DragsterDriver Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Time for it to go, but I don’t really fancy selling via Facebook marketplace etc and somebody rocking up with a Ford Fiesta to tow it out 😧 Am I overlooking somewhere self builders might look for a cheap static?

Kelvin Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Facebook marketplace and Gumtree are probably your two best options. Obviously self-build sites are good places too. You just need a bit of due diligence when folk contact you about how they are going to remove it. Have you tried any of the static caravan places? If it’s in reasonable condition they might be interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 I advertised mine on gumtree, and the buyer organised a proper transport firm to come and collect it. All I had to do was get it off the stands and disconnect the services so it was ready to collect. Make sure to state buyer arranges transport. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Yup, local advert and chap offered to buy it and collect 👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 Or keep it if you have the room? That is what we did this time around. It is now in effect a massive garden building for far less money than you could ever buy any form of shed or other building that size for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragsterDriver Posted August 14, 2022 Author Share Posted August 14, 2022 I guess I can be brave and try a clear advert stating professional collection but jeez- I’ve had some horrors selling stuff online. maybe I attract them 🤷🏽♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andehh Posted August 25, 2022 Share Posted August 25, 2022 Reminds me of offering a dozen thick paving slabs via facebook market place, insisting buyer collects - easy way of getting shot in urgent fashion. What I failed to clarify was 'buyer to load'...... I was not a happy bunny as the walrus of a women watched me load. Fool me for being too nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saveasteading Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 At some stage caravans become worth less than the transport. They re just a box on a chassis so can usually be cut into slabs so that you are not paying to dispose of air. There is possibly some reusable plywood and polystyrene in there....but you probably don't need that now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamyTea Posted August 28, 2022 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Make some solar thermal panels from it. Has everything you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but once it’s moving it’s just a caravan . Edited August 28, 2022 by pocster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if all the kinetic energy had been taken out because it was 0 K inside. (Quantum effects will still be there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trick, (same with an old car) is to sell it BEFORE it reaches that point of effectively being worthless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnb Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) Hire a digger. Peel the caravan with the digger. Video your efforts - it works for Top Gear. Weigh in the scrap aluminium. Burn the useless timber. This is my plan for the site caravan. Except that I have a digger already. Edited August 31, 2022 by dnb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
