Perhaps he’s trying to save money and wants someone to post copy. Here’s the first page of the section.

Wrong section, see the fourth paragraph of 721.1, residential (static) caravans are are treated as a normal installation.

Depends on the static caravan.... or “holiday homes” as they like to be called.
Residential static caravans are built to a different spec as a holiday type. Can’t remember the BS numbers now but there are differences.
Holiday statics are under the same category as touring caravans that you tow behind a car(or transit van, if you’re so inclined) whereas residential statics are treated like any bricks and mortar house.

Glad to see I’ve started another debate. I can’t stand the things, a bit like horse boxes. What’s the point, all they do is clog up the roads?

I can see I’m going to get a ribbing for this....

But I am a paid up member of the caravan and motor home club.

Every bank holiday... I’m out towing my little house on wheels, clogging up perfectly straight A roads.
I’m heading to Ayrshire next week. Prior warning so you can avoid

Super... Smashing.... Great.
Now see what you could’ve won... (if you could answer a question right and your mate could throw a dart straight)

Great old tv show. When people were happy going home with a money prize of £146.... none of your million pound drops here...

I saw a repeat recently on Challange. A celebrity version with Linda lusardi, frank bruno and John mckrirrok(?)

Got to love 1980’s family entertainment jokes about ----- and black faces.

Two guys from the Isle of Man went on years ago, would have been perfect if they won a speed boat but no, they won a caravan, at that time they were illegal over here haha
