Why can’t these people get on a plane to go on holiday like normal people do…
ive travelled a fair bit on planes. seen some nice places.
however the last thing i want to do for a holiday is to spend hours sitting at a poxy airport. fly to spain, stop in a crappy hotel, eat a full english and then make my way to an english bar and watch sky sports till the wee hours and puke up everywhere. then on return to the uk. spend another 3 hours waiting to clear customs because there are twenty thousand foreigners in front of me.
it should be like in the states.
2 ques. them and us.
guess which que would be longer.
And me, finished with Spain about 20 years ago, I now go to places like Australia, Bali, Thailand, Singapore and the like. Happy days…

You don’t have to do that though do you? It isn’t compulsory to have that kind of holiday, you could go somewhere and just chill out or see some sights and actually do something you might not do at home.
As for the delays at the airport, fair enough they are a pain. One lot of annoyance at one end of the holiday, one at the other. In between that time people who use hotel holidays do not have to plug in their own electricity, attatch their own water or gas and I have never had to clean my own chemical toilet, erect my own balcony (or awning as caravanners like to call them) or prepare my own food in a kitchen that I will later have to clean. I don’t have to clean my own bedding or walk to the communal shower block either. Handily, people usually build hotels near to places people might actually like to visit rather than in a cabbage patch five miles from anywhere.
For the money people spend on caravans (20grand for one ffs! ), fuel, extras to enhance their ‘experience’ you could have a trip to Australia, America and Italy and still have cash left to go out on the ■■■■, watch Sky Sports and throw up after! Happy vanning!
hammer:
Fibreglass shed pullers should only be allowed on the road between 10pm and 6am. After all, as they always tell us - “we have everything we need in the caravan” so it shouldn’t be too much of a problem for them to pull over for a few hours should it?
You really want to be unable to pull into a layby for a 45 because every single one is full of caravans?
Just live and let live, they’ve paid their road tax same as you and me or do I find it easy to say that because I drive the second slowest truck in the world so only get held up by tractors. Caravans are fine but I prefer the static variety.
NB: Some of the combinations you see are definately unsuitable. No way a diesel vectra should be legal pulling a big two axle van. I mean how much does a caravan weigh anyway?

But what if you don’t want to go to these places, I certainly have no desire to go to Australia,I’ve been to the States and thought it was a ■■■■ hole and if I want to go to Italy I’ll go in the caravan
It beats me why some people seem to want to dictate to total strangers how to spend their leisure time
Who would like to predict the date of which sally traffic will mention somwhere in her traffic report something to do with a caravan for the first time this year - unless this has already been done
Has anyone ever been pulled by wheel tappers/trafic cops towing a caravan on way to their holiday destination , and had their digi tacho card looked at in the process, at the same time?
Say you had your digi card looked at but drive a mix of digi and analouge would you be screwed if you didnt have the paper ones as well for your 28 days despite being on holiday

I go to Cuba in July and will be cruising the Red sea at Christmas and I know the sun will be shining…
If you need to brighten a day,buy a caravan,go too a site,sit outside your van with a beer
and watch some of them trying too get on their pitch !!! It really is worth the money!
if you want to upset a caravanner and have a laugh at the same time. then pull behind them when they park up in a layby and ask for a coffee and a bacon roll.
