I really don't know what it is about caravans? ..You either love them or hate them if you listen to populous. My theory is that you only hate them if you'd love to have one but can't, for whatever reason, have one LOL.
Take my husband for example, he hated caravans so I started talking about the lovely holidays I had when my children were young. We also talked about not seeing enough of this beautiful country we live in but I didn't like the idea of touring using bed and breakfasts. Now I'm not knocking all B&B establishments but I have stayed in some shockers in my time, so the thought of laying my head on any more pillows where a strangers head has been, be it with a clean pillow case,turns me off completely.
Anyway one day we had nothing planned so I said to Steve ..let's go to a local caravan dealer to have a look at the caravans, "ok" he said "only looking though" ;-)) Well by the time we left we had put a deposit on a 4 year old Avondale Dart 380/2. It was a lovely looking caravan and we both fell in love with it .. a fatal emotion as it turned out as the caravan leaked like a sieve! The only good thing about it was that by the time we had been away in it a few times and had come to the conclusion that we couldn't stop the leaks, Steve was hooked on caravanning!
So it was back to the dealer and a trade in for Baby.
Anyway, since we bought ours, my three children have also gone out and bought caravans .. we have turned into a touring family. I have just seen my eldest daughter off for their first weekend in their new (to them) Bailey Discovery 400, an ideal 5 berth caravan for them and my three grandchildren.
So I come back to my original question .. what is it about caravans? from the minute you step inside one (even if it's parked outside the house) you feel relaxed and at ease with the world, strange isn't it?.
