Is that the ideal world where there's a magic money tree?

They're not abandoned though. One belongs to next door and the other three to someone on the next street!

But are they taxed......and if they have to tax it they have to have valid mot which may cost more for any faults
If they don't show up as taxed report to council and see what happens when a ticket is slapped on windscreen

They are deemed to be abandoned as they are not taxed.

Is that something you've just made up?

As they are not taxed, MOT'd or insured, they are considered an obstruction in the Highway. If a trailer/caravan is not coupled to a vehicle, then they will be served notice.

Is the caravan lit up at night. AFAIK a caravan can be parked on a public highway as long as there's no parking restrictions in force, it is not causing an obstruction and it is lit up at night. Follow the advice in post #2 and contact your local council to see what they say.

A caravan doesn't need tax, insurance or an mot.

But do carry on with your comedy act.
