Caravanning Now In Everyone s Reach

, Camping with a caravan, once the privilege of the well-to-do, 1 1. the reach of everyone today. Modern caravans are cheaper, better built and rapidly gaining in popularity. Fibreglass and aluminium

used in today’s models put them among the world’s most attractive.

And the motorist thinking of buying one has the added advantage of knowing that his caravan will not depreciate in value as fast as his car.

Think about your car when you buy a caravan. No-one wants a model too big or too heavy for one’s car. If your car has 15horsepower it will be capable of towing a 15cwt caravan without straining. It may be capable of more but the cwt to horsepower rule is a good rule of thumb.

Few of the caravans built today need much maintenance. In fact one of the advantages of the modern caravan is its ability to stand out in all weathers and retain. its attractive appearance.

Caravans have come a long way in recent years. In the United States they are used in trailer parks and villages by thousands every year. Asked why he preferred trailer life one American said that in no other way could he meet such interesting and varied neighbours.
