A twenty five year caravan owner here. Had many wonderful family holidays across Europe and the UK.
Now looking to buy a motorhome . Two people traveling UK & Europe for seven months next year. So, I want a great two birth with a fixed bed.
While I’m experienced with all things campsite wise, any tips / hints / do’s / don’ts when it comes to motorhome touring? |

With a caravan you park up on the campsite then use your car to do sightseeing.
With a motorhome you do the sightseeing on the way to the campsite.
In Europe with a motorhome you can use the Aires system. |

Thanks. That’s a great point regarding the sightseeing and one for me to remember. |

We've had m/h's in and around Europe and Scotland for twenty five years. Being able to leave the caravan at a campsite is a liberation but campsites are SOo expensive. So we generally use aires and just pull off the road somewhere quiet. We've only once had an attempted break-in during all that that time. Look at Stellplatz app and Camp4night. |

I know. I will do the ‘Schengen shuffle’.
Probably first few months in UK & Ireland , then two months in EU, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, then last month to get back across EU . Thanks Boris! |

There’s been a real boom in sales I believe, and a shortage of new builds. I’m after a two birth with an end bed - fixed. I know enough to avoid the Ford engine, so probably PSA / Fiat |
