Some sites such as the big commercial ones and Club sites have the 28 day rule (21days in the CC sites) as part of their local planning regulations, which if they break the rules, they risk loosing their site licence.

Probably the cheapest long term site would be on on a farm, where they have space for a couple of 'workers' caravans and are not regulated as such as a commercial caravan site. Some of these can provide EHU via an adaptor which turns the hook up cable into a normal 3 pin domestic plug, which then can be connected to a domestic type socket in a outbuilding or barn.

Hi just to get things straight, there is nothing illegal about living in your motorhome!

The 28 day rule is down to planning regulations, any longer than that and the site is in breach of its license.

I would join Camping & Caravan Club and Caravan Club, check out all the small sites in your area. Depending on what you require, showers/ehu etc the price varies. If you have a shower on board your van then you will be better of staying on the smaller sites price ranging between £6.00 and £12.00 but if your looking for showers etc then you are starting at £12.00 and working upwards. Average price to expect to pay would be £15.00pn

If you need any more help please get hold of us.
