My parents is 45x10 and has gas central heating, proper bathroom, plastic covered metal tiled roof, dishwasher ect ect.

Theres is called a mobile home

Yep, nice, I suppose ours is called a mobile home (or holiday home) as well, gas central heating, double glazed, en suite to the master bedroom, separate shower room with toilet but unfortunately no bath, pantile roof, lounge has free standing furniture, french doors  and we're hoping this year to install a veranda so that we can use them properly. Kitchen has full sized cooker, fridge and washing machine, proper 'home from home', even the dog loves it, probably because she gets a lot more walks there than she does at home.  

There are 3 basic type of caravans

The ones that hold you up for 5 mins on the motorway

The ones that hold you up for 20 minutes on an A road

The ones that make you wish you were dead on the B roads.

Let's face it. If you drive an Astra, the less time you have to spend in the car the better you'll feel so I have every sympathy for you Steve.

Yep, I believe this can be a problem, just stay away from lots of water. kielder can be a bu**er.

Years ago when I was a Scout, we had a two week camp at Kielder.  The midges were bad at best and unberable at worst.  We deliberatly made our fires smokey to get rind of them - to no avail.  The camp site shop did a roaring trade in various insect sprays, sticky rolls etc!

So yes, certainly the Kielder area is terrible for midges!

The final category are touring caravans which are twoed, they are the only ones with suspension and brakes and Swift, Bailey and Lunar are well know makes.

aka pikey wagons....

[Martin_1962]

Pikey wagons are a different set altogether - there was some overlap with the tourer market, but you have the fairground ones which need commercial vehicles to pull, and the tinker style big ones with no toilets, quite ofter European
