"For the past four months, I've been working from 1985 Talbot Express motorhome, parked outside of my house. Just before lockdown hit, I decided to buy the van for £1,000 to create an office space. My wife and I have two small children, so we needed an alternative place from which to work. These days, I start work earlier and finish earlier, which suits my natural way of working anyway."
"I was working more remotely anyway and I'm up to speed with all the platforms we now use every day, so personally I have adapted to the working from home life pretty easily. As I mentioned, I have a two-year-old and five-year-old at home, so one big thing that has changed about my days is that I'm now able watch a little more Peppa Pig in the mornings."
He bought a 1985 Talbot Express motorhome for £1,000 and has worked from it outside his house for four months as an alternative office. The campervan provides a separate workspace for him and his wife while they care for two young children and allows occasional home-schooling. He now starts and finishes work earlier, walks ten steps to the van, and returns indoors for comfort breaks or to visit a nearby café. Home WiFi reaches the van so connectivity is fine, though the retro vehicle can get very hot in sun and damp in rain. Local walks and nearby clients provide inspiration and social contact.
