So what do you do with the gas bottles while the caravan is in storage as it may be illegal to transport them or even store them at home. As for disconnecting leisure batteries, totally ridiculous. What difference is that going to make whether it is disconnected or not?
Interesting points. I transport my gas bottles home in the car and store them in a locked (ventilated) shed. As far as I'm aware, that's not illegal - can anyone state otherwise? When transporting the gas canister, I ensure it's upright and secured using bungie ropes.
As for the leisure batteries, I'm not sure what the reasoning is there - other than that a connected battery is more likely to result in an electrical fire than an unconnected one, I guess, if there is a fault with the electrical system. I don't think it's a particularly big danger in either case.
Maybe it's more a case that the signs are up, and so the storage yard has exercised its "duty of care". I've no idea how many other van owners who use the site actually take any notice - it's not as if these things are ever checked or monitored. I'm a good boy and do what the signs say!
