What to look for when buying a caravan

At Searivers Leisure we understand that buying a caravan can sometimes be a confusing and stressful process. We realise that you will be parting with a substantial amount of money and that it is essential you get it right.

We are here to help you, to answer the many questions you undoubtedly have, to show you around our three stunning caravan parks on the beautiful Mid-Wales coast, namely: Cambrian Coast, Searivers and Riverside Caravan Parks. We adopt a no pressure, friendly and professional approach, to make purchasing your dream caravan holiday home by the sea as easy and stress free as possible.

There are five main elements which need to be met when purchasing a caravan, if you are happy with these five elements, then you’ve ‘cracked it’, leaving no reason not to go ahead with your exciting purchase. The five key elements are:
 
1. The Area.
You must like the area, in our case Ynyslas, Borth, Aberystwyth. It is essential that this wider area has all the things that you and your family desire. Things like: glorious, golden sandy beaches, fantastic walks, wide open spaces, low crime rates, restaurants and quaint little pubs, shopping nearby, surfing and all manner of outdoor pursuits. Most people who do come to view our parks with a view to purchase a caravan, are often very familiar with the area, but if you’re not, then we can tell you all about it, perhaps walk you our stunning beach at Ynyslas.
 
2. The Caravan Park.
This is the most important factor in buying a caravan. If you think about it logically, no matter if you find a fantastic caravan at a brilliant price, if you are not keen on the caravan park, then you will not enjoy your caravan, you will not use it and you will have wasted your money. So, it is essential that you are one hundred percent sure that you like the park. We have three to choose from. We have Riverside Caravan Park, the pretty and tranquil one. We have Cambrian Coast Caravan Park, the one with the swimming pool and the lounge/bar and Searivers Caravan Park, the one right by the beach. All three of them enjoy a safe and pleasant environment in which to make your family’s dreams come true, amazing places to create amazing memories.
 
3. The Running Costs
During your visit, we will explain to you what annual costs are involved in owning your own caravan holiday home with Searivers Leisure. We want you to understand exactly what is involved in financial terms in taking on the responsibility of owning a caravan, after all you wouldn’t want any unpleasant surprises in the shape of hidden costs. We pride ourselves on being totally transparent and want you to be completely comfortable in terms of affordability.
 
4. The Caravan.
It’s getting exciting now. Before we show you our extensive range of new and pre-owned caravans, we will ask you what criteria you have, for example, would you like a three or two bed caravan? Do you need central heating and double glazing? We will also ask you what your approximate budget is. The reason we ask you these questions, is so that we may show you the relevant caravans. Once we have found you your perfect caravan, its time to look for the perfect plot on which to site it.
 
5. The Plot.
The final stage. As mentioned earlier, we at Searivers Leisure Ltd want you to be absolutely certain in all five key stages of buying a caravan. So, we will allow you to choose, from what we have available, the perfect plot on which your caravan will be sited. What we normally do, is go out together and look at the various plots, I will explain which way it will face, which side the doors will be on, what the neighbours are like, where you can park your car, and anything else which you might like to know.
 
So, we’ve been through the five elements which are important when purchasing a caravan. You love the area. Cambrian Coast Caravan Park is the one for you and your family, the kids are very excited about the heated indoor pool. You understand what costs are involved, and you are confident that they are affordable. You are delighted with the caravan you chose, we got there in the endJ. And you’re very happy with the plot. There doesn’t seem to be any reason then, why you wouldn’t want to go ahead with the purchase of your very own caravan holiday home with Searivers Leisure Ltd. All that remains to be done right now is to leave a deposit, so that we may reserve the caravan and plot for you, sign a document which lists all the things that we have agreed at the point of sale, go home and sort out the balance. If you require finance, then we can take care of that for you, subject to status obviously. Congratulations! You are soon to be one of our many happy caravan owners. ENJOY!
