Commercial vehicles have never been banned from any caravan site or CL as many people use pick ups for vans to town their caravan. However some site object to vehicles with sign writing on them. Not every working person can afford two large vehicles in the household, one for the business and the other to tow their caravan.

I think it's a case of times changing. At one time only travellers used commercial vehicles to tow their caravans, and many sites banned them for that reason. However, these days many other people use commercial vehicles for their own personal transport as well as for their businesses, so the rules have become more relaxed.

I have no objection personally think Colin 21 they may have been because travelling community use them.
But would travelling people pay to stop on sites.
Only used c.l. sites a few times, the last time there was a family driving a ford ranger the owners didn't seem to mind.
On occasions a family join either of the clubs, go to a site and the take it over with the rest of all their families arriving in the middle of the night. I think this happened recently on a CAMC site.

I wouldn't have thought it was possible for anyone to arrive on a CAMC site in the middle of the night? They have barriers.
Those barriers are designed to stop the likes of you and me Mrs Bonce, who would respect them, not someone who would think nothing of simply driving straight through it if they couldn't physically lift it out of the way.

A similar thing occurred on an independent site that I used frequently near Edinburgh. One family booked a pitch then their friends arrived with their vans and pickups. The adults were out all day in their vehicles leaving the kids running around the site causing havoc.

The family already on site have a barrier key so not an issue.
