At Static Trader, we've spent since 2011 buying, selling, transporting and siting static caravans across the UK.

One thing we've learned over the years is simple:

The Caravan is only half the purchase. Getting it safely and successfully to its destination is just as important.

Unfortunately, not every company understands this.

Many businesses selling static caravans today have little or no real transport or siting experience. They focus on making a sale and worry about access later. By then, the customer can be left with unexpected costs, disappointment, or even a caravan that simply cannot be delivered.

That's why every caravan we sell starts with one important question:

Can we get it there?

A Real Customer Story: Freya's Stable Accommodation Project

Recently, Freya contacted us looking for a static caravan to replace an ageing unit that had served her stables for almost 29 years.

Initially, she found a beautiful 39ft x 12ft caravan that seemed perfect for the job.

Before moving forward, we asked Freya to send us a simple video of the access route.

Within minutes of watching the footage, our experienced team identified several potential issues:

• Tight country lane bends
• Limited turning areas
• Telegraph pole locations
• Restricted delivery access

The video effectively acted as an initial site survey and immediately raised concerns that a 12ft wide caravan would not successfully reach the site.

After reviewing the route, we advised Freya that:

• A 39ft x 12ft caravan would not be suitable
• A 12ft wide model would struggle with the access restrictions
• Nothing longer than approximately 28ft could realistically be delivered safely

This wasn't necessarily what Freya wanted to hear, but it was the truth.

And that's exactly why experience matters.

Finding the Right Solution

Rather than risking an expensive mistake, we spent the next two weeks sourcing an alternative caravan that matched:

• Her budget
• Her accommodation requirements
• The site's access limitations

The result?

We supplied and delivered a caravan that fitted the location perfectly, all within the same budget originally discussed.

Today, Freya has modern accommodation at her stables and complete peace of mind knowing the caravan arrived safely and legally.

Why Proper Site Surveys Matter

A professional site survey can identify issues including:

• Narrow roads
• Low trees
• Tight junctions
• Sharp bends
• Bridges
• Weight restrictions
• Telegraph poles
• Gate widths
• Turning circles

What looks accessible to the untrained eye can often become a major obstacle when transporting a static caravan that may be over 40 feet long and 12 feet wide.

A proper survey helps avoid:

• Failed deliveries
• Additional transport costs
• Damage to property
• Damage to the caravan
• Last-minute disappointment

Not Sure About Access? Here's What To Do

If you're unsure whether a static caravan can reach your property, here's the easiest way to help us assess the route.

Step 1: Record a Video

If you're a passenger in a car, start recording from the nearest main road.

• Hold your phone in landscape mode.
• Use the zoom-out feature to capture as much as possible.
• Keep the entire road and surroundings in shot.
• Don't worry about the speed of the vehicle.

Remember:

We can pause and review the footage frame by frame.

In many cases, it's the details you don't realise are important that help us the most.

Step 2: Send Your Location

Please send:

• A WhatsApp live location, or
• A What3Words location

for both:

• The start point of the video
• The finish point of the video

This allows us to accurately review the route and identify any potential concerns.

Need a Professional Site Visit?

For complete peace of mind, we're happy to carry out a physical site survey.

We charge a small fee for this service, but if you purchase a caravan from us, that fee is deducted from the final purchase price.

Many customers find the reassurance of a professional opinion invaluable before investing thousands of pounds in a static caravan.
