yes we are caravanners and my wife often asks the same thing.

infact we were away not long ago and my wifey made us some luverly grub and the family next to us said oh we never use cooker barbeque only for us dont want smells in van .

then on the other hand we are all funny in our own little way i guess

Err...  how about because we pay for them in our site fees just like you do in your tent, or perhaps it is because we don't like to do jobbies in our cassette toilet, or because when showering we would like the opportunity of unlimited water rather than the 10 litres of water in our water heaters, or even that is is sometimes difficult for a family of 4 to get ready at the same time in the van.We never use the washing up points though, only ever wash the dishes in the van.

So, other than the toilet block we do everything in the luxurious surroundings  of our multi-thousand pound caravan, using the toilet blocks simply for convenience and the fact that paying for the facilities is not optional so we may as well get what we pay for. Take a fiver a night off my site fees and I may have a rethink though!

I used to be a very happy tenter too, but I was kidding myself!!!

We always use our own facilities, we know when its available, don't have to traipse around the campsite in the wet or wait for other people.

Funny that, because the same inability to empty the cassette runs in my family too.


To the original poster, why on earth would you want to camp in a tent when you have the option of a, as you put it, luxurious caravan?
From personal opinion I'd rather drop one in a room a little bigger than a coffin stood upright for the toilet fairy to whisk it away for me, but on the half a dozen times I'm in a farmers field with a tap and a hole in the ground in the Yorkshire Dales I can deal with it.

To answer your question, each to his own is my guess dude
