Yup. Waiting to go from Army Reserves to Active Army. Was told I had to wait 6 Months before going Active so I could be Proficient in my Job, but they had Civilians doing the Work. Was living out of a 1992 Geo Metro, doing Labor Pool Jobs, and Donating Blood Plasma.
Wow, a Geo Metro? That's doable, but still crazy.

I'll mention this purely because OP mentions caravan parks near a tourist area, two issues to consider are the fees and any living restrictions.

My family had a static caravan as a holiday home at one point but what made my parents sell it was because the fees went up astronomically and it would have required a crane to move, which wasn't worth it.

IIRC you were also only allowed to be there for so long/certain times of the year.

Basically, do your homework before you consider this as a practical fallback plan for day to day living.

That sounds like a solid backup plan! I haven't personally tried it, but I've heard of folks doing similar stuff. It's a mix of choice and necessity for many, I guess. One unexpected challenge could be the loneliness, especially if you're on the move a lot. As for recommending it, it really depends on your lifestyle and preferences. Just make sure you're prepared for the ups and downs, you know? Good luck, dude!

    I hate ordering stuff online if I can go buy it somewhere close to me, and everywhere anymore will give you a discount only if you order it online, bs. Should be a discount if I go pick it up, not order online.

    Makes it easy for incompetent restaurant staff that don't know how to hear an order
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Mostly for big purchases, I want it in my hands before I pay. Like a tv, I trust picking it up myself, before I'd trust it being sent thru mail/delivery. (Broken screen, etc) But yea if I can order online, then pickup at store is ok, but not all places offer that.

    Thing is, if you break it driving back to your house, it's your fault. But if the delivery driver damages it, it's not your fault.

    Most people that haul big tvs have empty trucks or know enough not to set it face down
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Then I gotta send it back and wait another week or two. I have a pickup truck, with a extended cab, so no prob for me.
