 and expect the worse, you cannot blame the owners for that. Once you get to know them then you can let on! We have never had any problems with any of the sites we have stayed on adopting this strategy. If you have to move after 2 weeks so be it, you could always go back and revisit sites. I appreciate that moving every 2 weeks would not be great, but Im sure that once you are in on some of the smaller sites then you would be fine! I take it that it would be small sites you are interested in. Commercial sites for full timing in our opinion is a complete waste of money. Hope that helps!

I have been thinking of living full time in a static caravan. I have a ready-made pitch on my sister's land in the Lincs. countryside so no worries there. My big worry is the Lincs. winds in the depths of winter!! Has anyone had experience of this and how did the van and you cope?? Also, is it really worth buying one with double glazing and central heating - does it make a big difference? Any advice for this 53 year-old woman and her dog who really wants to take the plunge but not sure if it's the right thing! All the comments seem very positive.....Thanks

Unless you are used to living in a draughty fridge freezer I would go for double glazing and central heating! It would be bitterly cold without it. But you have to way that up with the cost of propane used!

I am thinking of doing this as my husband and i always fighting over money to the point he has moved out! We want a stres free life! He work at a caravan site and its looking info renting one there for us as he can get it cheap. Only problem its not all year round :/ My question to you is, do your children go to school?

Our kids have all left home, my daughter is 18 and lives with her Mum and "M"s kids are 26 and 24! So no issues for us. My advice would be to take up the offer of a cheap caravan and save some cash and buy a used caravan, then you will have your own van and can stay where ever you want?

We are planning on doing this as soon as our second child is born. We will have myself, my husband, our dog, our two year old and a three month old baby in a 23 footer. People think we're nuts
and expect the worse, you cannot blame the owners for that. Once you get to acknowledge them then you can lease on! We have never had any problems with any of the sites we have stay on adopting this strategy. If you hold to move after 2 weeks thus be it, you could always go back and revisit web site. I appreciate that moving every 2 week would not be great, but I m sure that once you are in on some of the smaller sites then you would be fine!
