Couple save £9.6k-a-year travelling in a van - with their toddler
A couple save £9.6k-a-year after escaping the UK to live and travel in a campervan - with their toddler.
Bex Elliott, 31, and Henry Gayler, 29, had always talked about living in a van but when they fell pregnant with Ronnie, now three, they knew they had to go for it.
The pair didn't want to retire in 20 years time with "nothing to show for it" so bought a van for £11k and spent £15k renovating it.
They have now been on the road for 11 months - travelling around Europe - and believe they save around £800-a-month and £9.6k a year on rent and bills.
They say their son Ronnie is thriving living in nature and he decides his bed times and what he wants to learn.

01:42From a Ronny?
01:43Yeah.
01:44Maybe.
01:46How could we find out?
01:48I don't know.
01:50We're going to have to go and look at animals' heads and see if we can match the shape of their head to the shape of your skull.
01:59My head is round.
02:02Your head is round? Is the skull you have in your hand round?
02:06No.
02:07So is it your skull?
02:09I think it's not.
02:10No, probably not.
02:12It's not round.
02:13Okay, so we've worked out it's not a human skull, so maybe an animal?

02:53It goes on pizza.
02:56Is it a square, a circle or a triangle?
02:59I don't know.
03:01Yeah, triangle. That's the shape. So this is a triangle shape and this is a curve shape. A bit like a bit of a circle.
03:10And which one's it?
03:12That one's mine.
03:14Yeah, this is your jaw here.
