Hi. I am thinking of buying a motorhome for the 1st time. Very anxious thou that might buy one and not actually be able to get it onto my drive!!!!

 

I was looking at Lunar Telstar which is about 

Width7'9" (2.36 M)

Length19'9" (6.02 M)

Height 9'1" (2.77 M)

 

Drive entrance is 12 ft wide so in theory I guess I should be able to squeeze it in but what about turning circle of road directly outside of property? Will there be enough room to swing it round? I measured road out front of house to be about 16ft wide.

Is there a computer algorithm somewhere which i can input dimensions into to give me some reassurance?

Scared stiff of manovering a motorhome and worse still finding i can't park it!!!!! Starting to think my dream of owning/driving a motorhome might be beyond my limited driving ability :-(

I have decided I will not be beaten. If push comes to shove I assume I could place it is storage nearby :-)

Sorry to be negative but secure storage can be hard to come by and more expensive than you may think. Suggest you check that out first.

If your motorhome will be in your front garden, you may be breaching a covenant on your deeds - best have a check!

Using a storage facility approved by your insurer might be the answer. Your insurance premium might be reduced to offset the storage fees, and your 'van will be more secure when not in use; moreover, burglars will not able to tell when your away from home!!

Spoke to a lovely lady today who runs a gold rated storage centre nearby. Not too expensive so think at least for the first 6 months whilst i get used to driving it I will play it safe and store. 

Got to be cheaper than any acciident repair bills!!!
