Caravans in UK = Campers/RVs in USA, correct? I'm hoping Snatch didn't let me down on that cultural lesson.

My family has one and goes out fairly frequently in the spring, summer and fall. I used to go with them, but I always found it fairly boring. Then again, we never got massively drunk. It was mostly just relaxing an enjoying nature, which is okay, but not terribly exciting for a teenager.

edit: Also, most modern campers here have a ridiculous amount of amenities, so they're pretty nice to stay in. Older ones tend to be fairly bare-bones, though.
