Some business 😮

😊👍

you have to look what the site offer because that's what your paying for. the show bar, the swimming pool if you don't use then you still pay. how many months the site is open. but then you need to look at really how often you will use it. and don't say I will come up every week end it is not likely how far away from home. if its close then why do you want it you can easy drive to were you can go from home. if you can find the price to just hire and stay for the dates you are planning to use and it is less than Site fees, electricity and gas, insurance and servicing cost then why bother.

Entrance and kitchen ok , light and clean not too dated looking living room looks more dated than some of the 2008/9 models from other makers. Sofa really awful . Most importantly the electrics box in the kids room is a huge no no , how did they let that one get through the new design plans. Well spotted ! 👋

People really need to hear this

Anyone who pays £90k for a rapidly depreciating tin box on someone else's land with no legal rights needs their head testing! I own a van on a private site, I would NEVER pay more than £30k and include its depreciation in the cost of ownership over a long period such at 15+ years.

You have no idea how these sites work. Those pitches are on sale because they're the worst of them all, cramped, no space inbetween, poor site position, and are failing to sell. Also, deals are often limited to a pre fixed number of years, typically 3, then revert to higher 'standard' prices. Go video the pitches for us to see. Clearly working for the park sales team 😂. Clearly cant be trusted to provide authentic unbiased reviews.

Goes up on inflation, our site fee with pd is 9k currently offering 5495 on new sales won’t let me keep my pitch and can’t offer me another with space for our current decking, told me they’ll move me if I’m happy to cut my decking. Lost 90k in 3 years people should research and do plenty of research before buy the nightmare. I mean dream 😂

Let's go

Calor Gas and Shell have stopped selling LPG gas for cars.LPG is a green gas environmental better than Diesel &Petrol there is only one place selling it in a 20 mile radius,bang out of order after the expense of converting my car.Thats what I get for going GREEN don’t mention HEAT PUMPS horrendously expensive.

Having dealt with Calor as a business customer, i have personal experience of being charged more per bottle on an order of 15x47kg bottles than our neighbour who had a single 47kg delivered to his home in the same week. Calor refused to even match the price, let alone beat it, so i would not be at all surprised if Parkdean is being charged more than the average private customer

Because you’re still buying it

You know the word Bol locks no company would absorb prices. they are Parkdean. I knew a person who used 6 bottles a year... If you believe that then Labour are Not damaging the country They charged FULL site fees during Lockdown.

We can buy our bottles off site at Ocean edge and it's £75 a bottle luckily

I am going to call it for what it is, I holiday at a park deans and I own a van at Butlins. The beer is too expensive at Park Deans. Example... Doom Bar = £6.09 !!!! It is only £5.20 at Butlins. Someone at head office at Park Deans needs the sack for putting these price up and forgetting what they are selling The club should be heaving at the seems, customers should be merry singing and dancing before stumbling back to their vans happy. That is what they are selling. That is a person expects when they book a UK caravan park. Instead they seem to want to sell basic food in a nice setting, which is not what a family of 4 from the midlands books a caravan holiday for. They need to get back to basics as they will suffer. Butlins has been heaving all year in all the clubs.

Butlins site fee increase is 2.6% next year by the way. Any news on Park Deans?

We made the decision early on not to have a caravan on a site owned by one of the large National companies and site it on a family owned site. Now I’m sure this is not black and white but most of the complaints I see are from people on large National sites. To be fair you can often get a better deal when you first purchase new or used on one of these sites but my goodness you pay for it down the line.

Pantsdowndean will never change.

I am def sure it can not be worth that much money. £17.995 it can not be worth it. even with he decking. the seating would be over a £1,000 to redo so very expensive. you can not really keep a static warm over winter gas bottles are expensive. I am not sure if even worth £10K does it include the Yr site fees. autotrader have yr close statics is nearer my price value. what they have done to make it look good is new flooring. so it hides the foot dirt from hiring out. And on the park what are the age restriction. and the site fees etc. you can for £18K get a newer caravan on a number of sites.

18k for probably 4 years left, then the land owners will offer you a grand if lucky. On top of that, a few thousands in site fees per year; plus other bills. Rather spend the £18k plus £4k site fees x 4 over the 4 years of having many amazing holidays. Imagine all the amazing holidays you could have for 34k. Cruises; luxury Caribbean islands; traveling around europe; taking kids Disney land; that dream holiday destination you always wanted to go; or even purchasing a decent campervan or motorhome and travelling all of UK and europe, which you still would have well over 4/5 years. Imagine having to spend all your holidays sat in the same old depressing metal box; on the same depressing camp site with all its dreadful rules and regulations sat on a plot the size of a postage stamp; with awful UK cold; damp; depressing weather. No thanks.

Why would anyone want to live in one of these monstrosities.

Just my opinion folks... I reckon you are spot on with visual cooker operation instructions evident - the van is an ex rental. Owner/ site made lots of money in the 16 years from new. Another giveaway is new carpets and flooring and Boiler. Agree its nice now these have been done but with visual look of furniture its a base model not Premium model. So with age of van only 5-6 years left on licence and overall contents id offer £12500 max on the table paid in full to the seller. The decking looks only a side access i metre type to door opening not even a decent size for table and chairs or sun loungers.

Interesting how the costs and rules are different super inflated costs in uk compared to spain. Abroad is more aa attractive alternative folks!!

For me, no. I think people will balk at the price compared with how long is left. But these old decent vans with 4 years left do have a place. If you are a family of three households for instance. Mom and Dan, a son and his wife with two kids, and a daughter and her fella and their kid. Because it is only a four year commitment, and pretty cheap split 3 ways. I think if someone asked me to fork out 5 or 6k, for a third share in a van, and split the costs 3 ways, with only a 4 year commitment, I would be interested. Especially if I had to holiday during school holidays as it would work out cheaper.

I know people that live in worse houses or Apartments. It is not bad for the money.

Its not what you buy it where you buy it a bottle of water is 50p in a shop same bottle of water at the airport would be £4

I love your all your videos .. I've read so many bad reviews about buying a static caravan .. it made me very worried .. I went to white acres in Cornwall ,I just had that happy feeling about the place .. I knew by your videos it's not an investment but more like a family thing .. So now I am a proud owner of a swift Bordeaux 2020

I had a caravan on one of the biggest holiday company, when I wanted to sell it was it's a box it's worthless what are you going to do with it, it's quite a prestigious site. Caravan in is the biggest rip-off to man . He told me most people stay on a site for 3 to 4 years. At Skegness I was looking at a dealer that had a Willoughby Vogue lodge for 77000 which I have seen up for sale in a site down south£124.000

Here we go

Looks comfy and cozy!!

😊😊😊

So after been sat for several months this lodge has ben sold!..... question would you like a Lodge? or do you prefer a caravan?

We had a static we lost a fortune but buy a campervan and your 80,000 is worth more in 3 years or at the worst lose a couple of grand 😊

well reviewed,i also found the van excellent,( the step dad ) & better than most of the other reviewed vans previously , great unbiased review

Caravan Time 😊😊😊

When we had our van last year before we sold it last December in April last year the site tried to get us to buy a new van ours was 12 years old, they offered us a good trade in price, they showed us pictures of the new van they wanted us to buy, it looked pretty basic they wanted £64000 for this new van , but I went on line and found the exact van they tried to sell us on another site and guess what they wanted £36000 . Talk about trying to rip you off.

Would you like to see more videos like this? Travelling to other parks?

Simple fact is that you should only ever spend your hard earned money to buy a caravan if you plan to keep it for 20+ years and want to have somewhere to make memories and enjoy life. If it’s ever about MONEY then never buy a caravan. Simple as that

We sold our 39x12 static last December it was 12 years old in excellent condition with central heating, and double glazing, the site gave us £2500. It's a rip off the site owners are only your friends when your buying, when your selling there your worst enemy. It surely has to have resale value just like second-hand cars they have a guide line price. Yes it's a holiday home with memories but those memories get tarnished when some joker offers you say £10000 for your lovely van, only to find they have resold it for £29000. People on the site we were on spent £20000 on decking with the site owners, talk about having money to burn.

Glad you are so happy with the new holiday home. Hope you make lots of happy memories.

You have a lovely van, and the little touches you have done look really great, really enjoying these videos, keep up the good work.👍

Great videos, we love watching, didn't realise you were on Sunnydale. We've been lots of times.

Love your gran❤

It’s a really nice model

Can I be cheeky and ask you where you are and how much your new van cost 👍

Are these lodges categorised as static caravans/mobile homes? I E if I were to site it in the rear garden of a relatives house for use as a granny annexe would it need planning permission? Good review TY although it would have been better minus the swearing. 😮🙂. Thanks
