We have been caravanning for 28 years and have been members of the CC for 15 years. But with site fees becoming so expensive, due to the high and mid seasons being stretched, also we used to take the grandchildren away for a 'free' week in peak season using our credit card site night vouchers, then we could only use them for 5 nights, using any others later in the year but sadly now no more. Also we are getting older and tend not to take the van so far these days. It seems more of a hassle getting it home from storage, packing it and getting away than it used to. However, we love our van, it has taken us all of these years to find our perfect layout and awning. Anyway we are now considering giving up and buying a static van in the area we usually visit. I know the pitfalls - the ground rent, being at the mercy of the owners of the site,probably loosing money on it. But the family can use it, we can go whenever and whatever time of the day we want and best of all we can just pack up and go. I know it is up to us but does anyone out there have or has had a static van and what do you think? Answers greatfully received.
