Wouldn't call our towing limits silly a ridiculous statement.

I would... Trucks in the US can physically top a ton

[TheBoy]

How fast does your tent go then, TB? 

Ron.

130... ish

I think the current tent has only been in the Battlebus, so was limited to about 90 until that DTM fella fixed it

I am saying its silly to be limited to such silly speeds.  The solution is not to raise towing limits, but to ban caravans.

Problem solved.

Only  a couple of things , our roads are in a shocking state probably the worst in Europe, and we cannot compare our roads to those in the USA.

Er, have you ever been to Houston?.....

He is too soft. Personally I think all caravans should be burned. Immediately.

Why not?

A three/four/five lane dual carriageway/motorway is the same the world over

Hell, even the Belgians have a higher speed limit than the UK, and everyone knows that the Belgians can't drive for shit

Probably find a nice self combusting Zafira to start them off

Jeez the roads there are utter shite, making ours like driving on billiard tables!   

[Auto Addict]

Will never understand it, buy caravan at huge cost. Depreciation of it is just as bad as car, running costs, storage costs, insurance. Get horrible MPG towing and generally rubbish experience to tow, don't exactly enjoy drive with burger van on the back.

Then when you arrive you cook your own dinners, empty your own cr@p, and be side by side with other plastic boxes in a field and pay for the privilege to park   

Vs

A hotel, with pool, room service, en-suite right in city centre or out in country side.

For the running costs of a Caravan for a year, you can buy a lot of hotel rooms. Think I'll stick to Marriott Hotels. 

As much as I have no desire to stay in a caravan, I think on reflection, I would prefer that to hotels.  I've yet to ever go to a hotel that I've enjoyed, except by artificially getting so plastered I can't remember it.

Obviously, rather than a caravan, I'd rather use my tent if the weather is warmish - its more spacious, more comfortable, cheaper, and not restrained to silly speed limits.

I have pictures to prove TB has towed and stayed in a caravan!

[Steve Brookman]

I still love caravanning.

Parents did it whilst I was young.

Took it up again nearly 17 years ago-bought my first Omega to tow it. S155 JVV-2.5 auto GLS estate. Excellent tow car!

Replaced the 2.5 after about 8 years with a T reg 3.0 Elite estate-used it tow again.

Still towing but now use my Range Rover-very good but the Omega estates - especially the 2.5 was nearly as good.
