Caravans v. Motorhomes
By the way - I want to start a Discussion - not a War ! ! came to caravanning from canal cruising, and I am still marvelling over the extra flexibility in accomodation that a 7'6" wide caravan gives me over a 6'10" narrowboat - to say nothing of the fact
that I can comfortably travel 200 miles a day instead of 20. And without locks ! We agonised long and hard at the beginning whether to buy aCaravan or a Motorhome. It looked to our inexperienced eyes that caravans seemed to be (roughly) half the price,
but with twice as much useable room. I also thought that narrow roads and going to supermarkets could present problems. Now, eighteen years and a lot of experience later, I cannot for the life of me see why people buy a motorhome. Is it a fear of towing
? Is it the extra 10 miles an hour on a motorway ? I just don't get it. It can't be towing; so many are towing a car behind. It can't be the higher speed limit; over a couple of hundred miles (a reasonable day's distance), it's not much more than
half an hour's difference - and we're supposed to be relaxing anyway, not tearing round the country at maximum speeds. I'm genuinely puzzled. Can someone enlighten me ? (I might even buy one if I'm persuaded !)
I genuinely don't understand
