I could highly recommend a location in the Perigord Noir if you fancied a nice quite relaxing holiday, lovely countryside to drive through, caves to explore, fishing, lovely food, great restaurants etc etc. It's a great place for the FL2, I'll be taking mine next year Cool ______________________

I think they are a far investment of fund mine was £13500 + £1000 for the electric mover, I think its worth the investment, I plan to plan to keep the caravan for many years to come.

They hold there equity reasonably well, you still pay lots of money for a 10 year old van, which would still have many a holiday left in it too

I don't think the Internet ere comes into it, Though i have been to a couple of online casinos, it doesn't mean i've had a holiday in Las Vegas Whistle

Though it does come in useful reasearching areas to visit Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I can fully understand the pleasures of holidaying in a big field, so the kids can run around while the parents relax a little, have BBQ etc.
BUT the draw backs must be the expense, slow journeys, pitching the thing, living in it. storing it when not using it, having to prepare it before the holiday/clean it after, also farmers throwing Censored at you as you pass Laughing

In the right campsite I'm sure the pleasure makes up for some of these drawbacks. But I have yet to see a van site which appeals ( not that I see many). Personally I would rather book a holiday cottage each year , (cheers ukdave Thumbs Up )

Presently I am in shock as one of my best mates has fitted a towbar to his car and is borrowing a c Censored van to go on holiday with Shocked . I'm sure he wont do it again Laughing At work

There are lots of self catering villas or farms or cottages where city people like myself can say they enjoy a bit of "free range holidaying".I don't like hotels either. As I stay in a flat and can hardly find a parking place for my FL2 I really cannot think abt getting a caravan. But as, for some reasons, I o my holidaying at least 1800 Km away from home I cannot realy take a caravan, in account although I remember years ago when my brother and I were small we stayed in Bulgaria in a camping place where instead of huts they had caravans. We enjoyed it a lot , but our parrents did not as it should have been a short stay and we did take everything out of the car and arranged it in the caravan and of couse they had to put everything back in the car. Had some fun but with today's traffic I would rather say that towing a caravan is sort of difficult, not for the others traffic partners but you have to be so much more carefull. FREELANDER 2 TD4 SE (XS UK) IZMIR BLUE SIDE STEPS COLD PACK BI-XENON TINTED WINDOWS - AND PROUD OF HER
