Hi I've also come across a site that has the rule no commercial vehicles.  We were told this last year so we chose another site as we were going with friends who had a "white van".  This weekend we visited site ourselves and a sign at reception "No Commercial Vehicles". By the time Friday evening arrived it was full of vans various colours, trades also Jet skies large and motorised dingies.

We have a VW transporter which we bought for purpose of being able to use for cmping as well as business. We haven't come across any problems yet, pulled up to Mortonhall, Edinburgh in it and went in to reception to book in and saw their no commercial vehicle sign and thoght 'oh dear here we go' but they never said a word and when we got to our pitch we noticed quite a few vans on site. So don't know how strictly the rule is applied even in those that have the rule.

Hi

We have a Toyota Hiace bought specifically for lugging all our stuff around - it has been fitted with extra seats for the children and is our only vehicle.  We've stayed at numerous sites and never had a second look - yet!  But it's a really good point to consider which we hadn't thought of and sorry about the stinky fumes...never thought of that either

I have come across quite a few sites that state quite categorically that no commercial vehiscles are allowed, presumably to stop new age travellers or similar without being acused of being prejudiced. I am quite happy about this, I don't fancy pitching next to some stinking white van with diesel fumes every time they drive off in the morning.(Although I am sure that doesn't apply to you!) Perhaps you could arrange to drop everythng off at your pitch then leave your van in the camp car park?

Get an old tinted caravan window, stick it to side of van....

Hey presto you have a camper!!!!!

Hi ,

I have a VW Transporter and I show dogs so I need the space to fit everything in , I  use it for private use and I too have been a little concerned about No Commercial Vehicles on Sites .

I posted this Topic a few months ago and had a reply from a site owner that they state No Commercial Vehicles but would be happy to put me up,  I must mentioned  that I have a Van and use it for pleasure and not trading purposes and they stated that many sites would let you on site if you explain this but some do not.

I now phone around first before booking to check wether it is ok , I have been told that some people trade when Camping with Vans and also they stay longer on site then they should.
