Sunday Mirror, Jun 11, 2000 by LUCY BARNES

YOU could have a super park home AND money in the bank too...it's so easy.

Kings Park Homes in Canvey Island, Essex (01268 511555), with its own four-acre fishing lake and social club, could sell you one for pounds 45,000. If you sell your own property for pounds 95,000 that leaves pounds 50,000 profit for YOU.

Or own a caravan holiday home for as little as pounds 4,995 on a site like the award-winning Foxhunter Park, near Ramsgate, Kent (01843 821311).

Or there's Allhallows near Rochester, Kent, and Lakeland in the South Lakes, both part of the Owners Exclusive Network (0800 521178), a group of 20 family holiday parks for caravan owners.
