We are currently semi retired but some time next year we intend to retire. When we do we are thinking of touring on a full time basis for a year or two. Does anyone know of a forum or post on these forums that has advice etc on touring FT in the UK. We'd like to know about access to GP's, repeat prescriptions, Council…
I wonder if anyone has had their new van treated with a paint seal, or similar, to keep their new van clean and prevent pitted dirt accumulating. This morning I have just washed the roof of my motorhome and it really needs to have the finish restored as I can't clean it as well as it should be. Would be interested in your…
It's the latest MH and Caravan show again soon. We'll not be buying there, but there'll be lots of vehicles and gear on show, full of every conceivable gadget and new material. Now that most people finally accept the need to improve our treatment of the environment, I wonder if potential customers would consider asking the…
Would I like to be a warden? No thanks, not after seeing what they've had to put with on site. Yesterday at least a couple of the men's showers had not been squeegeed after use and the floors were left with dried in dirty footprints, then this morning it was obvious that one of the caravanners had been violently sick in a…
Ok, as CC site prices rise ever skyward we are looking around at alternatives, and already have several nights wild camping planned for this year...... A major issue for us will be keeping the wine chilled in the fridge, (and the milk I suppose), meaning that we will need to run the fridge on gas a fair bit, and possibly…
Have just been reading that an application has been submitted to Northampton County Council for 32 timber lodges as holiday homes at Fineshade. The location in on the field facing the coffee shop and to the right of the fork where left goes to the club site. Interestingly it says other applications for this type of tourist…
Not a subject often talked about seriously. The Duke announced he is handing in his license and this seemed to be well received by the public. The time must come when an OT has to consider swapping the High powered Estate and 4 berth Tourer for a small compact Motorhome to continue active camping. Is there an unwritten…
Clarification needed please. Is it correct that fixed refillable gas tanks in motorhomers and LPG cars are 'banned from the ferries? I had a very insistent person telling me this was so and that we who have them should/could/would soon be targeted more frequently. Any truth at all?
I write this story in response to an article in the current monthly magazine. I have a 2016 Lunar Clubman SB and last year had it on the drive preparing it for a trip. The caravan had an EHU but the mains (in the caravan) was turned off. Part of the preparation involved hoovering the carpets. The wire from the hoover found…
I have read conflicting reports on the applicability (to motorhomes) of the new (2018) VED tax which levies an additional tax of £310 per year for the first 5 years of ownership on new vehicles valued at over £40,000. Specifically my question is - does this tax apply to new motorhomes costing over £40,000?
