see thats it in a nut shell, why do you need to drag one around... when you can rent a sited one. its cheaper, no maintenance, dont need a big truck to pull one


i just dont see the point in owning a caravan, and despite being a tiny nuisance on the road, they are often really unsightly in front gardens and driveways etc... that the bit i find selfish about caravans.

if i put a big container in my front garden the neighbors ( if i had any) would rightly complain

as stated in another post they are a fire hazard in gardens they should not be allowed there are building regs for sheds for fire hazard etc but not caravans... they should be put into caravan storage places...

thats it end of moan :?

Your posts seem to contradict themselves bud. :?

:
come on guys lets just keep this post open for the caravaners of the world, we seem to spoil all the caravan posts, and it just seems a little unfair

i too don't like them on the roads , but hey if that's there thing lets not knock it,

it should be a giggle reading how they have improved caravans with full size cookers, fridges , heating showers etc... so lets see if they have found a nice way to empty the toilet

a lot of confused stuff in there!

there are no regs for sheds!
and if its miore than 15 meters form your house you can build a 'shed' of any materials that covers half the area of your garden with no planning permission, no buuilding regs required as long as it is not to be a dewlling!


that is current planning law!

now a caravan is a road vehicle and as such is subject ot all kind of regulations! and when parked on your own property no bigger than a transit van or simmilar and perfectly legal.

I think some people take top gear antics too seriously :

pheww I was worrying about my shed :

In all seriousness its each to their own and dont get up tight about someone elses interests.

Good example is I hate Spanish "sunshine resort holidays" doesnt mean I'm right and several hundred thousand people are wrong . I'll cheerfully see them off at the airport because it leaves more space over here for MY CARAVAN : : :

You a van dealer plank :?:

Youre right plank, we are very mains dependant. Whenever I pitch up anywhere I can live without site showers toilets etc (on board) so long as I've got a cold water supply and 240v :wink: oh and beer in the fridge 8)

So much for roughing it :
What else is a caravan fridge for? :wink:
Looked at one van over the weekend 28 feet long..10 feet wide.. No water :cry:
Paul, by the weekend you had missed all of the clod weather it was positivley balmy by then :

I have spent many happy times in the carvans you describe as 'dry' correctly known as travellers trailers, to be honest i have never understood the need for al the attatchments and gadgets, of a wet van, we never use any of them they are just there! i do have a water pump but it is in the gas bottle locker and has never been plugged in!

I used to have one caravan an old buccaneer with all the cut glass an leather and it had a wood burning stove, that was both fantastic and damn hard work at the same time, it is both missed and fondly remembered but I dont want another :wink:

ok ... well its no secret i dont like caravans for all the reasons i have stated, my family all own caravans , as stated in previous posts all garaged too so no spoiling views etc

i would suggest that my posts are not Contradicting,,, i thought it would be novel to ask people to not gang up on the roamers in that post so we can actually see what there point actually is

i cant see the point of caravans and think its only fair they have a chance to spread the word maybe convert us all... to the fine are of getting the s*it out of the can after it has been locked in a tin/fiberglass box for a week


really i dont think im going to sign up for that club
