A static caravan is a prefabricated home that can be transferred to any place the owner may like. It is very similar to holiday apartments and it can also look like a small flat. A static caravan comes with a fully fitted kitchen usually including a full gas oven, a fridge freezer, running water and plenty of cupboard space. Its lounge area can provide plenty of seating space and has a dinner table where a family may eat very comfortably. What you would likely find at home is also found on a modern static caravan.
It also comes with a complete fully fitted bathroom that has a shower, sink and in built toilet. It sometimes can have a bath tub depending on the size and the model of the caravan you go for. You could spend more time at your static caravan throughout the year if you opted for luxurious models as many luxury models of a static caravan come complete with central heating and double glazing.
A static caravan would provide owners the experience of having a cheap holiday. However, you can always make money with your caravan. You could always rent it out to families and friends who are also looking for a cheap holiday. However, it would provide you a very nice income if you choose to use your caravan during off season only.
A static caravan can be transferred to a different location. Nevertheless, it is usually placed in just one location since it can be very expensive to move and re-site the caravan. In deciding where to spend your holiday, certain things need thorough consideration. Amongst them would be the distance you are willing to travel to get to your caravan, the number of days you are going to spend on holiday at a time and the local amenities and attractions in the vicinity of where your caravan is located.
A caravan owner must be aware of all associated running costs. There will always be a site fee that needs to be paid in a caravan park. Prices do vary due to location, amenities, and length of the open season. Since your static caravan will be using both gas and electricity, you should check if the electric hook up is already included in your site fees. It is also a good idea to have static caravan insurance. Just like house insurance, it will cover you from damages caused by weather, vandalism and any accidental damages. Just make sure you read its policy to know its restrictions and exclusions.
