Do you pay road tax on a caravan?

A caravan is not required to be taxed. However different local rules, the police or the local council may affect parking your caravan on the road.

Do I need insurance for a caravan?

By law, you don't have to buy caravan insurance, but without it, you won't be protected from theft or damage. To tow a caravan with a car, car insurance is enough by law on the road, But just having car insurance only gives you third party cover – which means there's no cover for your caravan if it's damaged or stolen.
