  • In this video we've traded our touring caravan for a static.
    Well at least for the weekend!
    We show you around the amazing Haven Holiday Park at Caister On Sea in Norfolk, which is just a stones throw from home for us.
    Watch the video and all will become clear.
    Cheers,
    Dave & Helen

      Hi Ste & Suz, you’re not wrong! There used to be a touring site on this park but sadly it was taken away to make room for more statics. Hope you’re both well and thanks for watching. ATB Dave & Helen 👍

    Hi
    Dave /Helen .
    Just a big thank you for all your vlogs , just over a year ago we invested in an old 21 yr old Swift for our first van due Mark being recently ill with Cancer, it gave us the freedom and flexibility we needed.
    Our first trip in Sept 21 was to the Norwich CCC site( I did thank you previously for the reccomendation )
    We've enjoyed evey minute of our first year with 16 weekends and 2 full weeks away in our caravan and of course watching and taking on board all your advice etc.
    So, on the 26th Oct we picked up our new ( New to us ) caravan A Compass Camino 554 2019 and just returned today from a short tester trip in North Yorkshire.
    Thanks to you both we've found the courage and confidence to grow and will never look back .
    Hugs to you both , Gillian and Mark in Leeds.x

      Hi Gillian & Mark, yes we remember you going to Norwich CCC. What a lovely story yours is and wonderful feedback, too thank you. Helen and I are delighted to have been of help. Your new caravan sounds just great and glad to hear the North Yorkshire trip went well. We are hoping to visit there next year. Here's to loads more happy trips. ATB, Dave & Helen 🙂

  • @staticcaravans-holidayhomes

    A lot of people feel it’s the natural step changing to a Static Caravan from a Tourer as it’s more accessible and easier as we get older. But you can’t beat the freedoms of Touring ❤️

    • @HelenandDave
      @HelenandDave  Před rokem +2

      I can see why people are drawn to a static caravan, very spacious and well equipped as they are, however we are firmly in the touring camp because of the freedoms that it offers and it’s a lot more cost effective. Each to their own though 👍 thanks for watching and leaving a comment too. Merry Christmas, Helen and Dave 👍

      Buenas Dias H&M,
      fear not! it was only a weekend trade and yes normal service will resume very soon. We've been busy though so hoping to catch up on your adventures very soon. Judging by the fabulous photo's it looks like the three of you are having a lot of fun, long may it continue, thanks and ATB, Dave & Helen.

      Helen and I met on a holiday park and my father was the general manager at this one in Caister from 1972 through to the mid 80's. Great fun as a kid growing up there!
