12 Things UK Caravan Owners Don't Know Are ILLEGAL in 2026

A careful couple can break three towing laws before they reach the motorway, and none of it feels like breaking anything. Ciaran Doyle counts down twelve UK caravan rules by what they can cost you. In this video: - The number plate, your phone and what you can see out of the car - Towing mirrors and the £1,000 fine - Lights, speed limits and the outside lane - The breakaway cable and the tow ball loop myth - Tyres, counted one at a time - Passengers in the caravan - Weight, and the day police stopped a dozen drivers on the M6 - Plus the one that arrives in the post, saved for number one - Four things people swear are illegal that aren't Sources mentioned: - GOV.UK and the DVLA - The Highway Code - Warwickshire Police - Caravan and Motorhome Club - The Yorkshire Post and Yorkshire Evening Post - Dorset Council General information only. Prices checked in September 2026 and may change. Not legal or financial advice, and not a substitute for a habitation check or a qualified engineer. What's the one rule you found out about the hard way, at the roadside or at a site, and whereabouts were you when you found out? Tell me in the comments. #ciarandoylemotors #caravan #towing
