I'm not sure about the legal aspect of parking on the side of a road but one thing that I would be concerned about is that it would stand out from the "crowd" and may attract the odd bit of vandalism, I have notice a van parked a mile or so from me in a similar situation which has had the windows smashed.

It may also be wise to inform your insurance company to make sure that they will cover you temporarily in this situation.

Hya Dodgy, Lots of sites offer storage, some of the C&CC sites offer storage so it may pay to look around the local sites & explain your situation. Ask a couple of the local farmers, we're nice people & you may find one who'll let you use a corner. Go & see an owner of a local CL 5 van site to see if they can store it for you. To be honest, I'd think twice before leaving it on the road outside your house. If some numpty comes flying down the road & uses your caravan as his garage you'll wish you'd put your hand in your pocket & stored it somewhere.

I don't know where you are, I never read your profile but I'd say that as long as you're not on the coast then storage charges shouldn't be too high.
