What are the rules for storing a caravan on the street?
What are the rules and regulations for storing my caravan on the street? Your answer to this question in 2019 included this comment - "The caravan must also have all the necessary regulation reflectors with the nearside facing the pavement so the rear lights can be seen by oncoming traffic at night." There will be no rear lights showing on the caravan as it is not hooked up to a car. The rear reflectors should be present but no lights. Could you please clarify?

The law around storing a caravan on the street is exactly as you describe it above, the reflectors being incorporated (usually) into the rear light units. However, some local councils have different rules around caravans on streets and how long you can park them for, so it is prudent to check with them first if you're planning on parking the van for more than a couple of days.
