As the late light turns into twilight blue, the warm orange glow of two caravan campers can be seen through both the front and rear windows of their caravan at the Trewethett Farm Caravan Club Site, Tintagel, Cornwall. The wife watches TV at the back while the husband reads his newspaper shows the small world that caravanners enclose themselves in when on a camping holiday. Caravanning is one the favourite leisure pastimes in Britain, its association, the elite Caravan Club, was founded in 1907 and now represents nearly 1 million members (caravanners, motor caravanners and trailer tenters) and has an annual turnover of £86 million. On the open road, the caravan is as ridiculed and despised for its slowness and the width it occupies on narrow country lanes.
