Static caravan owners right across the country can attest to the many joys of owning a second home or holiday home in some of the most beautiful locations in the UK at a reasonable price. One of the main reasons that static caravans are more affordable than brick-and-mortar residences, is that however well made, static caravans become subject to wear and tear and begin to depreciate in value, whereas brick and mortar residences that are well maintained, tend to retain or actually increase in value; this means that static caravan owners are likely to consider an upgrade at some point.
Newer models of static caravans are better constructed using the latest engineering techniques and technology and the best materials to offer superior insulation, aesthetics and everything else.
For some owners though, the question of when to upgrade and why are important considerations. There are usually several clear reasons that prompt owners to begin shopping for an upgraded model.
Tired and dated features, especially the design of the interior including fittings and fixtures, often play an important role when it comes to upgrades. Static caravans are built with integrated features; therefore, many owners find that it is more cost effective and generally easier to upgrade the whole static caravan rather than its individual features.
Newer static caravans utilise the latest in technology and are generally more economical to run. Insulation is of a much higher standard, helping to better retain heat during cool weather periods and to keep the interior cool during hot spells. Features such as double glazing are standard and interior fixtures such as the fridge or the microwave will also be newer and more efficient to run.
Lack of space is a commonly cited reason for an upgrade, especially so for growing families with young children and pets such as a family dog. Newer, modern static caravans are designed to optimise use of space with open plan living that is more fit for purpose.
Over time and with prolonged use, static caravans become subject to wear and tear – making the overall structure much weaker, this puts a greater strain on the joints and makes leaks and issues with damp more likely.
Not only are newer static caravans more pleasing to the eye and cheaper to run, they are also more comfortable to spend time in. The brand-new modern interior offers many desirable features as standard.
For some owners it may be the location rather than the caravan itself that prompts an upgrade, and they may find it easier to start afresh rather than relocate their existing static caravan. Sometimes the issue is purely the geographical location, or it may be the park itself and the facilities it has to offer.
Depending on the rules there may be an age limit set on the static caravans by the park management. This is typically around 20 years – when this limit is reached the owners will be obliged to remove the caravan, either relocating to another park or upgrading to another model.
