We didn’t want to buy an expensive house so bought a van instead – we’ve been living in her for a month & don’t pay rent
BUYING a house or even renting is expensive these days and so many people are looking for more affordable alternatives.
One woman revealed how she and her partner had bought a cheap van instead, and made it into a cosy home on the road.
TikTok user @sydneythevan uploaded a video giving followers a sneak peek inside their tiny home.
They wrote: “Welcome to our home on wheels!
“Her name is Sydney and we built it with no experience in 4 months.
“It was short but intense, probably the most stressful months of our lives, but oh so worth it!
“We’ve been living in it for a month and we love her so much!”
The tour started through the sliding side door and showed a mini kitchen area decorated with stylish green tiles.
The woman showed how they have two hobs for cooking or boiling water and a sink for washing up.
There is also plenty of storage under the sink for cooking equipment and food.
They also have a fridge and freezer for food, and a shower area which doubles up as a tiny toilet room too.
The back of the van has a cosy double bed, and you can pull out a table from underneath it for dining or working.
There’s also plenty of storage with drawers and cupboards built into the walls.
The TikToker said they plan to tour around doing surfing and added: “We have only lived in it for a month, so far, we love everything about it!”
She added that the project has so far cost 35,000 euros (£30,000) which included the van price.
Many people were jealous of her set-up, with one saying: “Best layout I’ve seen so far! Kitchen is far away from the bed and you’ve got a toilet.”
Another added: “The dream.”
