About Living Mobile, Vanlife UK
Who we are, what we do, and why we built this resource for UK van dwellers.
Our Mission
Living Mobile is a free Vanlife UK resource built specifically for people living in or travelling by van in the United Kingdom. We exist because most vanlife content online is written for the US, Australia, or continental Europe, and the UK has its own laws, roads, weather, and culture that make those guides only partially useful.
Our goal is simple: give UK van dwellers accurate, practical, no-nonsense information so they can spend less time researching and more time on the road.
What We Cover
- Legal and Parking covers UK-specific law on overnight parking, regional rules, and your rights.
- Service Map shows water points, waste disposal, showers, LPG, and EV charging across the UK.
- Beginner Guides covers everything for newcomers from choosing a van to your first night parked up.
- Destinations covers van-friendly UK destinations with practical road and parking information.
- Daily Living covers remote work, health, cooking, and managing life on the road.
- Calculators includes solar, electrical, insulation, fuel, payload, water, LPG, condensation, and ventilation tools.
- Planners includes build budget, build timeline, and van floor plan layout tools.
Editorial Standards
- All guides are written for the United Kingdom. Laws, roads, and costs are UK-specific.
- Legal and regulatory content is researched from primary sources and updated when rules change.
- Any advertising or promotional content is clearly labelled and distinct from our guides.
- Information is practical guidance, not legal, medical, or financial advice. Verify locally before acting.
Our Principles
- We are UK-specific and do not republish generic international content and pass it off as UK advice.
- Accuracy comes first: legal information is researched and updated when legislation changes.
- Living Mobile will always be free to use. We cover our costs through advertising.
- We are privacy-conscious and minimise data collection.
