Good news that Doris...........ta :) (Rental with dogs that is, not the freezing weather!). It's the daytime temps I'm referring to, not bothered about night time. My electric blanket can beat just about any chilly weather!

Try replacing the word campervaners with "Roma" and watch the crap hit the fan.:rofl::rofl:

Re: Wintering in a Spanish static caravan
 

I think some of the worries are unfounded
I owned motorhomes for years. Most caravans and motorhomes are very well insulated. Ive done both Scotland and Southern Ireland (west coast) in February periods in snowy wintery cold conditions, and have been really snug in the motor home. they heat up very quickly even in those temperatures and so I'm fairly sure that winter in Spain wouldnt be too much of a problem

Looks tidy but a good way from the beaches according to their map.
Any idea how far ?

They're not keen on dogs I see, I wonder how they feel about dogging ? :lol:

Any info on other decent or indecent ones closer to the beaches that might be OK for a naughty weekend ? ;)

Re: Wintering in a Spanish static caravan
 

We already own a static caravan in the Uk and no from experience that they can get cold and damp without adequate heating and double glazing. Like you say though, they can be lovely and cosy with the right facilities
Thank you for the offer of help; very kind of you :)
Thanks Mitzyboy :thumbsup: Whatever I do, the last couple of days of research have showed me that we need to go and see how things work first (do you pay IVA on the purchase price of all vans? do you pay any other costs on top of ground rent, insurance and utilities? etc etc)

Are you guys at Marial or another site? If it's not Marial, do you have a website address that you can post please?

Re: Wintering in a Spanish static caravan
 

A static caravan will possibly be better insulated than many of the houses which have been "thrown" up around Malaga.

Having a mobile home in UK, you will be familiar with the pros and cons.

Watch out for (unregulated) site charges and unscrupulous site owners.
