What affects the value of a static caravan?

^^ put some boards under the wheels. or by the time you next come to move it, you may find it has sunk to the axles (it would in our ground in winter)

 

I am very much hoping I sell it before winter. I had to move it across site during the winter I bought it, the wheels bogged down like you said, I had to drag it a meter at a time with the back actor on my JCB dragging the wheels through the ground not over it!!!.

If the park operator feels a static van is too old and bad for the reputation of the park it will be discounted for sale to an offsite owner. We have encountered a few dual priced vans with a 30% difference depending on a offsite or onsite sale.

 

Static caravans start to feel and smell old at about 10 years which currently equates to £10k offsite.

 

Missed this before.

 

I know a couple of people who have static caravans they rent out, and the sites seem to have a policy that vans are not allowed to stay on site after they are 10 years old. That fits with @epsilonGreedy’s comment.
