Long story short:
I need to beg, borrow, steal or purchase below market value a Cabin or a Caravan for 6 to 9 months.

I would also appreciate any info as to which would be better?

A tidy caravan would probably be easier to sell when no longer needed. My sister rented a cabin as an outside room, it cost her $60.00 a week.
The caravan will be a lot easier to move around as well.

Not in the dog box otherwise this thread would have been in L.O.A asking for a posse to head into the strippers.

Not this week... that I know of.
We are expecting though... too many visitors for our tiny domicile to hold.

Trouble is once that period is over we will be back to having a spare room.

You should build a man shed that you can use after guests have gone.

We allowed an old friend to put her caravan on the back lawn for a few weeks while she got her life sorted. Once she got logged onto the wireless internet that was it. Some 15 months later push had to become shove. :niceone::niceone:

Getting one home on the pack rack could be bit of an ask...lol


in a perfect world I would set some temporariy foundations, put up a 4x3 ( or whatever the size limit for coucil regs for a temporary structure) put a nice deck on it and a ranch slider facing to the northwest or west, line run power to it an use it as an entertaining area / home office when we are once again deprived of visitors. Alas and alack the budget I would be able to muster in time would not suffice.

The caravan was a rental, which my wife paid for most of the time. Another bone of contention with me. Should be some cheapish ones around this time of year. Most wont be too flash though.

Left Field for the backyard.
If you used Corrugated iron for the roof and ply it could be surprisingly different and cheap. also great for entertaining afterwards. Once the temp walls were removed.

Or you could just park an old comer van up in the backyard LOL

Looks a bit fancy for a temporary structure. A bit fancier than our house and close to the same price.
