Nows the time to look at SITED vans. Site fees are usually payable around now, and people decide to stay or sell and sadly some people have over stretched themselves financially buying a static and site fees. So a lot are forced to sell. The for sale is usually open to offers and again sadly some owners need to just get out so take a lot less than the asking price. As for siting an offsite purchased van, as others have said you have virtually no chance of finding a site to take it. We would all be doing it if it was simple, as off site vans are so cheap to buy.
I have been tempted myself before now, as I have seen decent looking statics go for ridiculous prices on ebay. Once when I was looking at a similar thread to this I decided to take a look on ebay, just out of curiosity, to see what they were fetching. Quite by coincidence there was one with only about 15 minutes to run, so I decided to wait and see what it went for. I couldn't believe what I was seeing, as it went for £50!!
I must admit that once I found out all the drawbacks, I went right off the idea of owning a static. It's an absolute money-pit, and the site owners have you over a barrel.
