pcov76, whilst you're not in the same category as the hordes that thought the highlands and islands were a great place to self-isolate rather than stay at home and were open about what they were doing, saying you're in limbo is faintly ridiculous as the majority of people are in limbo - you in your van, we in our homes. Some of us cannot even leave their homes and rely on others delivering food and medicine.
It's great that in normal times you'll shop locally but we aren't in normal times. Many small shops in rural areas cannot get supplies as normal to feed local residents - you may be on your own, but there are a lot of other people who think that because they're on their own, they're the only people doing it and numbers add up! Then, as marg6 says, you are moving on so you're needing fuel as well as food with the potential attendant risks of travelling and of course you'll need to dispose of your waste. What happens, God forbid, if you fall ill or slip and injure yourself and need help, particularly if you've found yourself somewhere in the wilds to park up?
I hope you can find somewhere where you can safely park up and stay put for the duration, like the rest of us.

Glad you've found somewhere to weather the storm pcov76.
To try and explain, as we've had it explained to us, why rural small stores (as opposed to the major town supermarkets) have been having supply issues is that many receive their supplies through regular but smaller firms doing their deliveries rather than big artics which aren't financially viable for the small store. These firms (which don't deliver daily during the off season anyway) are suffering from a number of factors, including staff off, changes in how long they're allowed to travel (with consequences for normal schedules being disrupted); when they get the goods; cash flow, etc. and being smaller firms they've not got the flexibility. Additionally, with the lockdown, many stores are not going into visitor season mode because they won't be able to shift the stock and won't get the income. On the plus side, things seem to be looking up a bit, with a network of local suppliers and firms working together.
