Try going caravanning you tit ! you speak with the air of a mentally deranged chimp molester who has never been near a proper site. the types of people who inhabit these idyllic havens are often very much the upper middle class. So go back to the stables and carry on mucking out you bloody peasant !

caravans are fine, its all the rest of us that as you say 'SB' that rush about, not giving enough time for the journey ahead. at least with a caravan you plan things proplery. there is always the minority that spoil thins for the majority though.
given that i spent my youth in the west country most of the caravans did the limit anyway!
Yes i do think anyone with a caravan should have lessons on how to pack and tow as most of them you see are so laden down its a wonder they can stop, or that they seam to have the back of the car towing them scraping the ground or in the airDT_Xtremez_42:

Sorry peeps, but I really do enjoy trundling down the motorway dragging my van watching all the loonies hammering past because they are in such a rush...great feeling.
Mind you, when not towing a van I am one of them loonies.
Extra driving test, yep I would go along with that.
Extra road tax, in one way I would be happy with that as you take up more road space, but someone suggestion you should pay due to fuel consumption ala 4x4's, bolox, on a motorway run I still get 38 to the gallon. Better than a fair few cars I would suggest.
Would suggest maybe an MOT type of test for caravans as well, testing brakes, lights, gas fittings, suspension, tyres...
However, as for the nobbers who 'don't understand about going on holiday in a box and peeing in a bucket'...**** off, thats the point, you don't understand. Personnally I never go to a site without a Shower/Toilet block, and as I would generally be out all day and most of the night I can normally manage somewhere to have a **** without using the bog in the van.

CL sites are where the best of the folk go anyway, you get all the Chavvy "caravanning must be cool so I'll do it to" types at the sites with facilities, all you need is a tap and a drain. Try it, you might learn something to help keep your bills down too !

To be fair mate, Paighton, a couple of weeks ago, roasting hot weather, a decent shower and a crapper, overlooking the River Dart, £15.00 a night, gotta be happy with that.
Each to their own fella !!

Burn a caravan a day and join the campaign for road safety!
You can start with BMW's first, made by robots, driven by arseholes.

All caravans should be taxed and MOT'd.
Who wants to take their kitchen sink away on holiday anyway.
Just like being a snail really.

Typical woman DT_Xtremez_31: Concentrating on the creature comforts. All you need is a bed, a bog, a fridge, a BBQ and some flat grass to set it all up and cook and get pi$$ed. If you honk, move your an to another pitch the following day ! Easier than cleaning a carpet isn't it ! DT_Xtremez_30:

Right then this is the choice!
Holidays in hotels abroad mmmmmmmm... waiting around at airports before the flight thats if they leave on time,which they seldom do!Screaming kids jumping in the hotel pool when all you want is peace and quiet.Even worse late at night tears because they are tired and should be in bed.Cramped beaches when you have to fight for your little bit of space.Brits in union jack shorts making fools of themselves piddled up to the eyebrows.Being turfed out of your room before 10 the morning at the end of your stay so the staff can clean your room.Cockroaches and hotel break ins.The overall expense of holidays abroad during the kids school holidays.
Or...creature comforts for 6 weeks away each year instead of 2!
Sorry guys and gals this gets my vote every damn time.Caravans are brilliant.I wish I had discovered this years ago.Long live the Caravan ClubDT_Xtremez_28:

We have an unhealthy obsession with foreign countries, the sun, etc. You can go caravanning in this country and still drink beer. If you want a David Dickinson tan, get some fake tan slapped on! Personally the weather has never bothered me. If you want to behave like mr brit abroad you still can. Just expect everyone to take the **** out of your union jack shorts and towel.

Says the man who lives in work.... do you take holidays, or do you bleach when you get back ?

FFS woman. The smaller it is............the less cleaning you have to do.
You get to make an earlier start on preparing the food for the barbie, and make sure there's enough cold cans in the fridge for when we come back from the bar.DT_Xtremez_28:

Whooooaaa sweet child of mine! I'm backing your ever decreasing caravan empire! I had a months leave when i got back! And i did go in winter! Kiss my shiny metal a**e!

What about Static caravans then?
I take the wife and kids on hols all over the UK in these things and they're great, plus we don't have to drag the f@cking thing half way round the country.
I find caravans less infuriating than f@cking overtaking lorries. Seriously, 10 miles to overtake your chum moving a fraction of an mph slower than you while the faster moving vehicles pile up in an ever increasing tailback behind you, then the gradient increases! FFS!!!!!

Caravans have roughly the same speed restrictions on them as trucks. The trouble is that the cars pulling them do not have the relative power of a truck and the majority of drivers do not have the skills of a truck driver. Add to that a wife who can't navigate and a rear seat full of screaming kids - it's just such fun!
Had a caravan once but soon realised that to irritate each other all we needed to do was move the whole family into the bathroom for the weekend.
Can thoroughly recommend boating on the Norfolk Broads, everything is as slow as the other plus there are lots of pubs to tie up alongside.
