Family 'tired' of paying £1,100 rent plan to live on bus they bought for £2,000

A family reckon they'll save nearly £10,000 a year on rent and bills - after they move into a renovated bus. Dana Kovalkova, 28, and husband, Richard Fox, 32, bought the bus for £2,000 after growing sick of "wasting" £1,100 a month rent for their three-bedroom home.

They've begun converting it into a family home and say it should be ready in four months. The family have a "limited" budget of around £5,000 to £7,000 to complete the renovation and plan to use lots of reclaimed and recycled materials.

They say after that they'll only have to shell out £300 to rent a parking spot for the home, which will have two bedrooms, a bathroom and an open-plan living area. The couple plan to live there with their two children - Pavels, seven, from Dana's previous relationship, and their one-year-old Zelda.
