If you look in the titles above, in the caravan section is a sub section about statics and seasonals. You might find some useful info there.

If this was a specialised site owned and run by yourself that only rented out classic vans it might be a goer.
But putting it on anything else, IMHO, would be a non starter. I can't see a site owner allowing it to happen.

XVI yes?
As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.

what your asking about is called having a seasonal pitch, the issue is about its use, as these are for yourself and immediate family generally.
what you are getting confused with is the concept of a static caravan that you would see on mainly huge sites near beaches such as prestatyn in north wales or those used in great yarmouth etc etc.
there probably are such sites that you could use to rent out your touring caravan but leave on a pitch, but i doubt that many of us on here would know about those as the majority of us use as intended, i.e. touring.
i think its going to involve many hours on the phone talking to site owners in the area your hoping for to find out if they would allow/are allowed to do this sort of thing

I believe there was a company in Devon who used to buy old 'classic' Dandy campers, do them up then let them out.
They would tow the dandy to a normal touring caravan site and set it up ready for the guests to arrive. However the guests would have to do all the normal things like emptying toilet and fetching water etc.
Not sure if they are still going. Would probably need to advise site owner of the arrangement.
This presumably allowed the guests to choose a site from a list to find one most suited to them.

An interesting concept, but as far as I'm aware seasonal sites tend not to allow letting out of tourers. There are sites that will site a caravan on a pitch then remove it and store it when it is not in use, but they don't usually touch anything inside. They just site it and level it then let the owners do the rest.
