I have just read in Practical Caravan that Mayday cover only covers caravans less than 7 metres in length. Is the length including A frame? We have Mayday cover and panicking a bit now as I didn't see the restriction at the time i bought it. 

Any advice welcome.

thank You

    No size, weight or vehicle age restrictions

    Cover for all cars, caravans and motorhomes, big
    and small, old or new (within UK legal towing guidelines
    subject to using a standard 50mm tow-ball).

    But, but. There is an additional point which catches a few people.

    7 metres body length of caravan is the maximum size that can legally be towed on UK roads with a normal car.

    Caravans with a body length greater than 7 metres are only legal  on UK roads if towed by a heavyweight vehicle with a maximum authorised max (MAM) of 3500kg or above.
