Travelling in a caravan does not appeal to me. When we were younger we took a couple of family holidays in a campervan; after those trips I decided that sleeping in a bed on wheels was not for me.
When we travelled around Southern Africa several years ago we hopped from place to place in a bedless caravan, the Cessna Caravan, a rather basic aircraft. While I am not fond of one engine aircraft this plane got us safely from destination to destination more comfortably and quickly than the on road in a 4WD vehicle.

On our recent trek across Arnhem Land it was a relief to travel our last leg from Seven Spirit Bay to Darwin in a Cessna Caravan after eleven days of travel in an Outback Spirit Truck.

Fluffy seat covers add to the comfort, aisles are narrow
and leg room is minimal |
