Motorhomes

[Joy_Division]

WE had a static caravan at Stratford for some years and there was a large area for towed caravans and mobile homes. How people can call it a holiday in them I do not know. They were linked up to electricity but they were virtually on top of one another. There was no chance of a quiet evening or afternoon sitting out if either side of you had a couple of kids doing what kids do naturally which is play at the top of their voices and running between the motors. And as for sharing, as above my advice would be to steer clear.

Not always the case Joy buddy. With a towing van it is possible to select certain criteria.
Virtually all of our caravanning trips have been to small sites which specifically allow no more than 5 vans and no children.
I realise that with a static matters are different.
For us (me and ‘she who must be obeyed’) the ability to make a last minute decision to just go...is great. We’re fortunate to be able to keep our small towing van discretely at the side of our house and able to shoot off with little notice.
Clearly both being retired helps !

I am not against mobile homes or caravanettes as I call them, far from it. I would love to have a refurbished VW Camper van but for the ability to essentially park up somewhere quiet and secluded for the evening and then motor on to somewhere else. I think my trouble is I am essentially rather anti-social and don't like being amongst people I don't know. My wife and I have lived in our house for over 30 years and except for the family attached to our semi I could not tell you the surname of anyone in the entire road. I ain't interested in socialising with neighbours at all, although if someone asked for my help I would give it.
