Awning or base tent are there rules & regulations

To the best of my belief, there is no stipulation regarding awnings which attach to your van. You would need to be on an awning pitch and to maintain the required spacing from your neighbours which is 6m between facing walls of vans and 3m between your and your neighbours' awnings/cars. 

Hi Tinwheler

Many thanks for the quick reply. Does it have to connect to the van to be allowed on club sites or can it be free standing but close to the van.

As we do not really want a fixed or drive away awning - just something free standing but within our pitch.

as pup and toilet tents are allowed I would think it can be free standing. I have seen them but check with the club.

Also many MH leave them up when going away for the day.

a. On pitches with awning space you can erect an awning. You may also put up a tent for extra sleeping accommodation, or a specially designed toilet or cooking tent, provided the main outfit is occupied, but please keep them within your pitch area. Please also refer to rule 5c. (3m rule)

Looking at the site rules (item 6) it would suggest that it'll be OK but I suggest you contact the club for a definitive answer before splashing the cash.

A couple of wardens post here sometimes so maybe one of them will see your question.
