This month , we want to share with you the not-so-glamorous aspects of full-time travel so you know what to expect . Most importantly , we will give you our strategies for dealing with these issues so you can continue to enjoy your journey .
HANG ON , WHAT ’ S THE PROBLEM ?
Before I go further , I should probably explain something as I expect there are more than a few of you wondering how there could be any issues with a lifetime of freedom .
Many people don ’ t realise that there is a vast difference between holidaying in a caravan for a few weeks and living in one full time . For a start , when you ’ re on holiday , you are trying to get away from all the complications of life at home so you don ’ t need to take a lot of stuff with you . But when you live full time in a caravan , you have to somehow shove your entire life into the confined spaces of your car and caravan , all without exceeding their weight limits .
Metal detecting can be a rewarding way to pass the time .
Another important difference is that the small things that may annoy you about your caravan , which may not be problematic for a few weeks a year , could see you trading in your caravan and buying a new one after a few months on the road . Okay , that may be a bit extreme but consider if the bed is uncomfortable or you don ’ t have enough storage space for all your gear . What if you ’ re stuck inside your van for three days because of the weather and the seating is uncomfortable ?
You will want to ensure you address all these issues before you head off or you could be up for some very expensive modifications at the very least .
