Are caravans too wide?

I store my 'van at home and can only accommodate a maximum width of 7ft 4ins (2.14m). New caravans (and motorhomes) are anything up to 7 inch wider than this, which means I cannot buy a new one and my current caravan is (like me) getting older and older.

Do Manufacturers consider the storage problem, or are they in a competition to be the first with an 8 ft wide outfit?
