Mostly not an issue, but insurance and driving licence etc need to be secure and opened regularly just in case anything drops through unexpected. Ive seen threads on consumer sites where their licence was revoked due getting points and fines not being paid. They forgot to change the address for their licence and V5C.
Doctors maybe a problem, I know mine ask for proof of address to register. Registering the main items at one of your Childrens maybe the best option.
There is a thread somewhere on here from a couple that are travelling in a van they converted themselves.
maybe worth find that out and see if they still use the forum.

It is extremely difficult to get insurance for a caravan if living in it permanently so be careful. By law you have to have a contactable address for driver's licence and car registration.
There is no law reagrding 28 days etc so why not move onto a seasaonal site for most of the year as that applies to club sies. We lived in our caravan permanently for 2 1/2 years on the same site 11 months at a time and then off to another site for one month and used by father's address for correspondence etc.
Unfortunately I ended up witha medical problem that required us to move back into bricks and mortar so that is something else you need to remember.

Sorry, I hadn't seen the other post before I posted!
Where we are, campsites are few and far between and we need to stay local to continue working.
We have found a site to go to but it is a touring site and understandably they want proof of a residence to let us stay for a longer period of time. We have asked daughter and son in law if we can register at their address when they move into it but he is a little unsure if that is legal as we won't actually be living there. Think I'm right in assuring him it's not?
It is not illegal as many people do it and use a relative's address. As long as you do not use it when obtaining credit etc.

If you live in your caravan permanently insurance will always be mickey mouse. You have to pretend relative's home is permanent address and insure everything from there as your address.

That is illegal and can lead to insurance being null and void and also a criminalrecord. You must advise the insurance company where the goods are located and use the relative's address as a correspondence address.
