Dual Cab - Leisure vehicle?

MGBGT1979

Hello everyone, this is my first posting on here, I have finally persuaded my wife into buying a caravan and we are looking forward to collecting it next month. My wife has been doing her research on particular sites and has come across a couple of sites which do not allow "commercial vehicles". I run my own business and have a very nice silver Vauxhall Vivaro Dual Cab van (which is not sign written), and hadn't given any thought as to whether this may be prohibited on some sites. As my wife has a Nissan Juke, clearly we can't use her vehicle to tow a caravan! I'd be grateful for any advice on this, i.e.would we need to alert sites in advance when about the vehicle, or are Dual Cab vehicles accepted as leisure vehicle safety rather than commercial vehicles? Many thanks in advance.

Hi, MGB. There is no longer a problem in using commercial vehicles as tugs, whether sign written or not, on CC operated sites. If space is limited you might be asked by the warden to park in the car park.

On commercial sites, afilliated sites, CLs etc it is up to the site owner/operator whether such vehicles are allowed and it could pay to ring in advance.

Enjoy your caravan.

hi mgb , as tinwheeler has stated you should not experience a problem on any C.C site.As a Warden we would most certainly welcome you at the Thetford Forest site in Norfolk.

Is that you here on the Cotswolds, Keith?

Is so, that is one impressive outfit!

Thanks for your replies which is reassuring to know. Thetford will definitely be on our list Keith!

Given the Vivaro is not significantly bigger than many cars I do not see it being a problem on the pitch. Commercial sites may have different rules though so you would need to check with them or read there terms before booking.
