Couple sold home for €155,000 to move into a 1989 caravan and create a sustainable campsite

In 2022, Jon and Emilia James (36 and 37) sold their house for about €155,000 and bought an abandoned campsite in Llanelli, South Wales. After the purchase of the three-hectare site, they had about £500 left. For the first three years, they lived in a 1989 caravan with no fridge, running water, and a camping toilet that had to be emptied manually. During that time, the couple installed solar panels and renovated the property themselves, turning it into self-sufficient tourist accommodation with cabins, renewable energy, and a wood-fired sauna.
