Caravan Help

[Guest peter2b2002]

I know this is a dodgy thing to talk about openly, but my wife and I are completing our house sale on the 29th, we have some where temp to go for 2 -3 weeks but rather that renting a house (6 months min) we are thinking of a caravan. the only thing is what type. I know you can't tow much over 18' with a land rover , any one know of a good make/model with heating etc for some where arround £3-4k

i'v already said we could use my 2 man tent that I use @ Le Mans but when on holiday my wife only stayes in 4*hotels you can imagine the responce

Try the caravan show at NEC this week until Sunday, or buy a copy of '' Which Caravan '' magazine, and there's a couple of big dealers in Northamptonshire.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What ?

[Guest minty]

Pete - don't take it anywhere near the Top Gear test track ...............

[Andy Spencer]

You can hire them for reasonable money, if you don't want to keep one. Also a good time of year to do a rental deal?

if you know anyone with a bit of land statics can be had really cheap, or try local holiday camp maybe do a deal this time of year much better than tourer

[Guest chris brown]

I was thinking along the same lines as Craig I wouldnt buy one unless you are intending keeping it for future use. There are thousands of empty statics on holiday sites at this time of the year

[Guest Jabberwocky]

A lot of local holiday camps with static caravans are shut for a few months a year (so they are not classed as a full time residence) so pay less to the goverment. So if you do go down those lines then make sure it is open for the full period you require

[Guest peter2b2002]

thanks for all the tips, she who must be obeyed has found a holiday let near by for a few weeks so a van type home is on hold for the moment

+ they have a garage for my 2b- O joy

Hi Kevin, sounds good do you need to get rid quick? also on a caravan web site there are some folk claiming its not leagle to tow a van that big with a car or 4x4 due to it's length ,had any problems in that way?
