Hi VW. Sorry to see no replies to your post so far. Maybe a similar question in New to Caravanning would help. Though I know you're Motorhoming😐. And whereabouts are you? That will help determine what recommendations might be forthcoming. I wouldn't hesitate to suggest touring Scotland, for a minimum of a fortnight. But maybe best left to Spring? My favourites are Bunree on the West Coast and Dunnet Bay, away up the top. Scenery that will take your breath away. And if you prefer getting closer to nature, try Dallachulish CL, a wee gem surrounded by amazing views.

We have really enjoyed touring the UK over a number of years, have visited many lovely places both on the mainland and then off shore on various islands. Can't think of any advice just go and enjoy your travels and try different times of the year, winter is as interesting as summer.

Welcome to the Fun Factory Bluey -- you will get loads of good advice on here ( some of it contradicting other answers, but that's due to us all being very individualistic )
Keep taking the tablets, the advice & the maps to the open roads
As for the must haves == try a couple of week-ends ( or similar !! ) close to home first then you will be able to nip home for the "OOPS I forgot them" bits that you may have in the back of the garage or shed.
The only things you really need are, in MY OPINION, the 25 yard mains lead, ditto length t.v. co-ax for sites of poor reception, and some way of putting clean drinking water into your tanks. I have a 9 foot length of food grade tubing with a simple tap connection and a nice bright red watering can..
( I maintain the w/can is for the tomatoes or similar )
When you get onto a C&MC site ask Nice Mr/Mrs Warden about the pitch markers that the Club sells. They stop those 'orrid caravanners nicking your pitch if you go off site !!

Hello and welcome.
Good advice above. Get away close to home for a night or two. You'll find you won't worry about how far from home you are 😉. But good to be able to grab a forgotten essential. Anytime of the year is great to explore, even it's day use - lovely to be able to park with facilities 😉. A good walk at the coast or through the countryside a nice warm van for a cuppa and or a meal, loo and heater. Oh yes great for watching the outside world people or wildlife.
Do ask any questions plenty of knowledge on here. Keep us posted with your trips and ENJOY.
