Dependant upon the age of the van, there should be a certificate of conformity. This basically states that at the time of manufacture the van complied with the legislation prevailing at the time. There should be a chassis plate somewhere on the van too, this should match the coc, also it will confirm the year of manufacture.
If you are sub letting, you will need a safety certificate for the Gas, which needs to have been done by a registered engineer, It should also give you peace of mind.
Surprisingly, there seems a lot less paperwork involved with Static vans than vehicles or tourers.

If you know anyone that has purchased on a holiday site and been there a while...they will be able to point out the pitfalls.
A good deal is a state of mind, just dont get too giddy it can be a very expensive mistake.
for the record I am in the industry, but deal fairly and transparent ...keeps customers and gives recommendations

Thanks. Found a site but they are tied to one dealer who we think are a bit expensive. Want a site near Bridlington open all year or 11 months but not too high site fees.

Also one other thing there should be with a gas certificate is an electrical safety certificate. As when the caravan is put on its plot they need to do an electrical safety test. Also when you talked about renting it out it will need to be gas tested yearly and electrical tested. And if there are any electrical items in there they should be pat tested along with the there should be a mains operated smoke alarm. And the fire extinguisher should be much bigger than the standard that you get in a caravan. Also there should be a fire blanket.
