‘Interesting’ caravan set up

[maz]

This caravan was set up on a CL where we stayed recently.

The chunky duct arrangement was to stop the fridge fumes being drawn into the van as the fridge wasn’t sealed properly. (Yes, we asked!)

This is the first time tho’ that we’ve seen a caravan with an enclosing electric fence.

Nowt so queer as folk

I recon that someone was full timing in it and didn’t want to step in something unsavoury

Not fulltimers but there were sheep in the vicinity.

 

[Richard n Ann]

We stayed in a farmers field once with about 50 sheep. They move around together in a bunch eating the grass (a munch bunch? )

So when they're at the van you probably can't get out.

This lot were well spread out in a very large field. The lambs could be quite nosy tho’.

why didn’t they just get the fridge sealed?

We wondered that too! Apparently the wind would also blow the fridge burner out from time to time …….

Either it's very windy there or more money than sense, small wind generators don't give much output unless it's blowing a gale.

I wouldn't pitch near sheep anyway. Farkin 'ell they do seem to party all night, the woolly bvggers.

That's on a seriously sloping field or they forgot to level side to side.

It was pretty windy while we were there - exposed Derbyshire hillside with lovely views.

It was quite sloping - we had to put wood blocks under the levellers on one side.

Probably provided by the land owner. About the only irritating thing that happens with animals in a field is they use a van as a rubbing post. Cows can be particularly annoying. Lambs on the other hand regard anything new as a climbing frame.

If the wind blows towards the end of the fridge chimney it will blow more fumes into the van than without it. I suspect they're a bit special I think most with any sense will pitch away from them!

Had pigs in the New Forest in a caravan at the time got woken up with the whole van rocking, that was frightening until we found out what it was.

Nope, they brought the electric fence with them. Nobody else had one and there were 4 or 5 of us scattered about the field. The sheep and lambs didn’t trouble us.

There was quite a complicated set up at the top of the duct - with an extractor fan and a swivelling top section with a wind vane.

If the "fence" is electrified it's for keeping animals away \ out. Quite common around bowling greens, etc to keep foxes from digging up worms.

good idea stops anyone cutting across your pitch?

you can see why just looking at the way the wind generator is facing.

 

[Just smiffy]

It’s to stop a Frenchman from peeing up his caravan…

No solar lights or plants.

They give a terrific output Lenny, but it's called vibration amplified by the sound box known as a motorhome/caravan.

On the towing frame there is some sort of plant in a pot - lettuce?

Maybe the fence is to keep their kids in

Needed on most sites

Good thought but they had no kids.

I suppose you could share out the kit. They can have the electric fence to keep them in and everyone else the cattle prods in case they get out
