When his brother offered him an abandoned static caravan that was sitting on his farm, Benn Berkeley, 38, took it as an opportunity to move out of his rented apartment and start a new life off-grid.

“It wasn’t pre-planned; it was forced out of COVID,” he said. “When COVID happened, I lost all my work. It was a mix of having nothing to do and the opportunity to do up this static home.”
