You’ve turned a negative into a positive 💫
As a boater I recommend you consider the boating route because in a caravan you are vulnerable to weird site rules like only being allowed to stay in your caravan 11 months a year, not to mention they can one day decide your caravan is too old and you’ll need to buy a new one, plus increasing site fees.
Yes would have been great if we could have afford one always liked the idea of boat life
Thank you
@@CaravanLifeUK little tip, you can pick up a decent broads cruiser which is a fibreglass hull, not steel, for a lot less than a narrowboat, and a fraction of the maintenance costs. Good luck with your caravan life, wishing you all the best with your new chapter in life :)
@@peanutboxes4076 boat life is what I am considering for the very reasons you mention. Any contacts, pages or websites you can suggest would be most appreciated.
@@CaravanLifeUK I'm a boater and my husband and I are planning on doing what you're doing instead 😁
Boat life is different for everyone but after 9 years of being a continuous cruiser, it's time for a change. Thank you for your smashing channel!
Great video, new subscriber here. We're returning to the UK and we're looking into living in a static caravan as we really like them and found after months of research that you can't live in one permanently, please can you help us here🙏 Love your caravan also your veg garden is awesome well done 😊👏👏👏
I think you are both so strong. I don't know how I would have coped in your situation. Well done for achieving what you've done. I sincerely hope it all works out for you both.
Thank you Mags
Amazing turnaround Ivan. Wise decision on the pension. A roof over your heads and growing food two of the most important things. I'm glad your new home gives you and Ginny both those things. 😊
Thank you Irene much appreciated
Sir, I draw so much strength from your story, and how you turned the trauma of losing your home (something I have been through before) into a really cool youtube channel. Thank you.
I lived in static caravan for 12 years, loved it.
Great stuff Thank you Pat
Ivan Wishing you and Ginny, all the very best in your new home, you both deserve to be happy there. Look forward to the new recipes. Thanks for sharing.
Lovely of you Thank you so much Sheila
We love our Caravan life. It's so peaceful. Your new home is looking great! Wishing you both all the best Ivan 🙂
Thanks so much! 😊
Your van is massive. Garden is gorgeous. I would live in a static caravan. ❤
Thank you Jayne
Static caravans are very spacious and beautiful.
Thank you Leeanne
I love your guy's garden. We're thinking of retiring to a caravan when we finally become empty nesters. There simply aren't enough properties out there anyway full stop. The only thing worrying me on it is winter storms. I'm with you though I'd rather OWN a caravan than rent a castle. And caravans are quite comfortable really, so long as you have good neighbors and you seem to have great ones!
I completely agree Thank you Charlotte
My parents had a living caravan years ago when the residential ones were not so well built as today, they had no problems with storms although they lived in an open area near the top of a hill.
My friend moved into a van 5 years ago - best thing she has ever done . Hope you are very happy. Air fryers are brilliant 🤩
We love it Thank you Susan
How positive you are. I admire that, well done.
I appreciate that!
Thank you
Thanks Ivan, you've done well mate and I can't wait to see what you'll be cooking in your lovely new kitchen. Take care and all the best. Stevie
Thank you Stevie much appreciated
Good on you godbless all
Thank you! You too!
Thanks for everything Ivan. Looking forward to the "new" contents. Best of luck to both you and Ginny!😁😀👋👌🤞
Thank you Gail much appreciated
Great update best of luck
Thank you Ann
You might want to get an Instant Pot. I have 2 sizes (mainly use the smallest one for the 2 of us) and it uses very little power on my boat. I'm frugal with electricity, relying on solar power. I use mine to bake(steam) cakes, cheesecakes, cook curry, stews, rice etc etc. There are so many things you can do with it, it's fabulous! 😁 Dozens of channels on CZcams for instant pot recipes too.
Good idea Thank you
Glad I have found your page here. I am facing homelessness and am considering two options, static caravan or canal boat. Have a subscribe and like.
Thank you Adam and best of luck
Ivan a homes a home , there's nothing wrong with alternative living , I'd rather live in one or a motor home or a barge 🙌
Thank you Roy
Hopefully everything goes smoothly for yourself and Ginny. We know what it’s like to be renting and have a notification of 8 weeks to leave. Not because we hadn’t paid our rent or owed money to anyone , they just decided to sell up even when we were promised it was going to be a long term rental which only turned out to be only 18 months . Luckily a lovely farming family offered us a rental cottage , the rent is reasonable but it’s a cold cottage with no gas and only electric and the council tax is eye watering because it’s in Yorkshire and in an area of ONB but we’ve been promised we can rent for as long as we like here and thanks to your lovely channel you’ve inspired me to start growing my own vegetables. ❤
Happy that you got somewhere and you are already making the best of it by growing your own
Brilliant
Thank you Sara
What a fabulous job you have done on the outside.
Thank you Jane
Look forward to the future vids, stay safe, Jack
Thank you Jack much appreciated
Omg Ivan i am so sorry to hear that you have been evicted from your home, that must have been horific. I absolutely love caravans... i used to holiday 4 times a year in my grandparents caravan when i was younger and i loved it more than the few times we went abroad to be honest. Your caravan looks lovely and that container garden is fab!! Xx
Thank you Steph much appreciated memories are so comforting
@@CaravanLifeUK I loved going to the caravan, it was in Tenby 😀 xx
Smart move. I'm glad it's working out for you.
Thank you
i respect you so much i thinking of doing what you doing, when i retire just want to call a home my home, i fed up of landlords saying i got 2 months to get out, but saying that i got a landlord i been with now 6 years but there might be a time he may want me out so this is my next option
Hope you find what you are looking for
Thank you
I am a new subscriber, and I am enjoying the channel very much.
Thank you Joanna much appreciated

Brilliant Ivan, I’m really interested in air fryer and slow cooker cooking too as well as your container gardening channel. I take my hat off to you both, you are an inspiration to many people . Best wishes from Sussex
So kind of you Thank you Anne
Glad you have settled in to your new home. You've done a great job 😊

Great video thanks, I’ve always been interested in caravan life. Can I ask do you pay council tax separately?
Only been here a couple of weeks and awaiting the contract so will update soon Thank you
😀
Thank you Dexter
Would you be able to share costs like site fees and whatsbis included say water, council tax etc. Are there any restrictions such as limit on age of caravan, only in site for 10 months. Thanks
Hi Paula i will answer all those questions on the next video Thank you
This is a really good option.
But can you stay on site all year round? As some you need to leave for a few weeks
Just waiting on the contracts will update soon Thank you Mandy
THIS IS WHAT ME AND MY MRS WANT ANT ADVISE
Will go over more details in the next videos Thank you
So are you on a caravan park? If so how do you provide council tax and other bills for proof of living elsewhere?
Will cover that in another video
Thank you
Where do you go during month site has to be empty.not allowed to use it 12 months of the year
Will update that soon Thank you
You make this sound so easy and idyllic. Wgat you need to be telling us is that you cant just go and buy a caravan and hope to find a residential site waiting to greet you. Invariably, you have to buy the static from a site that have a plot vacant. If its a used static,you'll be looking at 60k minimum for a decent site. If it a new static, wave goodbye to £150k minimum. Then you have to upgrade your static periodically under the terms of residency. These days, living in a static can be bricks and mortor money.
We did what we had to do in our situation and we will see where it leads Thank you
Is the plot secure my worry was if the owner went bust would you then be kicked off the site or what would happen please
Guess i will find out in time
Are you allowed to stay there for 365 days in a year?
Only been here a couple of weeks and awaiting the contract so will update soon Thank you
Of course you can be kicked out you dont own the land it sits on. The site owner can after 10 years can insist you buy a new caravan or remove your old one. The site ownership can change and they may want you off it is one of the most unsecured ways of housing.
All sites do vary and some do not have any restrictions it is a shame if the van is in good condition but that is the rules of certain sites
You seriously put on the internet you live in a caravan.
Thank you
