Official: Caravanning is cool

In the same way that dhtml is so cool?! apparently caravanning is cool. No - seriously. We've bought a caravan we're that serious about it. It fits a lot of the things we wanted to achieve. We can travel and show the kids a simpler, less commercial life as a foil for their normal world.

We've bought a French made 5 berth Sterckemann 485ce which is the max we could pull with our car. We'd seen a great german hymer caravan with the same layout, but it was too heavy - and I'm not buying a 4x4 just to pull a caravan. Of the caravans I looked at the two most stylish (apart from the airstreams) are the t@b and t@b xl (above), although the xl is too heavy for a normal car. I think there is a gap the market for a light weight caravan utilising modern plastics.

Anyway Terry tells me that its cool, and if its good enough for Jarvis its good enough for us.
