Friends, can anyone advise me please. I have a 2008 Atlas Mayfair Super and the council guy popped up (literally) from behind a hedge in my paddock today to inform me that if I don't move it 22 inches forward from my paddock to my garden he is again going to issue it with a postcode and a council tax bill. No joke, he done it before and I thought I had jumped through the hoop he presented, but no.

I just phoned a crane company - because it has sunk into my soaked paddock quite a bit so I can't tow it forward 2 feet forward for fear of damage to it. They want an exact weight before they can quote me and I have no idea of how to provide them with one.

Also, I have been warmly welcomed in here in the past so if there is a site member who offers this kind of service, I would welcome any contact so that I can keep the business within the community here, as it were. I am in Earlswood, B94 5LJ

Any help or even advice re the weight of my static would be really helpful.

Here's hoping and sending out festive wishes to all

I should have been a little clearer in my description. My static is on quite soft ground, but it has only settled to about the depth of the tyre wall - around 9 or 10 inches. The reason I don't want to attempt to pull it forward though is because I have no idea of the strength the towbar figment/towing fixtures are tolerated to so do not want to risk damage when it only has to be either pulled or lifted over such a short distance. Thanks again.

Can you not jack it up onto planks and then move it, in Norfolk they lift buildings on the soft ground surrounding the broads by doing that just use plenty of jacks and up they go!

Dig out a slope in front of the sunken wheels, and put some gravel down in them or even some planks, and pull it out with a winch.

Crane will cost........LOTS!!

Thanks guys, yes I realise that there will be cost - and lots of it - involved, and I thought of the digging out solution. But, with my track record I am sure to do more harm than good so was hoping to get someone in who can raise it all in one piece and move it forward.

I'll look at it afresh in the morning and see if there's a way I can work it out with the jacks...or, maybe a combination of the digging out and the jacks...Phew!!
