Because the vast majority of their caravans are German makes, they stand up to hard use being lived in full time, the UK ones don't.

How can a caravan have a door on the 'wrong' side?

Seeing as the 'normal' use of a caravan does not include entering/exiting on the public highway, is there any relevance to which side the door is on?

The caravans are correct, they just tow them backwards.

I think the question should be "How can a caravan have a door on the 'correct' side?"

It's a caravan, doesn't matter what side you use, it's just wrong

sorry Nick
Don't pander to the RAF's token pikey, you're absolutely correct.....

A majority are also legally too wide for the british road and hence should be seized but never are.

You also never see them with reg plates on.

Lock before it turns into a Pikey bashing thread . . . again!
