A couple have saved thousands of pounds in living expenses by kitting out a van with a toilet, a hob and a double bed in a bid to avoid paying out on expensive student accommodation.
Daniel Dayment, 22, spent £10,000 on the van conversion after saving up money at university from odd jobs including freelance photography, cleaning, and working in a bike shop, as well as saving part of his student loan.
Daniel, a third-year photography student, and his partner, Mary Cullen, 23, who live in Totnes, Devon, spent three months converting the 2007 Citroen Relay van as a lockdown project over the summer of 2021.
