It might sound like a daft question, but can you day trip with a Caravan? For example, pull into a quiet beach car park and use it as a base for the day. I can't find anything online. If it's ok, any suggestions for destinations in South Wales that would be suitable ?
Cheers

Obviously everybody has differing requirements and opinions. BUT I wouldn't be bothered winding up the steadies and hitching up the van just to go out for the day.
Much rather put the camping loungers / folding table in the boot of the car. drive to the beauty spot, spend the day and return home at night.
Mind you, I live in an area which abounds in easily reachable beauty spots .
Others may not be so fortunate, so taking the caravan for a day's outing may be their best option.

My view as well. All that shuffling off the drive, hooking up etc so that I can brew up at some beauty spot - easier to take a flask. That's where MHs score - just get in and drive plus you have your loo with you. Just need big parking bays.
What are you going to 'hook up' to at a beauty spot....
surely, a mh would use gas and a caravan would stay ar home...

Why should a caravan stay at home? Caravans use gas as well BB - didn't you realise that? You can use your van in the same way as a motorhome.
Jill, yes i do know that caravans can use gas.....although many seem determined to use as little in their lifetime as possible....
i was referring to the 'hooking up'.....which the vast majority of caravans seem unable to do without.....you excepted, of course
