Hi we are picking up our caravan from storage on Saturday and towing with our new car for the first time. We have a new number plate but am wondering the best way to change the plates over. I know we need to get some sticky pads but should we take the old number plate off and if so will it cause any damage to the caravn if its stuck (not screwed) on? What have other people done and found to be the best way of dealing with this? Also we won't be able to clean the surface properly until we are home. Hubby had thought we would just stick new one over the old one but am a bit worried that should it come off we would then have the wrong reg .

Any suggestions would be helpful.

I suppose that if it will stick to the caravan it will stick to the other number plate. I still think I would try and remove the old plate first. Otherwisw you are going to have to do it twice.

Do not put your new plate on top of the old one, IF the original is also on with sticky pads, because you are relying on the old glue.

I loaned my trailer to a friend, he used double sided tape to put his plate on top of mine.

The police stopped him as routine check and when they saw the new plate on the old one said that he could have stolen the trailer and detained him until they contacted me to verify it was on loan,

Unfotunately it tok the 3 hours to do this as i was at a hospital appointment

Friend wasnt too pleased but I was because it could have been someone else trying to steal the trailer

Regards.
