Some peeps have nothing else better to do than squabble over daft & stupid things. Nursie

Oooo Noooo!   You must not call your caravan a big ugly white box!

We think ours is lovely, and it is SILVER!!!

No complaints from our neighbours.

We are looking to move house within the year. High on the wish list is good access to the back garden for the caravan and covenant free. If it's out of the neighbours sight then hopefully no complaints.

It's tough to find something suitable as most modern houses these days are squashed together with barely enough space to park a car.

When we brought our new caravan home for the first time we invited the next door neighbour to view our caravan. We then explained that we would be keeping it in storage except when we were due to go away with it.  We felt that it was a bit of an eyesore for her and as she's a lovely lady we didn't want to upset her.

She said to us, "why don't you just keep it down your drive? It doesn't bother me"

Its now kept on the drive!

Its nice having good neighbours!

That is our problem too, so meantime we are staying where we are and hoping they do something about the Council Tax soon.

We cannot park our van near oure home, we came home two years ago and parked it ouside for a few hours, first thing I knew was the old bat across the road shouting.

Get that Bl**dy thing out of there, you cant park that Gd Dm thing here, I will call the police, and it got much worse before I responded in the same tongue, when the green mist settled I had a look at her view, she was upset that the only window she can see straight into was ours and she couldnt see because the van broke her view.

Some people have nothing better to do.

 They are just jealous of you - cos you've got a holiday home and they have not.

 I park my caravan on my drive. Had no problems whatsoever. However I am an end-terrace type and my drive is opposite side of party wall.

 My last property had a covenant I believe forbidding all owners not to park boats, caravans, trailers on their own property. I thought it a bloody cheek at the time but put up with it as at that time not into camping etc.

 I did make sure before I purchased current property that I was okay to site caravan on my drive. 

 I hope your neighbour eases off and you continue to have your caravan where you choose - at home.
