Busman's holiday?

It's the same principle as buying a boat. If you worry about the cost don't do it , I love ours in Penally and have made lifelong friendships down here, the stress of running a business falls away in the Pembrokeshire breeze and is priceless . It is fantastic for young families as the quality of life is safe and chilled. Even when it is pissing down and the rain hammers on the roof I love it .

intersting. the other thing i have my eye on is a canal barge thing. anyone got any tips on these?

You can buy a barge but you have to go through the river owner.

If you call 65-70mph on the motorway clogging it up then yes guilty as charged

I have a boat at Cardiff Bay Yacht Club & I find it completely different to static caravan ownership.
Just over £900 per year for a pontoon mooring & club membership, I do not have to buy or sell my boat through the marina, nor insure it through them & they can"t tell me to remove or scrap it when it is 10 or 15 years old.
Completely different experience IMO

Pop over for a pint of my home brew wine if you fancy Taunton Blue

I'll come over mate, but I don't fancy Taunton Blue.

Could be onto something there! Do caravans float?

This discussion would be better suited over at the planetswans site where they have very active sub-forums dedicated to campervanning, general pikeying and inbreeding.

Oh no you didn't

It's not a barge but a narrow boat , choice of Brecon and mon or kennet and Avon canal if you live in S Wales . Costs similar but you will get more money back on the vessel . Again you need the £5k spare and treat it as a lifestyle and not a chore
