    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!

    Our Motorhomes
    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
    OpenMediaVault

    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.
    Adria Twin
    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.
