Caravan and Motorcamper/car/tent club

What’s wrong with that unit? Why could anyone object to it unless it doesn’t fit in with "one's" view of what a 'proper' motorhome is.

You've stereotyped motorhomes as having awnings with the occupants eating breakfast inside while campervan occupants do the reverse. Really? And what does any of that matter?

I belong to both clubs and the variety of units on C&CC sites is a joy to see. Bring it on!

Incidentally, you’ve posted this as a story but it isn’t really. If you post it on the forum you’ll garner a wealth of replies - I can guarantee it.

There is nothing wrong with that unit, it looks fun actually.

There was an article in the club magazine that stated anything vehicle is accepted as long as there is a designated sleeping section or accommodation, fixed or converted from seats. So in effect they cannot be policed or stopped as they are club 'legal' .

As a caravaner when it's warm enough we have our breakfast, and (shock horror) even lunch, high tea, and dinner outside. sometimes we even cook it outside.

As for the name, hardly matters,  a rose by any other name would smell as sweet

Can't see what's wrong with the outfit in the picture.  If they've paid their fees then they're perfectly entitled to use the club's facilities.  Not everybody can afford a grand spanking new six figure sum vehicle but we all deserve to be able to enjoy our hobby in anyway we can manage.

Oh my word, the hot weather is clearly getting to some people 😱

Surely this must be a wind up.

Why on earth would anyone have a problem with this type of unit and as for those of us who eat outside our van, tent, motorhome, VW camper or roof tent, long may it continue.

I do feel sorry for those people who seem to make it a lifelong mission to moan about absolutely everything and be as miserable as possible - lighten up, you only get one shot at this (as far as we know 😉)

That is a very desirable outfit, if our dogs could climb ladders, it could well have been us. I honestly thought this kind of outdated view of different outfits had come to an end, especially as the Club welcomes most kind of outfits nowadays. We had a tiny camper van thirty years ago and often faced this kind of misplaced thinking, rather sad to find such still happens. 

Why not try and get into conversation with the owners, find out why they like to tour in this kind of outfit? They are probably just as human as everyone else on site. And they may even be willing to tow you off if you get stuck one day! 

I agree - it's got to be a wind up. The only question is why the OP didn't wait until the weekend - that's the latest tactic for "new" posters isn't it? 

"...policed and stopped."

Wow, what’s happenned to "hung, drawn and quartered"? 

I am laughing Jill, the vehicle alone is probably worth £70,000. Bit more depending on how the inside, roof tent is configured. And it won't get stuck in the mud! That's a long wheel base Safari LR, a classic as soon as it rolled off the production line! Natty washing lines may have been from Aldi! I'd take one any day over a square white box, with or without engine attached!

I love the variety makes the sites where everyone has to park in line look more interesting. Far better than all white boxes 😉

and don't forget the head on a spike at the site entrance?
