Help...Remind Me Why I've Bought A Motor home!

Hi The Searles. The sun and wind came out yesterday PM and dried out everything so had a lovely walk along the canal with pub drinkypoo afterward. Moved this morning to Minchinhamton Common for another walk and lunch on board. Home now for a week before trip to Bridport Coast.

Trouble is limited parking opportunities in UK. 

depends on lots of things...from size of van....many towns have on street parking if one is prepared to walk a little, also supermarket car parks henerally have plenty of space, but again, away from the entrance......most folk wont walk more thsn a few yards....

no need to feel guilty of ypuve spent a fewquid there...

Well we have been motorhoming for the last 15yrs and love it .Cant imagine life without a Motorhome.we love the freedom and independence that it gives you .prior to motorhomes we had folding campers and caravans but we love the Motorhome way of life.we tow a little Toyota Aygo with us .We are up in Yorkshire at the moment at the Richmond Hargill House site .Dont let a bit of rain put you off what is a brilliant lifestyle hobby. Enjoyyyyyyyyyyy👍

The main thing is size though. 

For me one of the best bits of motorhoming is having the electric bike on the back. I can cycle with doggie in large basket and explore each location more. Best cycle ride was national cyckeway route 5 along the north wales coast. Dedicated bike tarmac path running along the coast..

if you're able/prepared to stroll a few hundred yards into your 'destination' there will usually be on-street parking, where most vans can get into a 'space and a half'..

...this far out, most folk would rather pay £10 at the multi-storey, leaving the outer parking more available for those, like me, who wont pay for parking on principle (ill walk miles instead) or have need of larger spaces.

its the natural way of things, however, it requires a modicum of effort

yes, our 6.4m van not as easy to park as the OH Fiat 500, but then again, we couldnt live in that for 30 weeks a year

Even if you do find somewhere to park a van (here or on continent) I always had that uncomfortable feeling as I walked away any low life would see it as a sitting target!
