This pulled up on the pitch next to us in France last week. I couldnt see any markings and didn't feel tooo motivated to go and look round it in case the owner wanted to talk to me about it. But I've certainly seen nothing of the sort before. A new meaning of the term 'Mobile Home' perhaps

I thought French campsites frowned upon taking in "Twin Axles" ?

I think you are right, Roger, normally that is the case. Though I gather if you arrive and ask, and it is clear you are just a holiday maker, you will/might be let in...

I've done a bit more digging since I posted. Using Google image search, I have identified the beast as a 'Hobby Landhaus 8m'..from about 2020(?)

Saw something similar in Ireland but with a bay at both ends, it was a Hobby. An awful lot of them on the Irish sites, there for the whole season, probably because they’re too blasted big to move on the roads.

Randa you are correct, at Camping Ibarron they even had a large sign up to that effect

If you tow a twin axle behind a car, you will have more success - tow it behind a white van and no chance! My first caravan was a twin axle Adria and I towed it behind a 2 litre, bright red Volvo 940 saloon, which was way underpowered for the job. It was one way to learn about towing caravans and quite a change from the folding camper it replaced...
