The housing crisis in Spain is driving more people to live in campers. A couple from Valencia, bloggers Jako and Khoana, bought a van for 1900 euros and converted it into a home. They calculated that three months of rent (650 euros per month, totaling 1950 euros) exceeded the van's price. However, the conversion cost more than the van itself. According to them, a full transition to vanlife requires an initial investment of 15,000 to 80,000 euros, with monthly expenses of 600–1200 euros.
Meanwhile, Juanma López, who lives in a camper, debunks the stereotype of cheap living. His monthly expenses exceed 1000 euros: 400 euros on fuel, 350 euros on food, 150 euros on restaurants, and 90 euros on Starlink satellite internet. Electricity and water are free thanks to campsites and gas stations. Potential fines for illegal parking must also be considered.
