I gave up everything to live in motorhome & now I don’t pay bills – here’s what I miss the most about my house
A WOMAN has revealed how she decided to give up everything and live in a motorhome- where she pays no bills.
Siobhan Daniels, 63, admits there are a few things she misses while living in a home on wheels but says she has not regretted her decision and is happier than ever.
The retired BBC South East reporter from Tunbridge Wells made the switch to the alternative lifestyle three years ago when she felt “anxious, weepy, angry with the world.”
She bought the two-berth Auto-Trail Tribute motorhome- named Dora the Explorer for £40,000 and has travelled across the country ever since.
And she has managed to avoid paying bills together by volunteering at a farm in Dorset in exchange for free electricity.
Her new home includes a full-sized shower, fridge freezer, and hob.

She said: “I was pretending a life, just to get through.
“You couldn’t have a difficult conversation and say ‘I’m struggling’.
“I was absolutely done. Burnt out. I don’t want any woman to feel what I was made to feel.”
