Caravans

I thought I would spend a little time explaining to people the differences between the different types of caravans as there is an innumerable amount of people that wouldnt know the difference between touring caravans and a static caravans. The long and short of it is that a touring caravan is one that is towed between a domestic car and taken to a caravan park for the weekend, whereas a static caravans is the type of caravan that will sit on its plot for the majority of its life, only moved to be taken to a new park or to be scrapped.

Static caravans are generally a lot higher specced with more of the modern conveniences that you would expect from a holiday home. Tourers are a lot more compact as space is at a premium  and as such tend to have less conveniences that you would find from a static caravan.

It is actually illegal to tow static caravans on a public road without having a support vehicle behind, even then it still needs the correct amount of flashing lights and such.

Make money from your caravan

Many people dont know this but you can actually make money fom your caravan while it is not being used by yourself. There is a great website that is allowing people to advertise their caravans to hire out for no charge. They dont charge anything for listing or anything when it is hired by a customer. All you have to do is sign up and then fill in a short form, entering in details about your caravan and maybe a few pictures. This will gain you a completely free advert.

 People will hire touring caravans and motorhomes as well as static caravans and holiday homes so it really can be a great way of earning some money from your caravan or holiday home while it is not in use. The website I am referring to is iCaravans and they offer lots of great informative resources for anyone wanting to hire out or sell their caravan, it boasts over 12000 pages viewed every day and this figure is rising all the time.

All adverts are apparently listed in relation to when they are added so the earlier a caravan is added the better, higher position in the list will mean more views for your caravan. There really has never been a better time to do this as with the credit crunch and rising prices of everyday goods more and more people are looking to holiday in England this year.
