The number of people deciding to have a holiday in their home country has been increasing for a number of years now. With the increase in numbers many people today are discovering that a road trip from home is great and exciting way to see and experience new things in the countryside as well as other towns.

Owning your own caravan gives you the freedom to explore often unseen parts of your home country as a caravan is literally a home away from home. Having the benefit of offering many of the conveniences and luxuries of home, a caravan also has the added benefit of having the flexibility to travel almost anywhere.

Caravan awnings come in many different colours, shapes, styles, sizes, and will fit any caravan and if you're careful can be accommodated within any budget. Not unlike a family tent a caravan awning is generally constructed from acrylic or polyester for awning material and steel or aluminium for the frame. These materials provide relative lightweight products that demonstrate both strength and durability.

The unfortunate side to caravan awnings is the weight. No matter how much technology advances and the materials used become lighter, the size of some of these awnings just makes them very heavy to transport about. For this reason you will often find caravans with awnings at camp sites were the vans are parked permanently or in destinations were people often go on holiday for a few weeks at a time.

However with modern technology we are now able to buy a caravan porch awning. These items are of much less weight but are only designed for short term use. Caravan porch awnings are ideal for those that love to enjoy weekend breaks in their caravan or just like to explore a new area every few days.

So no longer do you have to trail muddy boots into your nice clean caravan or drip your waterproofs dry in the shower area, all you need is a caravan awning. What type of awning would best suit your type of holiday is totally up to you, but remember once its up you may never want to go home again.

Karl is a keen caravanner and has purchased many used caravan awnings in his time. He is trying out used caravan porch awnings for the shorter trips of this season but still preffers the space of is Isabella awning.

Well the credit crunch is here and we all need to cut back on life’s little luxuries. So Holidays are one of the areas where we can all cut back. For those of you who usually travel abroad you have two choices this year no holiday, or a cheap holiday in the UK.

Where can you have a reasonable cheap holiday in the UK? Of course it's staying in a static caravan on the beautiful Welsh coastline. I know many of you that have not been camping for years think that staying in a static caravan is only one step up from slumming it in some awful tent on a dingy camping site. You may have vivid memories of water standpipes, and outside toilets and shower blocks. But let me assure you that staying in a static caravan can be as luxurious as and much cheaper than a nice hotel. Furthermore, a caravan is like staying in a mini apartment which would be outside the affordability for most people when compared to renting a mini apartment in a hotel.

Many caravans now have double glazing and central heating. They all have running water, shower rooms, fully fitted kitchens and comfortable living rooms with TVs, sky dishes and even DVD players. Most caravans have either two or three bedrooms. If you were to rent a three bedroom apartment in a nice hotel it would cost a fortune for just for one week. But the cost of renting a static caravan for a week is very reasonable. So therefore let me assure you that staying in a static caravan is far from slumming it. Oh yes but it's all self catering I hear you say! Yes it is if you want it to be but most caravan holiday parks are now wonderful entertainment centers for the whole family. In fact you may never need to leave the caravan park for the entire stay of your holiday as everything you need for a complete holiday is on site. Children's fun clubs, swimming complexes, pubs clubs, restaurants and beautiful coastlines with many varied beaches and of course the sea. The really cool thing about all this is that you can enjoy all these activities without having to drive or even walk very far to get to them.

For me, one of the best things about staying in a static caravan is that many parks are right on the coast. There are not many reasonably priced hotels that are right next to the coast with beautiful sea views. I do not know of many hotels when you can walk outside your door and be on the beach in less than a minute, but there are numerous caravan parks where this is the case. One of the other things worth mentioning is that caravan parks are very child friendly with plenty of grass areas for children to run and play without fear of road traffic. Furthermore, all the other guests on site will be families as group single-sex bookings are not allowed. Therefore, there will never be groups of lager-louts or laddettes roaming the campsite getting drunk, being sick or making a noise well into the early hours of the morning when your children are trying to sleep. One more thing worth mentioning is that caravans are detached so to speak. Therefore you never have to keep extremely quiet as there are no guests in any room right next door to yours. I can remember many holidays when the children were teenagers sitting in the living room talking chatting watching TV into the early hours of the morning and not having to worry about keeping people awake in the next room.

So there you have it plenty of reasons why the credit crunch does not mean that you cannot have a good holiday. Many years ago when I was a child a caravan holiday by the seaside was a dream holiday. We all have such high expectations now of what we should have for a holiday. Many people think that unless they go abroad it's not really a holiday. Well I think that one good thing about the credit crunch is that it may bring us back to enjoying some of the more simple things in life. The best things in life are free and we have plenty of them. We are an island and we are surrounded by beautiful coastline which is free for all to visit. Just remember that half world is starving and we moan about not being able to afford to go abroad for a holiday.

Touring with caravans and staying at different camp sites...

In the summer, it is interesting to observe the many foreigners driving on the road heading towards the south of France, which counts as the most popular tourist spot. Nearly eighty percent of the cars are from abroad or from other provinces. Usually, they come from England, the Netherlands, Germany, and Italy. The French visitors are from big cities like Paris, Rennes, Lyon, and Lille.

Among the foreigners, the British people are the ones who are considered quite extravagant because they come in new cars in the latest models. In France, caravans are the way to go, but English locals simply view caravans as nuisances to driving, especially if their cars are following these caravans. That is because they cannot overtake the caravans. But, the Foreign Secretary is very keen on caravan trips and he has made these sorts of holidays so popular. As such, English people know how to respect caravan holidays, even though they are irate about caravans.

Meanwhile, the Dutch are the ones perceived to be the economical tourists. They come in caravans and prefer to stay in campsites and bring all of their belongings, which usually include food and bicycles for each member of the family. They bring bicycles so that they can avoid additional expenses.

Of all the foreign travelers, the Germans travel in the biggest motor caravans, the most modern of which have computerized panels. They also take their motorbikes and big tents with them, along with their pairs of shoes for hiking, biking, lounging, and dinner. Yes, you heard that right.

But when it comes to driving, the Italians are seen as the attention grabbers. One recognizes the Italians by their style of driving. Their caravans, sometimes, swerve right in the middle of the road and then suddenly jerk between two lanes. Italians drive in zigzags and then they warmly greet you with hands dancing in the air. Peculiar, huh?

As mentioned earlier, in France, caravans are one of the finest ways to travel around the country, because they give you the freedom to go wherever you want sans the confines of strict itineraries. They also allow you to save money from your accommodation bills. Fayence in Var is a good place to stop by when searching for beautiful caravans. It is one of the most beautiful villages in France. Fayence in Var resembles one of those villages you see on television or in period films, where filmmakers try to reconstruct France during the Middle Ages.
