been a while, but having fallen out of love with the caravan (well towing it), were back with a campervan, and amazingly, were coping just fine.

Joined as we love using CL Sites, and been on a couple already.

The new adventures, start here.....

Congratulations on refinding your travel mojoπŸ‘πŸ»πŸ™‚. Tugging your house behind you can be a bind I fell out with caravan hols too. The glory of campervans is you can go anywhere a car  can with ease & still have a daily drive & use it to take other forms of hols. . .Win winπŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ». Enjoy.

It must be in the blood smile. After 20 years of hotels apartments ships I m returning, and amazed, looking back , how things have changed. How much easier things are , if you want them to be. A memories discussion maybe?

Rocky , Surely go anywhere depends on the size of the Campervan ?. Whilst on holiday in Helston, Cornwall in September many of the Campervan occupants on site  didn't go anywhere just remained outside their outfits. Fortunately the weather was excellent for them, but on conversation with them it was the narrow roads put them off getting around. One lovely older couple with a much smaller outfit was out and about like the Caravaner's everyday.

Some coachbuilts and indeed my A Class are only 5cm or so wide than a PVC. That is not to say that Cornish lanes are any less challenging. They used to seem pretty tight even when driving solo in my Kuga, mostly because most grockles/emmets can't judge the width of their vehicles.

We don’t know what the OP has, CY, but if it’s a VW, it will be narrower.

Even with the same width vans, if it comes to arguing with branches sticking out of a hedge, I’d much rather have steel sides that the ali or 'plastic' of a coachbuilt.

Whatever, I’ve always maintained that a hire car is best for most folk when MH-ing in Cornwall.

Would you please include Devon in that comment, TW, as we've been down some "rather" narrow roads in that country today.laughing
