We are thinking of buying an arapaho or a similar sized motor home . Do fellow motor home owners have much trouble finding suitable sites?

    What do you mean by 'suitable'? Tell us what size the Arapaho is and we might be able to help. I always caution against buying a big MH as the size becomes a liability.

    I'm assuming you're a caravanner which would mean you know what sites are like. If you see MHs on site, that'll tell you something.

    8.73 Long 2.33 wide and 3.2 high. It's a big brute.

    You would have to choose your sites carefully with that size of motor home. I recommend not going above 8 meters.

    As alluded to already, particularly in BB's comprehensive reply, the pleasure for us in the motorhome as opposed to car/caravan combo we had when the kids holidayed with us is it is small enough (6.4m Autotrail) to go off exploring for the day, particularly up in Scotland, and we've got the cooker, fridge and loo etc with us making us more or less self contained for a day out....

    I would say buy the smallest motorhome you can manage with if you are going to be active in it.  Obviously if you're going to spend the winter in it in Spain then bigger may be better....
