Excellent👍. But how true the word “inexperienced”. A chap last week at Buxton. Unhitched in the site road and use his mover to enter the pitch. Chatting later he told me he had never reversed his caravan bought last year. But he proudly told me his tug, a Porsche Cayenne had plenty of punch 🤪🤪

I normally use the mover but some days now are better than others so i can see her point as well happy wife happy life .!I used to take pride in reversing onto a site-but swmbo bought the motormovers and I got a good telling off-why risk the clutch the car and the faff when she's paid for a mover-that does the job more accurately anyway-who am I to argue!
I work next to an approved ncc garage,so caravans come and go regularly,have to say ALOT don't have towing mirrors.
I would say a classic "novice "mistake.
I hope you have a fantastic break this weekendWe are away tomorrow down the M5 to a CL in south Gloucestershire where we will be staying until Tuesday before returning.
BTW the checks have already started a this morning they were pulling mainly cars into a laybye on the A449 in Malvern. There were a number of police and also civilians with hi viz vests.
We passed by as they were winding down for lunch so breezed past. We were solo and we did not see any caravans pulled over. Not a caravan route to Blackmore anyway.
Be interesting to see how many they catch and what the issues are.
Do not go by their percentages of problem outfits often published, as the people who do the stopping are experts at picking up the offenders. The percentage found wrong often looks very high but this is because the likely culprits have been picked rather than the vehicles being stopped at random.
The police will stop older less well looked after looking outfits, those where the caravan looks to be too large or overloaded and possibly younger drivers who might not have a B+E licence when they should have one. They will stop a few others at random though.
