Ben had always dreamed of living in a caravan as a child after growing up on a council estate
A man ditched his "depressing" concrete house to live in his "dream" caravan and spends just £90-a-week on rent.
He bought a touring caravan for just £1,000 and moved it onto a residential site - surrounded by nature. Ben upgraded it a year ago to a newer £5,000 caravan and fitted it with an awning to create a separate living area.He spends just £90-a-week on rent, council tax and water. In the summer Ben spends £20-a-month on electric, and a £100 in winter and £60 on diesel for heating.
"I've got 360 degrees of nature around me. It's my own space. You can live like this and be a normal person.""I wanted to go with the Gypsies in their caravan." Under the awning he has a living and dining room but likes to spend most of his time in the "cosy" caravan. Ben created a desk space in the kitchen but has left the rest of it reasonably untouched."It's not for everybody. You have to empty your own toilet."
