I have had a few minor issues recently and am starting to think about getting a Static caravan to use as a base of operations. I am not going to come off the road but a few of the recent niggles have been a touch inconvenient.
I also don't have quite enough room in the van, I could upgrade to a bigger one but I actually like having a compact one that can go anywhere. I don't want to rent a house that I won't enjoy staying in and will probably only use 1 or 2 months a year.
The static caravan seems to be a nice balance. From what I can make out it costs about £2,000 per year in site fees. But you get running water, electric and phone line (for broadband). It will give me somewhere to register my vehicle and insurance etc. If the vehicle has to come off the road I don't have to stay in a B&B.
I went to look at a few this morning and even the smallest ones are a little too big for me . I have gotten used to living in a 2mtr x 3.5Mtr box and anything bigger and I feel like I am rattling around too much...
Just mulling it over at the moment as one possibility......
Do any other Fulltimers use a static as a base?
