A caravan was engulfed in flames last weekend during a fire in Harpers Hill, Totnes.
The Plymouth Herald reports that the incident, which took place on Saturday (7 December) at 6:20pm also badly damaged four motorcycles.
Fire crews were called to the scene and needed two hose reel jets, lighting and a water shuttle to bring the blaze under control.
A second caravan was slightly damaged in what has been deemed to be an accidental incident.
It highlights the need for caravan owners to be extra vigilant, especially during this time of year when an accident could mean a serious strain being put on to the finances of already stretched households.
The incident follows on from a fire in Redbourn, Hertfordshire, in late November, which led to the destruction of five caravans at Ver Meadows campsite.
It took firefighters from the likes of St Albans, Hemel Hempstead and Harpenden to extinguish the flames.
