The Mantis Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Why do caravans get such bizarre names, such as Freedom, Crusader, Xplore, Pursuit, Conqueror, Challenger etc. Why can’t people be more honest and just call them Obstacle, Obstructor, Nuisance, Trundler, Delayer, Snail, Tortoise, Traffic Jammer or just BAAAASTAAARD?

People who buy caravans wouldn’t buy them if they had those names. Oh, wait, yes they would Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drive at 55mph, should that 5mph really bother you that much ? There’s very few things more satisfying than a tailback behind you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chomp my root Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 We 'aspire' to a caravan. Long term a motor home but medium term a smallish caravan. 14 minutes ago, heedthebaa said: I drive at 55mph, should that 5mph really bother you that much ?

throbber Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 I like campervans but people who tow their caravans behind their cars are subhuman scum, often referred to as “tuggers” in the caravan industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leccy rolled up, chocks lifted, f**k that, or I suppose you could just leave the whole family sitting on the fold away chairs till you’re back. Anyway lorries are the real b*****ds of the road, people should pick on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The DA Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Why would you spend years getting your house in shape, just the way you like it, and then piss about in an aluminium shell that can't carry 10% of the things that make life worth living?

chomp my root Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 We're definitely more likely to have the bikes on the back than be puling a car behind when we eventually get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good honest names like John Deere, no trying to pretend they're a spacecraft or something Plus, they usually turn off within a couple of miles.

Because I’ve booked 5 nights at £116 in a beautiful part of the country, take in some rashers of bacon, a dozen rolls and a couple of cases of T and you’ve got a cheap holiday sarge.
