Essentially, you can’t control the weather across the year. However, you can take control of other considerations. Be aware that your choice of static caravans will be influenced by your plans, and of course your plans may be limited or extended depending on the choice of static caravans available to you. Byron recommends:
* If you’re buying a static caravan for accommodation during a project such as a house build or renovation, even if you expect it to be short term, factor in some long term planning too! After all, delays and weather-related pauses can have a real impact on how long you end up staying in your static, so look for features and layout that will suit you both in the short and the long term.
* Consider your options between fixed and freestanding furnishings as part of your planning. This can greatly influence what kind of static you finally choose. For instance, a static with a wide bay and expansive fixed seating below is perfect for a lovely view in the summer, but in the winter freestanding furnishings bring you the option of moving seating away from the large window, so you can cosy up.
* Have a close look at general layout too. Patio doors with decking, straight out from the carpeted lounge is a great idea and may suit you perfectly in the summer. But if it’s the main access point, would a static with a vestibule for muddy boots and wet pets be better throughout the winter? Consider the layout and your daily routines and, as you view each of your static caravan options, see if you can visualise living there – in all weathers!
