More spacious than a caravan, the surface area of this type of light leisure dwelling must not exceed 40 m². When you become the owner of a mobile home in a residential campsite open all year round, a plot is sold to you so that you can park it safely.
This plot allows connection to the various infrastructures: water, electricity, gas.
What’s more, buying a mobile home in a residential campsite that’s open almost all year round offers a high level of living comfort. Ideal for nature lovers and picnickers, this mobile home offers an authentic way of life, with all the facilities needed for comfort: fully equipped kitchen, living room, bedroom, shower room and WC.
