Caravanning holidays have always had a less than cool reputation. Think of a caravan holiday and rainy weather, pink velour interiors and flasks of warm tea spring to mind. Not really the most inviting of images, especially when there are so many really cool holidays on offer across the rest of the world.
Throughout most of the nineties, media celebrities publicly declared caravanning as something that was to be sneered at. An advert in Private eye in 1992 lead to the formation of an ‘Anti Caravan Club’ they demanded that there be compulsory road tests for caravanners.
Some people have insisted that caravans be banned from the roads from dawn till dusk imposed on the roads. Movements like these were fuelled by self appointed guardians of the British roads like Jeremy Clarkson who earned a living talking about the evils of caravanning and then blowing them up on his TV show.
Of course, there have always been people who have whole heartedly believed that a caravanning holiday is an oasis away from the modern world. A caravan is somewhere to escape from a highly stressed environment, or a place to whisk themselves and their family away to. These people steadfastly maintained a way of life which became respected by the parts of society which at first mocked them. This element came to the realisation that timeout from day to day life is desperately needed and can be attained regularly by having access to a caravan and a good imagination.
These champions of the caravanning movement have worked quietly away, helping to maintain camping and caravan sites with their presence and extolling the virtue (and cheapness) of a holiday on wheels. Nowadays, more and more people are realising how much sense a good caravan holiday makes in terms of cost and how great it is to take a holiday in the UK.
