Best not to even look at caravans. Caravaners are out to radicalise as many people as they can. We nearly got caught up in it once ourselves - so lucky to have escaped. They start off talking about the benefits and how friendly it all is to try and lure you into a caravan site. Next thing it's 'would you like to come to our caravan for a drink?' And before you know it you're in a circle of caravaners, naked, throwing a beach ball to each other! Keep well clear!


The Top Gear episode on caravans (It's not a pan-fire it's a van-fire!) is my favourite piece of motoring hilarity.


Do you mean the episode where they hoiked up two caravans from two cranes and played conkers with them?


No it's the one where they tow a caravan to Dorset for a holiday. May does the reversing, Hammond gets lured into a van by a lady with a large poodle and Clarkson fries chips with explosive results. This is a link to an edited version but the unabridged is the one to watch.

And James May's airship caravanning piece is a delight as well.
