You love your caravan right but are you a Caravanning Enthusiast? The feeling of hitting the road excites you more than you ever thought possible. Here is the definitive guide that proves once and for all if you are a true Caravanner!!
No matter how long your trip you will be up at 5am to get started
Everyone knows that the early bird catches the worm. But Caravanning Enthusiasts also know the early bird misses the peak hour traffic. Your goal is to get through the city and into the wide open spaces before the office workers hit the road. Yes you may have weeks of holiday to come but you have to beat the rush.
You’re constantly comparing your set up to others in the park.
You know in the world of caravan’s size matters! Nothing impresses you more than a neat and tidy set up with great storage solutions. No matter where you drive your head turns when you spot a van on the road that is more impressive than your own. You befriend anyone who has a better set up than yours and insist on a van tour. You love and have to attend every caravan and camping show within 200km of your home.
You are forever wondering how much things weigh.
You have the ability to look at a fellow caravanners set up and know how much their van weighs. This can also extend to knowledge of trailer weight, shipping container weight and even small inanimate objects. If you can see it you can mentally weigh it!
You’ve given your van a name.
She’s your baby, your one true love. They home you, they give you warmth and comfort, a place to retreat at the end of a long drive. In return you give them a beautiful well-fitting name like “Venus the Van”, “Never Going Home”, “No Set Address”, “Grey Nomad Wheels” or “Well Hitched”.
You know privacy is overrated.
Living in close quarters is part of the joy of caravanning and you have come to accept and even relish in this. To be a true caravanner you need to be a people person. You don’t hesitate to invite yourself to someone’s campfire or pop in for a cuppa totally unannounced.
Your home is the road
Some may say it’s their “home away from home”. Not you this is your home. You’d far rather be living life on the road enjoying the fresh air and space than stuck indoors. Change of scenery and movement are your comfort zone.
