Good photoshop skills. Looks about big enough for two children.

Can't see the point of a tiny caravan, why not have a tent and save about £10,000.
 
We're considering getting rid of our twin wheel 5 birth in favour of a trailer tent.
Easy to store, easy to put up (just like having an awning), light enough to not need a big car (so even Lemmy could cope) and much less fraught to hitch, tow and park! (and still sleeps up to 6!!!)

Simples :wink:

To answer your question, no not for me I'm afraid. I may just about squeeze my big toe in :LOL:
 
About 10 years ago I was going to buy the bits and make a teardrop mini caravan to match my p6.

Big enough for a bed with the cooking bits at one side, look nice but tents are much easier to live with.

Smart though, I will need to find the figaro carvan my lady would love that.

How about one of these? :shock:

There were a couple of those P5 campers. I think the same guy bought the second one to surface, a 3 litre, but it was too rotten to save IIRC.
There are always Portafolds on ebay, they're a nice practical little van. I had one for a few years until recently. They're the next step up from a tent with bags of character & make a good tearoom for your workshop too.
I've become quite a fan of Travelodge. They're excellent for nights away or long weekends. Cheap 'n' cheerful & normally clean. :LOL:

Spoken like a real surrey boy Dave :LOL:

It can be great fun you should give it a try :wink:
 
No way for me either :eek:

The first day everything is ok, but then everything is damp and you ache in places that you didn't even realise were places because you have been sleeping on a tree root.

You can stay in a Travellodge for £20 a night :LOL: Some caravan sites cost more than that.

I think you have a point there and have to look at the cost of caravaning or motorhoming very carefully before you embark. Years ago I got a loan of a a motorhome for a week. We just went round Scottish Highlands. Between the cost of petrol for the van and campsite fees, I was shocked at the cost and realised that we would probably have been better off in terms of comfort & cost staying in B&Bs!
