This has to be one of the most common mistakes of all. That three-hour journey might seem like peanuts at first during the initial honeymoon phase of ownership, but once you’ve clocked up several hundred miles on the car driving up and down the country every weekend, you might realise that you’ve made a mistake.
But don’t worry, with Haven you’ve got options. Being one of the biggest players in the static caravan market has its advantages. Over the years, we’ve built up an unrivalled portfolio of parks for our prospective owners to choose from. There are 39 dotted up and down the country, so regardless of where you’re based, a park that’s perfect for you isn’t too far away. But what is too far away?
Chris, an ownership expert at our Perran Sands Park in Cornwall, puts it perfectly.
‘‘The general advice is to aim for a park no more than two hours away from home (especially If you’re travelling with little ones). But if you’ve got your heart set on a certain location that’s far away, there are ways to compromise.”
“One of our owners in Cornwall has a four-hour drive to the park. But the family have a soft spot for the area (who can blame them?). In cases like this, the owners usually visit the park fewer times throughout the year, but for longer periods. There are always ways to make it work for you.’’
It really does depend on your personal circ*mstances and priorities. Whatever you’re thinking, we’ll be there to offer you advice every step of the way.
