The Beginning (1920s):
In the 1920’s Britain saw the rise of the touring caravan, designed to be towed along by the motor car. This was brilliant as it meant holidays around the country were now more accessible to the average family. This innovation led to the idea of caravans being left on a particular site for longer periods of time, so people didn’t have to keep dragging this heavy, unaerodynamic trailer around with them whenever they went on holiday. 
How do you choose an area? This varies from person to person, but it is important to consider what you enjoy on a holiday, is it being near stunning coastlines or would you prefer to be surrounded by the countryside? Sometimes it is not just you going on holiday so it is important to look at the needs of family or friends. There are hundreds of holiday destinations across Devon and Cornwall so finding a location can be overwhelming but worthwhile.
Brean Country Club is an exclusive gated development of holiday homes and is renowned for its exceptional luxury lodge living experience and proudly announces an exclusive promotion tailored for those seeking the epitome of luxury living combined with urban mobility. In partnership with Howards Motor Group in Weston-Super-Mare, the park is delighted to introduce an exciting offer from March 21st, 2024, until May 31st, 2024: customers who embrace the luxurious lifestyle by purchasing a Twin Lodge at Brean Country Club Lodge will receive a complimentary Citroën Ami.
The April Show is an event held by Surf Bay Leisure between the 10th and 12th of April. This event is the caravan and lodge show, we host this event to allow people that are due an upgrade or wish to make their first purchase have a look around and ask questions in a stress-free environment.
Individuals are given the opportunity to not only look and ask about caravans but also speak to park owners. This allows buyers to make an informed choice around the lifestyle they will lead for the next 10 -15 years. 
Decking for your static caravan can be made from a few different materials but no matter the material they are all made to a high standard. The standards for decking especially around statics need to be high as these homes away from home can take a serious beating by the weather, especially on the southwestern coast.
Here at Surf Bay Leisure, we are excited to be hosting another April show and it is right around the corner! Head down with the family to see the latest and greatest from our three manufacturers (ABI, Swift and Atlas) and maybe find your new holiday home.
What is the lifespan of a Static Caravan?

The lifespan of a Static Caravan can vary, however, like with most things if it is looked after and properly maintained then you could expect the static caravan to reach up to 30 or more years on private land. Parks will generally ask for it to be upgraded around the 15-year mark to keep the park looking appealing and safe.
Location:
What is the ideal location? This varies from person to person, but it is important to consider what makes a holiday special to you, is it being near stunning coastlines like you might find in Tintagel or would you prefer to be surrounded by the countryside like you might find near Winkleigh. Luckily if you enjoy both these things then the Southwest has it covered. The sea and countryside are never more than a 30-minute drive away from each other.
