If Kylie were a caravan, she'd be a Pod; cute, curvy and so small it can be towed by a Mini, it comes in chic pastel shades and miraculously houses a double bed, cooking and washing facilities. You can hire one from the manufacturers, Pod Caravans (01984 632322; podcaravans.com ) from £75 per weekend, near Taunton.

Hugely fashionable and perfect for surfing holidays or festivals, the classic VW campervan is available for rent from £60 a day from Welsh Coast Campers (01646 680011; welshcoastcampers.co.uk ), which will help find pretty spots along the Pembrokeshire coastline, and rent surf gear. Also try Kamper Hire (0845 226 7869; kamperhire.co.uk) or Campers2Go (01929 475619; campers2go.co.uk.
