The Caravan Swap Shop

Seventeen plain-English guides to selling a static caravan in the UK, written by a trade buyer rather than a marketing department. Between us, directors Sean Brenkley and Chris Rose have around 45 years in the holiday-park industry, and these are the questions owners ask us most.

If you would rather skip straight to a figure, our valuation is free and comes back within 24 hours: get a free valuation.
