We bought a static caravan 2 months ago. Due to the pitch flooding we asked the owners to move us to another pitch. He has charged us £1,000, does this sound a bit excessive?
Thanks for any advice.

One thing to note, whilst vans are supposedly mobile, they are in the loosest sense - once one has been sat a while it can be a tough job to move it without damage, so give it a good check when you see it next.
Moving a static isn't the easiest thing. Depending where it is on the park, where it's going and what's on the other pitch it can take 4-6 men a good few hours, then they will need to get it levelled, connected and safety tested etc
The company I used to work for wouldn't let you move pitch, but when we did initially sell a caravan we did have to allocate £1k for siting of the caravan from the sale price so does sound in the right kind of range.
Yes, it does include "plumbing, electrical hookups, levelling etc".
