scary maybe but not getting it right first time is even more scary.....especially for the Bank account! The focus should not be on getting a caravan but on the right caravan.

Having mentioned the cost of not getting it right....here is something to ponder

Making your own number plate

First, the new plate must conform to the relevant regulations.

1. Typeface must be sans serif. All other fonts are prohibited. The one decorative variation still permitted is a 3D effect version of the mandatory typeface.

2. Each character must be 79mm high and 50mm wide (except the number 1 or the letter I). The width of each character stroke must be 14mm. There must be a space of 11mm between characters within the same group, and character groups must be 33mm apart. For the purposes of measurement, each character (again, excepting the number 1 or the letter I), regardless of its shape, is treated as a rectangular block of dimensions 79mm x 50mm

3. The colours and reflectivity of number plates must also comply with the regulations and accord with British Standard BS AU 145d. Your rear plate has to have black characters on a yellow background. …and it has to be the correct yellow

4. The plate must be marked with the British Standard Number; the name; trade mark, or other means of identification of the manufacturer or component supplier; the name and postcode of the supplying outlet.

Having made your own, the "Oh the real one dropped off Officer" is no defence. You can face a fine of up to £1000 for breach of the Regs but saved yourself £15 by making your own!!!!.

As the rather greatly named legsdownkettleon has indicated...there are no half measures.
