I think you should ask whoever operates the carpark explaining what you want to do, why ask on here ?
But in principle two parking bays needs two tickets

 

[Otter Spotter]

Try the LA website, though if you are thinking of parking it in a car park without hitch and wheel locks don’t expect it to be there long

 

[whiskyman]

Well they wont be able to fine you but its possible they could take it away

For Winger

Motorised or not it's still taking a space up.
Could you park a normal caravan there doubt it.

You are-paying for the parking bay. So 2 tickets.

Well, I think it depends on the rules and regulations of that particular cark park. If you are correct and it is a loophole, if many people start doing this I am sure the council will soon add to their regulations to include 'vehicles' such as yours.

Perhaps just do the right thing and pay for any space you use as you are stopping others from parking there.

By the way - you'll need to pay to make any more posts on here very soon!

 

[VXman]

Tell you what though - Barmouth don't like Motorhomes unless in a campsite....

They even have a motorhome complaint button on their website.

As soon as the Go-Pod is detached from the tow vehicle it becomes unregistered. I would worry about it being treated as abandoned and getting removed. Most local authorities get very jittery about caravans in car parks (usually bigger ones) and may not want to turn a blind eye.

Surely the sensible thing to do if the OP wants to go off for the day is park it up on an approved site, pay the fee and stop penny pinching.

That's the answer really isn't it, why would you even think of doing it never mind carpark charge.

 

[Steve and Denise]

At the end of the day it’s a caravan and the council will have specific rules covering that

I haven't a clue on caravan prices but at £18,000 for that, someone is having a giraffe !

Also if the OP can afford £18,000 (assuming he is not hiring) why the issue with a double car park fee.

Someone on a wind up I suspect.

 

[Mikey RV]

Should ask on a caravan forum.

Yeah he's just hoping to sell one, probably.

Best take the number plates off then otherwise they will trace it back to you.

 

[Oldrat]

I’d be more worried about it being stolen.

Receiving a ticket depends on local rules.

Councils often have a power of removal

Not round here with certain travellers.

I agree with Steve. I would imagine most councils can act VERY quickly to remove abandoned caravans from their land!

 

[Oldrat]

You have my sympathy.

Having the power and using it are two different things

They might point out that t is a CARpark, not a trailer park and remove or clamp it?

PS. There must be most of those #4 Traffic Wardens where I live!
