could you live in a caravan all year round, if the place was somewhere warm most of the year, say like spain could you do it,
A friend owns one but only holidays there but he is hoping to move out there full time, he loves the place, but living full time is different then a holday

Answer...yes. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

The way things are going....probably sooner rather than later. :cwm3:

It's not just the accommodation though, it's the neighbours who can upset your applecart.

Haha...yeah, but you know what a nightmare and expense the 'authorities' there would turn it into. :NoNo:

Problem with static caravans too, regards shipping....all size and no weight. Not a cheap proposition.

maybe find a blue print of a 30 foot static and build them over here they gotta be much better option than a nippa hut although a bit more expensive but with the cost of labour and materials they could be built very cheaply

you notice they waffle on without actually telling you how much they cost lol plus they are made of concrete yet again so not very moveable unlike a static ya can just transport it somewhere else.
