Hi Guys.

You may have read this type of post a few times. After a protracted divorce ive decided that id like ot live in the Van full time for a couple of years while i get back on my feet. I understand however that as i wil not be on an electoral role and paying council tax on a property i may find it difficult to get some pitches as i in effect have no fixed abode. I do not own my current property so i couldnt even use this one.

Has anyone else had experience of full timing and how i can go about confirming what sites would accept me for either a seasonal pitch or a 28 day stay .

Thanks for your reply guys. How did you get around council tax. As i won't have a permanent address where im already paying it. Its s shame there isn't a scheme where full time tourers can't pay a nominal amount so it isn't an issue. Ive been led to believe that a lot of sites wont even let me pitch if i no longer have evidence.

Cheers guys. Ive phoned one site who said i couldn't stay if i didn't have evidence of council tax or residence elsewhere so i suppose its a case of ringing directly and seeing who will accept. I spoke to the caravan club aswell and they would only give me membership to their sites if i had a uk address. Im certainly not trying to get out of paying what i owe but it does feel as though using the tourer is made hard to discourage people from doing it.
