Any home made caravan type thing is guaranteed to end up weighing more than a real caravan!

This wont for sure, it'll be bare basics, wooden box on wheels with an air bed a small lamp and a small flat panel heater!
Plus i can weigh stuff and keep a tally!

Hi Robbie
You mentioned a small teardrop to wiggle between the trees. Remember trailers narrower than the towing vehicle are difficult to see in the mirrors.
They are b*st*rds to reverse, and you can't stand up in them to get dressed.
A small caravan would be a better bet. Eriba Puck, not many in the U.K. a bit of a 'fashion item' so expensive.
There are those French 'Rapido' fold down caravans that fold flat like a trailer tent, but I think they are quite 'sought after' too.
Regards to Emma & 'littl'un
Have fun & good luck.

Cheers for heads up terry.
hoping teardrop would be lightweight enough to unhitch and manoeuvre manually.
have towed before but Also know first-hand how much of a b*stard reversing is... steering opposite way to make turn etc.
Plan would be to basically only drive forward with it hitched !!

The "fun " me and RonTransit and my pal mark had getting rons caravan in... fek me took 2 days to get it manouvered cos There wasnt much room to swing the mk5 once caravan was thru gates!

I'd have done that without the motor attached, mind you, you can get motor movers for caravans these days we move our caravan around manually

[robbie.cee]

Seen those motor movers.... need a friggin steam roller to level the bumps and dips first, thats why it took so long to move rons caravan!

[RustWidow]

Oh well. If you're going to try and roll things around on a mini mountain what else do you expect? Hehehe

[MinorMatt]

My caravan is going to be a SWB on a trailer

[robbie.cee]

2 rear ends of a mk5 be a cool "airstream " esque trailer if welded together so ya have 2 doors front 2back!
Pix pls matt !!

[robbie.cee]

Or do you mean literally a swb on a trailer lol
