Ben says life in a concrete box was depressing and he would never go back
A man ditched his "depressing" concrete house to live in his "dream" caravan and spends just £90-a-week on rent. Ben John, 38, had always dreamed of living in a caravan as a child after growing up on a council estate in Leeds.
In the summer Ben spends £20-a-month on electric, and a £100 in winter and £60 on diesel for heating. But Ben says he "chooses" caravan life because he loves it - not because it is significantly cheaper. Ben found living in Leeds and Bournemouth "overwhelming" and decided to buy a caravan in September 2018 for just £1,000. He has since upgraded to a £5,000 one with an attached awning costing £3,000 - to create a separate living space. Under the awning he has a living and dining room but likes to spend most of his time in the "cosy" caravan.
