Just seen an advert for an up and coming program on Channel 5 called "Celebrities on 5 go motor-homing" don't know if either Club is behind this or we just have some more staff that want to make themselves look right pill****.

Although I quite enjoyed it I thought it was just a massive 'free' advert for the Caravan Club, Marquis and Wales. I certainly wouldn't want to own those 'one careful owner' ex display model vans after that road trip. I gather it must have been filmed early July in that really hot week we had followed by rain, is Wales normally that hot?

All I hope is that it doesn't inspire loads more people to buy Motorhomes, the service garages and campsites are already getting far too busy for my liking, it's starting to reduce my liking for the hobby sometimes 😊

Hoot a minute, shows you how to go down 6ft 6 lanes, how to take off you wing mirror, sorry earrings! You have to have watched it to get that one , how not to hook up and finally how to spend the night in a yurt. Glad to that the club endorsing such rubbish.

Only my opinion but what a pointless program.

All it does is give some has been's a bit of air time and income, it does nothing to get across what the hobby is actually like in the real world, I wonder if in future episodes they will deal with issues like setting up, dealing with the toilet cassette, filling and emptying the water tanks, etc, etc. I'm also not so sure the mirror stunt wasn't set up either. No damage to the outer shell and the mirror picked up didn't like it came from that housing ? I could be wrong?

Like I said, only my opinion and my comments are not intended to upset anyone who enjoyed it smile

Just goes to show though the CMHC does allow premium pitches to be reserved, it just depends who you are smile

I wonder if you and I paid for their site fees etc..  IMO it's about time that the club stopped sponsoring and boasting about this type of inane programme.

Plus one.

Maybe start really looking at the available payloads on new motorhomes and caravans?? 

Much better for their reputation than it being further dragged through the mud after a scandal or several where there have been serious accidents or prosecutions for the less wary on overweight. After all if it sleeps 4 or 6 or whatever it would be reasonable to expect to carry as a minimum that amount of passengers and their clean underwear 😲.

Watched it tonight on catch-up, forgetting the bits going down the narrow roads etc  (am sure was all set up and roads closed), have to say the places they visited were amazing of course helped by the weather also knew all the celebs so for me all in all enjoyable.
