I live full-time in a lorry & have all the comforts of a home, from king size bed & 43-inch TV – it’s cheaper than rent

BUYING a house can be expensive these days, so many people are looking to think outside the box.

Adventurous Tilly shared how she lives full-time in a lorry and insists it has all the comforts you’d expect of a house.

On her @tillyrvadventure account, she shared: “What is it actually like living in a 7.5t lorry?

“For me it’s the perfect lifestyle and it is the most at home I have ever felt.

“I have all the creature comforts I would in a house.”;

Tilly shared how, contrary to what people may perceive, she has heating and hot water.

Her lorry is also decked out with a kingsize bed, dining area, a 43in TV and Wi-Fi.

Not only that, but she also has a fridge in the kitchen, a shower and bunkbeds.

To make it even more like a luxury home, she also has underfloor heating and lighting that is controlled by Alexa.

Tilly revealed how her biggest expense is her fuel, which can cost £1.42 per litre, and she often tops up by 96 litres.

While it may be “expensive”;, she said it is “drastically lower”; than her previous rent or mortgage.

She added: “Don’t get me wrong, it’s not all smooth sailing and things do break, but I factor this into my cost of living.”;

Tilly insisted that the benefits outweigh any negatives of living in a lorry and she loves to wake up to incredible views from her window.

She also loves how she can go on “regular adventures”; in the comfort of her “own home.”;

In order to fund her lorry lifestyle, she works as a firefighter and does four days on and four days off.

Many people were impressed with her lifestyle, with one saying: “Living the dream and as free as you possibly can be! winning in life mate.

“Thanks for sharing your home and haven, it's mint.”;

If you are looking to have your own lorry home, the cheapest way is to buy a base truck for between £5,000 to £30,000, and then convert it yourself.

However, this can cost between £10,000 and £50,000, depending on what you can do yourself.

Alternatively, you can buy a converted lorry for upwards of £50,000 to £100,000, which can be more expensive.

Your lorry must be “road legal”; and be converted to meet DVLA “motor caravan” standards, including having seats, a sleeping area, a kitchen, and storage to qualify.
