In Europe, RV or Travel Trailers are called Caravans. You’ve seen the guys on Top Gear make fun of them, destroy them, and make incredibly crude jokes about them, and ultimately even build their own. Well, while we dig cool old RV’s and Trailers around here, we also like carnage and that’s why we’re running this great list of 10 Outrageous Caravaning Videos that our pal from across the pond Luke Rees sent in this week. What we find almost as entertaining as Luke’s story and choice of videos is the fact that he normally write serious travel blogs and such about the caravans, vacations, and more. We’re fairly certain he was being paid for real work while writing this up and doing the “research” for what videos to us. Good on you Luke!

Here’s what he came up with and we love it.

The Ten Most Outrageous Caravan Videos

You know those bulky, clunky, vehicles you always get stuck behind on a lonely country road? Yeah caravans. Well it turns out they aren’t so dull after all. In fact, they make for some of the most badass machines on the market.

They are your home away from home – your domestic bliss on the road – and all of that compactly filled homely rubbish looks spectacular when the entire thing gets blown up!

Take a look at the best ones on the internet:

How To Make A Caravan Disappear

We begin with a crowd-pleasing banger…and it is a banger. Michael Bay would certainly be impressed (plus, no CGI went into making this clip). I’m interested to know what the occasion might be – village funeral?

Caravan Racing

To be honest, this race was doomed right from the start… right from the moment someone even came up with the concept, it was doomed. Makes for a damn good spectator sport though!

Vacuum Packed Caravan

This was a feature on Norwegian comedy-documentary show ‘Ikke gjør dette hjemme’ (translation: ‘Don’t do this at home’). The concept of the show is to defy the warnings and restrictions on various items to see what happens. In Season 3 they vacuum pack a caravan, because that’s exactly what you’re not supposed to do (good stuff starts around 3:00).

Caravan Verses Hill

Don’t know what this guy was thinking attempting to tow a twin axle caravan in a busted up Citroen up a 20% incline hill. Many lessons were learnt that day. I hope the laugh track means that the driver was alright in the end!

World Record Caravan Jump

Here’s a particularly plucky stunt pulled off by Derek – stuntman at Fifth Gear. This guy pulled a caravan in a BMW 530i to break the Guinness world record for the longest caravan ramp jump. It now stands at 187 ft. 8 inches (30 ft. and 2 inches further than the last maniac who tried it).

How To Make A Caravan Disappear (Take 2)

Here we have another exploding caravan. Wait for it…

Caravan Accident

Stuck between a rock and a hard place, this caravan is getting nowhere. I’m wondering how he managed to get it in there in the first place? Maybe the caravan was there first and they built the house around it (the caravan looks old enough).

RV Vs Wind

It’s a windy day out on the interstate and this caravan is going…. going… gone!

Caravan Pulled By Push Bike

This construction worker deserves a medal. He’s got thighs like an ox and yet still needs stabilisers. What a trooper.

Self-Driving Caravan

I don’t even know what to say about this one.

Luke is a travel writer from London who writes on behalf of Cosford Caravans, a Bailey dealership based in the West Midlands. Luke likes to watch videos of carnage whilst he’s at work (something his boss does not approve of).
