Some advice needed by a newbie!
SWMBO has decided it'd be a nice ide to get a "caravan" to take the kids on cheap holidays. We have already holidayed in a tent but SWMBO found it a bit basic! She especially disapproved of sleeping in the thing! So..a caravan type thing it has to be!
The car we'd use for towing is a 1.9 diesel berlingo so whatever we choose can't be too big or heavy. If possible, we'd like to store it in a garage so that rules out a full sized conventional caravan. It'll need to sleep 4 people. Cooking and toilet facilities would be nice but not 100% essential. I *think* a trailer tent will be too tent like for SWMBO so would prefer alternative ideas.
So..are folding caravans any good? Any particular brands to go for/avoid? Could I use a small folding caravan and a huge awning?
I'd also toyed with the idea of buying a really small caravan with 4 berths in for sleeping in and using a huge awning for living/cooking in. Are there any small caravans available? (I saw a small one t'other day on the motorway..think it was german and the brand name began with an "E")
Any advice greatfully received!
