Carry on Caravanning

There are one million caravans in Britain and more than 400 caravan clubs. The mobile holiday homes have never been more popular—the industry is currently worth £6b to the UK economy, and they are seeing some of their fastest growth among holidaymakers in their 20s and 30s. So get ready to meet Britainʼs fun-seeking, slow lane- hogging “carafans”.
They come from all backgrounds and all parts of the country, but they all have one thing in common. In the face of angry drivers, jet-set snobs and the Great British weather, these intrepid travellers spend all the free time they can get with their fellow “carafans” and their cherished box of delights.
In this funny, character-driven documentary, viewers meet a colourful cast of caravanning characters as they cross the country on a weekend break. Itʼs a “Little Britain” world that feels familiar yet strange at the same time, holding up a microscope to the UK in 2015. They might not be cool, they might not be popular, and they might not collect many air miles. But they are a close-knit community who would not swap their mobile maisonettes for the world. And if you donʼt like them, well you can kiss their caravan!

That's just put me off caravan rallies for life!

Oh lord that was bad. Onsie congar, pig racing and a tanning fanatic

How embarrassing, the Sun tan Johnny couple had left a no2 in the bowl from their previous trip...

The cassette emptying pit was also a bit primitive on the site they were on, it was only a 6" pipe that was flush to the ground with no means to swill the cassette

I watched the majority of the program which I know was meant to be a bit "tongue in cheek" but would have put me off the idea of caravanning.
It was tabloid television at it's worst.

Did they round these people up especially?
still as long as they Rally together and don't
bother "normal" folk .....

Benefits street rejects, oopsy said something controversial

I'm a loner don't do rallies but it's each to there own. I respect the wishes of those that do, and I even supply doughnuts!! But tgen Eribafolk are different because we are friendly

So glad there were no Eribas on show, would hate to be tarred with the same brush as these cretins. I thought about taking my roulette wheel and formal suit away with me, but thank god the thought only lasted 1second. Scrabble, a pair of my favourite shorts and a good old Remoska any day of the week. The pig race made me a bit emotional as well.

Just goes to show what a better class of people Eriba owners are. Have only attended Eriba rallies. the thought of pitching up near any of those people would make me move site pronto. Oh dear, am I turning into my mother?.

It was car crash TV and if I was a viewer considering 'vanning, it would have put me right off - Not a good advert for the 99% of decent normal participants out there.
