Read more →The value rule
Ask one question before any accessory or upgrade: will we actually use this, and can it be priced independently? Park-sold “essential” bundles and high-margin extras are where buyers overspend — often by hundreds or thousands on a new home.
What earns its place
Practical, durable basics: security, storage, outdoor seating, a canopy or awning, and comfort upgrades like better bedding or curtains. Buy those first; add gadgets only when you know you’ll use them.
Before you pay a deposit
Before you buy a caravan or lodge — and before you pay a deposit — speak to an independent expert.
£150 spent on independent advice before you commit could save you thousands later — or stop you making the wrong purchase completely.
