Caravan homes making a comeback down under
Posted on September 30th 2008
Residents of Australia are once again turning to caravan parks in order to save money to prepare to purchase a home, it has been reported.
Once seen as a last resort for homeowners who had gone through one too many Wall Street crises, caravan parks are now far more upmarket than they used to be, the Sunday Morning Herald reports.
With caravans being sold for £27,000, it is easy to see that the versatility of caravanning is attractive to more than simply those looking for last-resort homes and that caravans offer genuine comfort whether it's for the long-term or short-term.
Tom Dixon, who rents a caravan long-term, told the Sunday Morning Herald: "The place is always full. If someone leaves, then another person moves in straight away."
Owners of caravans will already be aware of the myriad benefits of caravanning.
