Kezzahug, start your own thread and you'll get loads of advice, as it is your post is embedded in amongst lots of others and your circumstances are a lot different. Good luck with your venture.

Kezzahug - big challenges ahead. Lots of forums on permanent living in a touring caravan come down to 2 key points legally. 1. You need to move every 28 days (21 days if using CL sites) 2. You cannot stay permanently in a caravan on one site. However you can get a seasonal pitch, and then not move the caravan, but you have to move yourselves out of it every 21 days for 2 days (or every 28 consecutive days for 2 days - depends on site rules too) then you can go back in again! In my case I am using a caravan term times, but return home for holidays, half term etc, so am not in it longer than 28 days consecutively, though I am using it 8 months of the year (pending buying a pied a terre locally which is the eventuual aim). However I may have to change sites, as the only reason I could keep the caravan on the current site in winter was because it could not be moved (field too soft) without churning up the whole site. Some non-club sites do allow caravans to stay permanently, but you yourself cannot live in it permanently, at least not legally. So the answer really is simply to get a second hand caravan (horsebox will NOT be accepted on Club sites!) then swap between two or three CL sites every 21 days which does mean idenifying which ones are 'open all year' as many close inn winter. Expect to pay £10-15 per night includinng EHU. And be sure you can get on and off pitches in the winter sludge! Security is an issue too, so the site should be reasonably secure and off the beaten track.

Hi, it really all depends on where you intend on staying. UK difficult but if Europe and willing to wildcamp very easy or stay over 90 days on campsite and get cheap rates and mainly good weather.

Be kind, be happy.

Not mad at all Rob but its not always the cheapest option as camp sites can be expensive!
Im assumimg you have purchased and lived in at least one house of your own? Theres a bloody huge difference, as you must have noticed!

Hi Peter, if you read back all through this thread you will find that Robs caravan was stolen some time back. He was only away from it one night and he had several security devices on it. Sadly that's a risk you take. If it's your home, what do you do then?

Best Regards,
Colin
