Questions not asked?

And how about those new M/H owners who haven't bothered to join a rescue service, as it was another expense they hadn't budgeted for, along with mud mats?

Most modern vehicles can. beat the power. but non can beat the Class of car these days

A similar thing occurred on the Bromyard Downs site, where a campervan drove straight onto one of the grass pitches without checking the ground first, and became well and truly stuck.

I always send Mrs WN to stand on the pitch first. If she sinks to her knee caps I pitch elsewhere.

Wettest place we have ever pitched up was a Forestry Commission Site. Spiers House, Cropton Forest up above Levisham station on North York Moors. Everyone was axle deep. We had kept two wheels of our LR Defender on hard road, but others were yanked out by a chain and a tractor😱

Its not a camp site any more, notoriously wet. Now luxury log cabins around a bit of a holiday centre, you still don’t venture a wheel off the roads and tracks😂

Sensible option, well thought out👍🏻

My Van based camper has a different steel wheel as a spare, no problem, just make sure you have the correct wheel bolts, for it, and put them with your wheel change gear, Jack, wheelbrace.

Agree, there are many first timers out here, also many Europe tourers (ie folk who normally only tour in Europe). So have seen lots of Motorhomers filling up at normal water points instead of the M/H service points, blocking the road etc.,

And lots setting up dinner tables to eat formally outside !!  In late September ! Bit chilly folks.

Interesting to watch though. 

Us,? We are still touring Wales/Lakes/Highlands/Dunfries & Galloway, 5  weeks away  trying to put off being locked down at Home.

For soft grass pitches I carry 4 cut down old plastic bread crates, which I park on, stops the van sinking in overnight. ALWAYS check a pitch BEFORE driving onto it ! Simple really.

I've got four mud mats and it is surprising how much the wheels will sink into even a fairly firm grass pitch. Park up for four or five nights  and there will be quite an indentation that your wheels have to climb out of.

Worth having CY. We always carry some of those little Aldi mats, surprising what a help they can be. We have full on waffle boards for Winter touring, or if we know conditions are going to be testing (Wales features regular under “testing”😂) That said, we do use more HS pitches in Winter.
