Can I Move My Static Caravan?

As much as people love a static caravan holiday home, there is, for some, sometimes a problem. You are where you are.

It’s a static – it’s not a touring caravan. So, it is where it is, and it’s not moving. Right? Well, wrong actually.

The answer to the question ‘can I move my static caravan?’ is a very definite yes.

When you buy a static caravan, you own it. You’ll probably want to locate it in a holiday park; when you do that, you don’t own the land your caravan stands on. So the answer to the question ‘can I move my caravan to another site?’ is a most emphatic – yes.

Why Would You Want to Move a Static Caravan?

All of this, of course, begs the question – “why would you want to move a static caravan?”

The answer to that is a bit more complex:

1. You may simply not be as impressed with the park, or its owner, as you were at the outset/
2. You feel like you’d like a new pitch and there are none available on your site/
3. You want to explore a new location altogether. Perhaps you want to shift from a countryside park to a coastal spot, or vice versa.
4. Is it a question of facilities? You might want more, or maybe less.

They’re all perfectly understandable reasons for wanting to think about caravan relocation. As ever, there’s one factor that will always crop up – money.

Can You Move Your Static Caravan for Free?

The reality is that there will be some costs attached to moving your caravan.  As possible and feasible as it is, the physical moving of a static caravan is more complicated than hitching it to your car and hauling it to your new location.

But there are other factors to take into account. The site fees being too high may be a reason you want to move anyway, so paying less at a new park will result in a saving.

Also, and how often this proves true in life, knowing how to get things done can be as important as how much they cost.

Top Tips when thinking about moving a Static Caravan

Nobody is pretending that making the move with your static caravan is not a big decision. Your holiday home is an important part of your life. You’ve invested in it financially, and there’s an emotional investment too.

You chose a place where you, your family and friends, can relax and have fun. Something we all now see as vital.

But, it doesn’t mean that you can’t make a change. If you’re thinking about it, here’s a checklist that’s worth running through as you make your plans.

1. Are you happy with the current location of your static caravan holiday home?
   If not, why not? Ask yourselves what you don’t like and what you would like.
2. Are you still using all the facilities on park?
3. Do the children or grandchildren still visit as much? Have their interests changed? What’s important for them?
4. Are you thinking about a coastal or a countryside location? Or, dream ticket, a bit of both?
5. Do you want your new location to be nearer to, or further away from, your home?
6. Have you fully checked your license agreement with your current park?
7. What are the disconnection costs?
8. What do your current rates and charges cover? Are they fair? Can you do better? Get a comparison.
9. Have you checked that the park you’re think of moving to has pitches available?
10. How do the facilities compare with your current location?
11. Have you got a timing plan?
12. Do you know what percentage of your site fees you will get back?

If that checklist sounds daunting, it’s only because there are some important issues to address in moving a static caravan. But the idea of moving to another location is exciting and perfectly possible. It’s a chance to have new experiences and do different things. See new places.
