Estimating the lifespan of your static caravan

When looking at the longevity of your static caravan, there’s two things to consider. How long you can park it physically on your holiday park, and how long you can keep it on your pitch. Holiday homeowners upgrade their holiday homes for another main reason: to keep up with fashion and technology. Holiday home interiors and features become outdated quickly. In the right hands, a static caravan can last several decades. Almost every part can be replaced or renewed. There are some people that have caravans older than 30 years. Although, many opt for a more modern interior, updated features and a larger model.

So, what is the lifespan of my static caravan?

As mentioned above, some caravans can last decades, especially if they are cared for properly. When buying your static caravan, it’s a good idea to plan out any sort of refurbishments that’ll need doing. Both to the exterior and interior. This will help you estimate how much to spend repairs. This can be vital for protecting your holiday home from ageing. It will also add to your caravan’s longevity.

How long can I keep a static caravan in a park?

When you visit parks to view a caravan, be sure to ask how long you can keep your caravan in the park. At this point, it’s also probably a good idea to get an idea of maintenance costs too! You can keep your caravan in a park for a certain number of years if it’s in good condition. This is why it is important to upkeep repairs and look after your home from day 1.

You can choose to renew your license or find a new park if you have decided you do not want to stay in the existing park any longer.

5 Top tips for making sure your caravan lasts

Finally, we’ve gathered together 5 tips to help you ensure that your caravan lasts the years (and the family holidays too!) below: Have proper water maintenance in place – a caravan’s prime enemy is water when it gets into the wrong places! Maintain flooring – flooring is the one area of a caravan that can deteriorate quickly and it’s prone to water damage too. Keep an eye on any degradation and attend to it as soon as you can. Look after the roof – again, the roof of a caravan is more prone to damage due to weather and much more. Over time, caravan roofs can deteriorate and allow water into your home. Keep your gutters as clean as possible – regular cleaning of gutters will prevent water pooling and your roof from rotting. Install a skirt to your chassis – Caravan chassis’ can corrode easily, especially if your holiday park is located on the coast. A skirt will help to protect this from happening and can consequently increase the longevity of your static home.
