This is a cross post as I posted it on the static caravan board as I couldn't find a relevant forum about owning tow caravans apart from specifics (towing, repairs etc).

Does anyone own a caravan to rent out? My parents used to have a static but we were thinking more of a tow caravan but on a seasonal plot so we can rent it out? Is that even allowed? We would consider a static if a tow caravan isn't allowed to be rented out but we wanted something that was a bit more flexible (ie we could use it several times a year at the seasonal pitch or elsewhere but also rent it out at the seasonal pitch when we weren't using it).

Does anyone else do this and is it the done thing?

Thanks!

I would never let anyone else have the free run of borrowing my caravan, after a bad experiance when we let a work collegue of my Dads borrow our first caravan many years ago.

 It was brand new at the time, and in perfect condition, imagine our shock when we got it back with a cigarette burn in the upholstry, and stinking of cat pee when they decided at the last min that puss was going on hoilday too, having been let down by a neighbour who was due to feed it whilst they were away.

Hubby wont even let our grown up daughters borrow it unless we go with them to keep an eye on how its being treated, but TBH i dont blame him, we have a couple of them with partners who are quite clumsy and accident prone, and one that thinks he can always take things to bits and put them back better than the day they were made, except he certainly cant!
