.... don't be looking at static caravans!
Due to delays and other 'stuff' alluded to in recent posts on this blog we took a short notice trip to Wales - North Wales Cricceth to be precise. Monday 27th May I was all set to be in the workshop at home finishing off the plaster boarding when we got an email in relation to visiting a static caravan site on the coast. A flash decision to go to Wales ( the boat was being blacked ) happened and we headed off 2 hours later to a nice hotel in Cricceth.
We booked in for chats at two sites one on the coast and one slightly inland all around the Harlech area. Lovely people to chat to and very open and honest about costs and use... basically you have to use them a lot to ge the value with costs of vans around the 35-40k mark with licences to occupy from 10-13 year then the van is worth what you can sell it for less removal fees... so basically budget for bugger all. Then the site fees of 5-6k a year plus gas plus electric plus internet plus insurance - it's a 10k a year journey. I always used to think the 3-5 k a year for having the boat was a lot - out of interest we got a valuation for Percy while at the marina which was better than we were expecting.
