'I can't see us ever going back to life in a house'

Couple who live in an Anglesey caravan, work two days a week and spend just £330 a month explain why it works for them... but wouldn't suit everyone

A COUPLE have shared how they manage to work just two days a week by spending a mere £330-a-month living in a caravan.

Rachel Hale, 39 and her husband Lewis, 35, have been full-time residents of a campsite in Anglesey since March 2024, after deciding they "didn't want all our money going on bills".

In April 2023, the pair sold their three-bedroom home in Lancaster, Lancashire for £130,000 and bought a £30,000 campervan to travel around the UK for a year.

As their savings started to run low, they found jobs at the site through a Facebook group and have since upgraded to a £15,000 caravan.

With no rent or bills to pay as their pitch on the site is included in Lewis' job as a campsite warden, they save a full wage every month and estimate they will have saved £8,000 this year by October.

Rachel, a cook, said: "We got a campervan in March 2022.

"We were going away every weekend when we could and I just didn't want to come home.

"We had some savings and decided to sell up and do a year travelling around the UK.

"Last year we got our jobs as wardens.

"Literally anyone could do it, you can pick up a caravan for £1,000 and pick up a job.

"We've got the caravan and a massive field to ourselves.

"The job is March to October so you get four months off. We will probably have saved about £8,000 for this year.

"We're only half an hour away from Snowdonia so we tend to go there a lot.
