I couldn't afford today's crazy house prices so spent my deposit on a van instead – now I only pay £30 a month on bills
A YOUNG woman who couldn't buy a house despite saving for a mortgage decided to use it to buy a van instead. Lily Morris now lives in the van full-time and has said she 'would never go back'. 3 3 The 26-year-old went on a two-and-a-half-week road trip in a van around Scotland in the summer of 2024 and fell in love with van life. When she returned to the home she shares with her parents on the Isle of Wight, she said it was "weird" being bound to one place. She bought a £7,500 1991 Ford Transit Auto Sleeper in May 2024 from a local selling website and moved into it full time in March 2025. Her total bills amount to £30 a month for gas, she gets her electricity through solar panels and her water through a water tank. Due to her low bills, she only has to work two or three days a week - and during that time she parks in a layby or stays in a campsite for a few days to sit back and relax. But for the rest of the week - and during her eight weeks of annual leave - she travels all over the UK, parking up in laybys, campsites and car parks across places like the New Forest, North Wales and Scotland. Lily, a children's carer from the Isle of Wight, said: "I couldn't afford a home and I wanted to go out and do things now while in my 20s. "After my first trip in a van, I loved it so much that I thought I'd try it out. I waited until winter to try it, because I didn't want to have any issues on my first trip. "I wanted to build my confidence and ensure everything was working before I entered my first winter. "I wanted to do something in my 20s, and I'm having the best time. Things have gotten so expensive that this is a cheaper way to live. Britain's best-selling car brand unveils EV camper van perfect for living off-grid with lounge seats & rooftop tent "I have moved out of my parents' house, and I'm still sorting through my things from my room. It's so clutter-free and a simple way of life." She kept start-up costs low by decorating the inside herself. The van costs £90 to fill up with petrol, and on a recent ten-day trip to north Wales, she spent £350 on fuel. Lily said: "I just gave my parents £200 a month on bills, but it costs around the same when you factor in filling up the van, food shops, and the gas bills. "Saving money is good, but it is not my main priority at the moment. "I've put in a solar panel myself, and I've put in a new water tank, which was really difficult. "I now have a compressor fridge that runs off the solar panel. I've painted it all, spray-painted the bathroom, taken the carpet out, and put tiles down." Lily pays for a campsite every two weeks to empty her waste and stays in places where you can park for free. Lily said: "I don't think I would go back to living in a house now. I like being able to get up and go anywhere I like. "People always ask me about my five-year plan, and I don't have one, I just like to live in the moment."

Welsh Government issues new order to deal with problem plaguing Eryri beauty spot
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Welsh Government has taken action over a problem caused by visitors to an Eryri beauty spot. Llyn Ogwen is one of the honeypot sites of North Wales - a key starting point for some of the finest walks and scrambles in Eryri National Park. But this creates problems in the area due to the sheer number of visitors arriving by car and the limited parking options due to the topography of the area. This has seen people parking at the roadside - often on both sides of the A5 near the lake - causing issues for passing traffic and pedestrians. Two years ago a road order was introduced. The Prohibition of Waiting Order banned parking on the roadside - with yellow lines added on both sides of the road around parts of the A5 at Llyn Ogwen. Sign up for the North Wales Live newsletter sent twice daily to your inbox There have also been major efforts to get more people utilising park and ride services using the Sherpa buses. But the problem has continued and the parking ban is now set to be extended to a wider area as the government says 'dangerous and inconsiderate parking has become an increasing concern'. A new order is being introduced after consultation with North Wales Police. This will see the parking ban extended further along the A5 in the direction of Capel Curig. The Government said: "The proposed Order is required to prevent indiscriminate parking on a length of the A5 trunk road at Llyn Ogwen, Conwy County Borough. "The main purpose of the Order is to modify the extents of the current parking restrictions at this location. "Dangerous and inconsiderate parking has become an increasing concern at this location. It is obstructing the movement of vehicles along the trunk road and is also forcing pedestrians onto the live carriageway in certain places. "Making this Order will further address these issues and provide a safer route for vehicles and pedestrians. The current parking restrictions are imposed by virtue of the A5 Trunk Road (Llyn Ogwen, Conwy County Borough) (Prohibition of Waiting) Order 2023 (S.I.2023/337 (W. 48)). "That Order will be revoked by the proposed Order." The order will give parking enforcement teams extra powers. A double yellow line parking fine is usually £70. There is leeway for dropping people off or unloading and loading goods. Join the North Wales Live WhatsApp community group where you can get the latest stories delivered straight to your phone
