Life in the Lorry

Posted by: stan

Tagged in: man

We have lived in the lorry now since September, apart from a month in a flat in Germany over Christmas, so this is a bit of a yarn about what its like to ‘downsize’ from a 3 bedroom house to a truck !

Firstly the issue of ‘life’… we wanted a vehicle that would serve as a home on the road in any conditions, hence the choice of a truck. We are 2 adults and one 5 year old (and we set off with a dog, but sadly he’s no longer with us). The transition from the house to the truck took a while, getting used to moving around each other in a small space, and being aware of the need for personal space. If you are in a house and you want to get away there is always another room/shed to hide in, not here ! Unless you tow something for that occasion !
