Saw a trailer this evening for a new programme starting on Channel 5 next Friday evening, 13th July, where five celebrities go caravanning.  I assume it’s in the same vein as as the series shown a while ago where five celebrities went motorhoming.  Sorry, I didn’t catch who the celebrities are, but will have a look at it out of interest.  I found the motorhoming series on Channel 5 catch up recently, having only caught part of one programme previously, and quite enjoyed it.

Theyโ€™re all here waiting for you, David. Weโ€™ve had a few days in West Cornwall checking the fare is up to standard. ๐Ÿ˜„

I reckon it will be October before we get back to Cornwall next.  ๐Ÿ˜

Yes, indeed, it is something of a carry on.  I originally got the title of the programme incorrect when I started the post as I only saw a trailer (no pun intended) on the telly, and didn’t catch exactly what it was called.  It should be “Celebrity 5 Go Caravanning”.   I think your version is is more accurate, jrf, but haven’t we all had problems when we started out?  Some of us still do smile  It’s a wonder we’re still doing it, to be honest.

What no towing course, not even a mention of any practice or instruction.

You say that as though a course or instruction is obligatory. I'm sure that most here are old enough to have grand fathers rights to the B+E on their licence & just hooked up & drove off .... I certainly did. But I was reversing trailers round farm yards at 14/15 ๐Ÿ˜‰

Apparently it is the most watched Channel 5 programme with 1.2 million viewers so perhaps not too bad for our hobby?

We both watched it tonight (I was ironing at the time) can't say I will bother doing so again, its an hour of my life that I will never see again, what a load of rubbish.

There are so few TV programmes about caravanning that I have watched the first two episodes of this.  But can they really not find five celebrities who will all actually agree to stay in their caravans overnight rather than checking into a nearby hotel (Sherrie Hewson & Sonia) - it's not a great advert for caravanning.  And apparently one of the celebrities leaves next week.  I'd have much preferred to watch celebrities who would all enter into the spirit of the thing and stay until the end!

I agree, they are not Caravanning if they don’t sleep in them.

Hotels and Cottages are not part of the experience.

I think the program was made as light entertainment rather than to promote caravanning. I just accept it for what it is.
