I notice this topic has had 200 views - is this because of people looking to see what roulotte means?

 :-[

Eish, I had no idea the word is so obscure.... Can a mod maybe correct the topic title?

No, I think the title should stand, despite the joke about the word (it wasn't just me!). One of the benefits of PF being international is learning new things about other places, people and languages, before the whole world becomes a Macdonald's!
For example, the word 'camper' is used for both roulottes (I had to over-ride the Auto-correct to type that!) and motorhomes in the US and Canada, I believe; 'caravan' can mean a roulotte or a string of camels, 'trailer' means all sorts of things (not always a wheeled vehicle either!).
I had never heard the word 'bangs' applied to hair before I began collecting PM.
At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)

Shows how young you are - it was a popular hair style in the inter-war years.

We have Funstores here in Belgium, so I guess it will show up here as well...

Do we? I guess you’re confusing it with the shops “Fun” (https://www.fun.be) ;-) . This article is on sale in the Playmobil funstores :-)

Yeah, but it is the one normally used here - or at least it was, when I was a cub (a million years ago)..
What is a caravana then?

Having seen the youtube videos of Russian driving that is most likely.
