Dense city ownership with almost no on-site storage.
Local context
Caravan and motorhome ownership in Brighton
Brighton and Hove is one of the hardest cities in the country to keep a caravan in — permit parking, terraced streets and no driveways mean vehicles live inland, often several miles from the owner. Motorhomes fare a little better but still face height barriers and resident restrictions.
Brighton and Hove is about as hard as it gets for keeping a caravan close to home — permit parking zones, terraced streets with no driveways and low-traffic neighbourhoods mean almost nothing is stored within the city boundary. Owners typically keep vehicles several miles out towards Lewes, Shoreham or the Downs, and simply drive to collect them before a trip.
Motorhomes fare slightly better than caravans since some owners can find a permit bay or a rented space, but height barriers on multi-storey car parks and residents-only restrictions still rule out most city streets. Seafront exposure on the vehicles that are kept nearer the coast brings the same salt-air wear seen elsewhere on this stretch of coast.
Tell us where the vehicle actually sits rather than your home address; most Brighton collections happen well outside the city itself.

Collection
Getting to you in Brighton
Brighton's permit parking zones, narrow terraced streets and low-traffic neighbourhood restrictions make it one of the most difficult places on the South Coast to keep a tourer nearby. Most owners store several miles out, and it's worth confirming exactly where the vehicle sits rather than assuming it's at the home address.
Why owners sell
Why owners in Brighton decide to sell
No realistic city storage
Permit zones and narrow streets mean most Brighton owners pay to store a vehicle miles from home, which many eventually decide isn't worth it.
Rarely used due to access hassle
The distance between home and storage in Brighton puts some owners off using the vehicle as often as planned.
Moving away from the coast
Owners relocating out of the city often find it simpler to sell than to relocate storage arrangements too.
