Have decided to start a new thread so not to take over the what your doing discussion.
The question / discussion is the benefit of living in a caravan on a club site and moving every 21 days to living in a brick built solid home.
For me apart from the investment angle is -Holidays away in the van, if you lived in one then it's no longer a mobile holiday home.
What do others think.

Posted on 01/03/2018 13:39 by MilothedogI think MM is just a having game with us and enjoys it. I see nothing wrong in playing the game as long as nobody is hurt by it. That's how I see it

He’s certainly having a game, Milo, but some don’t see it that way and seem to like nothing better than to follow him around in order to tell him how he should live his life.
Every new thread that’s started gives Malc another platform on which to play his game and provides more opportunity for those who wish to point out the error of his ways.
Posted on 01/03/2018 12:19 by JVB66I do not have to pay for my tv licence, and our house was bought cash with some of my redundancy money in 1994 for £27000 and it is now worth over £350,000,which we have willed to our children when we go,but what cash and investments we have is ours and we intend to spend as much as we can before we leave this world,and as for running costs it is below what it would cost to be living on sites all year,

We paid £19,500 for ours in 1979. They sell between £725,000 & £ 750, 000 now. although one sold for £825,000 two years ago
Thing is, it's not real money as it where live and still love living here. My Son will be well sorted in the future though which is a comforting thought.

I think hard work also counts for a lot as well as luck, we both worked very hard and made lots of sacrifices to be where we are now. this also enabled us to buy another smaller property some 12 years back which we have been able to gift to our Son and Daughter in law to give them a start in life.
Not the same culture now from what I see 
Posted on 01/03/2018 12:00 by KjellNNso it has thawed out since yesterday? that is fortunate!
" The warden came over to tell us that the site taps are all frozen except one tap in a sunnier part of the site, so we can still get water. However, the water in the Aquaroll froze so we simply switched over to using the onboard tank. So no problem getting water through the taps in our caravan because the onboard tank is working fine. I was even able to have a shower this morning. The only concern was whether the water would drain from the shower base.Fortunately, it drained without any problem at all. However, the sink and washbasin drains are still blocked with ice. "

It hasn't thawed out yet and will probably continue like this until Saturday when temperatures might start to edge just above freezing during the day. We're just glad of our onboard tank that is keeping the water flowing through our caravan taps. Incidentally, house drains can get blocked too! So it's not necessarily always any better in a house.

I was referring to your Aquaroll!
First you said the water in it was frozen, then you said it was empty, and you could use it to fetch more water.
So I was saying it is fortunate it has thawed out.
Bit of a pain that your drains are still frozen though, not something that happens in our house as it is very well insulated and the drains are too far underground for the frost to affect them.
Some places in Norway, where it can get down below -30 sometimes, have that problem, the trick is to leave the hot water tap trickling overnight, or these days to install trace heating.
