About Van Life UK

Van Life UK is an independent resource for anyone considering, or already living, the van life in the United Kingdom. We produce practical, accurate guides based on real research and up-to-date knowledge of UK regulations.

Our Mission

We believe that van life should be accessible, safe, and informed. Our mission is to provide the most reliable, comprehensive resource for van lifers in the UK — from legal requirements and vehicle conversions to gear advice and touring tips.

How We Work

• Every guide is researched against current UK laws, DVLA requirements, and industry standards
• We verify information against official government sources and expert advice
• Guides are updated regularly as regulations and best practices change
• We use UK-specific terminology and context (V5, MOT, DVLA, etc.) — this is a UK-focused resource

Editorial Standards

We hold ourselves to high editorial standards. Every guide is produced with accuracy, clarity, and practical usefulness as the top priorities. We don't fabricate reviews, invent star ratings, or use fake urgency tactics.

Our Coverage

We cover the full spectrum of UK van life: starter guides, power and electrical systems, wild camping and park4night, van conversions, gear reviews, insurance and breakdown cover, and seasonal touring across the UK.
