What was........

From people that have never had a motorhome is why spend all that money on a motorhome, you could pay for a lot of nights in a hotel for that sort of money

Or even worse..
For that kind of money, you could get a good used caravan and 2nd hand Range Rover.
You could spend some of your savings on a nice campsite at Scarborough.. It has a swimming pool, kid's facilities and bingo in the club bar, nightly
 
Bit off topic as it was not trivial.

The nicest question I was asked was

When we were parked on a verge and a farmer on a Land Rover passed as we were sitting outside having a glass of wine. He stopped, backed up, so I thought there was going to be adverse comment.

But no - he came back to ask if we would like to go to the farm to park and have water etc. Very nice. I politely thanked him for his generous offer, but said we were fine there.

Not all wildcamping is frowned up and country people can make one welcome.

We once did a weekend on a campsite like that, funnily enough it was at Scarborough, I thought I had died and gone to Hell, and it didn’t even have the bar and bingo, or I would have been convinced I had died
 
We were lunching outside a French supermarket that had closed for lunch.. As they do in the small towns, on Sundays

An English reg car drove up . An embarrassed looking lady got out and asked us when the store would reopen........" Monday afternoon", we replied.
" Can I use your toilet,please ? She said. You can imagine what we felt, inside.

Jenny,begrudgingly agreed.

Then we heard laughter and a whoop from the car. The driver and another couple, in the back , were punching the air.
". Got Yer!"Said the woman.

It turned out they were all ex- motorhomers. They had bet her she couldn't pull it off.


They handed over a nice bottle of white & fizzy and drove off weaving and giggling.
 
How did you get that down here? Same way I’m gonna get it back out drive it

Well I can answer that one cos I have had vans before :)

Reckon our favourite is Lomond Woods in Balloch, wonderful staff and real friendly, great location for travelling round as well :) Not been there for a few years but will definitely be one in future when we need a pit stop day/night in mh
