Hi, we bought our motorhome last October but due to family commitments have only just got around to thinking about taking it away.  It's only a small two berth van but we are very excited about going away in it.  And very apprehensive too.  We're doing a test run next weekend, to Yorkshire, just for one night.  Any tips for first timers, please?

Welcome  to  the  wonderful  world  of  C&MC,  CT  &  Motorhoming  smile

Just  don't  go  far  from  home  first  time  out--  if  you  forget  something  its  so  easy  to  pop  back  for  it  !

Remember  tho'  most  of  the  tack  you  need  is available  in  your  home,  excepting  things  like  leveling  blocks  ( Sections  of  Scaffold  board  or  similar  for  a  start )  + the  E H U Mains  lead  of  course.

As  you  get  more experienced  you will  join  the  majority  of  us  older  hands  with  a  garage / shed / spare  room  absolutely  full  of  those  wonderful  things  that  "WE  cannot  do  without",  take  with  us  once  or  twice  then  dump  !!

Have  much  fun  in  your  new  toy

Brian

P.S.  mines  only  two  berth  as  well  so  no  problems  there  --  despite  the  rumours  "Size  is  NOT  everything  "  embarassed

Hello and welcome to our wonderful hobby and CT. Great advice above, not much to add. Don't forget to ask questions on here. Probably best to start a new thread if you can't find an existing one. Would suggest bio pods Spain one for a start. Ask for help if you need some from those around you on site or the wardens if you're on a club site, most people are happy to help, we were all new once. And yes you will do something silly, we abll have and can still! And you maybe the entertainment for those around you 😉 but fear not.

Best to fill up your water tank BEFORE you arrive at your pitch and level 😆
