Buying an off grid camper?

[Yorkshire_LY]

I have a big decision to make next year - iam getting 'bought out' of my house and i have to decide whether to buy my own house or get a fully converted camper to live in for a couple of years,and tour the UK!

Has anyone done this? (My budget maybe £20K-30K)

Which sites are best to look for them? (ive seen the Quirky Campers one)

I need to think about living day to day like this....how much on average is it to stop on a camp site for a night?

On Caravan and Motorhome Club sites I'd say we pay on average around £30/night for a serviced pitch with electric hookup and site showers. It varies by site and time of year, sometimes a little less, sometimes quite a lot more. I've also parked in a field with no services other than loos for £10 a night, which was blimin' ridiculous!

As above, £30+ tends to be going rate, and far to many 'eco' or 'cosy' sites with a portaloo and old sink in a field....

The cost of fuelling and maintaining an older big vehicle can get expensive also.

That said, if I had the opportunity...

Check out the SearchForSites map as that will show pretty much every campsite, plus other options like pub stops and public overnight parking (free and paid).

Some sites seem to make the mickey on prices without facilities to match, but maybe they get loads of bookings so who can blame them?
