Reading the latest magazine, and the Technical question/answer page 124, I was delighted to read the response to what units are allowed on sites. So many times I have been reported to the wardens for contravening rules, being in possession of a Turtle 1200 Teardrop Caravan. Here it was in black and white column, as an acceptable option, is teardrop caravans. Woah, I am dancing around my lounge at home, I love you, technical expert. This edition of the magazine will be stored away inside one of my two cubby holes onboard.....

We had a lovely teardrop caravan next to us a few years ago at Meathrop Fell, never entered my head to report it to the warden, why would you? Only thing I wondered about was where did the dog sleep?

I could understand if people came up and had a chat about it with you out of pure curiosity, but report you to the warden are there really people like that?

I am trying to work out how these weird people think you got onto the site in the first place without the warden having seen, and been happy with, your outfit!

I wondered exactly the same thing, what makes them think reporting it after it was admitted on to the site would make the wardens ask the owner to leave? The mind boggles.

totally unbelievable that people do this. I don't care what is pitched next to me, boat, igloo, MH, caravan, trailer tent, or how many cars are parked on the pitch. Surely how people behave is more far important than what they sleep in?

Sorry you have experienced problems in the past TeardropJeff. Let's hope that the article clears up any misunderstanding. I'd certainly keep a copy or too handy!

Apparently in the distant past, caravans were described as having a bed, and a fixed table. Anything else wasn’t a caravan ! What really gets to me, and often upsets me, is folks who come around asking to look at everything, and chat about what a marvellous little tourer you have there Jeff. Then off they walk into the wardens office, to ask for my removal. It’s happened so many times

TDJ.. Does this telling tales ever happen on commercial sites or does it only occur on Club sites (CAMC or C&CC)?
