Here we go, this is a caranvanner:
Nope, that's a fifth wheel too.I can see I'm going to have to do a post showing a tent, trailer tent, caravan, fifth wheel, camper van, motor home (A, B & C class), mobile home, park home, etc.
I'm doing my bit this year for getting a few caravans off the road, banger rally + caravan class. I have loads of teams "preparing" crabby old caravans for one last trip before they get crushed

I'm sure that was factual & true to life 
Not set up at all!
People hate caravans because of the 'I must drive everywhere at 30' brigade. There is nothing in the world more enfuriating than being stuck behind a caravan who is driving far too slowly.
There are two reasons why some caravanners drive too slowly:
1 - They do not feel that their outfit is stable enough to drive quickly; if this is the case - get a bigger car, smaller caravan or learn how to load the f
king thing properly.
2 - They do not feel confident driving at the speed limit (50mph for caravans) where conditions allow; if you can't drive at the (what is in my opinion too slow) speed limit then DON'T PULL A fkING CARAVAN.
I do own a caravan and I have never had a queue of traffic form behind me because of my poor driving, nor do I drive too fast, it's a case of being sensible and sensitive to the people that will be following you. Drive on dual carriageways where possible, don't travel at busy times.
I was once out with the van on the back in a queue of traffic which was travelling at about 35mph in a 60 - probably due to some tt that can't handle his caravan further up. The car behind me was getting excessively aggressive; blowing the horn, flashing his headlights and sticking his fingers up at me expecting me to pull over. Being a clever st he waited until there was a slight gap in oncoming traffic before trying to overtake - only to see the queue of traffic that was holding us up. He got alongside me before losing his bottle and slamming his brakes on (there was a big fk off lorry coming the other way). Always makes me chuckle.
Not all caravanners are doddery olds!
