I don't think the problem is particularly the big units, but the tendency for people to proliferate vehicles for convenience. So one karter has a camper, a tent, a trailer, a vehicle driven by his mechanic, the mechanic's tent, a vehicle driven by the driver's wife and a vehicle driven by the mechanic's wife (because they want to be independent and only stay a while. All are parked in the pits, all supporting just one kart.

Some tracks try to put the 'not in use' vehicles (the motorhome, the wives' cars and the 'hospitality tent' in the case above) more distant from the 'working pit' and it is surprising the resentment that this seems to cause. People who will happily walk a couple of miles round the pits in the day object highly to parking their car/ accomodation vehicle a hundred yards away.

The trouble is that once you start enforcing the rule, you find the motorhome suddenly stores the spare set of spanners so it becomes a 'pitting' vehicle.

I realise that there is another problem. You dont want to leave thousands of pounds of valuable equipment in a tent a hundred yards away without some sort of security, and rottweilers aren't a solution.
