Arranging a static caravan move sounds easy enough. Ask, ‘can I relocate my static caravan?’ though and suddenly people feel a bit more daunted. Read on. Widen your horizons.
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, as they say, where you are. 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. First off, there is the legal position. When you buy a static caravan, you own it. You’ll probably want to locate it on a holiday park; when you do that you don’t own the land your caravan stands on. So, to be even more precise, 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. It’s possible that you’re simply not as impressed with the park, or its owner, as you were at the outset. These things happen. Or, you feel like you’d like a new pitch and there are none available on your site. Maybe, and this happens quite a lot, you want to explore a new location altogether. Perhaps you want to shift from a countryside park to a coastal spot. Or vice versa. Is it a question of facilities? You 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 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. It’s possible that the site fees being too high is 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.
