Ugh, estate agents

Don’t get me wrong, it was a fantastic thing. Big satellite telly, really well equipped kitchen, proper beds and sofas.

It was humongous though, like a coach, and the thought of threading it though Cornish or Cumbrian B roads… :scream:

Lawyers, so, yeah probably. :grinning:

Weird innit? Imagine the number of balls-out luxury holidays you could have for 250k before you cark it.

might squeeze 3 into that

People want to pay £300,000 to to do their own cooking and washing up in the exact same spot for years on end.

WHAT IS THE FUCKING POINT??? FUCKING WHY???

Let me spend 2-weeks living in a slightly-less-good version of my own house.

Do you think there are lots of people out there who don’t know that hotels are A Thing?

Nice places where they do everything for you and clean-up after you no matter how squalid you are, and feed you and all that? And you can go to a DIFFERENT FUCKING ONE - even in a Foreign Country - several times a year for as long as you want?

Do they just not know? I just don’t get it…?

Having seen some of the mobile gin palaces, they’re probably better than their houses

Meh!

I fucking hate hotels. I like to self cater and to have a bit of space that is uncontaminated by Joe Fucking Public and his scabrous and infectious loinfruit so it is the old apartment or villa rental for me. I’m not keen on sharing a pool in the current climate so the villa is looking very much the favourite for the foreseeable future.

I can kinda understand a caravan - you take it to where you want to go, and set it up as a home, then you can live life fairly normally.

I still don’t understand the economics though. You spend £10k, and £100 a week on pitch fees. For £500 a week you can get a nice enough cottage, outside summer holidays, so you need to use it 25 times before it’s cheaper than a cottage that is obviously much better. I bet many aren’t used nearly that many times.

Mrs J wanted to have a punt on this. I don’t even have a tow bar!

I have never got beyond the “for the cost of a decent motor home/caravan, you can rent a good number of hotel rooms/cottages/villas” argument. The economic argument increasingly favours the bricks and mortar if you factor in the cost of insurance, storage (assuming you haven’t got a drive you can park the thing on), maintenance, depreciation etcetera. All of that said, in the current climate, where one cannot be certain of the hygiene standards of anywhere, one’s own sleeping accomodation which you know has been cleaned properly and which is uncontaminated by the great unwashed has an attraction beyond economics and I can see the argument. Sadly.

Buy it, travel all the uk coast over a few months, then sell it
