Tony Jones Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Spot on Colin - don't let anyone tell you it makes economic sense, unless you buy a really old (cheap) one, and have a bit of no-how to keep it going yourself. That approach got us some amazing holidays abroad when our kids were younger, which we couldn't have had any other way. But once you get into buying new or nearly-new, you'd have to live a long time to make your investment pay off in terms of how many "normal" holidays you could get for the money! It's a lifestyle thing - you have to love living in a little box, and moving on most days (otherwsie a caravan makes more sense!). But if that IS what you love, there;'s no substitute!
