People who go away in caravans, trailing them around the countryside, seem to be a breed apart. Are they nuts or something? Or are we nuts for not rushing out to buy a caravan? What are your funny caravan stories? Who empties the toilets? Do you get angry driving behind a caravan? Do caravans have too many ornaments and nick nacks in them? Could more caravans be the answer to our housing problems? What is the name given to a caravan enthusiast? Are caravans part of our British culture? Has Joe-The-Lion got a caravan? If not, why not? What has he got against caravans?
Friends of ours love their touring caravan and visit Dorset a lot during summer.
She said to him once,"isn't this a lovely quite country road, not a car in sight". He replied " have you seen behind us. Made me laugh.
What I cannot understand about caravans is why they have colours which seem deliberately chosen to be an eyesore against a country background: white, pale pink, yellow, pale blue, and so on. I once asked a caravan dealer why he didn't sell them in dark green, russets or even camouflage colours and he said that that strange breed, caravanners, like their caravans to look like their fridges and washing machines. Is that true, you caravanners?
I would not want one thank you, but to answer chakkas querie, I believe they are always light in colour to deflect the heat during very hot weather, can you imagine how hot they would be, if they were a dark colour, a black car gets hot enough, jesus i would melt
No chakka35 it isn't true. We've got a caravan and I often say I wish they made them in colours that blend in. Can understand completely why people get fed-up following caravans, we try our hardest to drive in such a way as not to p**s everyone off.
