucet we could find.

As our weekend trips progressed into weeklong adventures, we eventually took the plunge and bought our first van in 2007. It was only a scruffy ex-work van that we converted ourselves into a camper. It was really basic, but we loved it!

Two years ago we decided to look for a larger van to have the luxury of standing up while cooking. What we didn’t realize was that owning a campervan was the start of a whole new way of life and an entirely different way of thinking. It really is like a mini home—it doesn't feel like we are camping at all! We can now stand up and cook; we have a boiler with heating and hot running water, a shower and a toilet (no more peeing outside, hurray!).
