I'm from the states. I have been wanting to do something like this. But finding the right van for what I want is the big deal. Right now I am talking to a guy with a 1996 Kenworth with a 26 feet box van. I know it is big but if all goes well it should be a place you can live out of. And the diesel it will run on old cooking oil and I can rebuild the motor with no problems. If I can get this van I will post picks and if not the search will go on. What I want is something like the tiny houses people are building here but as a self contained unit. If anyone is interested look up tumbleweedhouses.com. And being retired with money coming in each month would be a great way to live.
