Letter: Caravaners are nicer people

From Mr Robert Price

Sir: The one and only fact in John Lyttle's article "Dear Caravaners" (24 July) is that West Country police have found a high level of faults in caravans. This is clearly a real problem, and most responsible caravaners would welcome a safety certificate for caravans.

Caravaning appeals to ordinary people for a variety of reasons. Families and retired people need economy holidays, others want to be in the countryside without the primitive discomforts of a tent in our unpredictable climate. We may not all share Mr Lyttle's idea of good taste, whatever it may be, but that is none of his business.

Yours faithfully,

Robert Price
