I went on one caravan. Never again. It was way too social for me with silly "get to know you" games, always eating together, etc. Then there were activities that I paid for and participated in that I had no interest in. Other activities that I wanted to spend more time on were rushed through. When traveling in safe areas like the US and Canada, there is no need for a caravan. I did a trip to Egypt this Spring, and there that was the only safe way to travel. So there are places where organized tours make sense. They just don't make sense RVing in the US and Canada...maybe Mexico, yes.
