Hiya!

We're very interested in buying a static caravan but dont know where to start. I would've thought it was easier to find a caravan for sale on a site you like to save on moving costs??

Any advice would be greatly appreciated, many thanks

One other thing is you Dont have to pay council tax on a caravan park as they only open 11 month's of the year. It's the sites were people live for 12 month's of the year that pay council tax, if you have a tourer and choose to live in it for 12 month's you will have to pay poll tax if you stick to the law lol. Most holiday sites open march to oct so they get out of paying the dreaded tax lol.

hi have not known anyone who as sold a static and made any  money from  one only winner on a static is the owner of the site

we no from exprience

yes they are very nice at first but do you want to spend most of your weeks hols an weekends year in an out at the same place doing the same things its great at first

if you dont want to tow a tourer put one on a site for 12 months to see how you go on at the area you pick and see if you likeit after that

you can move a tourer easy but you cant a static and the site owners as you by the short and curlys

I'm sorry but if you buy a tourer and put it on a site for a year haven't you turned it into a static ??????, as i did say we had statics for years and can assure bitty that we did make a profit when we sold ours but as i said we did sell it complete with all accessories . we bought a tourer so we could do just that tour. It's down to everyones choice if you can manage with a tourer thats sited for a season then thats the way you should go, if you want more space then go for a larger van. All i'm saying is go with whatever you are comfortable with whether its towing a tourer or having a big static then it's your choice.as long as you enjoy it . we enjoy our tourer just as much as we did our static.
