Thinking of trying van life in Europe with a low-risk setup , looking for advice!!!!
Hi everyone,
I'm based in Europe and I'm planning to give van life a try, but I want to keep the financial risk as low as possible in case it turns out it's not for me.
My current idea is to start with a cheap used caravan (something like a LMC Luxus 450T or Knaus 450), which I can find for just under €3,000. I'd then do some basic upgrades and keep everything fairly minimal. The main goal is a functional setup rather than a fully customized build.
For work, I plan to use Starlink mounted on the caravan so I can stay remote and work reliably across different countries in Europe.
Ideally, I want to get everything up and running for around €4,000 total.
I have a 4-day work week, so my thought is to move locations about once a week, which seems manageable.
I've looked into vans and motorhomes as well, but I'm hesitant to invest that much upfront into something I'm not sure I'll fully enjoy.
Would love to hear thoughts from anyone who's tried a similar low-budget or caravan-based setup in Europe. Any advice, pitfalls, or things I might be overlooking?
Thanks in advance!
