Crossing to ‘The Dark Side’

I don't think the OP was asking for a comparison JVB

It's called value added Brue when somebody gets more than they asked for with no additional charge. 

Could also be named Fred Drift I suppose 

Yes but, no but...and then I was cut off anyway with a server error. 

Just "adviseing" 

I think the best advice I could give anyone looking to move from caravan to MH, is sit down, think about where you plan to holiday the most, and how you want to holiday.

If it’s on the continent, you might get away with a larger MH, as it’s a huge area with the MH culture embedded, or certainly it reads to be the case from those who do it on a regular basis. Small cheap sites, sites in towns, big open roads with less traffic.

If you want to tour primarily in UK, then it’s a trade off between comfort and convenience. Smaller means you don’t have to rely upon public transport or your own walking/cycling capabilities. We have never failed to find somewhere to park up our MH in town anywhere. We use it for days out, pulling in at some gorgeous spots with ease. We don’t need to tow a car or rely on public transport. We have less space than in van, but still have a comfy bed, a great little kitchen, room to sit and read etc..... our compromise is bathroom, but we only spend 10 minutes per day showering in there if we are on a CL etc.....It’s still a great little bathroom, we stay on no facility sites usually.😃

Choosing the overall size of MH/campervan is critical, as is layout. It’s a very individual thing. Coming at it from a small caravan, we didn’t make a mistake luckily.

I'm now using the largest PVC I've ever had !!  5:41m  ( aka 17ft 10 )  so  they  are  'livable'  at  that  size  or  even  less.

As  for  turning  to  the  "Dark  Side",  I  would -- but  a  full  head and  beard  of  pure  white  does  take  some  dyeing

Returning to the on/off site discourse....  Mostly we seldom stay more than three or four days and there is generally sufficient to occupy us on foot/bike in that time. We do, however, also go 'out for the day' which also gives us the opportunity to replenish/empty tanks at the same time. We do use the MH for 'picnic days' when not actually on our travels. The other difference between the MH and when we had the caravan is the tendency to visit places 'en route'.

Spot on CY. Every day, including the travel ones are now “doing days”. We have done similar in caravan but usually phone re car parking situation ahead. Our MH has the same layout as our caravan, purely coincidental. But no bay window of course. Plenty of storage space though. 13ft caravan, 5.5 metre MH.
