Caravan

Technically speaking, the word caravan can mean any structure designed or adapted for human habitation which is capable of being moved from one place to another (whether by being towed, or by being transported on a motor vehicle or trailer) and any motor vehicle so designed or adapted. Joal Caravans specialises in static caravans, also known as mobile homes. These must be moved using a low loader.
Legally speaking, the maximum size of a static caravan is 60 feet long by 20 feet wide, with a maximum height of 10 feet inside. These measurements do not include the draw-bar, or any easily removable extensions, but do include permanent porches or extensions. However static caravans usually range in size from 28x10ft to as large as 38x12ft. Static caravans have all the comforts of the modern home, with optimised space, multiple bedrooms, fully fitted kitchens, gas, central heating and double-glazing if required.
Static caravans can be used for many purposes. If you are involved in a renovation or self build project (building your own house), a mobile home makes a perfect temporary home. There are many advantages to living in a static caravan whilst involved in a self build project – economically, purchasing a static caravan is often cheaper than renting, and leaves you with an asset to sell on when you move into your permanent home. Living on site means that you can keep your eye on the project as it develops.
Static caravans make an ideal holiday home on your own land or in a park. They are also perfect for staff accommodation in areas such as fruit-picking industries, and make great temporary office accommodation. A mobile home could also be a good place to start if you are looking to invest in your first home.
