    My mascot sits on the front passenger seat and is called the wife. She is a driving aid, regularly teaching me how to drive. She also provides somewhere for the cat to sit.wink

    Not in the caravan - but when we were 'liveaboards' on our yacht in the Med, we had a toy rabbit in a hammock hanging from the deckhead. We were struck by lightning in Corsica and had to go to the south of France for repairs and when  the first workman appeared on board, he went ballistic when he saw the rabbit and just kept shouting " Monsieur, monsieur, le lapin, le lapin" and  dashed away and wouldn't come back until I had removed it.  Unbeknown to us the even the word rabbit is considered to be extremely unlucky in France when associated with matters nautical - let alone having something on board which resembled one. (probably accounts for the lightning strike!).

    My parents had 'Fred's Dad' he hung on the curtain wire on the front window of their Sprite Muscateer when I was young.  He was then transferred to their new van and has remained there ever since - he is now 49 years old and is a plastic troll head with black hair and I have no idea how he got his name!
