What does tend to be common is that site operators buy static caravans themselves, install them on site and then rent them to tourists and/or rent them as homes and/or sell them as homes.

To me, the "mobile" in "mobile home" implies that it's mobile - a caravan that is towed behind a car from place to place. Sites may offer them as park homes, leisure lodges or other marketing bovine excrement, but that's once they're in place. The generic term is static caravan. Some of them will actually be caravans that can be, and often are, towed by a car. Some of them will be of a type that aren't really designed to be towed, just transported on a truck/lorry. As always, real life is messy. -- Paul
