Lease The Owned on-Site Semi-Permanent Caravan in a Caravan Park

Hi guys,

You are the owner of the on-site caravan in a caravan park (just the semi-permanent caravan). Can you lease it out to earn income on AirBnb or any other way to rent out?
Thanking u in advance.

    What did the owners/managers of the caravan park say when you asked them?

      They obviously said: Ask ozbargain and let us know what they think first.

    I highly doubt it. At least not in a legit way. These places usually give a set number of free nights then you pay a reduced rate for other stays.
    There's likely a set number of nights you can offer to others to stay in your place and most parks record your rego for entry.

  • https://www.airbnb.com.au/stays/campers probably works best if you have a trendy Caravan on your own land.

    What happens to your Caravan Insurance when you start renting it? Ask your Insurer…

    Is this the I can't afford an apartment on my centrelink but I'll get a caravan and become a slumlord?

    • Some caravans are actually very nice. Though even bad caravans cost as much as a dilapidated house to rent from what I've seen.

  • I like how this is going, sublet a room in a tent on airbnb

    • I think that's called Glamping

    Be careful, lots of caravan parks are evicting permo's… they make more $ out of overnighter/weekenders etc ….

    Know a few people on camper forum who were given 3 mths notice to remove their vans which had been there for decades and was no real way of moving them without destroying them

  • OK, I contacted some owners in diff Caravan parks and conclusion was you can't give them for lease. Hope this helps others.

    • It depends, some you can lease but the visitors have to pay additional cost per day of the stay and in the end it ends up costing them more than just book directly with other caravan parks like discovery or big 4 so why bother.
      in short, don't waste your money on those van places for pure financial purposes.
