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’ve always come down on the “living in a house” side, but on days like this I can think of one reason why a caravan (at least a modern one) may be better - only one room to heat. I’ve never lived in a house with central heating, so I’m pretty hardy. But when the wind from the east blows through the walls in our bedroom, and the room temperature is at 8 degrees, there’s maybe something to be said for one cosy little room.

P.S. It’s warm in bed under the duvet.

We have certainly found a modern caravan cosy down to -15c.

I agree that a single caravan room can be nice and cosy, we were warm at Rowntree Park in the snow earlier in the month, the only problem was pipes freezing up! That used to be a problem in houses years ago but not such a common event now.

We were at Moreton in Marsh last month. 3 bitterly cold days and nights, but bright and sunny by day so dogs could walk without getting covered in mud and snug at night with the heating on. smile

Unfortunately the proposed circumstances of leaving someone alone in a van on the streets of Worthing does raise a few issues about safety and welfare for any individual.

The proposal to then use Northbrook Farm club site facilities whilst parked on the street is questionable to say the least.

This is a matter for the club too.

Whatever the rights and wrongs of the supposed activity, Brue, it does not excuse the making of such unpleasant personal comments.
