Yay! Let’s go 
I’d love it 
I really have given it some serious thought We’d probably want a static caravan, not one you trail around
And then, like you say, an awning.
And change our car to something like a Berlingo and build like a craft storage area in the back, a bit like this
Parked next to your caravan it would give a good extra space
Trouble is we are quite tall people and Mr M gets in the way quite a lot in a house I would probably murder him if we lived in a caravan .I would like a motor home though so I could travel about without worrying about where to stay .
I love caravan holidays, but living in one? Probs not.
Yes, if I was younger and more agile I would have one on my car. There are pop up ones which are less setting up and more aerodynamic when packed away.
Like mobile homes once you are set up your car is stuck which I thought would be a disadvantage but my niece and her husband use one and she tells me that you soon learn to make sure you don’t need anything before you set it up. The same is true of an awning of course. My daughter’s Jimney has a batwing awning which provides shelter on three sides of her car, she uses a swag, which, again if I was younger, is a great way of camping.
She usually sets it up on a stretcher similar to the one in the pic. It keeps you above the snakes 
So many choices these days, I like my teardrop camper because you stop and can use it immediately. The disadvantage is that like towing anything it makes your vehicle longer so parking in town is some times difficult but these days so many towns are “RV Friendly” and provide long parking bays for people towing campers and caravans.
I forgot to mention that somewhere I have a stretcher tent which is sort of a swag but the legs are built in. It is handy for the weekend away but doesn’t have much room inside and doesn’t have the flexibility of a swag. I am getting too old for it.
Had to live in an Anderson shelter for 57 days and nights as bombs were dropped non stop during WW2 and a ruddy caravan would have been like a palace to us.
My great grandmother was a Romanii gypsy and her vardo was absolutely stunning so my mother told me but was burnt with all her belongings in it when she died.
I would love a camper an for holidays but I couldn’t live in one Mr M gets in my way as it is .
Caravan? No way. Not even for a vacation. We are both creatures of comfort, now more than ever.
Some of these caravans are more luxurious than my house and much more mobile.
There are campers who have been trapped in Cape York for months because of flooding and have had food drops
We had a 5 birth caravan before we moved to the midlands.we kept it on our driveway in horley in Surrey and towed it for our holidays . Great times back then
@Bruce , That looks better than the average low cost house on offer in
the UK Brucy ! Plus the outback is much bigger than the garden space they allow
us to have over here !
