Top Tips
Outdoor and mobile living can be an exciting and fulfilling lifestyle choice. Whether travelling in a van conversion, caravan, or campervan, living on the road has never been more adventurous. It can also come with its downsides – with that of the different expenses. There can be a number of ways to reduce the amount of spending you do when living on the road. Here are some money-saving tips to consider when mobile living:
- Purchase a used mobile home: Buying a used mobile home is often more cost-effective than purchasing a new one. Research local listings, mobile home dealers, and online marketplaces to find affordable options that meet your needs.
- Energy efficiency: Invest in energy-efficient upgrades to reduce utility costs. Replace old appliances with energy-efficient models, install LED light bulbs, insulate your mobile home properly, and consider adding weatherstripping to doors and windows to minimize heat loss or gain.
- DIY repairs and maintenance: Learn basic DIY skills to handle minor repairs and maintenance tasks yourself. This can save you money on labour costs and enable you to tackle common issues such as plumbing leaks, electrical problems, and minor structural repairs.
- Second-hand furniture and decor: Furnish your mobile home with second-hand furniture and decor pieces. Look for deals at thrift stores, garage sales, or online platforms. With some creativity, you can find affordable and stylish options that fit your budget.

Repurpose items you already have, use storage bins or baskets to keep things organized, and explore affordable decor options like wall decals, artwork prints, or fabric curtains.
