Hi Thanks for all your oppinions,

The main worry for us is that we are able to keep the type of holiday that we love about tenting, but with more comfort and like someone has already mentioned my husband has  images  of lines of caravans which he hates. I think we have already made up our minds...well me and the girls have and faced with 3 females constantly pointing out the positives of a caravan my husband doesn't stand a chance!! Now all we need is to save the pennies.

Thnaks again.

I am in the same frame of mind as yourself, camped or years, now looking at caravans due to getting old (40 now) and luv setting up the tent etc but hate packing away. (especialy in rain)

I am reading this caravan section to try to get as much knowledge as possible about touring caravans, so as when i do go to buy next year I know what to look for.

We are mum, dad and 2 teenage daughters, (and a granny or kids friend depends who accompany us), hubby is wary of towing although we already have a trailer, that gets over filled to bursting point.

i feel as if I'm cheating on my beloved camping roots for even thinking about a caravan, but my old bones might thank me.

I wish caravan manufacturers would switch on to fact lots of people are campers who move to wanting bit more comfort. However it always seems big leap from tent (or trailer tent) to towing 24 foot caravan. There is a market for a good looking smallish caravan. They dont have to be ugly white boxes. Even people who have them apologise.

My caravana is not an ugly white box!

What shape do you think they should be? Might be a bit difficult to have a round, triangle etc shape caravan. There ARE different caravans for different needs.
