![An investment in a static caravan or a mobile home can be a big step. There are a number of issues to consider, but when you think about the many benefits, most people realise that investing in a mobile home or static caravan could be one of the best things they ever did. Most of us lead hectic lives and getting away on holiday becomes ever more important. However, the cost of airline travel, hotels and meals out just keep rising, which means less time away for many of us. But with your own static caravan, you have total control. You can put your static caravan or mobile home in a location that suits you and then visit it whenever you wish. Even better you can lend it to friends and family, or consider renting it out during the holiday season to make a little extra income. The great joy of doing this is that you get to decide. No bookings are required when you want to visit, you can site the caravan in a place that's convenient to get to, and you can cook your own meals. In addition, you can customise your choice exactly to your own specifications without the major costs of buying a second home. Many choices today are just as comfortable and appealing as a second home and come with lots of great features such as fridge freezers, a sound system with a Bluetooth connection and even a dishwasher. For many people, investing in a static caravan is one of the most cost-effective ways of getting that dream holiday home you've always wanted. Because you can choose the site and the way the caravan is kitted out, there is potentially a lot more flexibility than in buying a house and it is invariably more affordable. As holiday accommodation becomes more expensive, having a place of your own for holidays makes a lot of sense. Even if you don't have the entire sum needed to buy what you want right away, there are plenty of easily managed finance options available. If you believe that time away in gorgeous surroundings needs to be a part of your life, then this is an investment in your lifestyle and well-being. You can have the food you like, the way you like it cooked when you feel like eating it. There are of course some fixed costs to doing this. There will be site fees and occasional maintenance to carry out, of course, but renting out your caravan for a few weeks during peak holiday seasons could easily cover most of those costs. Recent figures indicate that there are around 365,000 static caravans in the UK alone [1] not to mention the increasing popularity of buying mobile homes abroad. More and more people are taking holidays in caravans clearly, a lot of people have already discovered how versatile and rewarding this type of holiday style can be.
