Caravan owners have been annoying the Cornish for years.
For that I salute them.

I just sold one. Our needs had changed but loved it while we had it.
Towing always felt like a proper challenge too - my caravan was over 7m long.

pikey!

Caravan owners should only be allowed to tow between the hours of 12:00am and 5:00am any other time if they are caught their caravan should be blown up on the spot.

I am a considerate driver, I'll still be considerate with a van on the back

Let's see a pic then.

Wise words Kuco, anyone holding the traffic up shouldn't be allowed on the road. Don't even get me started on cyclists.

Top tip: overtaking people in convertible sports cars whilst towing a caravan is one of the most entertaining activities within the (non towing) speed limit.

Bargain!! If i had somewhere to keep it i'd buy one of those just to take to Mayhem every year!

My mates arrived at the head of Glen Clova yesterday after being unable to overtake a Sunday driver for 12 miles who was diving at 30mph, unaware that anything was behind him.
'Are you a visitor to this country?' asks mate.'Because in this country its customary to pull over and let cars which are obviously moving faster than you to pass'
Sunday driver replies, 'The speed limit is 30mph' in a Weegie accent
'No its not, I think you'll find its 60mph'It decended into a farcical argument with us looking for dog sh*t to smear in his door handles.

MrTall - that's basically what I am thinking. Keep it stocked with dishes etc, so just lob food, clothes and bikes in it and you're ready to go. Then when everyone else is shivering away in tents with damp and mud everywhere, you are clean, warm, cosy and dry

what nonsense. i think 3.00am and 3.15am is more than adequate?edit add - to be fair i use one when me and the bro go motorbike racing and it is a life saver when it rains, which is mostly. There should be a law requiring a minimum of 150bhp for the towing vehicle though!

I'm sure if they clogged up your counties roads & make it a made it a much scarier proposition to ride a bike out on the roads you'd share a similar Top Gearesque hatred for them & their owners..

I hate top gear and the idiots who believe the pap. I'd love a caravan.

I certainly got quite cross when I watched them trashing a number of perfectly servicable campervans in a race. I'd love one of them but they all seem to be incredibly pricey.

One of my most amusing memories of caravaning was when I overtook 5 cars at once going up the hill out of Kincardine (on Forth).
As advised above my car, an Alfa GTV6, had adequate power for embarrassing the non towing fraternity.

Samurai - define pricey.
I just looked at a great 2 berth one, shower, hot water, blown air heating, motor mover, no damp, two awnings, £1k.
Oh and the towing car is 140bhp diesel so should be sufficient

£1k is a great price for that spec, Dad sold his for twice that last year and could have got more for it.

Once your at your destingation caravans are great. No hassle of erecting a tent. Just remember to put the legs down before you go in! made that mistake a couple of times..

We took a caravan to clic 24 last year it pissed with rain and we had lots of people looking for an excuse to pop round for tea

Feeling a little weird about it cos it's basically like someone else's house that was cheaply decorated 20 years ago.
I reckon though, a bit of work, a bit of living and it'll be alright. Guy was a smoker though - the van smelt really strongly of cleaning products, so I dunno if it'll stink of fag smoke when that wears off.
Although I couldn't detect a trace when I went in.

hmmm, that does sound better than a really expensive van that I have to drive down the shops in.....
I might start looking myself now, if I can get a decent one for a grand of thereabouts.
You know, I used to look forward to fights kicking off in pubs so I could get stuck in, I used to get blind drunk and have sex with proper boilers in the backs of cars and look at me now....considering buying a caravan.

2 berth ones are way cheaper than 4-5 berth. Also (I've found) there are a lot of dodgy geezers about dealing caravans, so go for private sales.
We were in a caravan place the other day that also had campervans. They had an H reg small VW van thing for NINE FRIGGING GRAND! H reg! Camper vans are an absolute ripoff.

Are you going to tow it with a Toyota Pious?
Posted 1 year ago # -
I would, but they can't tow
And it's Prius, not pious. Pious is what people call them when they feel the need to imagine people driving around in them feeling like they are better than everyone, when in fact people just want to save a bit of fuel.

Uhuh.

The reality was far far stranger...

I got completely sick and tired of it raining at races and the fact that my wife and kids had to 'shelter' in a poxy tent for the entire weekend. So I bought a cheap caravan. Nowt wrong with it, I've spent some money on it though and got an awning too.
It's great at 24 hour races, especially when I can get a good night's sleep the night before and I'm not worried about the kids spending the weekend in that bloody tent. I CAN STAND UP TO GET CHANGED, HAVE A SLASH IN A PROPER BOG AND COOK FOOD ON A REAL COOKER AND KEEP MY BEER IN THE FRIDGE FFS.
We go on loads of little holidays in it now as well, which our 2 girls love.
Get one. They're fookin brilliant, caravans.
