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.

I didn't watch her do it, I'm only going by what she told me! Anyway, that problem is resolved. We're getting water through the taps using the onboard tank whilst the empty Aquaroll is disconnected and being stored in the awning until the temperatures go above freezing.
That proves that living in our caravan is as good as living in a house. So there's no way I'm going to waste money buying or renting property when that money can be used in our enjoyment of staying on CMC sites! After all, you can't take your property with you when you go! Your house gets left behind and someone else gets it and then its too late to enjoy your life with the money that you worked so hard to get all your life.

I can't afford to buy or rent anyway, it would financially cripple me, so it's not an option for me. I would feel absolutely miserable trapped in four walls and being unable to afford to go anywhere or move my caravan off the driveway!
To me, it beggars belief, that anyone who is retired would want to be trapped in one place by a house when they could use that money to have the latest model twin axle caravan with all the mod cons, latest model Range Rover to tow it and have money to tour the world, meet new people and enjoy visiting new places. The world is your oyster, yet you choose to be trapped physically and financially by your house!
Best thing is to sell up and use that money to get a life before its too late!
From what I've seen here on this forum, some of you have between quarter of a million to half a million quid tied up in property that if released could buy you the life of your dreams!

Maybe we are living 'The life of our dreams' Malc. Nicely secure in lovely houses which have been paid for with the option ('Option' being the operative word) of going away for lovely holidays and surrounded by wonderful friends and family, and happy in the knowledge of passing on a little of our hard-earned cash when we die to our loved ones! The feeling is comfortable to say the least.

I'm sure your loved ones can provide for themselves like you had to when you were their age. You need to love yourself, taffyY, by enjoying doing the things that you couldn't do when you were their age because of being trapped by a job and mortgage.
If I had half a million tied up in property, I would be off to the estate agent to get it on the market without further ado! Once sold, I would get that money into my bank account in cash savings. I would then get the best possible brand new tow car of the year and upgrade my caravan to the latest model 8 ft. wide, 23 ft. long twin axle. Once fully equipped, I would be off getting a life with it!
