Glasses in Caravan

I'm not one of those with either a campervan or a caravan. I'd love to have one but my wife, who doesn't do camping, reckons a campervan buys a lot of nights in nice hotels.

This year a friend has offered to lend me his campervan for the three festivals I do over the summer. But at present I'm not planning to take it to Glasto because we always meet up with a group of friends and camp in the same area.

However I'm wondering what the atmosphere is like in the Campervan/Caravan area. Any experiences or advice?

Thought I'd bump this as I was just checking to see what the latest advice regarding glasses in campervans is.. and the answer is.. pull it all out. Windows and side-mirrors are allowed, but that's aboot it. Not a problem as long as you know in advance. :rolleyes:

I took up my VW up in 2005 but wouldn't be tempted to take it again, I didn't find it that friendly - A lack of smiles! You don't tend to see that many people as people are in and out of the festival at different times or maybe everyone was avoiding me :O

It's also quite a walk.... and one heck of a hill!

    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
    • Same. Shower and back out in a taxi!
