Having now worked out the cost for the 16 nights away we used it last year ( site fees,extra fuel when towing, insurance,loan payments etc but not including food and so on) it has worked out as £240 per night!
We were at our van something like 80 days last year so we get plenty of use out of it, although it did cost a touch more than £10k. We've used it for holidays that we wouldn't have had otherwise, so every weekend can be a holiday now. We still go on other holidays too, same as we always did.
Yes, we went to the US last year and camped in a small tent for obvious reasons 🙂
Burnsybhoy does your wife find camping too intense?
That's my coat, 3 layer goretex with the OS map in the pocket.
Do you have kids? I can't see the attraction of buying a caravan unless you know you're only going to be having UK holidays for a good few years. I can't believe it's worth the hassle/expense if you intend driving it to Europe on holiday.
6 year old twins. I think I've managed to delay the issue for a while.

I imagine it drives her up the pole.
A colleague of mine said that his wife wanted a caravan. He bought one, we took the mickey out him mercilessly. Soon afterwards, she left him, and didn't take the caravan with her. Be warned.
