I would say only the CC can give a near enough exact figure but only if a member has indicated he is a caravanner or M/Her but for a rough guestimate go round a site, count the number of M/H and divide byt he number of pitches (assuming a full site so do it at wekend) to give a rough idea.

I doesn't really matter to me either, I'm simply interested to know roughly what the Caravan / MH split is. I would guess about 2 : 1.
Write your comments here...no much lower, based on my storage site (400+pitches) I would say more like 15:1 in favour of caravans.

For part of the run down from Fort William to Glasgow I was counting towed caravans and motor caravans. It was 3 to 1 in favour of motor caravans, but unfortunately I lost mental count of the proportion of motor caravans that were not UK registered. There were no non-UK caravan towing vehicles.

When it comes to keeping your MH at home, I can see two problems. One is discrimination - saying that you can't keep a MH at YOUR OWN home. I'm surprized that this hasn't been challenged successfully in the courts.
A bigger problem is that in the UK, new houses are the smallest in Europe. They rarely have a garage big enough for a couple of bikes or a driveway big enough for a 'Smart' car.
