Dunner mind camping but caravanning is just too gypsyish for me. I do have standards you know. |

Don't camp or caravan, my missus doesn't normally like anything other than 4 star brick accomodation, she sometimes drops to 3 star only now and then, that's what you get for marrying a Cheshire Lass - snobbery.  After being in the Navy and sleeping in those messdecks, I would sleep anywhere - apart from a caravan. We stayed in one once in New Quay in west wales, and those hob nail boot wearing seagulls used the static we were in as a landing strip all night long, I was less tired after having a 2 week lads holiday in Magalluf that I was that week.  |

Caravaning, you either love it or hate it. Personally, I love it. I think it depends on your first experiences of camping or caravaning. If you're lucky and when you camp or caravan and the weather is very good, then you will be hooked, but if the weather is crap then no amount of persuasion will usually get someone to ever try it again. However, I must admit to be puzzled by people who have never done either camping or caravaning who criticize it. we have Caravaned for years with my 2 kids and the freedom it gives you over hotels is amazing. Of course, self catering accommodation is the alternative, but in the summer holiday season the prices are usually astronomical for young families so a caravan or tent offers a good affordable answer. I sold our caravan 5 yrs ago and tried a large frame tent for 2 yrs running because we missed the 'campsite' experience, but we decided to repurchase another caravan because 'Tenting' was just a bit to basic for us.

pisser arthur, i was trying to be polite  Can't stand those caravans holding up the tarffic, why don't they ever pull over into a parking bay and let the queue go past? Selfish buggers |

I wouldnt mind them if when they travel at 20mph down ordinary roads they would leave the fukin curtains open at the back so you could nosey in.
Why do they always shut the curtains?
Is someone nobbing in there whilst its on the move?
