Sell my caravan or motorhome in Blackpool
Fylde coast, with enormous numbers of pitched caravans.
Local context
Touring, storage and condition in Blackpool
Blackpool and the Fylde hold thousands of seasonally pitched caravans, many effectively used as static holiday homes for a decade or more. Exposure to wind and salt shows first in roof seals, skirting and awning rails, and damp is common enough that we buy it routinely.
The stretch of coast from Fleetwood down through Cleveleys to Lytham St Annes holds one of the largest concentrations of seasonally pitched touring caravans in the country, and a great many of them stay on the same pitch year after year rather than actually being towed anywhere. For owners who treat the pitch as a holiday home, the caravan can go months without moving, which changes the type of wear it experiences compared with a genuinely mobile tourer.
Poulton-le-Fylde and Thornton sit slightly inland and have a more even mix of touring and static use, with some owners still making trips further afield into the Lakes or across to Wales rather than staying put on the coast. St Annes and Lytham, being more affluent parts of the Fylde, tend to have a slightly higher proportion of newer or better-specified vans, though coastal exposure affects them just the same as older stock.
The prevailing wind and salt air off the Irish Sea is genuinely hard on skirting, roof seals and awning rails, and it's routine rather than unusual for a van that's sat on a Fylde park for several years to show damp somewhere, particularly around window seals and the front locker. This is well understood locally and doesn't need to be dressed up when you get in touch.
Almost all collections here come from a holiday park. We arrange access with the site and confirm whether the pitch has to be cleared.
Collection
How we reach vehicles in Blackpool
Nearly every collection in this area happens on a holiday park rather than at a private address, so site permission and agreed access hours have to be confirmed with the park office first, and some parks require the pitch to be left clear once the caravan has gone.

Why owners sell
What prompts a sale in Blackpool
A static pitch stops earning its keep
Once a caravan on the Fylde coast is barely used, some owners decide the annual pitch fee no longer makes sense.
Coastal wear reaches a tipping point
Years of salt air and wind eventually cause seal and skirting problems that some owners would rather sell past than repair.
A park closes a section or changes its terms
Site reconfigurations along this busy stretch of coast sometimes force owners to move or sell rather than relocate the van.
