In the US, we wouldn't call that a caravan. That's a mobile home. A caravan would be something that's regularly towed behind a car or truck. I think that's the more normal use for the word in the UK too - at least judging by all the times Top Gear took the p*ss out of caravans. That was a cool video though, I've never seen the process of delivery for one of those things.

In Canada, I think it qualifies as either a mobile home or tiny house -- being movable -- and on this continent some people do live in large holiday-type campers. I was just taken by surprise & very impressed by the crew 😃PS--At one point, I lived in a working railway station on the Canadian prairies. Until I was 7 my father was a station agent for the Canadian Pacific Railway. I loved it.@@leecarlson9713

It's a good thing your mobile home (as we call em) wasn't any bigger. I guess measuring out and knowing how much space you have for one helps. I lived in a 12''x68' mobile for 20yrs at a mobile home park. I watched a few company's do tight manoeuvre's in our park, and even a big crane was once needed to lift a mobile up and over another one because the ground was sopping wet with deep mud. It was the only way to move it at the time. This one was a little bit of a doosy too, and these guys sure knew how to get things done. (Cheers to all)

Wow. Im in the USA and past middle-aged, and lived in several mobile homes as a child and teenager. The delivery was so very different there. But then the size is much smaller, thankfully. We lived in 12 or 14' x70 or80' long ones. They were hauled in by a semi trailer but had their own wheels underneath. This was a bit harrowing and dicey looking compared to my own experiences. But the team looked proficient at what they were doing. Noticed the flu pipe/ exhaust was bent up, and there was a bit of missing trim near the roofline in a spot. Make sure they fix it before they leave. That's all part of their job.
