geoffprinter has given you a very good detailed answer - and yes, there are lots of very happy static owners out there.
There are also lots of static parks, at the minute they are all very busy because of the staycation boom, but this is no excuse for failing to answer your questions.
All parks are a business, out to make a profit, but the best site operators will be willing to answer questions, put verbal promises in writing, and make their terms and conditions clear.
This applies to both large and small, and you would be right to be wary of a business that is either unable or unwilling to answer your questions, in writing.
You will be entering into a contract with the park, so you need to know what the terms of the contract will be in order to make a decision - and the responsible, reputable operators know this and are just as keen to spell out their terms to you.
There is a right park and a right van out there for you - just keep going and you will find it.

One thing to also be aware of, especially when buying an older static, is that should the park change hands the new owners can quite legally tear up any agreements you may have had with the previous owners. So you can have an agreement saying that you can keep your 12 year old static on the site indefinitely, then the park changes hands and the new owner decides he is going to have a 10 year limit. He can quite legally then give notice to all owners with vans 10 years or older, and there is little that you can do about it.
Most parks that have no age limit issue annual contracts, which means the contract has to be renewed each year - a park does not have to be sold for the park to decide the van is too old so off you go.
As far as a new owner tearing up contracts - not sure that this is the case, if the park is sold as a going concern (i.e, not gone bust) - the new owner buys the whole business, including obligations, licence terms, and existing contracts.
They will most certainly try and change contracts, or not renew them, but I think that legally the new owner cannot simply tear up an existing legal contract just because they have purchased the park.
NACO, Trading Standards or the local Citizens Advice may all be able to clarify the facts on this.
Interesting link attached - not specific to static sites, but just in general terms of existing contracts with third parties, which is what the individual van owners are.

To be honest, I'm not sure whether tearing up previous contracts is legal either, but I have heard many times that it has happened. I do think that going though a lengthy and probably very expensive legal fight with the site owner is not something I would wish to take on and possibly lose. Far too big a risk for me.
I like staying in statics, but I would rent rather than buy. Much less risky and gives me the choice of going to different areas.
