Oh what fun!

Hope it didn't come to this? https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x84hsk4

I was a bit puzzled what your thread was about DD. Seems it’s someone on a small road and got into difficulties. Hope it all got sorted. Rule one for us, whether towing or not is don’t follow a Sat Nav religiously. 

 Looking at the location you've given  if you and your original followers had reversed a very short distance there would have been ample space to allow passing it should have been obvious that the poor guy would have difficulty reversing his unit it seems the white van tried to help but nobody else, if it had been a bus or tractor instead of the caravan you wouldn't have any option but to reverse because they will not.

If you take a look at motorhome fun forum I think you will see the vein of this thread. It's all about taking the proverbial out of caravanners, hence the thread title.

Ah, thanks JK. It’s a daily occurrence in some places, narrow roads, drivers unfamiliar with routes. I’m sure we have all been there, including the nearly perfect. I live in tiny little narrow street, it’s a proper nightmare for those who don’t know it. We all periodically go out to help those stuck to reverse safely. 

surely a twin axle Bailey Unicorn would have been fitted with a mover, so sensibly could have unhitched, reversed the caravan into the even narrower lane, let the traffic clear hitch up and drive off , caravan would no doubt sustain some damage but driving into the unknown surely was the worst option
