1:02 State pension, National Insurance and pension credit
3:05 A real week of motorhome spending
11:13 The hidden annual costs
14:42 Winter, addresses and the risk of one pension
17:07 Habits that keep the budget under control
17:47 The final answer for couples and single pensioners
Could a retired couple really live full time in a motorhome on nothing but the state pension? I work through a complete week of real spending, from diesel and food to pitch fees, laundry, pub meals and the one day that costs nothing.
I also explain the full new state pension, pension credit, National Insurance requirements and the practical realities faced by Margaret and Dave in their Fiat Ducato-based motorhome. Then I add the hidden annual costs that weekly budgets often leave out, including insurance, road tax, testing, servicing, tyres, phones and repairs.
Finally, I look at winter costs, the need for a postal address, what happens if one pension disappears, and the habits that help keep life on the road affordable. The final figures show whether two full state pensions are enough—and why living alone is much harder.
