Dont get me wrong I quite like motorhomes but as yet have not been tempted away from caravans. However I have noticed several trends over the past year or so in the way motorhomes are used.
It seems that wild motorcaravanning is on the increase especially in Europe. You find hundreds of motorhomes parked up in car parks, along beach roads etc. It seems the name of the game is to go where you please and pay nothing. This may seem a good bargain but I think it could impact on us caravanners who normally stay and pay on campsites. I certainly prefer the security of a good site and the facilities that the site offers as opposed to staying in a car park with all the risks.
Butwhat could be the effect if motor homes stop using campsites, would the costs go up to us users ?
I have also observed several motor homes pulling into a lay-by and dumping there grey waste and god knows what else. I have even seen motorhomes driving along whilst dumping waste.
On a recent visit to the south of France we visited the beach of Sete and virtually the whole length of the beach had motorhomes parked along it, not just for one or two nights but some had been there weeks - the whole place stank !
Just wondered what your views might be
