Why? The car pulling them is already taxed! Does that mean we should start taxing trailers, horseboxes etc. Do you not think that we are being taxed enough in this country without anyone suggesting anymore!!!!

They're only on the road for a few hours each year, so if it costs £120 to tax a car, even a tenner would be disproportionate. When you factor in the extra cost of fuel to pull them, most caravan owners already pay dearly for the priviledge. Add in the sheer number of them & realise that every caravan owner is a voter, there's not a chance. They've even got their own member in the cabinet with Margaret Beckett!
More seriously though, we're already heavily overtaxed, so I wouldn't give the bastards the excuse to even try. I nearly joined the ranks of trailer caravanners, but instead, when road tax increased I switched from a ford fiesta to a motor caravan so as to get better value in the amount of road I was using for what I had to pay out. Mega-surprise - I found I could get round the city a lot faster as I could see over the traffic & the beastie handled like a go kart, much to the grief of a car driver who tried to follow me at the same speed through a bend. Long journeys were just as quick & I found a gret benefit in traffic jams. The kids could play & my wife would make a cuppa. But guess what. We could see the scenery & we slowed down to enjoy it.
Keep your pretensions to being a boy racer in something so low you can't see above my bumper. Live tall & stress free & you'll find you're not even bothered by other motorists.

Only things that have an engine pay road tax. Bicycles and Caravans don't come into that category.

not me. they are a vital part of British Tourism and bring income to many people. if road tax was introduced then caravanners would not use their caravans and thereby cause a loss of income to many different industries.
