As I've probably mentioned before we've just sold the house and until we 
find where we want to leave will be touring in the camper .

I spoke to tv licence authourity and apparently they dont have a rule in 
their books to cover not having a fixed abode.  Between 3 members of staff 
they have suggested:-

a) tranfer the address as c/o to friend or relative -  which may or may not 
confuse the computer when the residents' of said address tv licence comes up 
for renewal.

b) leave it where it is - and hope it doesnt screw up the new owners 
application, which apparently it might? And again technically if you dont 
imform them of your change of address to a new fixed abode you arnt covered.

c) cancel it -  but they cant find anything to back that one up, wont put it 
in writing and have said that random spot checks on camp sites have taken 
place in the past. Although they rely mainly on database information now 
they cant guarantee spot checks wont be instigated. At the same time signing 
up for a tv licence without a fixed address is apparently technically not 
possible according to their understanding of the rules.

So have others done in that situation?? Anyone got a definitive ruling?

:o(   ))))))  <--- me banging my head against the nearest wall ( which I 
dont own anymore).

Interesting - something I wasn't aware of.

A few years ago we spent 7 weeks touring in our MH, having completed the 
sale on one property and awaiting some lazy arsed builders to finish our new 
one.  Technically we had no fixed abode - our furniture was in storage, and 
we were homeless apart from the van.  Never gave any thought to the points 
you raised.

Actually, it wasn't the wonderful experience that you might imagine. For 
starters, I was acutely conscious that the MH was our only abode - and I was 
constantly worried about someone driving into the back of it, leaving us 
well and truly up that well known creek without the proverbial paddle.

Also, the freedom to wander palls much sooner than you might think.  We 
stayed mostly on CCC holiday rallies - and, as the weeks progressed, we 
became increasingly envious of the regular holidaymakers who would pack up 
after a week or two and head back home.  It's surprising how boring 
'touring' can become when you have nothing else to do ;)

I can still recall the wonderment of moving into our new home - with what 
felt like its giant sized cooker, and enormous showers ;) - as for a WC that 
didn't need to be emptied..........can heaven really be better much than 
that? ;)

'touring' can become when you have nothing else to do ;)

I can still recall the wonderment of moving into our new home - with what

didn't need to be emptied..........can heaven really be better much than 
that? ;)

Interesting - something I wasn't aware of.

A few years ago we spent 7 weeks touring in our MH, having completed the 
sale on one property and awaiting some lazy arsed builders to finish our new 
one.  Technically we had no fixed abode - our furniture was in storage, and 
we were homeless apart from the van.  Never gave any thought to the points 
you raised.

Actually, it wasn't the wonderful experience that you might imagine. For 
starters, I was acutely conscious that the MH was our only abode - and I was 
constantly worried about someone driving into the back of it, leaving us 
well and truly up that well known creek without the proverbial paddle.

Also, the freedom to wander palls much sooner than you might think.  We 
stayed mostly on CCC holiday rallies - and, as the weeks progressed, we 
became increasingly envious of the regular holidaymakers who would pack up 
after a week or two and head back home.  It's surprising how boring 
'touring' can become when you have nothing else to do ;)

Interesting - something I wasn't aware of.

A few years ago we spent 7 weeks touring in our MH, having completed the 
sale on one property and awaiting some lazy arsed builders to finish our new 
one.  Technically we had no fixed abode - our furniture was in storage, and 
we were homeless apart from the van.  Never gave any thought to the points 
you raised.

Actually, it wasn't the wonderful experience that you might imagine. For 
starters, I was acutely conscious that the MH was our only abode - and I was 
constantly worried about someone driving into the back of it, leaving us 
well and truly up that well known creek without the proverbial paddle.

Also, the freedom to wander palls much sooner than you might think.  We 
stayed mostly on CCC holiday rallies - and, as the weeks progressed, we 
became increasingly envious of the regular holidaymakers who would pack up 
after a week or two and head back home.  It's surprising how boring 
'touring' can become when you have nothing else to do ;)

I can still recall the wonderment of moving into our new home - with what 
felt like its giant sized cooker, and enormous showers ;) - as for a WC that 
didn't need to be emptied..........can heaven really be better much than 
that? ;)
