Ok again I'm spoiling you all with 2 tonight. So Caravans Nuisance on the road and a box on wheels Or Such a great family get away Me... Love my Holidays abroad, but caravanning comes first. Me and the wife both did it and have fond memories each, now we want to keep both out childhood and pass it on to our children. So holiday nightmare or holiday bliss. Remember as always each to their own
traded my caravan for a motorhome 5 years ago,absolutely love it,off to france next Monday,spending a couple of weeks staying on vinyards and French aires.We use the French passion scheme which costs 24 quid a year, thereafter all stopovers are free with no obligation to buy their produce,but we do
You Arabs always doing a deal I wanted to swap you my wife, not send me the same one Back (Oh does it cook and clean )
I think they are brilliant, I mean you don't get drivers towing caravans going over the speed limit or thinking they are faster than a Ferrari, or blocking the roads do you. Only time they should be allowed on any road, seriously, is between midnight and six am. Oh and hgv's should only be allowed on the road between 10pm and 7 am !
Blue Audi drivers should only be allowed on the road to get Fish and Chips , between the times of 11.30 am to 2pm and 4pm to 7pm
We went the other way , we sold our Motorhome and got a caravan. The motorhome was great abroad, but over here unless you have a flashy one , other owners get very snooty !! You dont get that as much with the caravanners.
Everyone should be made to drive with a caravan on tow the experience shows you how inpatient and ignorant folk are, the roads would be a much more pleasant place.
I cannot imagine pulling a shed any distance so that I can call it a holiday, while I live, sleep, **** and shower in such a confined space. Then drag it home again. No offence to anyone passionate about them, they are not my idea of a holiday. Big no to camping as well. **** that.
It depends how you look at confined space we stopped at a site in the Lake district in May with a babbling brook to one side and Blencathera mountain range to the other?
we are always in it mark,even in the winter.If we don't go abroad we usually go up Scotland,absolutely no snobbery up there with motorhomes,but as in france we don't use caravan sites,we wild camp everywhere,so we never have anyone near us to get snotty.I cant do with caravan club sites,full of silly old cnuts looking over the top of their specs,especially when both dogs jump out or I have to get the genny out first so we can get at the chairs
Another thing that made us change was the fact that everywhere we went while on holiday had to be in the motorhome, as you will know thgere are no always the most easy to park up in small towns! With the caravan we can drop off the van and nip anywhere in the car! I know we could have towed a car behind the motorhome as a lot tend to do, but it seemed a silly way to do things. I loved it in France, they have got it sorted for the the "campercars" etc there. plenty of aires and they are in most towns !
we have the push bikes on the back so we can get around if need be,but to be honest we don't miss the car one bit.As for towing one,well,thats the most pointless thing I see,you may as well have a caravan. Some of the French aires we've stayed on have been fantastic,all the rules go out of the window and everybody is friendly,they all like a guzzle of wine so it home from home for us two,we can get pi55ed with the best of them. we are on about heading for the southwest this time,down by millau,for a few days,then we are going to go back to the grand ballon and try and see the tour de france as they go over it....cant wait mate.
Millau is awesome place. Stunning road bridge !! I believe it is the highest in the World of its kind.
Ban the feckers off the road in daylight hours Caravans are self flagellation. Like a bit of luxury missen, I'm driving to France this summer to stay in a farmhouse. The idea of firstly towing a tin box a thousand miles, spending two weeks in the fecker and then having to drag it back is an image of purgatory (conceptually of course, not in the strict theological sense) to me
