Caravans: A British Love Affair.

Investigating the rise of Caravanning since the 50's.

Can't wait.

Iirc, you don't actually own a caravan. You own a motorhome.

I've seen a photo of it on here and I think i'm right in believing that it is fitted will faux flames!

So, I accuse you of being a wannabee caravanner!


wink

Nope. I did have a motorhome.

I DO own a caravan now. It's on my profile.

Is it part of the BBC "motoring season" or what ever it was called? Also Ford's Dagenham Dream, The Motor Show etc?

"Oh it's the freedom!" they cry.

The freedom to park up a metal shed with substandard fixtures and fitting, no space, class or style and the freedom to st directly into a bucket and then carry it (in the same bucket) and empty it.....wherever you like. All done in the company (and in the same field, yes, a field) of other likeminded people.

There is no excuse for a caravan. None whatsoever.

Not true.

It's come in handy on several occasions when I've not been welcome in the 'marital bed' hehe

It's a good programme, but it's not really about caravanning or caravans in the broad sense, more a documentary about the boss of CI. The programme would work just as well were it mooted as a business programme, the company involved simply being a caravan manufacturer.

I've seen it before, it was on a few weeks ago. Other than one sexy old bh who must be 80-odd and must have been worth a squirt a few decades ago, it's not a very exiting programme. But I reckon you'd all guessed that...

Metal, are you sure? A metal one would be fine because that would mean an Airstream, there ok.

I think the modern ones are made out of st and balsa wood, i could be wrong
