Help in changing from caravan to motorhome

As per one of OP's points, is setting up a caravan so much worse than a MH?  Once you have the hang of reversing the van onto the pitch, its about the same, isn't it?

After 30 years caravanning I changed to a motorhome last October.  It is much easier to set up and pack up.  No water barrel to fill, no wastemaster to put in place, no steddies to wind down. No having to put up with congratulations from old men astonished that I could reverse a caravan.

Motorhome Arrival Sequence:

Handbreak On.

Engine Off.

Kettle On / Wine Open.

The End

Do not MH's require an element of levelling in the same manner as caravans or are they immune to non-draining showers, beds where the blood rushes to your head and temperamental fridges?

Write your comments here...What make is your magic motorhome as all the ones I looked at needed water in the tanks (also needed emptying) and generally on a site EHU, Oh and as CY says they need to be level or do you only camp in car parks?

Yet again on these forums a lighthearted comment is met by sarcasm.

As it happens my motorhome is self levelling and self sufficient on water and power for a good number of days .  Some might say that's 'magic' but personally I wouldn't.

If I was on a club site with EHU of course I'd use it, but there's a big wide world of CL type basic sites where my comments stand.

Michael,  the  above  list  is  MY  list  !!

The  o/h  is  now  charging  round  like  a  B/A/F  getting  everything  arranged  to  my  satisfaction  !!

To  be  fair,  MichaelT,  many  m/homers   empty  and / or  fill  up  on  their  arrival  on  site  either  after  booking  in  or  on  returning  after  a  day  out.

Write your comments here...Agreed but from some popeles comments they try to make out its so easy but in effect it is no different to a caravan, needs filling and emtying, maybe not so foten but has to be done all teh same.  Same as packing up and leaving site, in our caravan we used to pack the  stuff for home in the car when we left site, when we get the M/H we will ahve to do this at teh storage compound so leaving site will be quicker once we stop to empty  tanks, but leaving storage will take longer, overall very little saving in time.
