Please Consider Participation In My Questionnaire For Full / Semi-full Timers, Which Is Part Of My Masters Degree Research / Dissertation.

[CamperJack]

My name is Jack. I have lived in my off grid, self converted, Peugeot Boxer van for some time while studying, having previously using my van for holidays. My experience of living in my van, meeting others doing the same, and my experiences on van life websites inspired me to conduct research into how and why people live Van Life for part of my Masters Degree in Environmental Health.

If you live full time or semi full time I would love for you to tell me about your experiences by filling out this short questionnaire, which will take around 15 minutes. It will ask questions about your van, where you stay, and where you lived before vanlife.

Participation is totally voluntary and you can withdraw yourself and have your data destroyed by editing the form to remove consent. For further assistance email me on the address provided, before 6th July 2022. Participation is also anonymous. I will not know who has given me the answers. All of this is explained on a Participant Information Sheet provided before the questionnaire.

If you have further questions, please contact me via email at j.hunt2572@student.leedsbeckett.ac.uk.

The questionnaire can be found following this link: https://forms.gle/RFWy2ZTHGrPEzM1w9

Thanks!

Jack.

Hi Jack. I’ve just completed your questionnaire. A couple of points:

1. There is no option for having fulltimed more than 8 years. Maybe an ‘8 years +‘ category could be included.

2. You can only select one option for disposal of grey waste, whereas you can select multiple options for the other disposal categories.

I have filled it in to the best of my ability tho’.

Thanks. I'll see if I can change that.

I'll add an "other" for years full timing and change the format of the grey waste.

Trouble is you can't fill it out yourself to test it. So very grateful for feedback!

 

[CamperJack]

Done.

Good luck with your dissertation and I'd love to read it at a later date.

I'll see if I can distribute it to anyone who asks for it.

Hi Jack not a full timer at all..

But seeing your in Leeds where do you hang out?

I've seen a few vans around Baildon moor. Might be worth door stepping them?

Few spots out towards Garrforth, Selby, Pool. Baildon looks good, but never stayed there.

Done! You could do with more than one option for grey waste, & maybe somewhere that indicates whether I am still living in the van? Good luck! I’d be really interested in your outcomes/dissertation if you have time when you’ve done?

Had an attempt to start but you wanted my email address.

Not willing to do this...

I have enough trouble with all the younger, attractive women wanting use of my body for their vicarious reasons already. I can't risk attracting any more...

Unfortunately collecting email addresses is a requirement so you can withdraw from the study if you wish and this a demand of my universities ethics committee.

But if you don't want to participate that's fine too.

Thanks for looking.

Thanks. I think I've just changed it to tick boxes.

Just had a look as we lived in the van when in between house sales/purchase.
Just noticed that you only have 2 leisure battery options. I have gel batteries, so neither lead acid or lithium
Shall I say that I don’t know?

You could just set up a free email address just for this and never use it again.

Gel are a sort of lead/acid as are AGM

I've got a copy of "quality research papers" probably out of date and teaching you to suck eggs but free!!!

 

[Niall B]

Completed. Glad I’m not the only one working on a masters dissertation in a van.

 

[CamperJack]

Completed. Glad I’m not the only one working on a masters dissertation in a van.

Unfortunately I'm back in brick because my girlfriend decided to move up here with me, and van living was no longer practical with us each having a job, me studying and the dog.

I miss it very much!

 

[CamperJack]

Are they relevent to the topic and how "out of date"?

It's a struggle to find academic research papers on the subject.

 

[CamperJack]

16 responses so far. The aim was 50, so quite a way to go. Might have to run it for longer and push it harder on Facebook!

Would love to hear from anyone else!
