    Thanks for that Dave. Some great suggestions there, and even one to satisfy the EV market.

    Wonder what a warden would say if one drew up in the one that swivels?

    Our next door neighbours back in the 60s had a very similar outfit, just a bed on wheels - I wasn't impressed even then!

    Some great designs there. Insides are a bit minimalist for most tastes. I like the little Airstream and the two side canopied designs.

    Can see the attraction of the midi and micro caravans particularly for young couples maybe even those with young families. The trailer tents are not really very much different to ones we've seen in the past.. It's more about getting the price right and the weight down to match the lighter tow vehicles which we are seeing. I think the minimalist approach will prevail in the future given the way things are going.

    It's got a Jeep badge on the front, but it's really a Fiat, Renegade. They are nice to drive, but nothing like a proper Jeep. Selling like hot cakes around us though.

    That Bollinger is superb, sort of a hybrid Wrangler/Defender. Tows around 2.5 tons as well. If it is good off road, could be seriously interested.......bet it's expensive though.

    Yes, and in a 'few' years this kind of 'jeep' may possibly be the only kind of option available to us! The future is bright, the future is?? Things can only get better, can't they?

     120-200 miles limit and that's probably solo. more like 50 miles towing to its limits 7-12 hrs charge time? more for the rich farmers I say. Looks good though.
