CARAVAN GENIUS How to tour with no hook-up
MOST CARAVANNERS PREFER the reassurance and comfort of electrical hook-up when they pitch their van, but others enjoy going back to basics.
‘Why do it?’ I hear you cry. The main reason is the cost. Sites without hook-up and washrooms can cost as little as £6 per night, as opposed to the average £15 per night on hook-up campsites.
