Living in a Caravan Vs Living in a house

I can’t imagine the Beeb spending resources tracking down a single individual either. Although I dare say some posters would enjoy the schadenfreude☹️

The more I read about this Caravan Vs House business the more I get put off the idea   It seems to me a big part of it is living on the edge of the law and seeing what you can get away with. I really don't fancy having to live constantly having to look over my shoulder 

Anyone know when the toilet cassette in a house need emptying ? we having been using both house toilets for 39 years now and they still don't seem to have filled up ?  Just my luck it'll be today and I'll have go out in this awful weather to deal with it

The BBC receive the licence fee but the licensing authority is a government department and I think we would all be surprised at their level of technology.

Don’t understand R2B why you would think I or anyone else would take pleasure in Malcolm getting into trouble, I thought the vast majority of posts were aimed at trying to stop him hurting himself and Mrs M.

Thanks Oneputt, Rocky can count me out of the schadenfreude bit too. 

Just now lots of people on site are frozen up and to live like this would not be my choice at all. Some would think "schadenfreude" for attempting it even on a temporary basis but there you go, the hardy British camper gives it a go.(But for me not full time!)

In most parts of the UK the situation of not being able to use water and waste without problem when on site is rare. Probably 2 weeks in 400 weeks. At this time of year in the present weather I would opt for a full facility site. Quite capable of using a 4pt jug in caravan and the toilet block for ablutions etc. Not a real hardship for me

Just posted on another thread about a totally frozen van, no loo, no water etc. It's quite a trek across the slippery snow for some, not complaining but the UK does sometimes have lengthy cold or wet  snaps. Those spending time abroad might fare better.

Our loo would not freeze with the heating on and that is for sure. 

could not see our loo freezing with the heating on

it would mean having to wear wellingtons instead of crocs if the snow was deep.

so it has thawed out since yesterday?  that is fortunate!  

" The warden came over to tell us that the site taps are all frozen except one tap in a sunnier part of the site, so we can still get water. However, the water in the Aquaroll froze so we simply switched over to using the onboard tank. So no problem getting water through the taps in our caravan because the onboard tank is working fine. I was even able to have a shower this morning. The only concern was whether the water would drain from the shower base.Fortunately, it drained without any problem at all. However, the sink and washbasin drains are still blocked with ice. "
