We have an older caravan and love it we are very happy with it we owe nothing on it it's ours and are not looking to change it for a few years yet.

I can't say we have ever been refused entry or even been asked how old our caravan is...if we were asked I think I would give the site owner a pice of my mind and stay far away from said site.

Like you I don';t think the age of a caravan should come into it we all pay the same site fees and all enjoy caravaning at the end of the day if we all had the same outfit it would be very boring no more walking around the camp sites looking at all the diferent caravans (thats part of our holiday).

We had a 17 year old caravan which in all honesty was in pretty poor condition and were never asked how old it was, or in any way hidden away on a site; quite the opposite in actual fact. We were always conscious of the fact we had a tatty old caravan but in reality, I don't think anyone ever gave us a second glance.

We now have a "new" 12 year old caravan which doesn't stand out as much on sites as the old one as it looks a lot more modern ans is in better condition and don't feel as conscious of being "the poor relation" on sites.

Hi

As long as your caravan is fit for the road and safe - do not worry about its age, Europa sounds as though its last of CI brand at poss a 1980 model year poss later - very inovative brand and sold well in export markets.

Dont be ashamed - in fact your in a modern classic so be proude of it

Ps If I see you on site I will say hello and love to look at your Europa-Get Scottish Caravanner for classic tourer articles and buying used in this issue -available from all Scottish Caravan dealerships

Oh this is just urban myth with a small grain of truth. I'm sure if you turned up in an old ebay bargain caravan painted all over with flowers & covered with slogans like 'dope gets you through the times of no money better than money gets you through the times of no dope'. I'm sure most sites would would show you the gate....but otherwise you will be okay...

....But of course, beware of inverted snobbery...my caravan may be old buts its paid for, etc, blah....
