My static caravan vacation home was flooded and distroyed in recent july floodings next to the english river severn, and this isnt the first time, i lost another in the easter floodings some years ago next to the river avon, i like to be in the countryside and the views of a river and would like to buy another mobile home and position it on the same site but are well aware that if a flood in july has distroyed my well loved vacation home then it is likely that it will happen again if i dont take some drastic action. the caravan had been raised by approx 4.5 foot already so one idea is to raise it even higher, but i worry for the stability in the winds, another idea is to use a caravan floatation systems, does anybody have any experience of these, where the caravan rises up to 10 foot on a base of float?

Yes, i have the same problem on the river avon, after some research i have found a company which bloke ufactures floatation systems for all size caravans. here is the link.....http://www.marcheindustries.net/flotation_piston.htm it retails at around £3000 and it now allows you to position your caravan at a lower level instead of stilts. hope this helps
