As a soon-to-be motorhomer, I am slightly confused by the bit in the 2019 Handbook that gives extra information about some supermarkets, for example "Asda 4m (MH access)". I can't find anywhere that explains what criteria they have used to provide this information, and searching the site using that term comes up with nothing, so I guess it hasn't been explained here before

Posted on 25/02/2019 21:36 by TinwheelerI said I've not yet encountered an inaccessible supermarket, TT, and I've never been to Stockport. 😆

Posted on 26/02/2019 17:09 by RamblingSidYes, that's where the original question came from. What criteria do they use to make the MH access recommendation and, I guess, why isn't there a Yes or No note on all the supermarkets instead of a haphazard sometimes there is sometimes there isn't?

It obviously depends on how large your motorhome is but I don't think I would rely on the access information without making my own checks which would mainly involve using Google Earth. A panel van conversion up to six metres is likely to get in anywhere where you can park a large 4X4 but anything over 7 metres long requires a bit more research. You also need to check, especially with a longer van, that you can through park rather than all the parking bays being limited to the length of the average car.
