A Story Of Five Mates And A Motorhome

Here's how five insurance-type guys managed to have a great and (arguably more importantly) cheap getaway in a motorhome/motor caravan. It had been tough in the world of insurance around this time and so we decided that a cheap getaway would be great, but it had to be cheap. So we decided to all cram into our friend's parent's motor caravan/motorhome and went on a trip around Devon and Cornwall.

I already had an image in my head as to what this holiday was going to be like and what these caravans were going to be like. I'd seen enough horror films to have a reasonably good idea what caravans looked like inside and I always thought that the guys in those films (apart from the bits with a serial killer) seemed to be having a right laugh. I guessed we'd be in a reasonably sized caravan big enough for 5 big men to be comfortable in. There were plenty to choose from, (I know because I looked them up)there was the Kentucky Camps Estros which was a huge Italian motorhome boasting up to 7 births, then there was the Elddis Autoquest 180 which could hold 6, this was going to be a great holiday!

When my friend turned up to pick me up in motorhome/motor caravan we'd be staying in, I was a little disappointed. I knew his parents enjoyed their motorhome holidays and were serious about them. They'd spent a lot of money on a Hymer but instead of a big 5-6 birth b-class this was a b-class 504 – which had 5 seats, but only 3 beds. I was asked to bring a tent.

Not disheartened, I loaded my consignment of beer into the back, and trundled off to find my camping stuff. The sun was shining, there were five of us going down to Devon and Cornwall for our cheap holiday, and we were going to have a good time. What could possibly go wrong?

I know dear reader you are waiting to read about the final tragedy that ruined the holiday. And I know I ought to invent one to make my story more interesting. The truth is that we had a fabulous time. Devon and Cornwall was heaving with likeminded people looking for good value holidays. We did loads of water-sports and mooching during the day, and loads of drinking, clubbing and pulling in the evenings.

The best part of this little jaunt was the fact that all week I didn't think about insurance once. I had an image of what a holiday in a caravan/motorhome would be like before I left, and to some extent I was right. It was a little cramped and the queue for the shower was an inconvenience, but on the whole, it was one of the best weeks of my life. This insurance guy would highly recommend a trip in a caravan or motorhome, particularly if you're strapped for cash but still want to get away from it all.
