    Sorry but I think a sign saying "Caravans Only" is sufficient to convey the conditions of parking in that area. Being a coach driver, it's a regular occurrence to find limited available coach bays at a motorway service area because a lot are occupied by cars. I'm sure caravan and motor home drivers have the same problems.

    Unfortunately we coach drivers cannot just park a 12 metre long coach into a car parking space and we are compelled to have a statutory break occasionally.

    I'm all for slating PPC's and their tactics but sometimes some drivers do park inconsiderately. Providing the signage is clear, I don't think an appeal will succeed.

    We all know that an appeal to Parking Eye will not succeed but If what the OP says is correct the sign just says:

    "Warning: Caravans Only"

    There is every chance an appeal to POPLA will succeed!

    You have now twice posted your opinion.

    This forum is not a forum for bus drivers to seize on posts to air their hobby horse.

    The op wants sound advice not I'll advised opinion.

    There is sound advice and a tried and tested proforma appeal in the newbies FAQ thread intended lo get. Popla code.

    Op ignore the coach driver's opinion and do follow the FAQ thread.

    I'm NOT a bus driver.

    "Caravans Only" (or in my case, Coaches Only), is that not sufficient information to convey the message

    nope , it says bill posters swill be prosecuted on many buildings in town , I was talking to Bill posters yeterday , no police yet , no bailiffs etc

    A sign should state what wil,l happen IF you break the rules , PS Who,s rules?

    It's still a coach. I don't collect fares etc. But thanks for the literacy lesson.

    No problem, the bus drivers on the old routemasters like you never collected fares either.
