Thank you all for your replies, they have really helped us narrow our decisions, which are cat flap in the shed or garage door and auto feeders or rehome.

I will let the wife make the final decision!

Thanks again, much appreciated.

 is there not a trusted teenager you could pay to feed and spend some cuddle time with the cats while you are away. most cats are happy aslong as there home and fed as there not to loyal but if there an oldre teen who could do wit some extra cash with perantel back up that would be an idea we have done it in the past and it worked realy well

Well I'm going to bite the bullet and take my old cat with us this time. She loves being near me and doesn't go out much any more, so I'm going to try her coming with us. I don't like leaving her in the cattery - (although if I'm truly honest its the cost of 2 cats in the cattery that's bothering me)- and I don't like leaving her at home, with just a neighbour to feed her, for weeks on end. My OH is not working now so we can go away for longer, which is great news for us but not such great news for the cost of the cattery!

We take our cat with us in the van wherever we go.  If the site is quiet, and not too crowded she'll happily wander out for a walk and chase a few birds and squirrels.  Not that she ever catches any!  If its crowded, there's dogs nearby or its raining then she's happy to sit in the van or in the awning and watch whatever's happening outside. 

She also worked out long ago that nobody can reach her on a caravan roof either!

She travels in a cage, which I bought for about £15 on Ebay.  Its left out all the time, and she frequently goes to sleep in it at home.  Although when she's had enough of the caravan she'll go and sit in the cage and look expectant at us!
