Sandhills 230 has been named in loving memory of Patrick Robbins; my best friend's brother and close family friend. Pat had spina bifida and he died on 28th June 2014. He was awesome and fit more into his life than most. He loved caravans and he loved Skegness. He also loved sandwiches.

I bought the van to help my friend with her loss. When we stayed in it for the first time, we felt like Pat was there in spirit with us and the name 'Pat's Van' has just stuck ever since. Every time we stay, we remember Pat and it makes us feel happy.

About the van...
The caravan is a modern 2019 Kensington Regal, 3 bedroom, 8 berth static caravan 39 ft x 13 ft with a gated veranda. It is a central living room style, ie. has a double bedroom with en-suite bathroom with a toilet, basin and large shower at one end of the caravan, 2 further twin bedrooms at the opposite end, each with 2 single beds. There is a separate shower room and separate toilet with basin next to the twin bedrooms.
In the centre of the caravan is the living room with fully kitted out kitchen which has 2 x bar stools/breakfast area plus a separate dining area. The living room has a large modern sofa with footstool and coffee table. The living room sofa pulls out into a double bed. The kitchen has a gas cooker with oven and grill and 4 gas rings. There is a filter coffee machine (filter paper size 100) and a small cafetiere for fresh coffee. There is a large fitted fridge freezer and a dishwasher (both full sized). In the living room, there is a large flat screen TV with FreeView and there is a small flat screen TV with DVD player in the main double bedroom.
The caravan is fully centrally heated with completely new central heating (boiler and radiators) and smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
It is fully kitted out with everything you need from crockery, cutlery, cleaning materials, iron and ironing board, duvets and pillows. All you need is to bring is all of your own linen (duvet covers, pillow covers, sheets and towels, including tea towels).
This caravan is quite unique compared to your typical holiday park static caravan both in style (being very homely and also having the main bedroom at the other end of the van away from the other bedrooms for maximum privacy) and where it is situated, as it is quite private due to a hedged grassed area next to the caravan.
