Just wanted to ask, How can you tow 'behind' a caravan?

A caravan so small it can be towed              behind a mobility scooter or caravan  

   will be taken for a spin by comedian Paul Merton as part of his documentary series on British Holidays

puzzled ???

I agree the Cornish site featured (Haven I believe from OPs) looked dreadful.  No-one has come up with the name of the very first site though someone did know the helpful chaps.

I think it would have been nice if he could have stayed at different sites and, as mentioned previously, showed some actual living in the caravan, instead acting as if he was simple minded.  Wonder which posh hotels he stayed in?

he's a comedian it was all tongue in cheek !!

I agree the cornish site looked erm terrible

Hi, I watched it too, bit disappointing, did learn three things though, 1. how to tow caravan illegally, 2 how not to reverse caravan, and 3 the most important one not to go near Haven sites,( from past experience, crap and very expensive)

Bit disappointed.  Thought the best bit was the start when he pitched on rather a nice looking campsite and was assisted in pitching by two very helpful campers!  Anyone know which site that was?

Found it quite funny really. At least at the end he did say that he wasnt looking forward to the prospect of a caravan holiday but actually enjoyed it. Noticed he had a brand new Swift and was towing it with a Disco.

Watched the series and found it entertaining and funny.

Grrr, when they lent him the caravan, why didn't Swift kit him out with towing mirrors?!

I thought that 4x4s didn't need towing mirrors?

Was it wider?  I've seen loads of 4x4s without towing mirrors, and by and large they are wider than a normal car surely? And it was a disco he was driving.

Croft Park and Woodland Waters were used!
