When can we use our vehicles?

just go & collect it .... 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Where do you normally keep your van? 

I thought sites were not able to open until the 13th Apr, so are you allowed to travel on the 12th Apr to get to your site?, who knows, but i bet you would not be the only one 

"officer it is essential that i travel today because I have just spent £35 for a night in my caravan at X and if i dont travel today then i will not be able to make it to X and loose £35" might work

... "officer it is essential that i travel today because ...."

which is assuming you actually see a copper on the road. I wouldn't think a copper would give DaveT a passing glance if he saw him on the road, and even if he did, Dave just needs to say he was collecting it from being repaired .... same as if he was collecting his car from being repaired or MOT

Thanks for such a speedy response. I think EmilysDad has a point because it will, in effect, be returning from repair. Although I don't need to collect the van yet, I am just planning ahead. A few days at home to sort out the water system, load it etc would certainly make life a lot easier.

Club sites in England are opening on 12 April.

From 29 March the stay at home rule will be relaxed although we are encouraged not to make unnecessary journeys. 

Where's your problem, Dave?

Thanks Tinwheeler, I missed the 29th March transition.

I think the clubs recent updated statement is quite self-explanatory.....

we just have to wait & see when we can access 'shared facilities'  & from the government statement on 22nd I would imagine this to be 17th May unless we get special treatment.....

I am certainly planning on taking ours for a 20 mile or so run round on the 29th..

Useful information here.
Meanwhile our caravan's booked in for a service on March 16th and if I re-schedule it'll be late May before our engineer can fit us in.  I prefer him to service it here rather than in storage, but am wondering on whether towing 15 miles home for that purpose will be OK by that date.

Thanks.
