On owning a Caravan, CC'ers experience?

[screenman]

I have to applaud the business acumen of the Croc people. They take an already overpriced piece of footwear and design a hole in it so you can buy overpriced things to plug the hole. Bravo!

It makes you think, why did I not come up with that idea and be a multi millionaire.

Would it be something that you were proud of?

Would it matter?

Thats got practically nothing to do with caravanning and everything to do with sh1te driving..

 

[Deleted member 26715]

It would to some but not to others.

Ah not specific enough, would it matter to you?

Prove it

I know there's no evidence to support that but I believe it to be true and so it must be true

I'm pleased to see you are adopting the lessons learned from your current study topic Rocky

Would it be something that you were proud of?

It certainly would for many reasons, one being the good I could do for others with it.

How about you?

Around here it is the little white vans that give the largest problems, all those people that drive them are dangerous. Do you agree? As for cyclist holding up traffic all over the place, get them off of the road.

they seem inherently unstable and then driven by people who seldom drive with long trailers. As a cyclist I hate them and will usually dismount when I see one coming, I think the drivers forget they have a trailer behind with the result being the rear of the caravan comes stupidly close.[/QUOTE]

I think you may be talking about a small minority, bit like the cyclist idiot that gets us all a bad name.

 

[keithmac]

2.6% of all accidents involved trailers or caravans..

Doesn't sound like the road menace they're made out to be.

Plus how many of them were no fault of the caravan outfit but just happened to be caught up on someone elses accident?.

 

[Deleted member 26715]

How does that compare to the proportion of journeys made?

Or miles covered it does seem rather high to me

 

[screenman]

A caravan being towed is towed 100% of the time it is being towed, unless it is not being towed then it is less than the figure quoted.

 

[keithmac]

How many were actually the fault of the outfit?.

None.

 

[screenman]

Except when reversing, when it is being pushed.

I know that, which is why it is not being towed.
