They may seem corny or something that your grandparents would own but caravans are becoming more and more popular says The Sunday Times. Some fashion magazines have already celebrated their retro charm and their nostalgic sensation, caravan clubs are continuously signing new members and are also expanding their facilities and operations. But why? What is the deal with caravans?
More people went on caravan trips in the UK than to Spain last year. This is an impressive number, as for more than a decade now, the Iberian Peninsula has been the leading holiday spot for the British.
