Does size make a difference

Having gone from a 7.6in wide 5th wheeler to an 8ft caravan, I’m surprised how little difference it makes when driving. However once parked on site the Tardis effect kicks in, the additional space is very apparent

Have others noticed the same effect.

    My 6m x 2m PVC is surprisingly roomy even though those dimensions include the driving bit at the sharp end.

    I’m afraid OH and I spending up to 4 months at a time away in such a small space, I would probably now be looking at conviction for premeditated murder.

    But of course each to their own

    We did start with a 6' 10" wide caravan and as the widths increased it has not been noticeable, except in Devon trying to get to Plymouth Sound on some very narrow roads, although not reached 8' as yet.

    Despite the caravans getting longer the difference has not been a problem.
