the travelling folk use hobby caravans a lot for the value and size plus they are fancy, THEY definately do NOT get any grief from the law. i looked at a hobby two years ago and looked into the legality of the width as i had issues with a boat trailer that came from the usa that was too wide for towing with non commercial vehicles. the dealer that had the hobby said he never had any problems BUT when pushed if it was illegal he just grinned and said only if you get caught. i asked him if i did not ask would he have told me or any other customer. again he said to tell the law that i was from southern ireland and that they could not enforce that rule on me.(I DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS TRUE) BUT more important he said that he had sold hobby's before and no one had been caught yet by this rule, had the buyers been told that the van they had was illegal i asked,,,, he smirked and said "what you don't know you don't worry about". that is why there is a lot of hobby vans out there. it is a pity cos the van i looked at was a beaut, but not if i got fined. there is talk of a major clamp down on this sort of thing. especially at the ferry terminals between scotland and northern ireland, a mate of mine was at a rally in scotland and the law had pulled every towing vehicle going to the ferry. he was in a transit towing his rally car but got fined £1000 for being overweight, and width.
cheers
