Well that's an unusual combination if ever I've seen one - usually seen vintage steam pulling suitably vintage showman's trailer caravan....

Bit of a sod turning up at a forum campout saying that although you loaded everybody's firewood, you've used most of it just getting there

I'm supposed to be camping out at the last steam rally of the season here this weekend, but I've decided not to bother. I'm not too keen on the organisers & the weather looks like it's going to be crap, so I've (funnily enough) opted to fit a tow bar to my car this weekend instead. I picked up a 2nd hand one from Windsor yesterday. Yes it's a long way to go for a tow bar (about 150 miles round trip) but I was up there & back by about 1:00pm (leaving at around 9:00am), I only paid £30 for it & took my dad's HDI Peugeot, so the trip cost me about £20-£25 in diesel. Which makes a cheap tow bar.

So, what would I rather do this weekend? Watch steam engines, old cars & bikes etc on a muddy wet field, or stay at home & dismantle my car?
Well, I'd rather be camping, of course, but TBH I don't wanna get my tent wet this weekend, as I've got nowhere to dry it at the moment
& none of my family's bothering to go either, so it would be another solo affair, which is fine for site camping, but steam rallies are supposed to be a social event.

A mate of mine showed me this photo , a WW2 German truck with caravan.
Nice!

Can you imagine the state of the caravan interior when towed off-road....

What a wonderful picture, that's right up my street that one.

I could stare at that for ages, sad aren't I?

I took this photo of a caravan on a boat in Sneek , Netherlands back in August,
Have been wondering which thread to post it in.
This seems to be the silly caravan photo thread.

Whatever you take from this picture.... I gotta say two things. 1- who the F**k loaded the caravan. And 2-That is one helluva strong tow-bar!!! Classic

Don't hit the brakes so hard!!!!
