I would like to bring a Uk caravan to my house in Spain and use it for extra accommodation, we are not overlooked and are very private. We have loads of space but as the area is protected we are not allowed to extend the house. I thought it would be very easy and uk caravans are cheaper and cleaner and in better condition than many of the Spanish ones ive seen. I read somewhere that if a van is in Spain for more than 6 months it has to be re reg in Spain. Also to get the ness paperwork ,second hand van in the uk can be difficult too.It wouldn't be going anywhere. Then I wonder if it was seen from the google earth would the Townhall let it stay?  Any help welcome.

Personally I think it would be better if you sought definitive legal advice either through one of the Town Hall UK residents advice centres (albox, Zurgena, Mojacar) or going to the Gardia with a GOOD interpreter. If you are on Arboleas Forum then Roger who works at the Town Hall may well be able to advise. He is a font of knowledge. If you decommissioned  the caravan formally via DVLA in UK, removed the wheels and put sheeting of some form as a skirt that would indicate it's no longer in use. Also maybe a carport type shelter over it as we have for our motorhome.

Try Roger first on Arboleas Forum. Join and post a question or look for Roger on members or one of Political queries.

Sorry a bit long but fellow travellers. Caravan in Oz.

Thanks    just thought someone would have had the same situ.   Il get the local woman who deals with the townhall to ask the Mayor, of course then he will be "on to me "lol       Maybe just try Roger first after all    cheers Trudi
