💡 Money-Saving Tips for Van Trips
- Mix wild camping with campsites — Even one or two nights wild camping can save £25-50. Apps like Park4Night and iOverlander help find spots.
- Cook in the van — A full meal out costs £15-25 per person. A cooked van dinner is £3-5. Stock up at supermarkets near your route.
- Fuel up at supermarkets — Tesco, Sainsbury's, and Asda are typically 5-8p/litre cheaper than motorway services.
- Travel midweek — Campsite rates drop 20-40% outside weekends and school holidays.
- National Trust membership — £80/year gives free parking at hundreds of scenic locations. Pays for itself in 3-4 trips.
- Fill your fresh water tank before leaving — Some campsites charge £3-5 for water refills.
