We had a tricky time on recent touring trip when we pulled into a Motorway Service area (south bound M6) of a brand we hadn't visited with a caravan before. I don't want to name them at this stage but the sign for caravan parking led us into a car park with just 3 slots for caravans which were both too narrow and too short and without sufficient turning/ manoeuvring space -with other vehicles parked in part of them. This put us in a difficult position, inadvertently scraping the back of another car with the corner of the van. We obviously spoke to the owner of the car and gave insurance details etc, but I feel that the service station need to review their arrangements for caravan parking to avoid putting people in this position in the first place. I would have thought caravans should be directed to the coach/lorry parking rather than the carpark.
I would be interested to hear from anyone else who has had a similar experience.
I have tried to contact the organisation via their website, but not had an acknowledgement never mid a reply and was thinking of trying again/ taking it further.
