Some have a shipping length of over 8m, eg Adria Astella and Bailey Retreat (just shy of 9m).the longest caravan is 7.5 metres in the uk. the unit is only longer if the tow vehicle remains coupled up. whereas an 11metre motorhome is too long for a standard pitch, an uncoupled caravan is fine

Well just imaging driving your van with a caravan behind you !Just out of interest ianandkath, how do you get on driving through built up areas?
Size wise, how does your RV compare with, eg, a furniture van, which has to get into town centres?
I'm asking because I have a 6m. van just now, looking at upsizing to (max) 7.4m., and a bit nervous about it.
Cheers,

If you are talking about the Caravan Clubs sites, for years ALL caravanners & motorhome owners would regard their 'Outfit' as being BOTH the car and caravan, then the god in the ivory towers at CC HQ re-wrote the dictionary to now make the 'Outfit' as being just the caravan or motor home.
They also started with the Maximum permitted length lark which kept being reduced along with some wardens who wearing their Jobs Worth hats even refused some large motor homes on their site that had previously visited and stayed because their length was over the Maximum Permitted length that had been reduced and reduced.
On a good note I'm led to believe the maximum length lets say it says 9m doesn't mean that you cannot visit that site with anything over, NO it means that ALL pitches on that site can accommodate a 9m unit, even though the site may have several than could take even a 12m unit, it means you have to contact the site direct and just hope Mr or Mrs Jobs Worth doesn't answer.Broken Link Removed

I can honestly say that in the 20yrs of camping,caravanning ,RV,ing and motorhoming we have never had a problem with a site.be it CC , C&CC or private site.the biggest Motorhome we have had was 38ft and the one we have now is 29ft.If the site cannot physically take your unit then there is not a lot the wardens can do.just find another site.there is a lot of great sites out there that take RV,s and large motorhomes and as said we have never had a problem.We always use CC sites where possible,they are always very clean and well serviced and you know what you are getting,ok not the cheapest but for us it works.i know its a rv but why can i not get on the same sites as a tugger, they are well over 11 metres
but in reality you will only ever see these towed behind transits and pick ups, so will be banned for other reasons
they have never been tourers, hopefully Mondeo man doesn't think so anyway

Don't worry to much, I had the same concern when I got my first M/H at just over 7 Mtrs, had a caravan for many years, been everywhere down single track country roads, all round France and a lot of small villages in the UK never had a problem or even felt under pressure at any time so go for it and enjoy the extra spaceJust out of interest ianandkath, how do you get on driving through built up areas?

If the pitch is 25ft long.....? with hedges at the rear boundary.....?if they can accommodate a 25ft caravan they should take up to 30ft camper
