I ran away from home to stay with my dad when I was about 11 and I was home within a couple of weeks. I think I cramped my Dad's lifestyle and it wasn't so much fun staying with him full time.
I think you are doing the right thing by letting her know that if she does go then you will be re-establishing the ground rules. I think both she and your ex won't be too happy living together in a caravan full time with each other due to space and lack of privacy. When she does ask to come home you will be able to give her the run down of what is expected of her to be able to do that and hopefully she will stop acting like such a spoilt brat.
As tali said though you need to talk to your ex about this so that she doesn't just go back and forth when she doesn't like something that either of you have done. Good luck!!
My best friend had this happen and she let her daughter stay with her ex but told her she had to stay a minimum of 12 months (no backward and forward) to avoid playing one off against the other. Her daughter was back after those 12 months as Dad was not what she thought he was. He was living with his parents and couldn't be bothered even spending time with her while she was living with him. He left the parenting up to his mum.
Anyway her daughter came back and is a better person for having been through this. She is currently in Year 11 and has a part time job and is doing really well after having some serious problems earlier (with the law).
Don't let her walk all over you and set the ground rules now. If she goes to her dad's then it is for a certain time frame and she cannot come back until after that time expires. No matter how much you want her to.
