I converted an old transit van into a tiny home & now explore England – it only costs £500, I plan on doing it forever
A SAVVY man has been flooded with praise after revealing how he transformed an old van into a super stylish tiny home – and now lives his best life travelling solo around the UK.
Tom, who regularly shares posts on social media detailing what it’s really like to spend a day living in a van and travelling around the UK, explained how he bought a Ford transit van and converted it into a teeny home.
In a clip shared to TikTok (@tomandfordythevan), the 22-year-old notes: “Your sign to convert a van and explore the Southwest of England.”
The self-converted van, which was once nothing but an empty shell, features all of the essentials – including a cosy bed, pullout stove and kettle and drawers for storage.
And it’s little surprise people are jealous of Tom’s lifestyle, as he simply pulls back the curtains and opens the back doors to reveal the most envy-inducing views – including breathtaking sunsets and hilly landscapes.
He goes on to say how he pays just £500 insurance for the year and parks up wherever he so desires – no campsites needed.
And when asked how long he thinks he’ll live this lifestyle for, he says: “Forever.”
In another post, Tom explains how he spends his days beach hopping around the likes of Cornwall and Devon, and says they “feel like you’re abroad.”

He adds: “The beaches feel like you’re in Greece!”
Tom captioned the post: “If your in the UK and don’t do this, you really are missing out!!”
The post has since racked up thousands of views and comments online – and it’s little surprise people called Tom’s reality their “dream.”
“The life I want,” wrote one.
A second enthused: “My dream.”
A third penned: “Dreamy – I want to do this.”
Meanwhile, a fourth noted: “Let me join you man – OMG!”
A further added: “Living my dream!”
And one more chimed in: “What a vibe!”
