I've just booked myself into a site and was asked how long my caravan was so I said, oh 17 foot, so she said no problem, we only need to know about vans over 21 feet.

So off I went, happy as can be, only to realise my van is 22feet 4 inches and I quoted the inside measurements of the van.

Will it matter for 1 foot 4 inches????

I'm worried now that if I ring she wont take the booking as they dont take booking for vans over 21 feet and I've paid a deposit.

Would I be ok to sneak it on????

It may not fit on the pitch so I would own up & confess.

Best people to ask how the measure is to ask them. Anyone else can only guess.

Look the site up using google earth and take a look at the caravans that are there , if you spot some big ones you may be ok , i would still ring the site and talk to them anyway .

the majority of sites can accomodate big vans but maybe not on every pitch, they prpbably want to know so they can allocate you a pitch that's big enough, I'd definitely let them know you made a mistake, you'd be so disappointed if you were turned away or if your van was knocked because it hung over the boundary.

It would be best to phone the site and tell them you made a mistake. Nothing worse than being turned away as you were too big for the pitch.
