What does siting a static caravan involve?
Our highly qualified team have extensive experience in siting and transporting a range of models and multiple units across the South East of England. Twin unit installation can include watertight or full siting, with internal trim fitment (this does not include connection and commissioning or services).
Siting a static involves:
- Pitching
- Jacking
- Levelling
- Supporting the unit
- Siting to any specific warranty or insurance requirements
Pitching
Pitching a caravan means placing it on the right pitch on the chosen site, which can either be hard standing (concrete base) or grass. We will adhere to the site rules, which may include following markers in the ground and facing the caravan in a certain direction. We can advise on the best setup for your static caravan.
Jacking
Jacking raises a caravan so that it can be placed accurately and safely. It should be slow and gradual, and the unit should be continually supported at the marked support points, usually at each side of the entrance. Once a static caravan is jacked, supported adequately, and levelled, it can be set in the correct place.
Levelling
Ensuring the caravan is level is hugely important – a caravan not levelled correctly can cause problems. These can include both interior and exterior doors as well as large windows not opening and closing correctly. Getting it right when it’s being sited will save a lot of frustration and further ensure your safety.
Supporting the unit
During the process, jacks, stands, and blocks can be used under the chassis to hold the caravan steady and ensure adequate support. The base for a static caravan should also be appropriate for the model to ensure it has long-term support.
Siting to any specific warranty or insurance requirements
As we have worked with all of the leading brands of statics, we are very familiar with specific warranty terms and will always ensure these details are checked and adhered to.
What does moving a caravan involve?
Static caravans are legally notified as abnormal loads for transport purposes. This means they require a police permit from every force’s policing area the load will travel through on its route.
Here are some key parts of our service we include when arranging static caravan transport:
- Police permits for abnormal load movements.
- Bespoke built transport lorries that are suitable to securely carry the load of a static caravan
- A custom escort vehicle which is legally required as the load will have to straddle two lanes of the carriageway to be delivered. This is an essential safety measure
- Fully qualified staff with the appropriate training and insurance
Transporting a caravan is a process that involves lots of considerations and specialisations. As a caravan can be an expensive purchase, and because an owner will rarely have access to the vehicles needed to transport one, many caravanners and holiday parks use our trusted service in the South East.
How much does it cost to move a static caravan?
Static caravan transport prices vary depending on the distance travelled, the unit size, and whether there are any issues with access for collection or delivery. Our static caravan transport costs start from roughly £700+ VAT and can exceed £5000+ VAT to relocate a twin unit. Scrapping a caravan that has reached the end of its life typically costs £1700+ VAT.
At N. Doe Caravans, we always offer a fair and competitive price. We remove and transport static caravans safely and carefully with all the correct permissions in place.
Can you put a static caravan on agricultural land?
You can ask us to transport your caravan to site on your own agricultural land, but you will need to have acquired the right permissions from the Local Planning Authority. You will need to contact the authority in your local area to get an understanding of what is required. Depending on how the site is being used, you may also need to obtain a site license.
We would request that you check that the access to the agricultural land allows for transport, delivery, and removal appropriate for your caravan, taking into consideration the fully loaded transport lorries. We regularly help accommodate farm workers with static caravans across the South East and are experienced in navigating narrow country roads.
