    Can we just appreciate what the driver did! Blindside reverse into a little gate.
    I'm a trucker and that's just impressed me beyond belief! Outstanding reverse drive.

    I've just come across your channel this evening therefore apologies for the very late comment. CZcams must have noticed I subscribe to another channel following a young couple in South Wales doing what you are doing. I couldn't help notice something that concerned me re your caravan delivery. I have always owned a static caravan and the last one I had was a bit older than yours is now. It was in perfect condition when I sold it...no damp issues because I inspected all the seals where the external panels meet at 90 degrees regularly and maintained it well and repaired promptly if there were any issues. I completely coated the chassis underneath with sealant you would use for a car etc. I did this with all my caravans over the years.
    You cannot have missed the damage caused by the delivery driver reversing the back right hand corner into your stocky bush at the gate entrance causing damage to around 0.75 m on the rear panel and 0.3m on the side panel plus the cross member beam underneath along the rear of your van and as a result the edge seam joining the 2 panels then being compromised too. If you don't attend to/repair this quickly it won't be long before the damp and moisture ingress will start to creep in especially given that corner now is positioned very near the ground and in shade. You can try to repair it with glass fibre or more modern materials nowadays plus perhaps eg. sicoflex to repair the seal edge. You did say you were intending to sell the van on after you had used it for your purpose but any future prospective buyer should be made aware of the repair because it could limit the life of the caravan.
    Hope you find this advice helpful.

      The planning regs are more than a little arcane and the authorities will not go out of their way to tell you what you can do, sad to say. However, in certain parts of Wales, the councils are slowly starting to realise that if they want anyone to live in their areas then they have to act a little less like petty tyrants and are allowing exemptions for people trying to reactivate smallholdings and the like.
