Bit of a weird one here and just wondering if anyone has been in the same situation before?

During the summer (mid June) a caravan was parked up over the road from our house. I thought it may have been one of the neighbours so didn't take much notice as it left a few days later. Then returned within the week. Noticed a small 4x4 that doesn't belong to anyone in our street unloading it and securing it and no one has been near it since.


Other than it looking like st it's taking up what little parking there is for anyone visiting . Is there anyway a owner can be traced or anyone that can trace the owner?

Failing that doesn't anyone want to borrow "my mates" caravan?

Caravans aren't vehicles as such, and as a result, don't fall under road traffic law for the purpose of being abandoned.

However, local authority/environmental health are the people you need to speak to. When i've dealt with them, they've usually had it towed away within a week or two.

Aren't pretty much all caravans Data tagged these days? I think the Police can scan it if it appears abandoned.

Didn't see a plate on it when I passed but there is a piece of cardboard in the window maybe with a reg number drawn on it?

It's a bit of a portacabin on wheels. All tatty and covered in st from being parked under a tree. Did have a google before but most of the answers were from a over night point of view.

Better still, find a Transit/Transit pick up who use a bugle and tell them. Guaranteed to be either weighed in or refurbished ,but gone in hours.

Gypsies have a device that they can clamp to the a-frame of a trailer/caravan. It fits over the ball, even with protection, and can be hitched directly to another car. I would advise getting one of these, and then moving it somewhere else. Maybe to a layby down the road.

The tinkers (Travellers) will nick it soon.

I remember someone giving my father a caravan as part payment years ago.

He parked it with a clamp on the wheel, in a locked compound, behind a police station.

Within a few days a bunch of travellers had stolen it.

It's been there for a few months not clamped and never moved.

Will see if I can call anyone tomorrow and hopefully they can contact someone.

Could maybe drill a hole in it and fill it with sausages in the mean time?

The ex girlfriend lived in a cup-de-sac that had little parking,a that lived opposite had a large caravan that he left further up the road taking up three spaces. He moved house but the caravan stayed,he was told to move it but never did so the fil and i wound up the stabilising legs at the rear and pushed it along the road,after a few nights we had pushed it out of the close and left it in the middle of the road. We then wound the legs right down, went in doors and phoned the police to report a caravan that was parked in a dangerous place. We then all parked in the space the caravan was in so it couldn't come back.

I thought that you couldn't leave a caravan or trailer in the road - it has to be attached to a licensed car.

Accidentally pour a few litres of petrol onto it and then accidentally light the petrol.
