hello!

We are first timers to motorhome holidaying!

We are hiring a motorhome in October with our 3 year old...

Has anyone got any tips or advice where to go and just general help!

We are campers but this will be our first time in a motor home!

Thank you!!!

We were parked at an Autoroute Aire in France and a young couple with children in a hired motorhome sought our advice; they couldn’t get the electric kettle to work! So, the handover is REALLY important. Ask lots of questions and take notes as suggested above. With mains, 12 volts and gas it can all be a bit confusing at first for beginners.

When my wife and I changed from a trailer tent to a caravan we had a 10 year old and 3 month old daughters. Never found being cooped up with the kids a problem. laughing

First time out with our sons aged 2 and 4 years was to the New Forest. Whit weekend it rained on and off but with sunny intervals. The kids loved it, I'd taken wellies and those all in one rain suits, they splashed about in puddles once the rain had stopped. Watching all the wildlife coming out of the forest. No tv, no electrics, no heating/hot water or fridge. 

Later that year we moved to Germany and all our holidays were spent in the caravan all over Europe, the weather was better though wink

Go away and enjoy it or not, it will be an experience if nothing else.
