<html><head></head><body style="zoom: 0%;"><div dir="auto">Static caravans are moved by lorry, as they're not road legal for towing, or safe above very low speeds. As I commented before, the line between static caravans, chalets, and park homes is rather uncertain. <br><br></div>
<div dir="auto">They tend to stay in the same spot for years, and that spot is rented by the year. The owners may (sub)let the unit by the week or even night. <br><br></div>
<div dir="auto">A site consisting mainly of those could be a holiday_park (tags from memory here) especially if it has a bar/swimming pool/entertainment. Caravan_park would also make sense but seems little used. <br><br></div>
<div dir="auto">A caravan_site may well have a mix of statics and touring pitches; some such sites would call themselves holiday parks. Even a campsite might have a few. <br><br></div>
<div dir="auto">Tourism=chalet is a bit of an oddity - semantically it's equivalent to building=house, for a singular, so only useful mapping within a park or site. <br><br></div>
