I bought my first caravan just over a year ago because I saw a special offer at woodlands campsite for 5 nights for only £49. I bought a 1988 elddis tornado for £200 after haggling it down from £495. I used this for 3 holidays and due to the cheap price of the caravan every holidays price worked out alot cheaper per night than any hotel. I have recently sold this caravan for £300 a nice £100 profit and invested in a 1991 clubman 500-4 for £400. This caravan effectively cost me £100 and it has a cassette toilet and Water heater. As it's just me and my fiancé we leave the back made up as a fixed bed and use the front as the living room giving us plenty of space. I have now used this for two holidays so have more than got my moneys worth out of it.

Even though I have dirt cheap caravans I still go to the same locations as the expensive caravans and can still have exactly the same holiday at a fraction of the cost. But I can also go to hotels and package holidays without feeling I should use the caravan because I have already got my money's worth out of it. 

What are people's thoughts on this "bargain" caravaning?
