What price do your caravans start from?

What price do your double glazed caravans start from?
A typical double glazed and centrally heated caravan starts from £8000 to £16000 second hand.
New mobile homes built to these specifications are available from £15000 - £30000
Do you rent your caravans?
Yes we do, although the minimum term for rental is 6 months. Delivery and pick up are also charged at the beginning of a contract, along with one
month's advanced rental. All prices exclude VAT.
Where can I buy one of your caravans on a park?
- You will need to find an area that you would like a holiday home in.
- You will then need to decide what level of facilities and amenities your ideal park will have.
- Once you have found your park it is then a question of asking the management whether or not they will allow you to bring a caravan on to their site. In most circumstances the answer will be no as most companies wish to maximise their profit by selling you one of their own caravans. In some instances parks will allow you to bring on your own caravan, a charge will normally apply in the region of £1000 - £4000 + a year's site fee.
- In the case of new caravans we supply Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk and Kent with IRM and Delta caravans. Any park without a direct account in these areas will buy these products through Joal Leisure. The price of these caravans however is dictated by the park in question.
- We will be happy to advise you of parks we recommend in the areas we cover taking into account your needs.
How much does it cost to transport your caravans?
In many instances when buying from Joal Leisure the cost of transportation is free with a caravan you have purchased. Caravans outside of our 100 mile free delivery service will be charged at cost rates thereby keeping the overall price of our services down for our customers.
Where are your caravans?
Our caravans are purchased all over the UK. Where we send you to view mobile homes will depend on where you live. We have a large selection of units to view and can nearly always guarantee finding the right mobile home for you.
Can I shop for caravans on your website?
We have found that this an increasingly popular way of buying your ideal caravan from Joal Leisure. Stock changes so frequently that it is sometimes difficult to maintain a totally up to date list of available units on our site. As a rule, however, if you see something you like on the site and it has gone, we will be able to e-mail you pictures of similar caravans within the day.
Do you offer to buy back your caravans?
Normally throughout the year we are in a position to offer a buy back facility to our customers. This takes the form of a 30% re-purchase, minus transport to and from the point of delivery and any unusual wear and tear.
I wish to purchase a caravan to live in whilst my new home is being built - do you have a facility for siting the caravan and connecting it to main services?
Most customers prefer Joal Leisure to supply and deliver the caravan only. When the customer is unable to organise siting and connection of their mobile home due to time or other constraints we are happy to offer our services. Joal Leisure charges £500 for the levelling and positioning of a mobile home. This price includes the supply of additional jack supports and other ancillary siting materials. Joal Leisure recommends that water, sewage, electricity and calor gas are then fitted by a local professional. In the instances where contractors are involved we find that they often undertake the organisation of this procedure.
Do static caravans use standard electrical currents?
Yes.
How is the water heated?
In most instances water is heated by an instantaneous calor gas water heater.
Can caravans use domestic gas?
In nearly all circumstances caravans are fitted with calor gas appliances making them unsuitable for domestic gas use.
Can I live in my non-double glazed non-centrally heated caravan in the winter?
Yes you can, and to achieve comfortable levels of heating it will just mean that you have to use a little more electricity using free standing radiators and maybe an electric blanket or two. Speaking from personal experience I have seen out many nights in comfort whilst the British weather was doing its worst.
Do you have an after sale guarantee?
Joal Leisure is pleased to be able to offer an after sales guarantee. Once a caravan has been delivered and an unreasonable fault discovered outside of the regions of normal wear and tear we will be happy to put this matter right. For the purposes of this after sales service we require that any fault is reported to us within 48hrs.
Is access an issue for delivering a caravan?
Yes, the following must be considered: turning circle into drive, low tree overhangs, low telephone cables, narrow entrance points. These issues can be generally overcome with a little thought, planning and sometimes a crane. If a crane is involved expect to pay £600 - £1000.
Do the caravans come with a gas test certificate?
No, because once a caravan is transported any gas certificates they had are invalidated.
Do I need to gas test my caravan?
Absolutely, most corgi registered gas fitters will charge approximately £30 - £50 for this service.
