caravan or mobile home
with so many people chasing work all over the country, is it worthwhile investing in a caravan or mobile home and if so which one would be better?

Re: caravan or mobile home
We already have one community that travels the length and breadth of the country seeking work, and living in caravans etc. It works for them, they always have nice trucks and stuff, so why not? Maybe a nice camper van would suit your needs, but they arent cheap.

Re: caravan or mobile home
look at it as an investment. when you've done with it you sell it on. the problem i find with temp work/contracts is finding accom. we should set up a network of arb friendly accom all over the country.

Re: caravan or mobile home
The open road, freedom. Sounds cool as. Were you thinking mazda Bongo type thing or horse box with a burner ?
My workmate lives on a canal boat but doesn't travel with it. |
