I think this Jurgens South African motor caravan, campervan could meet your needs perfectly. 🤭A classic ready to go and in U.K. Ideal for revival events.

KevThats wicked OC, it would solve all our problems, best of both worlds.
Could even strap the grandkids to the roof rack
And you would still be able to practice with Sikaflex even when touring 🤭

That looks a really nice arrangement. Nicer than the “herd” boxes.

What does it really matter what other people might think about your personal choice? Its a free country, and I say if that what you want, they that's fine. I do suggest you think carefully about the logistics (which it seems you have done so already) such as how to get out and bout from the sites etc. but as long as your happy with it, then do it!
There are plenty of people who get lots of pleasure from using a motorhome, and when others start to cast aspersions on motor homer's its reflection of their own narrow mindedness.
When the lock-down ends, get out there and enjoy whatever type of accommodation you wish.

Don't know if you would be able to climb that ladder Kev. 😂.
A friend of mine had the same thoughts, borrowed a small motorhome, and said the noise of things ratteling around was deafening whilst travelling.

Where did you find those definitions? So what is the definition of a motor caravan? Is a horse drawn unit that can be lived in also a caravan. LOL!

Kev,
A bit late into this one. I have thought about the same thing but in truth it doesn’t suit us. Like Ray , space is important , something we all enjoy in the caravan . The campervan will be cramped . Toilet? Plus It will need insuring tax mot service etc. If it is weekends have you thought about Air B&Bs. Thinking about your initial capital cost outlay for the campervan and running costs AB&B could work out a lot cheaper. Alternatively glamping?
Or could you get Mr Fleety onto your flatbed truck🤪🤪🤪🤪

Can only use in the summer plus danger of canvas rotting if it is nto kept under cover. We looked at some for the daughter and decided a better option was a proper caravan. Some of them cost almost as much as a small second hand caravan with all the facilities.

I think that’s what my reply above indicated. The “ thumbs down” is the giveaway. 🙈
