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.

In this great debate so far, and having read comments on -

Living in a Caravan Vs Living in a house

It looks to me, at the moment,  like its Malcolm v Everyone else....

Could there also be a bit of "Green eyed monster" out there too?

If I wanted to move house every 21 days rather than tour I might as well buy another house

It would be a surprise to the club if we all decided to live in a caravan on seasonal pitches. Agree a cheap way to live, cheap electricity, free wifi, but I wouldn't move every 21 days, instead I would treat us to two nights at a luxury hotel, The club can raise the pitch fees so that people who only holiday in their caravan can pay for my lifestyle.

even doing what I would call the jobs of the man.

You fought for equal rights, you are fighting for equal pay, now get out there and be an equal in the jobs that men are 'supposed' to to do.

I did not fight for equal rights or pay. Plus I am happy for a male to do the heavy work, that's if they are capable, Some men are more keyboard work happy than manual work happy.

Hi, Swifty 2018. In the last year we stayed on Northbrook Farm CMC site, Cirencester Park CMC site, North Ledaig near Oban when we visited Scotland, Lancing Fruit Farm CL, Baltic Wharf CMC, Bristol for Christmas and New Year and yes we did have a real Christmas tree and lights for our awning. In addition,  Alderstead Heath CMC and Gatwick and two other CMC sites whilst in Scotland last summer and three other CMC sites in England including Littlehampton. All this has given us a varied and interesting way of life. 

The 21 night rule of having to move is actually a benefit to us because it enables us to get a change of scene and location within a reasonable period of time. We find that more enjoyable than being stuck in one location all the time. Like they say, 'a change is as good as a rest.'

If I remember correctly, you said the other day that this year you will be spending the spring/summer/autumn going between Northbrook Farm site and Littlehampton site, which I believe is in the same area, so hardly a significant change of location!

Which site will you be using when you have to leave your winter seasonal at Gatwick next winter?

Why not actually retire and do some real touring?  Even in winter there are enough sites open to do that.

Wasn't Cirencester the one you had to cancel in October due to a problem with the shogun, I remember because we were there. The only holiday stay was Oban and Bristol, so not that varied.

There are many men willing to let the women do the heavy manual work and using the "equality rights" as an excuse not to do it themselves. Some have a disability than renders them unable to do it, but they tend to find a solution to assist the female.
