We started with a caravan as we had one when I was a little person, but pennies got short so we sold up and bought a tent in the sales. Had the tent for 8 years now but have decided just this weekend  to get a caravan so we can get away later in the year, when I think its a bit too chilly for a tent, hopefully we will be able to keep tent as well.I don't think there's too much difference apart from caravans being warmer and you can't watch terrential rain pooling on the roof wondering if you're going to spring a leak!

Hi there,

We bought a tent last year  so we could go on a family holiday (after camping for about 15 years in 'ready erected' Eurocamp type tents) .  Have to say we (hubby and I) are now thinking about buying a small 'Eriba' type caravan so that we can just 'go' at weekends if the weather is nice, hubby not great about setting up. Think it will give us spontaneity but at a cost (hope the spelling is right!!!)  Also when we retire am planning a long tour (like the Victorians used to do); happy days, hopefully .
