Are commercial vehicles allowed on site?

You should not have a problem on caravan club sites with a sign written ,tow vehicle now a sign written caravan?

Cannot speak for those sites that are affiliated sites as they are privately owned

Welcome, Darcy.

Commercial vehicles, including those that are sign written, are allowed as towing vehicles on club owned/operated sites. The rule was changed some years ago. (Note that affiliated sites and CLs make their own T&Cs.) 

There may be occasions, though, when space limitations may result in you being asked to park in the car park.

Hello and welcome. I just asked on live chat, got a standard answer - before it went to a chat quoted below.

The Club’s ethos is to provide facilities for touring customers to give them a base to explore their surroundings, but it is incredibly difficult to draw a sensible line between who is a leisure customer and who is a worker, as these lines often blur. 

It was therefore decided by the Club’s committee some time ago that we should allow people who are working to also enjoy our sites, and this decision is reinforced by the Club’s recent redevelopment of its values and the aim to be more inclusive in what we offer.  Therefore, there are no restrictions regarding commercial vans with or without sign writing or ladders. Guests may sometimes be asked to park their vehicles in the visitor's car park, so as not to cause any disruption. 

Not sure about causing  distruption ??.

Hope it helps.

Thank you for quick responses and welcome.

All very reassuring to hear that club sites are accommodating.

I guess it’s just going to be case of checking affiliated and other sites rules as we book and contacting them to clarify if alternative parking is available once the caravan is unhooked on pitch. It makes little difference to me having to do this being able to book the site was my main concern. 

Spot on. If in doubt, ask.

Enjoy your caravan.👍🏻

How does that comply with Code of Behaviour rule10.3.

10.3 The use of Club Sites and Certificated Locations and the participation in rallying activities organised by the Club shall be solely for the purpose of recreation and not for any purpose connected with any trade, business or profession, nor as part of or substitute for any domestic purpose, unless prior authorisation is obtained from the Club.

I would take that as site users are not to carry out on site sales etc 

This has been discussed before, what I recall is that actually using the site for work is not allowed but going to work from a site and leaving the family behind for example is. It's for your recreation while you're there in the evening sort of thing? I go off to work in a suit then is it work or a wedding? If I go off in a boiler suit is it work?

Personally I don't care what people do off site I care more about how they behave on site.

Now of course it's difficult for the club to know if you're sitting inside your outfit on a computer if you're doing 'work' or just browsing CT so that passes I would imagine, but if it's obviously looks like work, like people are bringing  something to the site for you to repair for example, or you've got power tools going on inside or outside your outfit then that would against the rules.

Very woolley I admit.

I sincerely hope that it passes for better reasons than simply the fact that no one can tell whether you are using your computer for work or for recreation. 

I often work in my van. I am a Chartered Accountant (not for much longer thank goodness) and if I want to go away for any significant period of time in my van, I have no option but to work for some of the time - often for whole days. I think I've mentioned that once or twice on other threads in this place, for example about internet connections. No one ever questioned it as far as I know. It absolutely never once occurred to me that there might be any question of that not being allowed. It would seem to me utterly bizarre that I could not sit in my motorhome and do work. Surely that is not what this rule suggests. 

I wonder if anyone at the club thinks that such an activity does contravene Code of Behaviour rule 10.3. 

I can’t see a problem with that, GDJ. It might be different if you had a string of clients visiting you or if you were a cabinet maker sawing wood on your pitch.

And before somebody moans about your use of electricity, while you’re running that impressive looking set up, you’re not watching TV or sitting in an awning with a heater on. Even if you were, you are entitled to use the EHU to suit your needs.
