Every time a Hobby is mentioned on here we get the same old bs, every time its you cant insure them, sites wont have them, theres no oven, the list goes on, every time people who have one reply with they dont have any of these problems,

As always we disagree.

Refusing to provide a caravan pitch to a person with an entirely normal caravan on the grounds of the make of caravan they are towing is just as illegal as refusing to decorate a cake because your religion does not agree with same sex marriage.

Double axle is different as it chews the ground up more than a single axle caravan.

If one turns up with the single axle Hobby caravan physically the same as all the other caravans on the road and on the site and they refuse access to a pitch, the grounds for refusal had better be a darn sight better than you are suggesting or we will have another case going thru the courts.

It is fairly obvious in both UK & France who would be undesirable users of these caravans which is why campsites reserve the right to refuse entry to camping equipment & parties that they feel would be would not be suitable for their sites.

The reason these sort of 'anti Hobby' threads are so daft is because anybody who is obviously a normal touring carvanner arriving at a site in a normal sized German built touring caravan in the UK or a UK reg twin axle in France would not be refused entry entry because they are not the sort of 'customers' who are likely to lay waste to the site.

As for your constant references to 'legal action' Mobi, any lawyer with tell you it is the person that has to be discriminated against not the caravan. If you are LGBT or a member of a specific minority group you might have a case for being turned away, but 'normal' with the 'wrong' sort of caravan, case dismissed I'm afraid. Caravans are just boxes, they cannot instigate litigation.

You will probably find site owners have consulted real lawyer on this not forum lawyers.
