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

A COUPLE 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 and have since switched to a £15,000 caravan.

With no rent or bills to pay, as their pitch is included with Lewis’ job, 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.
