Owners of Hobby, Quest and Talbot brands of motorhome planning a trip to Arbroath's Red Lion Caravan Park should look elsewhere.
The Press and Journal recently revealed that the site has a policy of refusing these models as they have a reputation for being used by travellers.
It came to light when Calum and Elaine Jaffray took their daughters on a caravan holiday in their grandmother's vehicle.
On arrival at the site, they were told there was a problem as the Hobby vans are banned.
Mr Jaffray explained that he had to take his family to another facility at Tummel Bridge, where they were granted entry and allowed to continue their holiday.
Staff at the Red Lion also told the family that the position of their £58,000 mobile home's door on the opposite side from most other models was a privacy issue.
Meanwhile, caravan fans in England are able to attend the Caravan and Motorhome Show at Birmingham's NEC, which is taking place until October 18th.
