Newbie needs advice on parking tourer for 6 months

[George_374417222]

Hi all, We had a static caravan for 2 years and really liked the experience, we bought for £29,000 but got only £14,000 when we had to sell due to prolonged and serious ill health.....a big loss!!!

Thankfully I'm better now and am thinking about buying a nice 4 berth tourer for around the £12,000 (probably a bailey 560GT). I don't see myself moving from site to site very often and was wondering is it normal or even possible if you see a good caravan park to negotiate a deal where I could park the van for the whole (6 months?) season and us it as I need, say 2-3 weeks and 10ish weekends.

Any ideas on approximate costs, I realise each site has different rates so just after a idea to begin my pondering.....many thanks in advance for any help offered.....George

The site should tell you what exactly is included in the price, as you may also wish to use an awning. I would think that the average seasonal price for a pitch is around
