Static mobile homes aside at the likes of Butlins (and 'cottage style' in the South of France), I have stayed in a pikey wagon 3 times in my life:

once when I was about 5, my auntie/uncle (not real relatives) looked after a campsite on Norfolk coastline, and gave us a caravan for a week;

once about 10yrs ago after a bad camping in tent trip, borrowed Mrs TheBoy's dads van to go to Matlock/Buxton;

lastly, the very first OOF meet - on bloody cold night at Santa Pod 15th October 2006 - last minute decision to borrow a van, as weather had turned bloody cold, and she thought a tent would be too cold.  As it happened, no sleep anyway due to the spotty chavs revving the nuts off their chavved up corsas

So, I feel I can say with some authority, caravans should be banned.

Is this so you can tow your caravan without ruinning your own cars?

Based on this reply and the question of used to be a caravaner, I will go with AA. I think Broocie is looking for or already has a van.

After being an avid user of canvas for many a year, finally succommed to a tin tent at the summertime.  Its on a seasonal pitch, however, so does not clog up the roads like other 'weekend pikeys' do....   Still like canvas tents though....   :y

  • see who voted for what.
  • adjust postcounts

Would take someone braver than me to imply that you are a pikey TB!
Well done H21! ::)
