    Where Can I Move My Static Caravan in the UK?

    • Filter by region

    • Check pitch rules

    • Contact parks directly

    Can You Move a Static Caravan?

    Yes — static caravans can be moved, but only by specialist transport companies using:

    • Low-loader trucks

    • Route planning

    • Professional jacking and lifting gear

    Static caravans cannot be towed by a normal vehicle on public roads.

    Step 3 — Measure your caravan

    Hauliers require width, length, model, year, and condition.

    Step 4 — Get haulage quotes

    Prices vary widely.

    Step 5 — Prepare the caravan

    Remove decking, empty water, disconnect utilities, secure items.

    Step 6 — Transport & delivery

    Transporters load the caravan onto a low-loader.

    Step 7 — Reconnection & siting at the new park

    This is done by park engineers, not the transporter.
