Commercial vehicles on campsites

Anything that is sold initially where the price is plus VAT.
This includes vans, lorries and pick ups.

yes
We have a pick up as our tow car and have not yet run into any problems regarding it being a commercial vehicle. We mainly use CC sites or CL's, however I read somewhere of an adult only site near Turo that refused to allow someone in with a pick up. As a lot of people have pick ups these days which are the family car and don't have a commercial use, this does seem a bit hard, but then sites are entitled to choose who they allow on their sites.
Many workers have vehicles that they share as work and family vehicles with crew cabs or extra seats. Many workers use cars as vans.
Providing they are not plying their trade on site what's the problem.
I can't see any difference between a painter with VW crew cab van or a surfer in a Caravelle stickered up with "Sex Wax" and "Naish" stickers.

Hi Gill, I wasn't saying that pickup shouldn't be allowed just answering Lisa question as to what a commercial vehicle is . I have sold more pickups to retail customers than I have to commmercial .
Also I have seen many people on site with vans ,in fact I think CC allows them as long as they are not sign written.
The rule is obviously in place to stop certain people using sites but I think in practice is very flexible so a call to the site before hand is the answer.

I wasn't getting at you Brian, sorry if you thought I was (smiley icon thingy!)
Didn't think you were Gill ;O)
Well done you. Power to the people and all that.
If I am not mistaken I believe the use of the crew cab style pick up when used as a company car does not carry so much tax hike as a company car. When this type of vehicle is used with a "glass" style back over the pick up area they can be made to look like a large 4x4 car and also quite smart. Also very useful for their large luggage carrying area. The only down side with these vehicles is the stiffer rear springs could cause distortion to the caravan chasis.
I use 2 tow vehicles.
A Discovery 300TDi and a Beavertail transit. I use the Transit to transport my vintage tractor(s) to tractor rallies and road-runs. Whichever tow vehicle is in use, it is still the same caravan behind and the same people in the cab.

Personally, I have never yet been asked what my tow vehicle is when booking a site.
In practice it has always been the Range Rover, but if something happened to that the emergency substitute would be a "van bodied" Defender.
If no mention is made of any restrictions when the booking is made (and usually NO conditions, except perhaps a deposit, are ever mentioned), then they are not able to arbitrarily impose them post contract.
This is standard legal situation.

About 24 months ago, I looked into a Nissan double cab Pick Up's as a company car and thought about have the back enclosed making it look like a bit like a Pathfinder - great for the family weekends etc and also a cheaper option to buy and pay tax on.
Our fleet manger checked these cars out as a tax saving for staff only to discover that if you enclosed the back of the pick up the loading area the loading weight was reduced to below one tonne (dependant upon type of load area covering). As a result if the loading weight went below one tonne then the pick up would be classed as a company car rather than a commercial vehicle and the tax liability went from
