I'm sure caravanners-M/Homers are getting stranger year on year!!

For the last 2 nights there's been a Volvo xc60 pitched up solo on the CL we're on. In it was a little elderly lady and 2 old Samoyed dogs. She ran a mains cable through the car window and spent both nights, presumably sleeping, in the car (M/H?). She was so small that she only came up to the top of the door mirrors, and had to use a walking stick to close the rear door, but even so there could not have been much room for both her and the dogs in the car. Very strange!! Wonder why she didn't have a proper small M/H?

    I wonder how she reaches the pedals? If she needs a booster seat to see over the dash, then surely her legs won't be long enough!  Happy

    Seems a bit strange, I doubt it would be very comfortable either.As you say, not much room.

    I would think that she'd had extension put onto the pedals. Probably was an automatic so would make it a bit easier for her to drive.

    But he does at least have a caravan to sleep in.

    I did forget tomention the CL we were on had only basic facilities, ie EHU & H/S but no toilet, washroom or shower!!

    I am hoping to use my car as a MH for some of the smaller Scottish islands.  I have a chamber pot with lid! Wink  I am not short and dogs quite large we will be very cozy!
