Morning all
Im in search of as much advice and reassurance as I can get .
Im a 37 year old single male, I work full time on afters and get every friday and saturday off, my current situation is not ideal at the minute as Im stopping with relatives after a brake up from my partener, so my choices are.... get a mortgage or do something different, if I get a mortgage my outgoings will be a minimum of £1000 a month, which doesn't leave me that much to live on for the rest of the month as I get paid monthly, I have 35 grand cash which I could use as a deposit for a house OR!! , do I buy a motorhome to live in???, I've done some research and am now looking for advice and reassurance about doing it, I live in Mansfield Nottinghamshire at the Minute and travel everyday to worksop, just past clumber park which cost me 30 quid a week in diesel so I thought if I were to live closer to work I could cut that cost, my biggest concern is the cost of places to stay, clumber park is £107 a week and thats not high season, I know I can wild camp but at the minute as a newbie I think Id want that peace of mind about security for a little while until I get into the swing of things, from clumber I could cycle to work. If I were to do it I would also need to get a licence to drive one. I would be looking to get a large (ish) Mh as I would still want to use it for travelling with the family so Im looking for 4 birth+, I love the swift kon-tiki with the lounge at the end, I'm not keen on the fixed bed at the end, anyway I'll leave it there for now, hopefully you can give me a great long list of all the in and outs of full time motorhome living and all the pros and cons of doing so too. Thanks in advance for you help.
