If you want something super-cool, then look no further than an Airstream trailer. Lots of movie stars request them on set; Sean Penn lived in one, and you can even buy an Airstream with a Ralph Lauren-designed interior.
A campervan or caravan is brilliant for those who are easily bored in one place. They’re also good if you fancy getting creative with your space, as you can stamp your own style on the interior. I think they look particularly sweet if you go for high kitsch when kitting them out.
A word of warning, though: it may well be a peculiarly British thing, but I’m always bemused by people who take to the road for an adventure and end up sitting in a lay-by on the side of the motorway, having their lunch or a cup of tea.
Instead, if you need a break, meander through country lanes and stop in beautiful country parks, woods, at a designated beauty spot, or on the outskirts of a pretty village.

Caravan of loveThis Romany caravan was built at the turn of the century for a Cornish circus dwarf, so is actually incredibly small. The colours and detail on these caravans are always stunning. |

Camper crazyThe retro chic of a campervan is undeniable and second-hand ones are widely available. The original colours are gorgeous, but you can have them re-sprayed in any shade you like. |

T@b lightThe T@b caravan is ridiculously sweet and, for something so small, unbelievably well equipped. Plus, they’ve done the seemingly impossible in making caravaning cool again. |

Air apparentVintage Airstreams are almost too cool. Spacious inside and stunning on the outside, they provide the ultimate environment in which to play house. |

Beach hut breaksThese are great spaces to camp in and can be bought or hired at many beaches and now at festivals too. Tardis-like, they are far more spacious than you might think. |

Shepherd’s delightShepherds’ huts are rather like Wendy houses for grown-ups. They’re spacious and cosy and are brilliant to have in the garden as an extra room or somewhere to escape too. |

Pod castsA great way to hang out at festivals. The PodPad is sweet, functional, warm and will keep you dry in even the wettest of festival weather. |

Hangin’ aroundIt’s great to sleep on a hammock swinging between two trees. If you prefer something a little sturdier, you can get hammocks with frames. There are versions to suit every budget. |
