When the weather's cold and miserable we prefer to stay indoors as much as possible and only go out when we absolutely have to. Ice, snow, rain, gales, why on earth would we want to go out if we don't have to? Yes a caravan can be snug and warm inside, but what about outside? The inside of a caravan is a tiny space to be cooped up in when compared to a house, and we have all our "stuff" at home. Books, hobbies, cable tv, dvds, and of course central heating. Then there's the cost. We are not particularly well off as pensioners, so we prefer to spend our "holiday money" at a time when we have a more than reasonable chance of enjoying ourselves.
If anyone enjoys going caravanning in inclement weather, fine, go and enjoy it, but for us it would be an ordeal which we would not enjoy, so we simply don't do it. Our caravan is paid for, and costs us nothing when we are not using it, so we only use it when we would enjoy it. Each to their own I feel.

Ha ha, Plenty of B...S... in the media Bertie. Those that have a good company or personal pension, and own their own homes may be fine, but if your company pension is miniscule, like mine, don't own your home, and most of your income comes from state pension, then things aren't so great. This country's state pension is one of the worst in the developed world.
We are snug and warm at home though I must admit, it's just that we can only afford to go away when we would enjoy it most, and that means April to the end of September. We don't tend to go away in August either, as I volunteer on a Heritage Railway and that is our most busy time.
