Living in a motorhome

[tinag123]

I have been falsed to sell my home and cannot really afford to rent privately. I am considering buying a motorhome (not a caravan) parking on various streets and car parks etc and living in it for the near future. Obviously I will be considerate to neighbours with regards to noise and rubbish etc. Does anyone know if I am technically breaking any laws

You'll be breaking bye laws if you park on the public highway, and be trespassing if you park on car parks.

You will have to sit inside your van with the curtains closed in case people see you, think about how you are going to get rid of your waste, including toilet waste, where you will get water from and how you are going to generate enough electricity to power your electricals. A tv aerial on the roof will be a dead give away.
You will also have to consider your cooking smells.

How will you deal with your post? Have you got an address to give to the insurance company, DVLA, GP and so on?

It's a shame that you have been forced to sell your home and wanting to live in a motor home would put you at risk of prosecution, yet travelers do it all the time
Is there not a camping site nearby? Address, gas and other forms of power sorted, although you may find this more expensive than renting a small flat
Is it just you or more family? No idea where you live but if it is just you, you can rent a studio flat for under �400pcm in some areas. Dont be so hasty to poo poo renting
