Interesting. In an article on the Scotsman website about caravanning, it says:
If you're under 35 - actually, make that 55 - perhaps full-on caravanning is still a little bit staid for you. Do what surfer dudes do and get yourself a beat-up VW camper van instead. It's basically a caravan by any other name, but has rather more street cred.

PS. I would so hate to have a towing caravan - I just couldn't cope with the driving and manoevering. A VW camper is (I'm just guessing here) compact and much more manageable. I've stayed in static caravans (mobile homes) - and enjoyed the experience. Perhaps the French sunshine, wine and good food had a little something to do with it....
Well, not exactly. But if I were to ever to get hitched (again) I'd follow this couple's example.

A bit belated, I know, but hey, I've been busy! Didn't have the greatest Christmas/New Year for reasons too sad to say here... but I did have some fab camper van themed pressies!
