Vistaprint sell them. Be careful though. Magnetic signs blow off in the wind.

I've got magnetic signs.

We work away a lot and need to take our vehicles onto campsites - with our caravan - but they don't like sign written vehicles on most sites so I got three sets done by Signs Express - local to us in Stoke on trent.

I got mine very cheaply - you would be surprised how cheap they are. I don't encourage anyone to drive at 100mph but they are strong enough to stay on at those sort of speeds as well.

Rob ;D

My signs are years old now and still going strong, I moved them onto my trailer 18 months ago and there is rust behind them, so like jmb say's, remove them when not in use.

Ok thankyou both for that. I will only put them on at the first house, then take them off on the last job, so should be ok.

When I used them on my car, I just put them on in the morning before going to work and then removed them when I got home, the trailer is a different story, I didn't need to remove them  and now there is rust behind them.

Oh right. Is this because of water getting trapped?

Are there not any other solutions for disgusing a sign written van for a camp site?

And anyway these are people who live in tents and caravans what have they got to be snobby about?

Is it more to do with discriminating against travellers?

I could always use the netting that the army use in forests etc.

Not really alternatives - they don't like vans never mind sign written ones. There is this perceived problem on campsites that if you are towing a caravan with a van that you are a gypo.

I think it is also coupled with an element of I'm too far up my own a*se to have you park that horrible commercial vehicle anywhere  near my lovely caravan.

I have been refused access to so many caravan sites that I have to spend a good day trying to get us on sites when we go away for work.

At one I was booked in and had paid and when we got there he did not want us on site -I argued and told him what I thought of him but then went on to spend about £600.00 on camp site fees somewhere else - his loss!!!
