Caravanette. Old word for camper van. My late neighbour used to call out motorhome a “mobile home”. Our old friends call them dormobile, motorcaravan (similar to some Spanish who don’t use autocaravanas)..

It was a term used in the 70's to denote a Bedford CF or similar

Mobile home I always assumed referred to a static caravan (ie not really mobile but transportable) Dormobile was a brand of motorcaravan years back but I don't think anything was ever called a caravanette. I believe there was many years ago a brand called a 'Caravette'.

Just looked it up, a caravette was a trailer caravan.

A load of tosh

Now, do you really not know?

Do you not have a good friend that you could ask?

Did your Mother not even give you a hint?

Your GP could tell you, they are used to talking about such things.

For sure, I am not going to tell you on an open forum that is monitored for content.

PS. You could drop me a PM and I could get the Wife to reply.

French one is a Camping Car, English translation Camping Bus.

I think the split screen Volkswagen was called a Caravanette, Corgi certainly made toy ones called VW Caravanette.

Think that's a local who has put that up cocking.

Really believe that one and no TRO.

Doesn't that sign refer to builders vans that have been adapted for eating and sleeping.

If your V5C states MOTOR CARAVAN then your vehicle is not adapted as it is purpose built or rebuilt for eating and sleeping.

French one is a Camping Car, English translation Camping Bus.

I was joking should have added a but yes your quite right, however in English using the french diminutive 'ette' after a word used to be popular signifying a smaller version of the standard. As in a very small kitchen being called a kitchenette small dining room a dinette or even small house maisonette. Reminds me of George Bush junior who famously said in a failed put down, 'the trouble with the French is they have no word for entrepreneur'

 

[Minxy]

Okay you 'bog-eyed' lot, if you look at the sign properly you'll see that someone has messed with it by blocking part of the second 'o' in cooking ... the supposed 'c' doesn't match any of the others ... just call me Miss Marple!

You're stuffed if you have a PVC though ....

All my old vw t2 campers were caravanettes. That sign was written by someone at least 70 years of age


And probably owns a boarding house aka b&b
