Anyone have one of these? Been looking at them lately, as we tend to do a fair bit of off-grid camping, and having the facility for a live 240 v socket in the van occasionally is very tempting. With Black Friday comming up fast, there may be a few deals about. Any thoughts/experiences would be...

Planning on spending a few days in the Whitby area next week and looking for any suggestions where would be suitable to park a 6.36m CampEvan. Has been a few years since we went to Whitby, and seem to remember that Whitby is not known for its love of Campervans/MH’s. Any pointers much...

Am thinking of going away for the weekend, and the weather forecast is showing a -1 for Saturday night where we want to go. Have a PVC with underslung water tanks, so not insulatered other than the thickness of the tank wall, although I have insulated the pipes that go from the tank to the...

We are due to pick up our new van on 8th December, and it is shod with Continental 215/75/R16 C tyres. Not the camping tyres (thank goodness) but these are summer tyres. As we plan to use Van all year round, want to get some all season tyres on asap. So, looked at getting the Continental Van...

Hi all, we are due to collect our new Campervan in a couple of weeks time, and it has Continental tyres fitted 215/75 R16 C. Now, on our previous Camper, we also had continental tyres, but were 225/75 R16 CP. I wasn’t overly impressed with the ride to be honest, as found the Camper tyres a bit...

Hi all, our new van has just arrived at the factory, and so will be going into build shortly. When we originally spec’d the Van, we opted for a lpg/electric Truma unit, for the hot water/ heating etc. However, now thinking about changing it to a Diesel/electric Truma instead. A bit more...

Hi all, am due to pick up a VW Camper in a couple of weeks time, so the excitement is building👍👍 Now, am thinking of lowering it a little, as it is literally as it left the factory. Not being mechanically minded, am wondering what is involved, is it an easy job to do, or does it involve getting...

Hi, has been a while since using the site, and see that the lay out of the site has changed since my last visit. Trying to go on the on-line Map, and as soon as you tap on a stop, a box comes up, saying that you must be a full member. But, i am a full member. Don’t understand technology at the...

So, having never been to Scotland, and always had it on our ‘places to visit’ list, we find ourselves with 2 weeks free, so have decided to leave for Scotland on saturday. Will the midges still be asleep? Or, with the recent hot weather, will they be about? Thanks

Hi all, thinking of going to Oxford this comming weekend. Anyone, know any MH friendly Car Parks or know whether the Park & Rides have height barriers etc. Any advice much appreciated. Thanks

I believe that members get a discount if staying at the above site. There appears to be a monthly code to quote when booking, is this still the case? Am planning on going to the Anglesey race circuit this weekend (1st round of the TVR Challange) and thinking of staying on afterwards to have a...

In 4 weeks time we both retire:banana::banana: and so will be off in our van a lot more:drive: Thinking of joining the NT. not that interested in looking round old houses to be honest, but note that their car parks are free to members, and they do seem to have a lot close to the coastline/Sea...

Hi all, was in Lynton over the weekend, and was planning on parking up at the above POI. It has now been closed/fenced off and looking like works are being carried out, as it is being dug up. So certainly for the near future it is not an option. Not sure what they are doing but time will tell...

Hi all, thinking of heading down to Cornwall later next week, and thinking of dropping in to Widemouth Bay. Anyone know what the parking is like there, and is there any chance of overnighting there? Thanks.

Hi all, spent last weekend at Hayling Island. What a great location, parked literally on the edge of the beach, (well gravel/cobbles) and a pub close by. Sleep all night with the crashing waves, heaven! Anyway, anyone know of any similar Locations? Where you can park literally close to the sea...

Hi, someone was telling about a site a few weeks ago, which was sited right opposite the sea wall in Walcot. Carn't remember who it was, and cannot find the thread. Am thinking about looking up this field/site with a view to staying there at the weekend. It had water and Chem Disposal, but no...

Ok, am interested what people do about disposing of the contents of their cassettes, whilst wild camping. If we are careful, and use toilets during the day whilst out etc, we can go approx three days before we need to find a chemical disposal point. Not normally a problem, as although the we...

Hi all, we have been closely following 'Wisewoman's' recent thread, as we to are going to the Scottish isles for 4 weeks from mid April till mid May. We are in our first year of Motorhoming, so still very much on the steep learning curve! We have done several trips on the mainland and have been...

Hi all, we currently have a 7-5 metre Coachbuild MH, and to cut a long story short, we are planning on moving, where parking it may be an issue, so are considering a PVC. Not only will this be shorter, but also a bit narrower. So, have looked at several makes, and have to say the Auto-Trail...
