my storage fees are one thousand & eghty pound a yr. and 380 miles away .mind u, we will use it from march, be in it a new year, on the mains water etc.

---

Am sitting ompatiently waiting for caravan to arrive in March having got a good trade in deal for the conway cruiser! Now then, we need to have some storage set up beforehand as it's against the leasehold here to store a van - drive isn't big enough for the car - the cruiser overan the pavement! We've seen a couple of places in Cambridgeshire so not too far away. If anyone can reccommend storage or a nice site with seasonal pitching in the region of a 40 mile radius from Letchworth area I'd be grateful. We did go hunting at the end of the summer when this was all a pipe dream but the caravan show turned it into a reality and it'll be here before we know it (want it NOW!) after all - Christmas will be over in 4 weeks.....

Thanks for any help/advice!

the cole green depot charge £400 per year.

vic, i refused to pay the prices in hertfordshire and because we go to the west country and wales mostly we have stored it just outside bristol for £150 every 6 months. site is very good and secure. have you thought about storing closer to where you normally go?

Ideally we'd like a seasonal pitch with winter storage not too far away. Have researched the Heritage Foundation one as I thought I might be able to wiggle in but I'm not a resident so that's out. Have found a site the other side of Cambridge but it has UHU on it's seasonal field which would mean us not using half the stuff we've bought a van for! Going to have a look anyway but again we go down Bath way couple of times a year and that would add at least another hour to the journey each way (this summer on 'floody Friday' it took us 8 hours instead of 3). I know I can't have it all but I find if I ask I get more info than surfing the net!

We pay £300 for storage,which is average for our area,on top of that there is insurance ,it is'nt cheap but we would never be without our van..how many of us could

---

That's what we have managed to find again about 15 mins away but the idea of a seasonal pitch is that I can run up there on my own for a day or two not have to move anything but we do want to be away for weekends and for a summer break. Most of the sites with seasonal pitches in a reasonable range mileage wise are fully booked for next year or we have to move off at least once a month and we can't guarantee that.

My brother has a van in Wales and he goes whenever he can but he does not want to tour with it and it takes him 3 hours+ to get to it.
