It excites me when hubby suggests that we should go on a caravan trip next year! No matter if the taste for travelling by caravans was raised by the memories of the excitement of arriving at the campsite when you were a child or by the need of coming back to the roots when people where travelling free, the enthusiasm of caravanners is infectious. The caravan offers a return to simpler holiday pleasures.

In the last 2-3 years the popularity of caravans have been increasing in the UK, maybe due to the excellent summer weather, the fear of travelling abroad due to worries over terrorism, large increases in house prices, which provided people with the ability to raise capital by re-mortgaging their homes or just the need for a simpler holiday and more freedom. A friend of mine was just sharing how she could have her acne treatment done during her travel in a caravan! One of the reasons for the growth in popularity of traveling in caravans has been enhanced by the improvements in quality and facilities making caravan holidays possible at any time of the year not just summer months.
