Knut Roar Holmvik, 59, from Steinkjer, decided to live permanently in a motorhome at a campsite after selling his house. He stated that maintaining a house involves many expenses and preferred the freedom of mobility. During winter with outdoor temperatures as low as -21°C, the indoor temperature in the motorhome ranged from 12 to 15°C, which Holmvik found acceptable. He plans to stay at the campsite as long as possible and has no intention of returning to house living.
