Laura converted a 40-year-old camper, purchased for €6,000, into a roughly 14 m² living space. After discovering rot in the wooden structures, she completely stripped the interior and did almost all the work herself. She estimates conversion and subsequent repair costs at €12,000–15,000. When stationary for long periods, insurance, breakdown cover and road tax cost €250–300 per month; when driving extensively, fuel can push this to around €700. Laura has been travelling for about 18 months, favouring Portugal and southern Spain.
