Whats a motor caravan?
• In the UK, the old Construction and Use regulations define this as a motor vehicle that is constructed or adapted for the carriage of passengers and their effects and which contains, as permanently installed equipment, the facilities that are reasonably necessary to provide mobile living accommodation for its users. Basically, bed, cooker, washbasin and wardrobe. This was important back in the Seventies because it raised the speed limit of a van from 40mph to 70mph.
