With the increment in fuel prices, the instability of the travel market and the financial state of affairs globally, 2009 appears to be like a year were nearly all families will be passing their useful vacation time in their home country. As a kid, our family very rarely travelled overseas for our yearly vacations, instead we'd have a lot of weekends and weeks holiday time throughout the year at caravan sites up and down Scotland in the United Kingdom and sometimes we would even venture south into England!

My first remembrance of these vacations was in a big static caravan someplace on the east coast of Scotland but as time marched on we finally bought our own touring caravan. After buying our own caravan It was at this time our weekend breaks really got off the ground and all most every Friday evenings after school we could be found travelling with our caravan behind us. Often the camp sites we'd visit were no more than one hours drive from our house but on some occasion they could be up to 2 or 3 hours drive off.

Irrespective if vacationing in a static caravan or a touring caravan we always had fun, new adventures and a new place to explore. As a kid this was fantastic and it must have been this travelling and exploring experiences that resulted in me converting to a caravan enthusiast in my adulthood. Across the years I've taken my family around the United Kingdom and on a lot of occasions crossed the English Channel to France, Germany Switzerland as a matter of fact a good many of the mainland European countries.

As brought up previous there are 2 types of caravan, the static and the touring. What I haven't brought up as yet is the motor home. These are your 3 alternatives when deliberating a caravan vacation and although they all may seem the same they're in point of fact a great deal different from one another.

The touring caravan will be towed by your car to your site of selection. Straight off the option of which touring caravan you have will depend upon the size of car you own. Touring caravans are available from modest two-berth, easily towed by an average family car up to six-berth, which will require something more substantial like a four x four. With a static caravan you will not be utilising a car to get the caravan to any site but then again once at your site of choice it could be there for a while, you'ed better like the area! The motor home removes any need for a separate unit to pull the caravan as this is the car and caravan in one package. The disadvantage of the motor home nonetheless is, once set up in your camping area you have lost your transportation. You'll often see motor homes with bicycles attached to the rear or even small bikes or scooters, and some cases you may even see a large motor home towing a very little car!

The inside space of any caravan is limited but in a static caravan the usable space may be applied better, with separate living areas and sleeping rooms. The touring caravan and motor homes nevertheless will have a seating area that doubles as your sleeping room come evening time. Storage of clothes, food and everything else that makes for a fine vacation may also be an issue with touring caravans and motor homes. With limited space you are forced into choosing which items you want to bring on holiday and those that you would like but can't fit in. Obviously with a static caravan you visit often you will be leaving a lot of your clothes and kitchen utensils there reducing the need to transport as much.

A third and final consideration in the decision of touring caravan, static caravan or motor home is luxuriousness. While a basic caravan model may include a electric refrigerator, a toilet and a heater the deluxe models can come with stereo systems, showers, satellite television, microwave ovens and double glazing. As a matter of fact today most items found in your home can be found in caravans.

If you're caravanning with children a basic touring caravan will be a dandy addition to your family unit, while adding flexibility to your vacation destinations. For a bit more lavishness for your money look into what motor homes have for you but think about that lack of transport matter. Lastly, if you a exceptional place in your heart that you can visit time and time again without ever getting bored, then you could get a static caravan to visit any time of the year.

When buying a second hand caravan that has been advertised under Caravans for Sale, always ask where the caravan is placed, where exactly is the location of the campsite or the static caravan park that hold this used caravans for sale.
If the caravan park is nearby, you can go there yourself and talk to the holiday park management about the conditions that will allow you to keep the used trailer there or maybe make you think about finding another static caravans park for used motor-homes. So here is a list of things to do when you arrive at the park:

Find the caravan park manager that will give you all the information you need. Do not accept taking to some camper-site middle or low level management that will leave you with no answers or answers that are not very clear to you.
Ask for a copy of the Obligations Agreement that will allow you to see what are your obligations and your rights as a caravan owner within the park and all the conditions regarding the placement of the off-road caravans.
Talk to the park manager if all the used caravans in the park comply with the local council and the park legislations. That way you may find out if the advertised caravan for sale might have some legal problems and that is the reason the owner is trying to get rid of it.
While you are at the park investigate the other caravans for sale at that location and see if there is another motor-home that might fit your needs and conditions. You might get a better deal on another second hand camper that way.
See if the camper site fees fit your yearly holiday budget. Sometimes it is cheaper to spend the holiday in the camper park cabins or check into a hotel.
While you're there take a tour around the park and see what kind of campers visit and stay at the park. See if your camping needs (like peace and quiet) fit the other inhabitants ways of camping.
Finally, but not less important than the other criteria see if the pricing for this second hand camper fits your needs. This is the time to compare pricing with the other Caravans for Sale on the market and decide on the best offer.

www.caravanholidaysuk.org.uk Caravan holidays UK - First of all forget the old fashioned perception of caravans as being cold and dingy aluminium shells with no mod cons and having to get up in the middle of the night and try and pee in a bucket without waking everyone up! This is a common misconception many of us have due to childhood memories of the bad old days of caravan holidays in the UK. Modern caravans come hooked up with water and electricity and generally are kept in a clean and tidy condition, are constructed to high levels of quality and thermal insulation so no more cold nights, caravans are fully equipped for your holidays and most have fully integrated kitchens, their own privatebathroom and TV. Caravans have truly entered an exciting and new era, in fact for budget conscious families, a caravan holiday is perhaps the best choice for a holiday in the UK!
