If I were to caravan, I'd really prefer a minimum of 10m between family and cludgie, for their sakes

I agree, motorcycle licence 1962 car licence 1963. I really don't see the point in driving like a bloody lunatic, too many on the roads do that these days. Have done some and fortunately survived. But eventually realised it's better to be late in this life than early in the next one.

Is a chilling thought....my fear is that as we age we shall begin to see patterned velour as the best thing ever!
Next stage is the joy of waterproof high back chairs that cosset your boney and leaky derrier........
Shoot me now.

Then you buy range rovers because you can't get in and out of normal cars.

Oh I can still get into normal cars, trouble is I have concentrate if I want to do it silently,
That wee involuntary grunt sneaks up on you..
That wee involuntary grunt sneaks up on you..
I normally tow with an "A" frame and haven't noticed any difference, but then it's usually 12 miles...
Last year, towed our caravan with the Rangey and had to, ermm hoof it a bit because I had to work and extra hour and her indoors was STILL not ready
Averaged 13.8mpg over almost 50 miles and included some overtaking.
Lets just say we left at 20:23 and arrived at 21:17 and no motorways, only 7 miles of dual carriageway, a steeeeep hill up and miles of A roads.
One clown saw us coming, saw the caravan and decided that we were just a figment (at that moment I was on cruise at 60mph) so pulled into my path and accelerated like a slug on a frying pan. I was forced to slow right down for him. However, when the oncoming had went, I was out and off like a scalded rat. And even though the arse tried to accelerate to prevent me passing, I still left him in my wake flashing his lights in frustration
Made it to the site, got the paperwork and reversed onto the pitch in the pitch dark, squared her up, unhooked, leveled, leccy & water sorted and into the bar for the back of ten

Have to say i do like that caravan, not really into caravans but think I'd be happy with yours! Oh, and towing it with a S63 AMG is the icing on the cake!!Believe me, you wouldn't want me anywhere close to any DIY
PS: there is maybe a reason why gypsies choose German caravans and not British ones to live in and why they tow them with a Japanese 4x4 and not a Range
Anyway, I don't care about image whatsoever. I don't see why I should go on holiday in a cramped caravan and tow it with a BMW X5 or a LR Discovery because of what other think.
What other think is their problem, not mine.
