Freya Gill and Charlie Thackwray, both 29, moved into a caravan owned by Charlie's mother to avoid high rents. They later relocated it to a plot in North Allerton, where they lived for over a year and saved around £20,000 (€23,281). Renting in their area would have cost £750 per month. They bought an upgraded caravan for £16,000 (€18,625) with adjustable heating, a water pump and heated towel rails in the shower. According to them, living in the caravan is £500 cheaper than renting, and they do not pay for gas, water or council tax. They do not plan to move until they save enough to buy their own plot of land.
