Motorhomes being victimised

[otherclive]

All around Glastonbury is littered with people living in their vans, I would think most of them are not towable, some I am surprised they don’t just disintegrate they are that bad.

The ones moved on in Bristol weren’t exactly concourse.

I think it would be a wise move by councils in popular areas to provide Black waste spots for a nominal fee.

For a small fee they can park on a CL, CS or commercial site, like we do.

Why should my council tax support inconsiderate MH owners who give other MH owners a bad name.

Has the OP been back since their first post? Probably not for some strange reason?

An interesting debate, although some wander off the main point, I just hope caravan users don't want support when our government bring in the road tax for caravans that is being muted in places.

Good luck with that one.

That has been scrapped by the government as not economically viable.

That’s been debated on and off for years now along with MoTs for caravans. The bureaucracy required to introduce such a scheme would most likely outweigh the benefits as caravans here are not registered. Anyway caravanners pay extra to use the roads by their increased fuel consumption and the duties and taxes that go with it. Paying by the mile eh?

The thing is that we already pay higher taxes when towing as there's substantial duty on the extra fuel we use.

Caravans being made to pay VED?

Or more likely motorhome VED is brought inline with domestic vehicle VED, rather than the commercial vehicle rate, as they are no longer used as one

In NZ caravans have to go through the equivalent of our MOT but as far as I can remember there's no 'road tax' for them.

Virtually impossible to police. Would probably cost more to administer than income achieved

Does that apply to all trailers or just caravans?

 

[Sam Vimes]

Not really sure - just that my daughter who lives their had a caravan. They have seperate reg numbers to the car as well.
