Is there a difference between a static caravan and a touring caravan?
A touring caravan is a trailer type home that serves as a towable camper, mainly used for road trips and camping. A static caravan is meant to be moved only once to a semi-permanent location, such as a holiday or caravan park or to a private lot. They are meant to stay for an extended period of time at these locations.
Static caravans for sale will typically have central air, fully-equipped kitchens and bathrooms and good insulation. While these caravans have features and amenities like a permanent home, they are not meant to be lived in permanently, but rather to be used as holiday homes.
The difference between a static caravan and mobile or park home
A park or mobile home is a permanent dwelling that is capable of being transported in one whole piece or two sections. Park homes are usually manufactured on one site and then transported to another site.

Static caravans are built to EN1647, which is a lower standard of build. These caravans are meant to be primarily used for short-term stays and are usually placed in holiday parks.
