some insurance companies will give discounts if the are registered with CASSOA

But what i would say is the most popular (The Caravan Club) don't do this

So in my case, I don't have room at home as I live on a hill and the drive way slopes as well which make access very difficult

Apart from the added security of the site you/r friend is looking at offering, in my case why pay the extra

I could park it at the local gypsy encampment as long as i have one form of security (wheel clamp or hitchlock) attached if i was to leave the van for more than 2 hours and set the alarm with no discount or additional premium  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

Another thing as well, i believe fire safety rules state the vans have to be kept so far apart, and my local CASSOA prefer not to have a wheel clamp attached, as it caused problems with a few that caught fire , and the fire brigade just let them burn because they could move them away to a safer location  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I bet your going to be happy when you sell it

Has your friend thought about self storeage. A friend tells me that this is big business.

Basicaly big plywood boxes within sheds - customers fill, lock and pay rent ££££££

self storage has occurred to him too but he doesn't want anything too valuable in case a bunch of masked men wake him up one night to go down and open up the stores for them  At work

And caravans are not valuable.....

Ah but well but hmmm, lets say they wouldn't be as easy to steal and then sell on as peoples valuables . Although in reality those stores are probably full of some right old junk. At work

since my farmer has been told by his "landlords"? that he does not have their permission to store caravans after 10 years of doing so, I now have to find myself a new place to store my caravan

I presume there is something else behind the story i was told, possible down to planning permission, as above 5 vans you require it, but either way i am looking

CG did your mate sort his storage out, if so, and locality i might be interested

CG I hope you haven't been buying my farmers land  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

We all look forward to the answer
Still its a bit cheeky asking CG a question like that NP - still you will know who your mates are when you get the answer  2007 Freelander 2 HSE TD4 Manual with Premium Pack & Moonroof.

i don't think its cheeky at all

CG posted a legitimate question on behalf of his friend, and I am enquiring whether his friend has set up his caravan storage business since i live within his & his friends general area.

Its not a taboo subject when talked about normally, or in fact if joked about within reason, but i think we need not go there as whats been aired, been aired and hopefully moved on  Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

My 'friend' never did go down that route, But 'he' has other farm sheds currently storing a boat,a caravan and various military vehicles. 'His' caravan storage rate is £20/week (special offer £2/week for non-vaners )

All shed are currently full, so my 'friend' has just been away spending all the rental income in a luxury Grasmere Hotel.  At work
