No-one can accuse caravans of being stuck in the past. These much-derided British mobile homes are busy re-inventing themselves and in danger of becoming trendy.
While the standard net curtain model remains ever popular, a new genre of caravan is revitalising the industry at a time when more people are holidaying at home.
The Caravan Club, which counts Helen Mirren and Billie Piper among its members, and Take That's Mark Owen and model Nell McAndrew as fans, reports that holiday bookings are up by 40 per cent compared with last summer.
And the rival Camping and Caravanning Club, which has the outward-bound Bear Grylls as an ardent supporter, has seen a similar surge in interest this year.
Celebrities might regard caravanning as a way to return to the simple pleasures in life.
For the rest of us - particularly 35 to 44-year-olds, who, according to VisitBritain, are the most likely to do - it's a leisure pursuit which needs to fulfill our dictates on comfort and eco-friendly credentials.
For those more likely to be on the move, try the teardrop-shaped T@B, available from Blackmore Vale Leisure from £7,990. The lightweight, two-berth version weighs just 800kg when fully-loaded, 'which opens up a far wider market beyond people with big cars, as you can tow this with a Mini,' says Blackmore Vale's Paul Hopkins.
'We meet lots of people who say "I don't even like caravans, but I love this",' he says.
The T@B 400 four-berth version, which starts at £14,900, includes a stargazing electric window.
