- The type of static caravan: Holiday Caravan, SuperWarm Caravan, Residential Specification Caravan
- Caravan prices and additional costs; including gas supply and electric service charges.
- The make and model of the caravan
- What is a lodge?
- Is there an age limit on static caravans?
The different ways to fund a static caravan
When it comes to funding a static caravan there are four routes to ownership:
