[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 443010, member: 6969"] There is another twist to this. Our council have produced a document clarifying what legally meets the definition of a "caravan" That is important, as a "caravan" can be built and sited without needing building regulations, and comes under different planning laws. There is a growing trend for people building small homes, to build them under the legal definition of a a "caravan" To meet the legal requirement of being a "caravan" it does NOT need to be on wheels. It must be capable of being moved, but that can be moved by lifting it whole, or in parts with a crane onto a low loader. Such a "caravan" can be built in exactly the same way as any other timber framed house. I have wired a number of these and to be honest I treat them exactly the same as any other fixed house, even connecting them to a TNC-S earth, as unlike your normal caravan, these don't have metal chassis and aluminium sheet cladding [/QUOTE]
