We had a 14' tourer for nearly 20 years. We used it regularly from Spring to Autumn, away most weekends, and at home it sat on the drive hooked up to the house electrics and made a very handy "flatlet" for up to 5 guests (complete with loo, cooker, gas fire, electric kettle and telly and a little hoover - took a lot of work off me when unexpected relatives turned up).
My husband was very particular about loading and stability, having seen so many wobbly caravans (and a few disasters) on the roads. His pride wouldn't let him be classed as just another "bl**dy caravanner" by other road users - let's face it, we all see the ones who hold everyone up and tow like prats. You need to get the loading right and invest in a stabliliser bar.
For the last 5 years we used to put it on a site next to the beach at Ainsdale for the whole of August and go along for weekends/weeks or let other family members use it. The site had electric hook-up and a toilet/shower block but, sadly, that site has now gone. We were also members of the Caravan Club and able to use their small sites - usually up to 5 caravans with sanitation facilties.
It was great fun, while it lasted, and a comfortable way to see the British Isles. Go for it - you can always sell it if you don't like it.
