Caravans - the greener way to holiday
January 3, 2008
The National Caravan Council has launched a new web site to promote the green credentials of caravan holidays. Hmmmm. I am not convinced, but I did visit the site - greencaravanning.com - and found that driving a large car and caravan from London to Malaga does compare favourably with alternative forms of transport in terms of emissions. However, my youth was spent on caravanning holidays so the thought of driving to Malaga at 50mph is not a good one.
Most of the caravans I see on the road tend to be pulled by gas guzzling 4x4s carrying two - usually older - people at most. How environmentally friendly is that?
