Is it really cost effective now to visit one of the four sites that are within in the new ULEZ, lots of members have older cars that have passed there MOT but will have to pay the £12,50 a day. So will it be really worth it to visit these sites.

Let's hope the club makes it VERY CLEAR on the site information that the site is within the ULEZ zones.

If you book without realising you could be in for at least 2 very nasty surprise costs!

Our van is 2015 so 8 years old. It is euro 5 so chargeable for all the low emission zones.. As it has only done 36k miles and new ones are now around £80k we will not be replacing it nor will we be going anywhere near any of the chargeable cities. Not by design at least..

I can't make head nor tail of the system.  My van is a euro 5, I think; first registered 04/11/2015.  I have input the reg. number several times and it always comes up as compliant - no charge.  Not that I have any plans to camp in the zone and definitely not on a CAMC site 🙄.

It might depend on whether you are prepared to use public transport during your stay rather than your car? If you want to use your car everyday then yes it would add an extra £100.00 to the cost of your a weeks stay stay but if it was only the inward and outward journeys it would only be an extra £25. Only you can judge the value of that. The alternative is to stay outside the zone and travel in. Even from MK its only a 30 minute journey to Euston, probably similar from Welwyn? Only time will tell whether the sites you mention survive, we already know that Crystal Palace is under threat of redevelopment by the local council. Also on the horizon is the change to EV's and how that might impact our hobby?

Found this....

Is my vehicle Euro 6 compliant?
You can check your vehicle for Euro 6 compliance in relation to ULEZ with Motorway’s ULEZ checker. 

If your vehicle was made after September 2015, there’s a good chance it’s Euro 6 compliant and therefore able to drive in London’s ULEZ for free.

You may also find this information in your registration details or, you can simply check your reg with our ULEZ check tool which will show whether it’s Euro 6 compliant.

If your car is ULEZ compliant then it will automatically mean it’s Euro 6 compliant too (excluding exemptions).

 

my own van, built in 2016, reg 6/1/2017 is also ok.

Thanks YT.  The TFL checker says it's compliant, i.e. no charge for use in the ULEZ.  Motorway's checker is down at present so can't check euro number.  I will check the V5C tomorrow.

I thought rule of thumb, is if the vehicle uses Adblue its compliant,i.e.Euro 6 ,no Adblue Euro 5. non compliant.

I checked my March 2016 registered van some months ago and it came up compliant. With the expansion of the zone being imminent, I checked it again about ten days ago and it is now non-compliant.

"We want to stop these vehicles killing people" but for £12.50 a day you can have a 007 licence to kill.

Why has my van now become non-compliant? Do I trust this lot - not an inch.

Might be on a chassis older than 2016?  My van was first registered as a motorhome in Dec 2011 but is on a 2010 chassis. (Euro 5)
