I recently purchased a caravan (http://www.isleofwightpictures.co.uk/gypsy-caravan.600.jpg)
Have you any Caravan related stories? I onced lived in a Caravan for several days in which people call a holiday. It was really cold and I didn't like it, all in all caravans are abit shit. Do you think Caravans are shit? I do.
Had my first "interaction" with a girl in a caravanÃ, ;D...Ã, so i think they're tops! 8)
My cousin is hippy and he lives in a caravan, not bigger that this one (With the engine "incorporated", I don' t know if it' s a caravan really, or a van with a bed), with a cat and his girlfriend... I doubt I would be able to live like that for more than... a month? But apparently he is managing well. I will post more of his adventures here.
We've got a caravan, though it's not as funky looking as yours, it's 16 years old but has hot and cold water, shower, gas cooker, toilet and 2 living areas. I certainly don't think it's a bit shit. In the past year we've had 3 weeks on holiday, weeks holiday's in lake district, wales, and dorset, plus at least 5 weekends away. The cost of all this was under £600, a bargain. You also get to hold traffic up on single lane roads and overtake other caravans very slowly on dual carriageways, annoying other drivers. Excellent fun ;)
Apart from Mittens, my experience of campsites are purely negative. But parking a caravan in the middle of nowhere might prove to be great fun. I have mixed feelings about those narrow coffins.
I have slept in a cold, yet sweaty caravan. I don't like Caravans. However, if I could install Wifi...
That's not a caravan, it's an egg with wheels!
Caravans are a great way to get somewhere without it costing too much in hotels/cabins/whatever. Cramped as some may be, i guess the intimate feeling i get (social intimacy i mean) outweighs a lot of the cons for me. There's only a couple of types of holidays that i would have a problem with, and a holiday in a camper isn't one of them if(holiday.days < 25)

But why did you buy it then? Peer pressure? The neighbours have got one too? :P
You should see how many of your friends you can cram in there, and then hook it up to a pick up truck and go baja-ing through a cornfield.
That thing is ugly. :) I couldn't figure out what it was until I read the post. We call them trailers.
How can you call that ugly?!?
If you hate them so much..........why the hell did you buy one? ???
Why did you replace the other picture with this one. Bring the old one back. ???
This is what i know as a Caravan.

That's what I thought it was gonna be.
And the green one pic up there is cool.
You have to kill a gypsy to get one like that. That'd be so cool. I love old school caravans.
EDIT: Cool being the fact that you had one, not the killing part... :P

That seems to be a motor home, or 'camper'. It's like a big van with a bed and kitchen and whatnot.
I'm dreaming of an Airstream and moving out to Area 51.

That's what caravans are supposed to look like! ;D
That is an old school gyppo caravan. You need a horse and wear funny clothes and smell funny and grow a beard to look the part with that caravan. Is there something you are not telling us OBI? You aren't a gyppo are you? I hope not.
Yeah, first thing I thought of when I saw that thing was Obi being hunted by Borat.

Without looking at the picture, it almost sounds like you're talking about the Amish.
But I use the word Gyppo, which is a kind of derogatory slang for gypsie.
