After our very first new caravan was returned to us with a fag burn in one of the seats after lending it to friends for the week, I vowed and declared never to let anyone loose with one of our caravans ever again, and thirty years on we have still stuck to that rule.

However, were not mean, and realise that sometimes family would like to have a break with us too, so we have invested in a Kampa 390 awning with a 3 berth inner tent, as well as a Quecha 4 man Pup tent, so we can comforably sleep a family of five whilst we are away ourselves with our Caravan. The visitors know that they are responsible fore their own transport to and from the site, as well as any extra pitch fees incurred due to the extra occupancy.

Its worked well upto now, and quite a few weekend visitors have been accomodated, and a good time had by all, who were all experianced campers and caravanners as teenagers and children, and now grown up with families of their own, but are all struggling to make ends meet bringing up their families and cannot really afford a holiday of their own.

where would it end if you did lend it to them? Would it then be expected everytime they needed a holiday. Just be brave and say No. Wouldn't lend mine out to anyone and that includes the wife....
