The best place to ask would be your Local Housing Authority to ensure that you can get them before you move. If you are on your own though and the caravan has more than one bedroom you will not get it all and some may be taken off also due to the cap in place.

You could end up in a sticky situation with the site, as the caravan yes the site is open for 11 months, but they are only sold on as holiday home, not a place of residence, which would happen if you moved in.

Hi Ricardo, I think you were given the answers to this on your last thread https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3316728.

Answers stay the same whoever owns the caravan.
