I'm seriously considering it. I will be working still. The money I can save will be huge if I can keep it up for a couple of years

It's actual becoming more and more common. If you live in a major city just look around and you'll see quite a few small RVs and campers. Some cities are even cracking down on overnight RV parking on public streets for this very reason.  

It's doable tho if you have no place to live and/or want to save money. Get your 24 HR fitness pass, mcdonalds wifi and you're good to go.

Luckily I own my house and am married at quite a young age, but I've always considered that if single I'd live in an RV and save a quick 20k for a deposit on a place. Your outgoings (even including compounds) would be about £150 a week. On a wage of even as low as 20k a year you could save up in 2 years

exactly my thinking. Tough it out for a couple of years and then be set.

Don't fuck about and do it then son. The other choice is to pay someone else's mortgage for the next two years, and then you're still in exactly  the same position. Do what you gotta do, plus the freedom of driving where you like each night is gotta be a bonus

Oh man, living like Kimbo Slice!

Will you have a reliable place to Shower? Reliable Men's room @ night?

You wont be cooking so you will be living off of Whey protein, cheese, and milk for protein

stay warm!

Have also given this some thought and if ever single again is the route id go.
Portable camping toilet so dont have to shit in bucket.
Split charge relay with a few extra heavy duty batterys to power telly ect.

No taxis home after nights out. No rent. No council tax. Sea views or country life dependant on what you feel like that day.
Great life
