Hi all, I do understand about the difference between holiday parks and resi parks, but I've looked everywhere and can't find an answer to my question.
If we bought a holiday home/static/lodge on a holiday park, what is the longest you can stay there without breaching the regulations, and how long do you have to be away before you can return?
If it was, say 60 days, would you be allowed to stay there 60 days, go home for a week and then go back for another 60 days?
Just to stress, we wouldn't be living there permanently - we have a bricks and mortar home and an 18yo son, but my wife doesn't work, and I work from home so I can really work anywhere. Seems daft spending our time somewhere we don't really like (where our house is) when we could spend the majority of the time somewhere we do like!
Thanks all :)

That's really helpful - thank you both for your comments.
I guess the obvious process would be 1) decide where we'd like to be located in the country, 2) narrow donw the sites we'd like to stay on and then 3) speak to them to see what their individual rules are.
Would defo buy a new static, had a bad experience with a 2nd hand tourer, so not blowing even more money on a static!
Many thanks again
I would also suggest, when you have found a site you are interested in, talk to other van owners on site. This can give you an idea both of what the site management is like, and what your potential "neighbours" are like. The atmosphere of a park will vary quite a lot depending on how it is used - one that used for many short term breaks, or that allows vans to be rented out, will have a different feel to one with mainly long-term stayers.
Whatever happens, the most important thing is to read and understand the contract before committing yourself.
Good luck, and enjoy the search.
