Online park home and static caravan parts shop

Owners of static caravans and park homes, holiday park owners and small maintenance contractors who want parts without a trip to a trade counter.

You buy at trade prices and sell at a mark-up, with extra margin on bundles such as winterising kits. Repeat orders from owners and parks help build steady sales.

• Organising stock and orders
• Basic product knowledge of static caravans
• Customer service by email and phone
• Simple online marketing

• Gas and electrical parts: check what you can sell and what must be fitted by a registered professional (for example Gas Safe)
• Distance selling rules on returns and refunds, so check the current consumer law guidance
• Public liability and product liability insurance for the goods you sell
• Wrong-fit returns are common with parts, so show sizes and compatibility clearly
• VAT registration once your turnover passes the threshold

Startup costs are typically around £1,000 to £6,000, depending on how much stock you hold and whether a wholesaler ships orders straight to customers. Monthly revenue is estimated at around £800 to £4,000, depending on your range and marketing.

Check what you can sell and what must be fitted by a registered professional, such as Gas Safe for gas parts. Also check distance selling rules on returns and refunds, insurance for the goods you sell, and VAT registration once turnover passes the threshold.

The estimate is at least around 8 hours a week. Useful skills include organising stock and orders, basic product knowledge of static caravans, customer service by email and phone, and simple online marketing.
