Welcome! Can't really help on the full timing but it can certainly be done although it helps if you have an address, which could be a relation or good friend, for sending official correspondence. Be aware full time insurance can be very expensive.

HI Tracey .. and welcome to the forum..

.. plenty of fulltimers on here to advise.. we did it for three years..

My first question, why are you sick of your life ?

It may sound attractive to pack up and go off and live in a van.. to escape .. but life goes on, work, bills, etc. and problems you have now may just follow you.

Fulltime is not an easy life .. it is an alternative life with a whole set of different problems to overcome.. so think about why you feel the way you do and how to resolve any issues before jumping ship.

Welcome to the fun. Fulltiming is different things to different people. With decent batteries and sufficient solar you can manage without leccy. Washing using a tub and posser also possible which brings us to your hobby. Well I have in my loft an original 1950's Hobbies treadle fretsaw that would enable you to continue your scrollsaw hobby without power. Open to reasonable offers. You could of course use a mixture of wilding and sites depends where you have to be for work really.

Travelling can certainly broaden your horizons.
We wish you lots of luck with your ambitions.
There are several full timers on here who are a mine of information. You have come to the right place.
We would love to travel more but are still firmly in the rat race and have a while yet before we have sufficient financial independence.

Good luck!

Hi Tracey, it's always nice when you give feedback. The forum is a great place for asking questions and putting things into perspective. When you are buying your van that's when you need to really ask questions saves a lot of stress getting what suits your needs. If it's off eBay check here to make sure it's genuine, so many scams, but also some good deals.
