Yet another reason for not owning a caravan.

I like wobble boxes myself

Its was funny though,even if it was very very set up

What a great one.
Especially the big hole in the caravan at the gas station. The reaction from Jeremy, great.

It had to be set up. Not the best episode, IMHO, but it is the best programme on telly by far.

Gave me a good chuckle. Love the turning in the road....

And the inbred banjo music from the "Hills Have Eyes" at the Dorset pub. Arf

I hate to say this, but.....

It was so very obvious in every respect.
Three point turn with a trailer on the back ? Don't be stupid.

They should have got the stig to hand brake turn it!

I'd have payed to have seen that.

3 point turn? I'd have picked up the gauntlet and run off with it!!
It was obviously set up but still very funny. JC's inability to control a gas hob is hardly a reason not to go camping!! Unless you are camping next to him!

could not stop laughing for ages

Great show

I've had to do this a few times with the race car on the trailer but i very quickly learnt to be very careful about where i did it.

They say moving house is the most stressful thing you can do in life but they're wrong - it's turn a bloody trailer around!

Reversing trailers is my thing.
It's something I can do. I forget to go to the toilet sometimes, when I do remember to go, I sometimes forget to wipe.
I can't cook or wash clothes without changing all the colours(perhaps I shouldn't be cooking clothes). I'm unable to sit still on a chair or eat without spilling food down my vest. I struggle to drive forward with much success, but I can reverse a trailer!!

The Mc Donalds at Dundee is just big enough for the Transit van/Brian james trailer to fit through the drive through. We did it once with the young lad sitting in the race car and he drew up at the window to pick up the order
the spotty 3 star generals were stumped to say the least.
HOWEVER the K.F.C. opposite has a wide enough drive through for the van and trailer. BUT the hairpin corners are too tight.

I must have looked a right cock
