Can two people live comfortably full time in a camper van? My boyfriend wants to get a camper van and go traveling across the US. We are not financially set, and he wants to work from the road making money from the internet. we would be living extremely modestly. It sounds exciting, but I dont want to jump into it without doing my research first. Im also concerned about the tight living quarters. Any advice? I forgot to add...for people who have tried this, do you ever get lonely for other friends besides your spouse? Do you ever get on each others nerves and have no where to get away? Just some other concerns.

Is it possible to hook up a wind turbine to a camper van/caravan to create and store energy for later use? I was wondering if it wold be possible to rig up a mini wind turbine on the top of a camper van so that when you are driving it would create energy to store in a battery. Or would the extra energy needed to drive the van due, to the drag from the, any energy made by the turbine? If so can you get mini camping turbines? Thanks, Martin. Thanks for all your replies, they are great! The plan is to use the turbine to charge a separate battery, not the actual one used to start the car. The second battery will then be used for music, laptop and other small electrical appliances. I saw a guy on the UK version of Dragons Den who had a mini turbine but I was thinking that someone else must have done it already! If anyone knows of any websites that sell them then that would be a great help too! I look forward to your replies, thank you all so much! Martin.

Where is the best place in the UK to purchase a camper van? I mean, other than Ebay, Exchange and Mart or the internet. Are there any mass sales/auctions available.

Should have said looking for a "used" van at a reasonable price.
