I used to Caravan a lot as a Solo mum with 5 daughters, due to my husband working away a lot, and being unable to take the time off work to accompany us much. This was mainly back in the 1990s and upto he retired in 2006.
My girls were aged between 3 to 14 at the time, and sometimes the eldest ones would bring a friend along too.
We stayed on family sites, often ones we knew well and had been to before, never wild camped, and stayed within about 125miles of home. People were very friendly and helpfull in general, and we sometimes went away with the Caravan club rallies so we knew other people who were attending from the same centre. We owned a big lightweight Avondale Olympus 5 berth at the time, but we could easily sleep 7, the little ones by toping and tailing on the 7ft long cross double berths, which were situated both at the front and rear of our caravan.
We never used the awning when l was away solo, mainly due to an inciedent involving a peeping tom that happened to us as Tent campers, up on a campsite near Alton Towers, Although we always felt totally safe within our caravan, especially as we used to take our big dog with us most of the time who offered us some further protection with her deep loud bark as gaurd dog during the night.
