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.

Another plus to living in a house is not having to worry and stress about wet and soggy ground.

It's still a holiday home for us because my wife doesn't work and I only work part-time, so semi-retired. This means everyday of our life is a part-time holiday. So we are effectively using the caravan to enjoy our retirement holiday!

Yes but you have other things to stress about in a house.

So if that is the case, why are you stressing about your pitch and needing to park on the street if it's your holiday home,

At least I don't have to worry about which street i'm going to be living in.

 

Maybe the pub that your wife goes to when you are in work will let you pitch on their car park.

That's the beauty of it. We can park on the street near the club site for free if no pitch is available. My wife is there to look after it whilst I'm at work so it would be perfectly safe! So I'll be making money without having to spend it. Win, win!
