Hello everyone,

Just received my renewal notice for caravan storage at Durham Grange CAMC site. Last years price £450. This years price £500. That is an increase of 11% which is way above the price of expected inflation. WOW! wasn't expecting that. I thought about £20 increase. The sad thing is I will probably have to pay it because with all the newbies, this year and last year, storage sites are at a premium. Talk about taking advantage!

You may not know but the two at Woodstone village, which are side by side were originally the same site run by two partners but they went their separate ways.

Didn’t know that..certainly no love lost between them now!! We were at Woodstone, which is a great storage facility but changed our caravan and couldn’t get a larger space…struggled but got one at Transtore, Middlesbrough…just been awarded CASSOA Platinum….a lot dearer but there are 2 levels depending on whether single or twin axle. You can pay every 3 months so are not tied in if you decide to leave, etc but do have to give a month’s notice. Our twin axle, 8 metre long has gone from £100 a quarter to £150 a quarter!! We are on waiting list for a CAMC at White Water.

I feel for those having to pay but I've been there, too. I always considered it as a running cost of having an LV and, in the grand scheme of LV related costs, an acceptable and very cost effective solution. Some might say it is but a spot in the ocean🤷‍♂️

Those costs are painful. I'm so glad I can store our caravan in the garage at home.

I think the route to folders has generally been campers moving from tents, whilst on the Eriba forums there is a trend that shows a growing number of owners of "normal" vans are shifting to this low profile van.

Obviously I'm biased, but the ability to store at home often even in the garage, fantastic towing stability, excellent residuals, low fuel consumption, payloads up to 400kg, good sized beds etc go a long way.

High initial purchase prices and a bathroom that is not suitable for taking a shower are a downside, but the overall package is attractive.

Pensioner from Kent, Our storage is this year £761.00 at Bearsted CMAC, I will have to cut back on a trip or two to cover this cost?
