Just wondering ... . I would have to do the test to be able to buy one, but what's the max size?
Largest size caravan you can tow on the road?

7m
No mention of length in there.
It's 7m excluding drawbar and hitch is you're towing with a vehicle under 3500kg GVW.
It's 12m excluding drawbar and hitch is you're towing with a vehicle over 3500kg GVW.
the above are obviously dependent on if you have the appropriate category on your licence (B+E).

Twelve meters? Bloody hell, that's mental! You'll need some proper towing capacity for that.

12k on a caravan I can take my kids for new experiences, with decent comfort to enjoy life experiences 6 times a year vs paying crazy prices for one holiday year
Nothing you've linked relates to the cost of holiday with a caravan compared to other options. Are you simply perpetuating an old cheap joke? It might have felt like a cool thing to do when someone asked for specific towing advice.

What does berth mean when it comes to caravans?... . Notice 4 and 6 berth
Beds, or at least sleeping capacity.

Where do you store when not in use?
With the rest of the Fairground
Everyone I know who has a caravan (not many) stores them on local farms plenty of them offer the service pretty cheap.
That’s what we do with ours, about £300 p/a which is more than reasonable imo.
I have no issue towing (I shouldn’t given my job!) but neither does my other half after a bit of tuition from me, she often goes and collects it on her own and I meet her at site later.
