Does anyone know the avrage rate of a caravan on a haven or butins site? and do they rent them out for you?

Why, you thinking of buying one and renting it out?

Or have i read that Q wrong.

The prices vary depending on by the month/school holidays.

I want to buy one yeah. do butlins sort out all the rentals and you just pay them like a site rental? just want one as an investment.

A friend bought 1 a few years back, you need to make sure you pick a busy camp site.
A decent caravan sited ready is about 30K then you have to pay Yearly fees to the park, they'll then rent it out for you. But a top range Caravan will bring you in £600+ a week in high season devon way.

I know Butlins charge around £4k for the site fee/caravan insurance/rates/gas/electricity.

And then you sublet or get an agent to do so.

10K will get you a second hand oldish caravan. The rental on them will be a lot lower. still make a few bob on it, but with the high costs of site fees you want a van that's gonna get rented.
I know from last year the wife wouldn't look at anything older than a 2007 to stay in. But then she does think she's a snob

To be fair if she were a snob she wouldn't be staying in a caravan in the first place...

Can't beat a good caravan holiday it has to be said!

Only took me 8 years get her go on 1.

Couple of trips down sheringham is the only other holiday we've had in this country. I got brought up on holidays to Ryhl & Great Yarmouth. Great times.

they also have a shelf life also so to speak,once they go past it you need to update it,which is a bit of a piss take really.

haven have been trying to flog me one for a few years now ,20k for a cheapo upto like 40k plus for a tidy posh one with free ring dings etc.

they'll even arrange finance (not sure on pro player status for that

)

they "reckon" they'll let it on your behalf and that'd cover the finance!!! i'm a bit dubious as if it were that easy surely they'd just finance the vans themselves ?

the last thing i'd want is them letting one i'd bought for XX thousand out to a load of tossers for them to ruin anyway, you want some kind of vetting in place.

Im not looking for ring dings lol, and sheringham? what a horrid little place.

Family member had a flat there, only decent thing was the little ice cream parlour, and the neptunes treasure in the pub on the sea front

But typical Southern Chippy didn't do mushy peas with your fish, Processed peas what's that about??
