             Welcome to our
website for motorhome enthusiasts.  
Follow our travels through Europe, the UK and the USA,
places we've stayed at and practical DIY tips and advice. 
            We use our motorhome
frequently throughout the year combining a trip to
Europe for about a month with shorter stays touring Great Britain.  
             
To share our enthusiasm we started this website about twelve years ago
as a wintertime hobby to provide useful information about our travels,
places we've discovered and sites we have visited with plenty of our
photos. We have also added write ups of our tours around California
using motels in 2010 and New England in 2012.  
            We use a mix of campsites,
preferably more basic ones, and overnight stops at official "aires"
(but definitely not on motorways!) and occasionally free or wild
camping places when we have felt it was secure. All the sites we have
visited are listed, with GPS co-ordinates for recent years.  
            We've also added pages giving
practical hints about touring Europe and tips gained from our
experiences of using our various motorhomes. 
             
We welcome feedback from our visitors and will try to answer any
questions you may have about motorcaravanning and touring. In the past
we have answered queries from Motorhomers in the UK, Australia and
Canada who are planning to visit Europe. We have also published trip
reports submitted by other motorhomers. 
             
We hope you enjoy our site and find some useful information for your
future travels!

            In
Spring 2015 we decided to change our six year old
Twin for a newer motorhome - one with more space and two single beds. We now have a Weinsberg CaraCompact
MEG600, an entry level (but well specified)
version of the Knaus Van Ti which is a compact coachbuilt just a bit
wider and longer than our panel van conversion but with plenty of
storage.  
             
A short OpenMediaVault was published in What Motorhome magazine in January 2015 
            We had an owner's
report published in MMM magazine May 2017 
             | 
              
             | 
           
          
             
We
decided to get a new
motorhome in August 2009 and still
keen to have a van conversion bought a new Adria Twin on a
Fiat
Ducato Multijet 100 with a fixed bed across the back, half dinette with
four belted seats and lots of storage space under the bed. This layout
is very popular in Europe and it has
suited us for the many trips we have enjoyed even in wet
weather.  
See here
for improvements
we've made to it.  | 
              | 
           
          
            | In 2003 we changed our
motorhome to an Autosleepers Symbol
Hi-top van conversion
on a Peugeot Boxer 1.9 turbo diesel. A typical Autosleepers panel van
layout with all facilities. Ideal for two people and small enough to
use as our only vehicle but needed a backbox for all our stuff.  | 
               | 
           
          
            | Our second motorhome was an Elddis
Eclipse coachbuilt
on a Renault Trafic 2.2L petrol
chassis. A basic compact motorhome that we found ideal for two
people, with lots of storage space but underpowered.  | 
                | 
           
          
            Our first
motorhome was a Holdsworth Romance
HTL Super hi-top conversion
on a Renault
Trafic (2L petrol). An unusual layout with a good sized kitchen area
but no rear door access.
