I can't see how anybody can be jealous of caravanners, you can get a good one off ebay for under £500. My neighbours are flying off to Florida, I'm only going to the south of flippin' France...again.

I like the Clarksons or Ground Hogs. That gave me a smile. I have to say tho, that most of the folk who know us are very happy to talk about our travels and their's. Be they in a hotel, or us in the van. Of-course most of the people we know are all ex military and we visit mostly military history places, so there is a common denominator. That said I wouldnt engage the nay sayers, As a wise man once said " You've done nothing when you've bested a fool "

I liked Clarksons health and safety carvanning video,  it just makes me wonder what he got  his DR for it cant be his brains as hes all comedy,  mind you last night he did have a great go at two jags prestcot, over the roads so take him with a pinch of salt and if you still dont like him press the button.  he is crazy and it does break boredom.

My friends all love our caravan - it might not be for them but they can recognise what we see in it.  Anyway, my enthusiasm is very infectious Im normally pretty good at getting people to come around to my way of thinking!!!

One of my friends used to laugh at us for caravanning until she spent over 24hrs in an overcrowded airport when her flight was cancelled only to lose her luggage when she finally got there and had a similar fate coming back! She still hasn't got a caravan of her own but at least appreciates a bit more why we do it!

I always though that none caravanners were airport sleepers
or battleship cruisers (well those who went to libya for their holiday)......

Aren't we just as bad as those who term caravanners in a derogatory manner when we then call them names for being non-caravanners??

Just a thought...

We love it when people take the mick, especially when they get back from their single solitary one week package holiday of the year and then moan about it,
Their missing out,
Leaves more room for us on sites

But those of us caravanners who are wealthy enough to jet off to sunny destinations between caravan trips can laugh at everybody.
