Tuzo 251 Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 I love being away in the van, its certainly popular round these parts. Three caravan sales have opened up within 5 miles from me. I am booked on different sites every fortnight for the next couple of months but a lot of sites I rand were fully booked. Just got back yesterday from another site at Whitby that was also full. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

paulf 820 Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 I have just been down to bideford in devon for a funeral and was stuck behind loads of caravans for miles and miles ...so I would say they are still pretty common from what I have seen today... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ossie n Arch 1,682 Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 We only bought our Van when we got the dogs. No one to look after them, so they come with us. It has it's pitfalls sometimes, but on the whole, it's a blast. We're in it at the moment, Wells-next-the-sea. Fooking hot though.............. I'm sure I went to Wells as a kid on a caravan holiday. Is there a beach with a feck off big island within swimming distance? Sort of. But you could walk to the island as well. Theres plenty of these on the beach front.

LOL. I'm sure it's nothing like as grand as what I remember through my 10 year old eyes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
