Britain’s biggest family are staying on a caravan site, and Sue has now claimed that there’s “nothing better than van life”.
The 22 Kids & Counting stars hadn’t long returned from their luxury holiday to Florida, just five weeks ago, which was the 18th getaway in the last 20 months for this famous family.
Not only did they recently arrive home from their trip to the States, but they also enjoyed a sunny weekend in their family caravan too, before heading to The Netherlands.
Sue, who is from Morecambe and previously revealed the Primark packing essential that’s a ‘must have’ for holidays, has documented a close-up look at the family’s trip on her Instagram stories.

Posting on social media, the family’s matriarch claimed that her kids have been riding around on bikes, whilst she enjoyed a glass of wine.
The mother shared a picture of her son, Max, as she wrote: “Hired bikes today and Max has been off on his all day.”
She then gave her followers a look around the caravan site, as she added: “The camping areas were so quiet yesterday morning, then by last night they were full.
“Apparently it’s a bank holiday over here so [that] probably explains it.

Today, the family headed into Amsterdam, and took a trip to a posh cake shop, leaving many of the Radford kids stunned.
Sue shared a video of the sweet treats, which included doughnuts, waffles, macaroons and chocolate covered strawberries.
In the short clip, Sue’s youngsters were heard begging their famous mother for a sweet treat.
Whilst one little one claimed: “Mum, we need to get some of these”, another chimed in “Mummy, mummy, I want that”, whilst a third agreed “Mum, we need these.”

Sue previously revealed the real reason why the family aren’t enjoying the holidays in the UK - and no, it’s not because of the weather.

“It was cheaper for us to come to The Netherlands than it was to stay in the UK.”
She later added: “I will share costs when we get home but you will be shocked.”
The Radford’s recent holidays
EARLIER this month, Sue Radford whisked her bumper brood away for a sunny weekend in their family caravan.
Sue enjoyed the sunshine whilst Noel whipped up plenty of burgers, pork steaks and kebabs to feed his large family.
Back in April, the Radfords enjoyed a posh Florida trip.
But Sue's fans were quick to slam the mum-of-22 for risking fines and taking her kids on a ‘plastic’ family holiday.
Earlier this year, in February, the family enjoyed a mini-break in their posh caravan.
But angry Instagram users accused the mum of 'showing off' and 'rubbing it in people's faces'.
Sue and Noe recently revealed their jet-setting lifestyle has been criticised by some people online.
The duo, who first fell pregnant when Sue was 13, shared their experience with social media trolling in their page-turner, .

According to the couple - who've been married for over three decades - cruel trolls love to joke about the family, saying they ''go to Florida more times than I go to the shops'."
Talking about the hate the family gets, Sue said: ''I think it just boils down to jealousy.
"I have the mindset now - particularly since I lost my dad - that if you can afford to go on a holiday, then go.
''Life is definitely too short to say, 'Oh, maybe I should squirrel my money away in the bank' or whatever.
