In France you have no problem , as it is a very motorhome friendly country. Most towns/villages have AIRES , which are for Mh , some have electric , water and emptying facilities In the super markets you can buy books which list these, but most are well signposted , You could buy ALL THe Aries...

Know how you feel! We have an over cab bed , and now use it for storage. A rear bed , thought kept made up, may still be an issue, for one of you , getting up in the night!, so don't be afraid to try out , when looking . we are coming to the end of our time of using van, but have had 10 good...

Can only reiterate what has been said. Agree with Tony re licence. Medical if you want to drive over 3500. Not really necessary , IMO . Large vans can be a problem, cost more on ferry, some sites can't accommodate them re Mh or caravan, well we almost changed to a caravan, but did not. We...

It will depend on your style of motorhoming. We only have 1 battery and have managed for 11 years!, We go on sites with hook up mainly. It also depends on what you use. If you have a microwave then you will need extra (I believe) If only lights, Tv maybe should be OK, as long as you use the...

Le Guide Officiel Camping Caravaning . It is in French, but easy to understand My copy 2014 has 6205 camps , So probably the later edition will have more Bought it from Vicarious Books Well worth having

Did you not wonder why , it was sold with only 400 miles on clock???

Don't worry about water filter. Just use tank water for everything even in kettle. We buy bottled water for drinking, but use the tank for tea/coffee, cooking, no problems Have done so in same van for 10 years, and still here!! Motorhomers have to have a different outlook to caravaners!

Well done Tony. So Gumtree worked then? May i ask how did the payment work out? we shall be selling later this year, and as not replacing van, will have to sell privately Just a bit concerned about scammers, so your views would be very welcome Thanks i hope you will have a wonderful retirement...

I think you will need a large van, for skying, as you will need to carry a lot of weight. Does your licence allow for over 3500? Payload is a big problem. You can not just load everything in . You need to stick to the allowed weight of the van 4 people, plus ski, food clothes water fuel , will...

Personaly I would not buy new, as a first timer! You will lose a lot of your money if you don't get it right The lay out you think you like may not be right in practise. Hire before you commit ,

Can't see the point in them, except easier to "tow" than a caravan. You would still have to get out of cab to get in the living section, and may not be possible until you have demounted it?? Also look expensive to purchase. No a MH much better

Well done. Enjoy your new van. BUT don't over fill, you need to watch your weight.Put just basic items in. You do not need all things you need in a house!!.

You will definitely need ramps . also most likely wheel mats for when you are on wet ground. These save a lot of hassle when , a heavy vehicle has been standing (and sinking) in wet grass.We use tent pegs to anchor them

Not quiet on your subject But the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth . had the outside lift installed by an Italian company. The tower opened in 2005 (was meant to be the Millennium) The lift is still not working!! 2017 italian engineering, as bad as French electrics!

We get FREE updates with ours. And plug it into computer, to download to TT i guess it depends what the deal was on purchase. Always found Tt very good. We had garmin when we had our boat, was Ok as a marine tool, but found Tt better on the road.
