It can be towed on the pavement under uK regulations although prospective customers in other countries may wish to check and see if it is legal elsewhere. Given the caravan's diminutive scale it will have user weight limitations also and prospective customers built on the larger side should also check with the manufacturer to see if they can be accommodated.

    Europe’s political patchwork is getting a low-emission zone overlap, according to Malcolm Kent* By now, pretty much everybody in the industry will be aware of the Low Emission Zone in London, UK. But awareness of similar European zones about to start or expand might be more patchy. The background to all of these schemes is the problem of air quality, particularly European Union rules setting limits on acceptable pollution levels. It was found some years ago that several member states’ cities, including
