The Pikey Life

[Lucy Anderson]

I realise this thread is really old, but I was just wondering how caravan life was working out for you? I have been considering doing the same.

I'll be doing it soon, static behind an industrial unit, for which I will have keys, inside is a 2 poster...

free wifi leccy and water, all I will need is gas, not seen the static as it hasnt arrived yet, but will look into eccy heaters or log burners, so i dont have to burn loads of gas

with an electric heater make sure you get an oil filled electric rad. The cheap argos and the like filament ones will cost more than gas fired... not that youre paying for electrcity anyway but definitely good advice!

Also when it comes to electric heaters check the wattage. Some can be 2kw so with 4-5 on in a static you've hit 10kw. This will draw over 40amps and most probably trip the fuse. Look for low wattage ones normally around 500w.

Don't put the kettle on if you have a few heaters on, experience tells me that blows the trip too.

I bottled on this and rented somewhere paying around £650 all bills in.. Still have a caravan and might get something sorted for over summer but glad I gave it a miss over the cold winter period..

I kinda miss living in a caravan, was pretty awesome! Only draw back was how cold it was in winter.
