Hmm more sensible ..I remember that once ! There's one thing for sure a flat won't take you on amazing adventures ! I owned a MH for just over two years and loved it . I spent 4 months solid in it and found it was easy to adapt to , spent 3 weeks wild camping using pub car parks , getting fresh water from garages etc . Only problem I had was being careful inside the van as a lot of things are not as robustly made as they are in a normal home and me being quite cumbersome and clumsy ...well , you get the picture!At the moment my planning is to stay in the UK in winter, I'm crazy enough to actually like winter. And the work I am after has to be paid, that is a reality of life, I'm not retired yet, the way things are going, I don't think I will ever be able to retire.
I do have a date, work here finishes on Dec 19th (although allowed to stay living here until the end of Jan). Wanted to get the van before Christmas to check out the winterised side (it works!) and to sort out all the little things that need sorting out on a second hand, getting there. Am taking it serious as I have bought this as other (more sensible?) people would buy a flat. But the more time I spend in it the happier I am about it. Taking off now every time I have my two days off together.
Take care and enjoy the adventure

You will love every minute of it I'm sure and yes you will be nice and cosy in the winter ...one thing I would say is fit a solar panel and add an extra leisure battery if possible with a 240v invertor , you will be amazed how much power you get
Slightly jealous of you atm but patience is a virtue for me and one day soon I will be free to spread my wings again
Best wishes and here's to your new lifestyle
Keep posting as I will too
