The summer holiday period is one of the best times of the year to own a static caravan. This can be the gateway to endless summer adventures, whether you have a large family, or will be enjoying some solo travel. But how can you be sure to make the most out of your static caravan in the summer holidays? And what should you consider?
What are the different ways to make the most out of your static caravan in summer holidays?
There are a number of different ways to ensure that you make the most out of your static caravan this summer. The two main ways include:
- Enjoying a holiday
- Renting out your static caravan
Enjoying a static caravan holiday this summer
As a static caravan owner you will have the flexibility to take a holiday whenever you like over the summer holidays. As part of this you can:
- Embrace the outdoors- Static caravans are a great way to experience the outdoors in the summer. These provide a comforting, home-like base from which you can explore the surrounding areas, be they charming market towns, stunning coastal beaches or rolling countryside. Depending on where your caravan is sited, you can play a range of outdoor activities to help you fully enjoy the season. From something simple like barbeques and picnics, to more adventurous water sports and hikes. This can often be a great way to make your summer memorable, as an individual, couple, or as a family. .
- Create a comfortable space- As a static caravan owner, you can transform your space into a relaxing retreat. From small touches like soft lighting and soft furnishings, to larger furniture choices, there are a number of steps you can take to make your static caravan feel more like home, and make a big difference to your summer holidays.
- Plan local excursions- Depending on where you have your caravan sited, on private ground or a caravan or holiday park, you will likely have a host of local excursions you can enjoy. From historical buildings and castles, to national parks and even cities or amusement parks, a static caravan away from your home area can allow you to access a wide range of activities that wouldn’t otherwise be on offer. For family holidays, this can be a great way to make memories that will be cherished forever.
Renting out your static caravan
As well as enjoying your summer with your static caravan, you can also consider renting this out when you’re not using it. This can be an effective way to offset the maintenance costs for your static caravan, and make some extra money when you are not using it. To make the most out of your static caravan in the summer holidays, by renting this out, you should consider:
- Preparing your caravan for rentals- It’s essential to make sure that your static caravan is in top condition before renting it out. This means carrying out any necessary maintenance, cleaning thoroughly, and making sure all amenities are functioning properly.
- Set competitive rates- Make sure you rent your caravan out for a competitive rate that is appropriate for the siting and area. You can take a look at similar rentals in the area or on the site to make sure that your prices are appropriate and transparent.
- Offer extras- You can make your static caravan rental stand out by providing little extras like welcome packs, guides for the local area and attractions or even barbeque or beach equipment. This can even help secure future and return bookings from satisfied guests.
