Proportion of Motorhomes?

And I thought it was motor caravan that got tucked up with those insulting covers over the windscreen and cab windows.

Mine isn't getting tucked up for the winter BB its emigrating!!

quite right, too, Jeff

23% as opposed to 33% on site. Oh, well, near enough - I can't fret about it, Nellie.

Me neither. I guess that each storage area will have a different percentage, depending on area.

when the weather starts to get really cold (September) you'll see a change for sure as all those caravans get tucked up sung for the winter

Only some, BB. We and many other caravanner tour all the year round in this country. During the winter months there are still many more caravans than M/Hs out and about.

And I thought it was motor caravan that got tucked up with those<<< insulting covers>>> over the windscreen and cab windows.

What do you find insulting about them Nav? Pray tell.. .

Anyway, just come back from Battle site ,and I would say a third of the pitches were taken by M/H's , and the site was full ..

...sounds about right then, for the 'in season' vanning community....

when the weather starts to get really cold (September)<<< you'll see a change for sure as all those caravans get tucked up sung for the winter......Aw, bless>>>

Don't get smug BB, lots of Motorhomes do the same. Not mine I hasten to add..

Now, dont get rude Brian 

just reflecting on the many tales of folk getting their caravans out of storage in the spring and then posting here  how their batteries etc don't work...

vans that come out in he spring usually get put to bed in the autumn....September?

yes, there will be some Motorhomes which hibernate but I'll wager that a larger percentage of caravans do it than motorhomes...

however, it matters not one jot....

im on the next plane out of Dodge.....bye....

Theres no need for caravans to have flat batteries when not being used.  If the van is in storage, take the leisure battery home and charge it up regularly, if the Caravan is at home, just plug it into a socket every so often and keep the battery topped up. ---- Simples !!!!.

Much easier to keep a motor caravan's leisure battery fully charged, every time you take it on a journey it is being charged. . Likewise it can charged from a socket at home if not using the van for some time.

It's remarkable how a casual observation and a fairly trivial question can lead to such debate!  Vans in storage, parking at home, flat batteries, windscreen covers etc......

Remember this all started when OH said that there seemed to be relatively more MHs these days and I wondered what the ratio to caravans was.

Thanks to all who have replied.  Looks like around 3:1 to 2:1 in favour of caravans.

Me rude BB???..
