As the Caravan Club prepared to celebrate their centenary, the October 2006 issue of their magazine was a suitably special edition at 156 pages.
Among a number of special features, they caught up with racing driver Mark Blundell who had a longstanding relationship with caravans: “My first home was a caravan. We lived on site for just over a year before moving into our first house.” Once he got into racing, motorhomes were a part of everyday life once again: “When I went to America to race, I used one of those big American motorhomes as my on-site hotel. We would drive from location to location and in between we enjoyed holidays.
“It’s a great way to get the family together. I think just spending family and quality time together in that environment are things you never forget. You’re all part and parcel of the setting up when you arrive on site and dismantling and getting on the road together.”
