How to Survive WINTER Van Life in FINLAND - No INSULATION- Low Budget
Рет қаралды 43,859
2 ай бұрынWe have been living in a camper in Helsinki, Finland for the last 1 year. In this video we show you the reality of a van life in a low budget campervan in Scandinavia. We also will take you for a tour in our tiny house, including how we shower during the winter. By the end of the video you will notice why you shouldn't buy an Italian IVECO if you are living in Finland!
In Finnish below:
Retkeilyautossa asuminen Suomessa kesällä ja talvella. Mitä eroa näillä vuodenajoilla oikeasti on? Vai onko sillä vuodenajalla mitään merkitystä matkailuautoilijan näkökulmasta? Me asutaan vuoden ympäri tässä Iveco Dailyssa. Tässä meidän faktat ja haasteet vanlife-todellisuudesta Suomessa!
🔥The stove: Below is the affliated link to the stove we use which is made in Canda, and super well made 👌

Hello! Great to find your videos! Could I ask what the parking situation is like for campervans in Helsinki? Any safety issues? Was thinking of parking somewhere in the outskirts of Helsinki and commute in to school in the center since I would imagine parking with a campervan near the center is not a practical possibility?
