My wife and I are hoping to use my parents-in-law's caravan (they are Dutch and the caravan is insured in Holland). We hope to keep the caravan in the UK but also use it in Europe. However, we are a little confused about what to do about the number plate. Dutch caravans have their own number plate, unrelated to the towing vehicle. The Dutch caravan insurance company say that if we were to remove the Dutch plate we would invalidate the insurance. The DVLA, however, say that the number plate on the caravan must be the same as the towing vehicle.
We could, I suppose, insure the caravan ourselves and use the UK plate, but it's a Beyerland and is not easy or cheap to insure over here. Could we drive around with both Dutch AND UK number plates? Nobody seems to be able to advise us.
Any help would be gratefully received!
