Caravan

Last 2 weeks on a Sunday, my family and I went to Newcastle for two days and one night to experience what is it like living in a caravan. Do you know what is a caravan? Have you seen in the movies where people from the US use to drive big fat lorries with almost a house at the back of the driving seat? Well that is not a caravan. That's an RV. There's a big difference then what I'm going to share today.

Let me differentiate for you between an RV and a caravan.

An RV

A caravan

An RV is a vehicle that combines transportation and temporary living quarters for travel, recreation and camping. Two main categories of RVs are motorhomes (motandorized) and towables (towed behind the family car, van or pickup).

While a caravan is a wheeled vehicle for living or travelling in, especially for holidays, that contains beds and cooking equipment and can be pulled by a car.

Okay now that you see the difference, i hope you get a clearer picture of where we stayed back in Newcastle. The best part about being in caravans in the UK during the holidays is that you get to rent them per night / per week, your choice! If you like to rent and say stay for one or two nights and you have no place to go, I suggest that you rent a caravan and stay in its park just like you rent a room !

That is precisely what we did. Alhamdulillah the caravan that we rent was much much bigger than the one you saw in the example i've given above. But it cant be as big as a house but it has 3 bedrooms that can fit up to six people ! There was also a dining section, family hall, a tv, a very small kitchen, one toilet and one shower. So cute aite? Here's a sneak peak of our caravan :D

There were two bedrooms with queen sized beds and one room with 2 single beds. I got the first room in front of the door and it was cozy as ever ! (Despite the size of the room) 

Here`s what it looks like on the outside.

These caravans are located in a holiday park which comes with an entertainment site that has a swimming pool, a range of family outdoor activities and cafes. It is a good idea and my father thought what would it be like if we open one site like this in Malaysia. Turns out we forgot about the weather back at home. There`s no way we are able to invest in such business! Its going to feel oven hot despite the fact that the caravan is made of fibre glass.

Alhamdulillah for this ooportunity to feel what its like to stay in a caravan. My family and I are looking forward to staying in a RV in the future. Hope you enjoyed !
