Hard to say without seeing how the current site is organized. Could you post a link to it?

So you haven't created the actual caravan pages yet? You could make two static pages, one with caravans for sale and one for rent and just link to them. For such ordinary site navigation links are much better than drop-down menus.

Form elements like drop-downs are suitable if you make a database-driven site. This might be the best solution if you have lots of caravans, and want to let the user sort them depending on location and/or if they are for sale, for rent, price, size etc. But this is something you'd probably need to hire someone to do, and your current web host probably doesn't offer databases.
