here we go guys ,,,, we park our van on a local farm. its very very secure, large grizzly snarling dogs roming free in the yard. we have access when we want, just ring the land owner so he calls the dogs in. it costs us the handsome price of £2 per week. thats £104 per year. they have never had a van stolen or even attempts made to break in to them.

I think I got a good deal looking at these posts, £160 on a gold cassoa site. cctv, 24 hour survailence etc. It is part of a site used for storage, tucked away in the bottom through two locked gates. Site is expensive though and has very little in the way of ammenities. Guess he makes his money in my using the site for weekends when I can't be bothered towing the van away.

Vic I do agree that caravanning is not a cheap exercise these days.  I remember when my parents paid £50 a year for storage and I think our storage and the site we use are expensive (they are one and the same place).  A seasonal pitch is £1400 a year and you still have to pay £200 for the winter storage.  At the mo we pay because the area suits us and the people and site are very nice but I think that we will have to reconsider at some stage.  We don't have a seasonal pitch because we can't justify it but it costs us £400 odd a year to store and we pay each time they tow it on and off the pitch.  This year it is £18 a night during the peak period for a serviced pitch, no sky point just water, drainage, hardstanding and electric and there is nothing on the site other than loos, showers and a play pitch.  I think this is quite high having looked around at a few other sites.

Hi,

I pay over the odds acoording to posts on this thread but you lot obviously dont have a GORDON. You can turn up whenever to visit your van, you have to give a few days notice if you want to take it out (out of courtesy more than anything else), but above all its alot safer there than that my house. He has 24hr guards that have to walk round and "check in" at varoius sites around the compound and if you aint got your card you cant get your van! Its a silver cassoa but in my opinion it should be a gold+. A place literally just 2mins away is gold and cheaper but not 24hrs and I have reservations of them being happy about us returning at 6pm on a sunday in the winter. Birmingham Caravan storage is tops!!!  Keep it up Gordon!
