I would go for a BIG T/A caravan with EW. However you have to tow it and move it about [on site and for storage]. So as an old chap I am happy and comfortable with my smaller single axle Abbey with a motor mover.

So many other things have gone away from tradition when it comes to colour, it surprises me that caravans haven't gone down the same route. Why not a spotty van, or stripy, pink, orange, yellow or blue? Cars come in all colours. I suspect white reflects the heat, so that maybe a major factor, but although I love my caravan and it is white, it is very boring. An entire dealership full of white/cream vans does look very bland.

Anyway, given the choice I would probably stick with what I've got as it suits us down to the ground; a Burstner C530tk.

ps - having said all that, there is a tiny van stored at the farm where we keep Bertie and that is orange with black spots - I love it!

Even if I won the lottery today, I would keep the one I have....it does exactly what I want, works well for me, is in good order.....I know because I "fixed it" and looks great despite its age!  For me it is about having family fun, not getting ahead of "the Joneses"!
