We went on our first ever caravan trip last weekend and it was excellent!

Can't wait to go away again in a few weeks!

I REALLY enjoyed having a walk around the site of an evening & being nosey to see what everyone else has got!

There was a really large caravan there that was towable but it was like a lorry with the cab bit missing where, presumably, the tow car sits. (large jeep thingy) I think they had a foreign plate but I am interested to know the make so that I can have a 'google' and be nosey re: the floorplan etc!

Does anyone know what it could be?

This would be what is commonly referred to as a '5th wheeler', technically a 'Semi-trailer'. Very popular in the states, don't know if there are any UK manufactured but certainly quite a few imports about and have been piccies of them on here from time to time.....Mick

See here.  If you go to a motorhome show you will see various other companies that do demountables too.  I have been in one of the fifth wheel ones, the owners are lovely we were talking to the lady for quite some time and the units out of this world.

Definitely sounds like a 5th wheeler to me too.

I thought they looked fantastic when I first saw them - but most (not all) are big & heavy and you need a dedicated tow pickup truck because of the strange hitch (it looks like a hole/socket in the pickup bed base). If you have a look on USA ebay theres usually a pretty good selection.

I decided to wait until the lottery win then ..... well who knows.

Please you enjoyed your holiday.

Thank you guys, that was exactly what we saw! - Amazing!

Now I come to think of it, their number plate was from Texas USA

They certainly give you the right amount of space for long time travelling but I certainly wouldn't want to tow it!
