The joy of having a caravan means you can simply travel to a different part of the country to experience a mini getaway.
And now, new research has found that caravanners actually take twice as many holidays as the average Brit, highlighting the ease with which people can up sticks and have a relaxing weekend break.
A report by the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) found that that the typical British family has around three holidays a year but Shield Insurance found that 19 per cent of caravanners took up to ten breaks.
It is not just a case of sticking to staycations, as the insurance company found that 43 per cent of caravan owners ventured abroad for their holiday with the likes of France, Spain, Italy and Switzerland all being popular destinations.
As Christmas approaches there will be caravanners all over the country that will be planning that one last getaway before the big day arrives on the 25th.
