While most families would welcome a few weekend breaks or even an extended holiday in a caravan, few would choose to live in one in their garden for four years.
According to BBC News, Joe James and his four children have done just that in the grounds of their little Anglesey cottage after circumstances meant they had to make use of the mobile home.
However, the family is set to be given a much-needed lifeline after TV show DIY SOS stepped in to help.
Being shown on December 10th, the programme sees Nick Knowles and the team build a large extension for the James family, with a timescale of just two weeks to finish the three-bedroom project.
The show also looks at how more than 1.6 million UK kids are living in unsuitable housing and how Children in Need initiatives are helping to improve the situation.
Meanwhile, a man has been jailed after leading Yorkshire police officers on an 80 mph chase while towing a stolen caravan.
