“What it means to be part of our Club”

Hi David. Thanks for your reply.  Already done mate. Email went off yesterday. If the CMHC can’t see what they have in the enthusiasm of their members then someone else will. I’m not trying to ‘convert’ anyone but if the knowledge is not there in the first place how can people make educated choices? It amazes me, the people I meet and talk to. I don’t wish to be derogatory here but the level of ignorance about their hobby is amazing! The folk on the forums are far more knowledgeable than the average Joe. They are the ones that seek out knowledge through others and offer knowledge to others- long live the forums! 

Is Off Grid what the Motorhomers in the lay by call Wild Camping? 

Thanks Rocky- I find it so frustrating at times that the very instruments that are there for the very reason of imparting knowledge, like the Mag , are not utilised to the full. I do hope they don’t title this excuse of an article’Back to Basics’ - that would be the final insult! 

I would say so yes. Motorhome owners are becoming far more familiar with Lithium than caravanners. As ANDY from Roadpro says on the YouTube video- “For Motorhomers it’s becoming almost common”

Thank you for your feedback. Certificated Locations (CLs) are very important to both members and the Club alike. We give regular coverage to these small gems of sites in the magazine each month, not least in the 9-page main UK touring article where three CLs are featured along with four Club sites. You may also have noticed that we regularly recommend CLs as places to stay in the 'Activity Breaks’ articles. We also hope to publish a special article on CLs in a forthcoming issue of the magazine – so watch this space!

Merve, I'd disagree with ETs 'definition'....

and apart from someone having a cuppa, I've never seen a MH overnighting in a layby....why would they?

if a MHer doesn't want to use a site, there are many other, much nicer places to stopover (some expensive, some cheap, many free) without parking in a layby.....a woody glade, a seafront area yes...laybye, no thanks.

and let's face it, the U.K. has some of the nicest, cleanest, well cared for, well set back from the roads laybys in Europe....not.

You (and we) have plenty of off grid camping experience and I'm sure none of it has anything to do with laybyes...

 

I’d disagree with Andy from RoadPro’s comment. Lithium common? I’ve not heard of or met one single Motorhomer with a lithium battery. Anyone here got one in a MH?

I have them on our electric bikes and would probably look at them more seriously in place of a lead/acid leisure battery if I didn't have to alter my charging configuration.

Buying new would offer a better opportunity to change to Li.

Sorry to have to disagree with you BB (well I did agree about something the other day so just to restore the natural order of things! )  We travel frequently from home down to Cornwall, leaving home at 6 to arrive down here at 9. Several of the lay bys on the A30 have more than 1 MH parked up on them and clearly not just stopped  for a cuppa because they have those silver windscreen covers on!
