Do caravan holidays prepare movie stars for life in trailers?

I just saw a picture of Nigella Lawson washing up in a trailer.

Presumably she will have gone to fill a bucket up from the communal tap shortly beforehand.

And this is my question - do the movie stars find it useful to have had prior experience of going on caravan holidays for the time that they will go on to spend in trailers.

How similar are the trailers to caravans?

Are there any movie stars here who can explain the differences?

PS I know that Nigella Lawson is not a movie star, but I remember Julia Roberts doing crochet in hers and that one off LA LA Land watching Labyrinth on the telly in hers.

Hollywood stars use Fifth Wheels when filming these are a world away from your bog standard caravan, have a Google, they are like mini apartments on wheels.
We have a caravan and regularly holiday with friends who have a fifth wheel, they are luxury on wheels. Certainly no trudging to the tap for water, the tanks hold gallons and they have regular sized toilets and showers.
I don't think celebs have anything to be worried about.

Which campsite in Prestatyn do they go to with one of those?

You probably need planning permission to rock up with one of those @AnOldCynic @RJB73

Our friends have never had much trouble getting onto most of the sites we frequent, they always ring ahead to make sure there is enough turning space because you need a large truck to tow them (the have a massive American RAM truck). These RVs are becoming quite popular, there is often at least one or two on the sites we go to. They are lovely and I will have one when I win the lottery lol.

They have actually been to Wales a few times,not sure which parts though.

I have known three people who work in film (or worked as one died earlier this year) and cannot imagine any of them at a caravan park in Prestatyn, or indeed anywhere else.

That’s acting, though, isn’t it @LlynTegid?

I’m sure if the movie was set in Prestatyn they would have to draw on their childhood experiences of caravanning there

and, as a bonus, they could also access those transferable caravan skills for functioning in the trailer.
