Have decided to start a new thread so not to take over the what your doing discussion.
The question / discussion is the benefit of living in a caravan on a club site and moving every 21 days to living in a brick built solid home.
For me apart from the investment angle is -Holidays away in the van, if you lived in one then it's no longer a mobile holiday home.
What do others think.

Maybe not:
You don’t need a separate TV Licence for, Quote:
Boats, touring caravans or vehicles as they’re already covered by your main home’s TV Licence. Unquote.
As said person lives in a 'Touring Caravan' and has to tour due to regulations, it all hinges on the wording of "main home" with said person.

The caravan is his main home, as he has said so often on this and other threads.

Not the main licensed address however. Yes there probably should be a license purchased but I very much doubt that those going off in a caravan and leaving a family member at home would consider to do so

Exactly! Also, even if the the tv was switched on in the house, how would they know that a caravan tv associated with that property is being used at the same time and how would they know where the caravan was parked to even check that? If there was such a rule, it would be impossible to enforce, so not something that anyone would worry unduly about when in their caravan, especially if it's a touring caravan on a touring site! The TV detector van would need to be in two places at the same time to find out and that would be impossible.

His cousin pays the tv licence in his own house according to Malcom, so presumably Malc will ring his cousin to determine he isn’t using the house TV so He can put on the TV in the caravan📞📺📺👍
Personally I can’t see the TV licensing authorities being enamoured with the situation.👎🏻
I may, of course, misunderstood the situation.🙄

Exactly my scenario, Metheven. My caravan is a touring caravan on a touring site and there's a tv licence at the house address. So I don't need a separate tv licence for the caravan, which is another cost saving compared to living in a house!
I think that answers your question, Goldie!
