Fucking horrible things, all they seem to do is cause accidents. Was stuck in traffic for over an hour, because some tard, wrapped his caravan round his car and smashed down the barrier of the m6 / m55.
What pleasure do people actually have with them? They're just dangerous, should be a campervan or nothing imo.

I don't see many on the 90 mile commute per day. On my drive down to Wales on the weekends i see loads over the summer.
Nightmere but cheap holidays for familys.

M6 has been shut because of 2 people being run over near junction 17. Was shut from about dinner time and is still shut northbound. More than likely it was caused by that. If not its people not paying attention when the traffic slows.

They arent even cheap holiday. If you want a nice second hand one your looking at £4000-5000 minimum.
You could have 2-3 family holidays abroad for that (spain or something of the like)

Fucking hell Chloe, how many more kids you planning on having 
In related news, I was stuck behind a caravan for 20 FUCKING MILES the other day, all because 3 or 4 other numpties sat behind it and didn't want to overtake.

Maybe a weekend in north wales isnt a holiday for me......
I was just basing it on people i know. They must spend 4 week a year in it, and cost them nearly £20000 (brand new). Then they chop them 3 years later for £6000

I was down a lane the other week, must have been about 15-20 cars, with nowhere for the tractor to pull in, I ended up overtaking, and then feeling a class a cunt, because I met another car, they all had to reverse

On holiday you are suppose to relax. Not sleep in a cold box in a muddy field smelling everyones toilet matter. Cooking cleaning and wishing you were home in a comfy bed.

from the door back it the bathroom, has a massive walk in shower, the toilet doesnt smell, thats why you buy blue and pink toilet liquid to break down the shite and stop the smell, it has blown air heating and a gas/electric fire so it is never cold, full sized cooker ect, not much different from being at home except it is smaller
