The bay
A Scarness frontage, a canal lot, and a beach yard are not one truck
Stock held for Hervey Bay is matched to the block, and a crane, where the fence is the only way in, is booked to a particular day inside the quote. Pialba, Scarness, Torquay, Urangan and Eli Waters share 4655. They do not share a side setback.

Lots
The caravan still needs somewhere to go
A 20ft on a normal Scarness block can still leave the caravan a place to park if you measured the pad with the van in mind. Side gaps are narrow, fences are solid, and a canal frontage at Eli Waters or Urangan often has nowhere for a rigid to stand. The crane works from the street.
Salt
Urangan ages a shell faster than Howard
Corten has lived in salt air at sea, so the wall is not the piece that fails first. Hinges, rubbers and any bare scratch do. A unit parked in the salt at Urangan wants that attention sooner than one on acreage at Howard, where dust is the larger nuisance. Hose it, and touch up steel that shows.
Hire
A downsize, or the gap between two houses
Hire fits a few months of furniture while a house settles, or a downsize that has a date on it. Buying fits a boat yard or an acreage corner at Burrum Heads that will still want a lockup next year. Canal estates sometimes add their own rules about what may sit in a yard.
No gap
Over the fence is a plan, not a shrug
Where the house leaves the side blocked, the choices are a shorter shell on the drive, or a lift. The lift needs standing room, a clear overhead, and a pad that will take the corners. Acreage out toward Burrum Heads and Howard is the opposite problem: room everywhere, and a track that has to be firm.
Caravans, salt and cul-de-sacs
Will a 20ft still leave the caravan somewhere to park?
If you marked both footprints. The shell's external length plus door swing has to coexist with the van. On a tight Torquay block the honest answer is sometimes a 10ft. Measure before the day is locked.
What does the air off the bay do over the years?
It works on hinges, seals and scratches, faster at Urangan than inland at Howard. The wall steel copes. A hose-down and paint on bare metal keep a sound shell in better shape than ignoring the salt because the steel is corten.
The side of the house is blocked. What are the options?
A shorter unit on the driveway, or a crane over the fence from the street. Retaining walls on canal lots are not a place to stand the outriggers. Send the overhead and the cars will need to be gone.
