In Germany, the Netherlands and some other European countries, local law allows for normal camping at [[RV park]]s for a short time and seasonal camping for holidaymakers, and also long-time camping (for years) with hardly movable travel trailers. Sometimes these inhabitants also cultivate a [[Allotment (gardening)#United Kingdom|garden]]. Some cities allow a long-time camping lot to be the regular address registered with the authorities; others do not. Many of mobile home plots are offered by [[RV park]]s that allow for all sorts of camping and offer extra plots for mobile homes (static caravans).The cost for such a plot tends to be between €400  and €1.500  a year, depending on the location and facilities.

In France, living in a trailer or mobile home for more than three months is prohibited by law, even if the resident owns the land; however, building requirements and permissions for self building of recreational solid (static) country cottages are more relaxed in France if one stays within a certain amount of square meters.{{Citation needed|date=April 2014}}

In the United Kingdom, "trailers" are commonly known as static caravans, and are generally used for one of two purposes:  firstly as holiday homes, designed for short-term living; and secondly as retirement homes for the elderly, designed for long-term occupancy. Both types of trailers usually enjoy good amenities and are surrounded by highly manicured gardens.{{Citation needed|date=April 2014}}

In [[Australia]], there is generally no differentiation between a trailer park and an [[RV park]]. The term "caravan park" is used to refer to both.
