We treat the caravan as mobile accommodation which we can take to a particular location to use as a base from which to holiday. 

There is a difference. The caravan itself is not the holiday, if it was, nobody would need to take it out of their drive. 

The holiday is where you go with the caravan and how you enjoy what that particular area has to offer. 

Cool

Given the large number of Germans who I see towing their caravans around Europe  would he not be better employed asking the same question of his fellow countrymen?

Our caravan is our little cottage on wheels and long may it be.

KJLC, hope this helps! I do find him very funny and one thing about us Brits, and particularly us caravaners, motorised or otherwise,  is that we can laugh at ourselves!Happy

 His fellow comedians take the Micky out of him and his countrymen and he gives good humoured banter back! Love it!

Many thanks for that. I saw the heading, immigrants guide.... and was expecting something in the title like 'caravan' or 'Henning Wehn' I learn something new every week Smile
