Bushcraft expert Ray Mears has lost a lucrative public speaking engagement at a major camping show after he branded caravans “mobile bread bins”.
Appearing on the BBC’s Room 101 show, Mears complained:“Swathes of our coastline are just covered in these things. I wouldn’t mind so much if they could be painted green, but they have to be painted white. Gleaming white.”
“You go down to Devon and all you can see are cities of these displaced urban people in their ghastly white caravans.”
Mears recorded his appearance on the show last year, but the show was only broadcast on last week – a month before he was due to appear at the Camping and Caravaning Show.
Breakdown cover from the ETA includes cars towing trailers and caravans as standard and the company was this year awarded the Guinness World Record for smallest caravan. The tiny QTvan is designed to be towed behind a mobility scooter or a bicycle. It may escape the wrath of Ray as it is painted silver and not white.
