Looking at it from the sites' point of view, statics are guaranteed money all year round. Static owners still have to pay their ground rent whether they are on site or not. Sites also make money out of siting and un-siting statics, and from the commission on sales, whether private or their own. If the site is full, they can't lose.
Tourers on the other hand come and go, and at times sites may be practically empty with little or no income but still need to be maintained. I can see why many may want to go down that route, but I hope not too many of them do it.
Being retired we always try to go with our tourer during term time, and for short breaks we tend to go on weekdays. This is partly because of cost issues, but also because sites tend to be much quieter then, so it helps us and hopefully helps the sites by giving them a little bit more income during the week and out of the main season.
