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.

Why do you need 13 pairs of shoes? You can only wear one pair at a time!

We all need 13 pairs of shoes or more!! laughing.......not including boots!!  laughing

One pair of shoes and one pair of slippers are good enough for me and with such a large awning, we have plenty of space to store everything that we need. What we don't need, we don't buy, which saves us money!

Indeed we do. One day I'll go through my collection but it will take a long time. I've never owned a pair of trainers or walking boots though wink

Indeed so. And they move to a new pitch regularly......Balmoral, Sandringham,..... Buck House, although they probably have staff to put their awning up and take it down, empty the cassette ............

It's bit like the desert island principle, which luxuries would you take, since I would need a lorry load of books, music and a piano plus the family and pets I think I'll be stuck at home in the foreseeable future...wink

 There's a small bookshelf in our caravan as well as a magazine rack, there's a radio/cd player too. That caters for our needs, we don't want or need a piano!

You don't really need much of a bookshelf. OH currently takes about 140 books away with here. Just as well they are electronically stored on her kindle.😂

Sl, earlier in this thread you mentioned Titus Oates. I think you want Lawrence Oates, a compatriot of Captain Scott. Titus Oates was a rather unsavoury character in the time of the English Civil war.
