I live at the end of a dead end road, no traffic passes further past my house, My neighbour Does not own a car. Two days ago I picked my van up from storage and brought it to my house and parked it on the road outside to allow me time to pack it and charge it ready for our next trip.
I came home from work tonight to find a letter from the local authority stating, it is causing an obstruction to other road users its a 13 ft two berth My car's footprint must be the same size.
Does anybody no weather parking on the road is illegal. Can the local authority take matters further. Any help and advice greatfully received John.

They are usually more complete places than public ones, with services such as Wi-Fi or private security that complement the offer.
It is clear that the safest place to park your caravan is on a camping site. There is no doubt here since you will have all the advantages offered by a site that is specially prepared to give you the services you will need during your vacation. But the truth is that for different reasons it is possible that more than once you need to park your caravan in another place and have to spend the night inside.
It is very important that you always park your caravan in places that are enabled for this purpose or that at least allow it. Of course, whenever you are going to make a trip it is necessary that you check where you will be able to park the caravan if you have not hired the services of a traditional camping site. The usual thing is that the areas where caravans can be parked are marked with a sign indicating this.
If this sign does not appear, it is best to assume that it is not allowed. You must bear in mind that caravans must always be parked together with the car that moves them.

But without a doubt, the best option is to do it on a campsite. You will have all the services you need to enjoy those days to the fullest. In addition, you will be sure not to violate any regulations.
