Hi Folks,

I am interseted in returning to caravans, but I now use a white unmarked van as my everyday vehicle (just because I like vans). I have heard rumours that a lot of parks won't let me on due to me looking like a new age traveller etc. Anyone any experience of this?

Hi Biz

A warm welcome to the UKCS, best place on the web bar none. 

I have heard this and also seen mention of the fact in site rules.  Never had a van for towing so no 1st hand experience.  Bets I can suggest is for you to contact some sites and see what they say.

Another UKCS member, JoeD, tows with a white van.

I think it may be best to book ahead and mention it when booking. Some sites can be funny about it but I believe there are many who aren't.

If you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel, just keep going till you go round the bend.
