    I really love your videos. They're very natural and informative. I also love your accent/dialect. As a Brummie, I have to say that we don't hear enough regional accents. Keep up the excellent work, and stay happy.

    Great to know Ivan we think our van is a 2017 but now we know how we will be checking. Our site is 10 years then a yearly check but I have neighbours who live on site and they have been there over 15 years and have had no issues with the park owners, as you mentioned they want to make sure the caravan and decking are in good condition and if all ok there is no problem. Thanks for the info

    Hi Ivan the sight I was on in Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 was privately owned and if your caravan is in good condition he they will give you 22 years and for lodges 27 and the huge lodges for ever if they are in good condition it was a lovely caravan park I know some parks are 15 and 10 years only I know in America they let you keep then until they fall apart some videos I watch in America some peoples caravans are years old but are beautiful it should be same in uk 🇬🇧 great informative information as always it’s nice to know the things your sharing 👍👍

    Another informative video Thankyou. Also thought about you both today - Aldi are selling rattan balcony planters online £6.99 if that’s of any use to you? We were so close at buying a static a few weeks ago - the ground rent stopped us at nearly £600 a month so these videos are great advice 👍

    Thanks Ivan, great information.
    Could you possibly do a video on transporting a van like yours to a another site. I.e the logistics, companies that provide the service, cost etc.
    These videos are very helpful, my partner and I are considering this way of living. We are weighing up pros and cons before we make a decision.
    Thanks brother. 👍

    hi i watched your video of the 60days and u need to leave for a few days, ive had a caravan for years and my brother now lives in it, there is no 60 day rule he can stay there 10 month out of 12 because park is only open 10 months of the year, have u though about moving your caravan to a park that allows u to stay ?

      Yes the UK is desperate in trying to find a decent priced place to live. Caravan, boat, static home, flat, all have their own problems.

    Not sure if it's already been discussed but anyone who buys a static and then goes on to try and sell it will take a massive hit. Touring vans hold their price far better. People need to be aware of this before buying a static caravan. I can't tell you the number of times I've heard people going off on a rant when they've been quoted a price for selling a van they bought just a few years ago!

      If we wanted to sell we can sell private and transfer the ownership this site allows that

      I agree my husband and I brought a brand new caravan it cost £60,000 and then due to family problems we had to sell it, we tried privately but had no interest, the site wouldn't let us put up for sale signs in our van, and told us if we did manage to sell privately that the new owners would pay more for site fees each year as it wouldn't have been sold through them, in the end we had to sell back to the site and only got £29,000 this was all the money we had worked for all our lives, it was heartbreaking!

      We will be fine the plants will have finished by then and all pots put in the rear storage area so nothing will be blowing around and we prefer to have a dressing room instead of a twin bedroom that we dont use as saving space is important
      Thank you Keith
