winter caravanning<\/a> plans and that many holiday parks already stayed open for up to 11 months.<\/p>\n![\"static](\"https:\/\/www.leisuredays.co.uk\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/Statics-in-the-snow-ask-White-Gates-Park-in-Cumbria-before-using-1-1024x768.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
David Watts said his park only closed for a month and he would probably use his static caravan more this year as he couldn’t use it in the spring and summer.<\/p>\n
David Rodger’s park is open all year and he enjoyed a spot of winter caravanning: “It only takes minutes to reconnect the water supply and drain down when leaving so it no great hassle,” he said. “It\u2019s good watching the snow falling in a nice cosy van at night.”<\/p>\n
Peter Brewerton told us he used his holiday lodge at least three nights every week and Dave Booth wants to use his caravan until the new year, if possible.<\/p>\n
Alan Snewing lets out his static caravan from March to October, so loves to use it with his family in the winter months.<\/p>\n
“It becomes so peaceful and cosy so we can all chill out!” he commented.<\/p>\n
And June and Mike Rogerson said they “feel safer spending time at our static van…rather than travel to other areas!”<\/p>\n
A few owners who have holiday caravans in Wales said they were looking forward to some winter caravanning after the Covid “firebreak”.<\/p>\n
Some owners, like Brian Johnstone, can’t take advantage of winter caravanning as their park closes from November to March.<\/p>\n
“But living out in the countryside with three acres, five rescue dogs and no travel restrictions locally and with beaches a half-hour drive, the Covid virus really has not affected us very much,” he commented.<\/p>\n
And for some, their caravan is not in the best winter location and a long way from home.<\/p>\n
Ted Roylance from Somerset told us he would close his caravan down at the usual time as his static caravan is in the north east.<\/p>\n
