There’s a secret not many people in the UK know about. There’ s a strata of people in our Country who make the best of their spare time and make lifelong memories fuelled by fresh air and good times? Want to know more? They own static caravans. “Caravans?” you might say as a thousand preconceived ideas ebb into your mind, yes indeed. The holiday home is your ultimate life changing leisure purchase! If you want to find out more, read on. Life is busy, busier than ever it was. Modern technology with all its promise of hover cars and Star Trek Style ideals of a paperless society, have popped like a 1950’s bubble gum. Technology in the modern working world invades every second of our lives and the basic work life balance for some is a pipe dream. Getting away from it all is a laughable dream as we can’t even disconnect as the Iphones and Macbooks slowly strangle us all in an Orwellian nightmare. Rewind sixty years and families were living a different life not plagued by Wifi, Social Media and Bosses riding their Whatsapp groups like a Pony on the beach at Blackpool waiting for situation updates. Yet the desire was still there to get away with the family to the Seaside and relax. The Victorians loved the British Seaside and that’s why resorts like Scarborough and South End grew at the same time as the Railways. It was an Adventure and thoroughly convenient. It was not an escape to destress, it was a tradition. The intention of the Victorians to enjoy quality leisure time was fulfilled with the Static Caravan. Now many people who haven’t been around caravans all their lives like me are totally in the dark of how cool they are. Some people have an inkling and they might have been on a holiday and remember Gas Mantle lights and queuing up for drafty toilet blocks on a rainy Bank Holiday in 76. Its not like that now,and actually it hasn’t been like that for decades. The have evolved to the point that many have specification that would shame the homes of their owners if you stacked them up side by side. Holiday homes as many people have evolved to call them are next level to their forebears. Modern layouts designed by computer and the distilled knowledge of the manufacturers make the most of the space and are your home from home. Having your own Caravan is your home from home. A safe place where making memories happen as soon as you start the car to go there. Its not like a Hotel where you have to book. Its not like a Guest House where you finally get to the room and find the place in an unacceptable state and feel let down. The Caravan has your belongings inside, your bedding, your tv, your dog walking coat, reminders of trips out, the Tokens from the sea front machine don’t forget the obligatory Seashells on the mantel piece. It feels like home and it really is. The clock is ticking through the week. Edging towards the weekend. Sometimes too slowly. There’s a real excitement bubbling about getting to the van and being around like-minded people in a place you love. Nostalgia after years of this activity washes away the stress of negative lifestyles and busy modern life. It’s like you remove yourself from the Rat Race, you can breathe for once. This golden time is something many of us reach for and many never achieve. Yes, holiday home ownership is a large financial spend- up there with your house or car. Running costs can vary with site fees but generally what people will spend on an annual one off holiday can cover average site fees for on average 10 Months of the year, this means more breaks more often in a caravan you own. Some operators can help towards running costs with help to buy and offer letting schemes. But the best way to do this is to buy a holiday home that you can comfortably afford without financial stress. The holiday home and time with the family in this crazy world is something that is becoming harder to find. So if you experience a stressful life and find your spare time trudging around shops or being forced into DIY? Just think you might be able to have your own Caravan on an epic park somewhere in the beautiful United Kingdom. Your neighbours are like minded people, someone else cuts the grass and just like the Victorians and the families of the Sixties before you the penny drops!
