Newest Review: ... those ambling caravans. The pretty curtains bob along as the caravan sways around corners, and you sit behind watching. But you are going to your holiday cottage in the middle of open countryside. It sounds ideal from the brochure description - “original features, cosy atmosphere.” All the advantages of the countryside without the bother of towing a bulky home on wheels behind you. ... more

 ... OUTSIDE LOOS! Caravanning holidays, in your mind, mean a trek across a muddy field to the toilet block, which are not always clean and certainly cold on chilly mornings! A holiday cottage is much better you think! How different when you arrive! The atmosp...more

CARAVANNING - an experience I am writing this review based on my own experiences, perhaps it is somewhat biased, but hopefully it will give you all something to think about. Are caravans a nuisance on the roads? Well, they are if you are behind one on a narrow road and they are traveling at a snail’s pace, but remember courtesy on the roads! There is enough road rage with or without caravans!!! As for taxing them, I have mixed views on this. Perhaps they should be taxed, they do take up space and cause wear and tear on the roads, but I am not really in favour of taxing them. Anyway, read on and hopefully you will have a broader view of ...

Everyone thinks caravans cause holdups, but what they don't realise is, it isn't the caravan that's holding you up, it's the driver who doesn't know how to tow it. I have been towing for a long time, and can honestly say, I have never been the reason for a hold up on the roads. I tow fast enough to keep traffic moving, and good enough to not get myself into situations that are going to inconvenience other drivers. On main roads, caravans can often be found at the front of a line of traffic, and all the solo drivers behind are moaning because it isn't going fast enough, but then I bet, if that BMW driver behind moaning suddenly had ...

Caravans, hmm. Amusing though it may seem, but it is every Englishman's right to drag his home round the country behind his car and cause countless traffic jams for every other motorist to sit in and enjoy. Seriously though, my parents own a caravan, snigger! And the money that they have spent on it I can honestly say that for me I can think of better things to spend the money on it. I think I could go to Japan twice a year for 10 years with the money. Okay so their caravan is nice inside. But it is a box on wheels. It might have its own shower and toilet, cooker and fridge but its still a box on wheels. For me a holiday is a nice ...
