Good choice for a first outing.Thanks Edina, it really is a beautiful part of the UK.Hi, welcome aboard
Thank Jeff, looking forward to reading all the posts.Hello and welcome to the forum
Thanks for the welcomes, having been a couple of times I'm the same would love to stay in Scotland all the time, but finances won't allow it and I'm not too sure I could cope with their winters, (I'm in between jobs at the moment) so I'll have to be content with my memories for now, I bought a bit of heather home with meHi and welcome to the forum, we thought we would be in Scotland all the time but only been once so far this year as work keeps interfering. Will be off to Scottish Anual meet next month though and staying on another week to get our heather fix
Life is a constant battle innit if you are in work it stops you going far and if you aren’t money is too tight. If I get my way house will be gone and we will become full time travellers in the new yearThanks for the welcomes, having been a couple of times I'm the same would love to stay in Scotland all the time, but finances won't allow it and I'm not too sure I could cope with their winters, (I'm in between jobs at the moment) so I'll have to be content with my memories for now, I bought a bit of heather home with me
I hope you get your wish, I've been looking at a lot of vids on full timing and would love to do this if I was on my own, much prefer wild compared to on site camping, problem with me is I don't have the confidence of giving everything up just yet, and there's a lot more questions that would need to be answered. It seems to be a lot easier to do in the USA than here, much more full timer friendly, but don't fancy moving there either.Life is a constant battle innit if you are in work it stops you going far and if you aren’t money is too tight.

Good luck with the next trip.We love our little A/S Rambler ,(Boxer SWB). Don't go getting upset because every body else's are bigger vans. It depends on whether you want to go to campsites or see the world. They can't park many of the places you can, can't use it as a second vehicle, can't drive around our Devon Lanes, and pay a fortune on ferries. We have arrived at a beach side aire at the same time as a ' Concord'. Massive, Dutch, the bigger the better! Once parked, no easy matter they spend an hour getting all the chairs and table out, fences made of multiple windbreaks, TV aerials, even fairy lights, fake plants, mats and loungers. A real home from home. Then they sit there frightened to leave it. In the meantime, we've taken the dog to the beach and seen the local sights. A couple of months ago we wildcamped on a mountain in Southern Spain, can you get up there in a big MH? Enjoy your little van!
Thanks Colosborne, I know what you mean re big motorhomes, we had a 23ft Kon Tiki before this one and it wasn't being used much, not so much it's size on the road more of the hassle getting it on and off our drive each time we wanted to use it, and very rarely did we wild in it, never seen fairy lights but did see a German camper put two real plants outside their van, miss the space though a six berth down to a two. I much prefer wild camping if I can, not really stealth but fun all the same. I think ours might be a MWB van, so does take a bit more room than a car in car parks, and is an high top so have to be careful where we park. If we do decide to stop some where for a few days we'd probably take the bike in our trailer, park up then shoot off on that. Never been abroad, not sure as I'd want to now, nearest we got to leaving our island was contemplating getting on the Arran ferry.
A month twice a year now I am jealous just re looked at my speedo and it looks like we did some 2500 miles not 2050, I couldn't afford to do that twice a year. Thanks for the welcome.
Bit of a sweeping statement there. Yes a lot of car parks are restricted with height barriers but most other stuff can be done. It’s normally width and height that limit a van more than length, remember if a bin lorry or bus can get in so can big Motorhome’s.
