get a tent, why get a nice, well equipped, luxury & fast car, then restrict yourself by towing a shed all over the place, get an outwell Hartford you will love it. As you are not towing & not restricted speed wise you can be at the bar first  :y

My tent has a bloody great queen size bed, incredibly comfy, far better than any caravan bed I've ever slept on.

Personally recommend the Family Khamsin, basically due to the ease to pitch, and the Geodesic design, enough height inside, downside is that they are expensive, and you could potentially get cheaper and larger tents. key in design for me though is the poles and geo design the khamsin poles are T7 aluminium (VERY LIGHT). If you are going for a tent I would recommend either aluminium or steel poles (carbon fibre poles I now steer clear of). Good point about the tent it is self supporting, and you only need to peg out the guy ropes if it gets really really windy :y

I had a caravan myself until about a month ago when i sold it on Fleabay as I was so fed up with the weather. I hated towing especially down those tight lanes in Cornwall i used to close my eyes and squeeze my arse cheeks ;D ;D ;D
Glad see the back of it :y
