 Jealousy is an awful thing. Go out in your van and just enjoy and think of your neighbours sat at home looking for something to complain about as mine do, and tell them to *f* off and get a life.MMMMMMMMMMMMM    LOL.                                                                                                                

IF ITS AROCKING DONT COME A KNOCKING. TJE NEIGHBORS SLEEP IN SINGLE BEDS. HO HO HO

i know where you are coming from with anti-caravan neighbours. we arrived home yesterday to find next doors cars (8of ) parked at strategic points near our drive meaning it would be impossible to reverse the `van into the drive. they stood and watched as we struggled to push it up the slope of the drive.not an offer to move any of their cars or give us a push.

this seems to happen every time we are out with the caravan now. seriously thinking about storage as an option but why the hell should i pay £200 - £300 a year when ive got room at home ?

hope you get your problem sorted.i think the clapped out camper restoration project is a top idea.

Can I just say that in my experience, personal and professional ,disputes with neighbours cause untold stress and nobody 'wins' whatever the issue.

here in Sheffield we do have a mediation service to help  in these sorts of issues ,preventing them escalating. Yes you may have right on your side in terms of the law and you have complied  to their  request by moving your van. If this really doen't suit you you may have to try to sit down with them and thrsh out your differences. If they are unreasonable and not open to this sort of approach ,then a third party arbitrating may help.

Sorry to go on and probably stating the obvious but my experience is that escalating things just gets people more stressed and feeling besieged in their own homes, which should be your haven(apart from caravan of course).

Hope you get a good resolution to this.
