Caravanner of the Year on BBC this April!

what a load of sausage, never seen a program so ridiculous in my life, where are the competitors now going to go on holiday without getting ridiculed. Are they actually club members or are they actors from hi de hi

Write your comments here...I saw one of the pairs at the Harrogate Flower Show!

In my opinion these two programmes,parts1&2 have set the Caravan Club back many years. 

I don't know about that 'eddietheeagle', Eddie the Eagle in the 1988 olympics didn't seem to do much harm to the continuation of ski jumping

Correct, and how many BRITISH ski jumpers are there ?

That that would be, a whole NONE

Goodness, don't mention ski jumping...

The next thing we will see is Grenville towing a caravan down a ski slope.....

"oh look! Just ripped the a**e off another one "

Are we doing something wrong?  We never make lists or plan a detailed route. 

Write your comments here...We have a list for hitching up and checking the security of the caravan locker doors etc. We are fairly new to the caravan world and l feel that we need to do this. Maybe when we are as experianced as you we can do away with the checklist.

Write your comments here...As I get older I find that I need to refer more often to the list. Top of the list; check the handbrake before you start disengaging the motor mover!

Yes and check that the handbrake is off before operating the mover.

This thread was initiated by a post extolling the benefits of viewing the programme. It shows the same level of judgement and competence as that of dealing with members.

Do not be silly, that is far to sensible a test

To be fair, CY, I very much doubt it was Rochelle's idea to promote the program and it's pretty unlikely she would have known what it contained.

When I started watching I really thought it was a late April Fools, both parts of this programme where so cringeworthy I had members of my family texting me to take the p@ss!! It really should not have been promoted as COTY, this suggests the the contestants were the best the Club has to offer and must have re-inforced the general publics negative views of caravanners in general. The Chairmans participation in this programme would suggest to many that it had been made by The Caravan Club to promote caravanning and this misconception, I believe, is what has led to so many negative comments being made here. In my opinion the Club hierarchy should not have had an involvement in this show, as this is seen by the public as endorsement, and it should have been promoted as purely lighthearted 'entertainment'. As others have previously stated this programme has damaged the publics opinion of caravanning and caravanners by decades at a time when I think a lot of people were starting to take us seriously and some maybe even  a little envious of our life style
