Well, what debate, but our choice is a M/home, with a toilet for whenever we need it, and it`s heated at night , we also have a fiamma awning, that can be put away wet,and a cadac to cook in the awning, or outside if we wish,but we have a full kitchen in the van to cook on also,as for parking in restricted places, it is not a problem, as we tow a car  and in the boot there are our mobility scooters, so really we don`t have any problems, we just seem to manage what ever we do in our van.

Think this year is to follow old meet friends for 2014.
If you cant do someone a good turn,don`t do them a bad one,its nice to be nice you know,and little things mean much more later in life.

Well I am considering buying a caravan, in a year or so and so far having looked at many, have decided on a used 2 year old or so, Adria SportLine PX (aka Altea Tay 432PX).
But after reading some of these posts, I am starting to wonder if owning a caravan is more trouble than it's worth?
For now though I will be sticking with the Tent, which cost me just £699 new back in 2008, and serves us well for our only holiday each year, fortnights camping in the South of France during July, and I have to say damp has never been an issue.
From what I can tell nearly all caravans have built in obsolescence, and using more plastic in them is just a way of slightly extending the life, why oh why don't they just build the things properly in the first place.
From what I have read the only caravans that are built to last are Eriba and AirStream, so it is possible.

Ah, well ... with that sort of set-up I can well understand your stance.
What's the ginormous box on the back of yout MH?

That was on our old van, it`s a fiamma back box,all sorts went in it, our new one has a rear entry under seat storage, so the back box went whit the van when we sold it.
