The US president's wife, Laura Bush, likes to travel in style, in a caravan, according to a source.

When flying to visit troops in Afghanistan the first lady had residency in her own caravan, held inside the official aircraft, reports the Metro.

The Airstream vehicle is equipped with a variety of things to keep George Bush's wife content in her travels, including comfy leather seats, a TV and DVD player and two beds.

Mrs Bush's caravan's interior is decorated with wood panelling, grey carpet and thick window shades, meaning she can block out the world and relax.

The vehicle is fitted aboard the Spirit of Strom Thumond, a "no frills troop carrier", according to the website.

Mrs Bush is the latest high-profile caravan fan, with Radio 2 DJ Johnnie Walker having recently purchased an Autotrail motorhome, in which to travel France in.

Other stars that have supported the home on wheels include Formula One stars Lewis Hamilton and Rubens Barrichello.
