Owning a caravan can give you fantastic flexibility when it comes to holidays and short breaks. You can tour the country at your leisure or head to your favourite caravan sites where you know you'll receive a warm welcome and have access to the very best facilities.
There is no waiting for airport reservations, and caravan sites don't hold you to long term bookings. Modern caravans are now equipped with most of the features a modern home would contain, there is no longer the feeling of hardship attached to time away. Of course, caravanning isn't cheap and there are lots of things you need to think about before buying your first caravan. Budget will be all important as the top of the range models will cost many thousands to but. You can still pick up smaller, older models for far less though.
As with buying a new home or a new car, a caravan can vary in cost from a few hundred pounds to many thousands of pounds. Your budget will be individual and as with looking for a new home I would recommend as a first step try to list what you want for and in a caravan.
Once that has been decided, think about how big the caravan needs to be to fit everyone in. How often are you going to use the caravan? What do you want the caravan for exactly? Do you have adequate storage facilities for it?
I would also recommend staying in a caravan for a few days before you buy one. I would also recommend looking back over your last year's diary. See how many opportunities you would have had to go away, and try to project how many you will have for the year to come. This is important to consider if you don't want to buy a new ornament for the driveway.
Talk to friends and family who have caravans. Many will be more than happy to you guidance and advice. If you do decide that buying a caravan is the best thing for you, you'll be in for some really great times.
