It was my understanding as stated above you cannot leave the caravan on a road at night as it doesnt have the same exemption given to a car. But if it is hitched to the car the whole outfit becomes one vehicle, there for being exempt?

This is of course correct, but being a pragmatic sort I would suggest that you could leave your caravan outside your house on the road with impunity. Yes you may commit a parking violation but then if nobody is inconvenienced and nobody reports the offence to the relevant authority there is no penalty to pay. How often do you see a police car or a parking warden down your cul de sac? If the answer to that question is the same as mine it will be never so there is no problem with leaving the van there as long as your neighbours are not going to complain.

The same thing applies to houses that have covenants about keeping a caravan on the premises, in any instance the only thing the covenant holder can do is to ask you to remove your van and you were going to do that any way, so each time you need it outside just park it there overnight and move it the next day and there is nothing they can do.
