Motorhome rental- things you should consider

Friday, November 20th, 2009

There is no doubt that motorhome rental is a fantastic way to enjoy a break of your choice, especially if you’re on a tight budget.

Hiring a motorhome is great, as there’s no need to stress over finding the perfect hotel, or planning all your travel arrangements. Mini breaks and holidays should be stress free, and motorhome rental is the perfect way to completely relax.

However, before renting a motorhome, you should bear a few things in mind in order to make your break as peaceful as possible.

Firstly you should determine how long you will be travelling for, and how much of your time will be spent in the motorhome. If you’re likely to be travelling for quite a while, and intend on spending a large proportion of your time in the motorhome itself, you should choose a vehicle that is as spacious and comfortable as possible.

Again, if you’re likely to be spending the majority of your break in the vehicle, you should choose a motorhome that is equipped with all the essential amenities you’ll need- such as a toilet, fully equipped kitchen, shower facilities and perhaps a television.

Once you’ve found the perfect vehicle and booked your motorhome rental, you’ll be free to totally unwind and travel to wherever the mood may take you.

Buy a used static caravan for your home build project

Sunday, November 15th, 2009

If you have just bought a plot of land for your home build project, you will be running through the logistics of the build with your architect and project manager. One concern for anyone who is building their own home is how to keep on top of the project costs and make sure there is no overspend.

Being on site throughout the build is one of the only ways you can oversee all your contractors and make sure they are doing everything you have asked them in the right timeframes stipulated. This is why many people are now actually choosing to project manage the self build themselves. Depending on the project, you will have to cost control hundreds of thousands of pounds, so even a 10% overspend could add up to between 30 and 40k.

If you need to be on site, one of the best ways is to either rent or buy a static caravan.   Call one of our knowledgeable sales staff now to find the solution to your project - we will be with you all the way.
