Hi there
Looking for some advice as we are trading in our caravan and want to move to a motorhome. We have a good idea of what we want in terms of storage and room, but just want a bit more insider knowledge on the following:
We have looked at a motorhome which is 5.95m in length and one that is 6.95/8 and just want to understand in the world of motorhomes if that is a big issue re parking, moving around etc. Does it make a big difference. We prefer the slightly longer model as there is a lot of storage which we feel we would need especially having a dog and an older teenager sometimes in tow. What is considered a good practical size range for motorhomes, going to the supermarket/places of interest etc?
Our reason for moving to a motorhome is not to pitch up for a week/two at the same site and stay put, but how easy is it to move around with a motorhome realistically in the size range above. We envisage moving it off pitch for the day sometimes, going to the beach etc, visiting a place of interest and returning for the evening before moving on to the next site. Is this realistic?
If we did want to stay at the same site for a longer period that didn't have public transport for instance, is it the norm to hire a car for a short time?
How easy generally is it to park the above size range of motorhome and what do we need to be aware of?
Any input would be much appreciated.
Many thanks
