  • Blog 27 The Grassed Up Van (GUV), an Eco approach (maybe?) 🤔Garden centre or Hippie retreat, Your Choice

    By keef & annie, Apr 5 2012 03:43PM The Grassed Up Van The Grassed Up Van - A turf‑covered motorhome is always going to raise eyebrows, and this blog milks that glorious absurdity for all it’s worth. Meet the GUV: the only van that looks like it’s escaped from a garden centre and gone feral. Follow its adventures as it rolls around the UK handing out advice, snacks and eco‑ish vibes while pretending to be a mobile lawn. It’s quirky, green (literally) and guaranteed to make you smile — even if you’re still mowing your own drive. Whilst at the recent "small business sunday" #sbs awards event hosted by BBC's Dragons Den stalwart Theo Paphitis because Annie's biz had won back in June 2011 we came across Loving Outdoors who had also been commended by Theo plus tales of their interesting GUV van. Here's an extract from them " Award winning online outdoor retailer Loving Outdoors are heading to the hills and beyond in their distinctive new motor home. Clad in Astroturf, ‘The GUV’ or ‘Grassed Up Van’ as fans have dubbed it, will take the Loving Outdoors team to outdoor events, festivals and popular walking routes across the country where they’ll be on hand with expert outdoor advice, drinks and snacks, fun activities and plenty of chat." So why not find out more about it and where you can see it. Nice people *smile* Eco minus the fuel type obviously #COP26 What do you think of it? as a concept? and as a talking point? Have your say here, just leave a comment to get the discussion flowing. I'm sure many folk will have views. We certainly lean towards the 'green' as they say. PS We've included an alternative pic of a 'green' van , lol! #COP26 Note: The Index shows ALL blogs already published or you can find Blogs about a specific subject by clicking on a word in the TAG CLOUD, thanks, motorhome-travels.

  • Blog 31 Baltics by Motorhome, Sage advice ✅Plus Guides to Estonia, Latvia & Lithuania

    By keef & annie, Apr 15 2012 12:16PM Baltics by Motorhome A KeefH Web Designs Travel Blog Baltics by Motorhome - Inspired by an article in Practical Motorhome, this post shares why travelling the Baltics by motorhome is an appealing but less‑trodden route. With family links to Riga and past Baltic travel, the authors highlight useful tourist board resources and praise a couple who spent 450 days across 30 countries, offering valuable do’s and don’ts for motorhoming in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. A helpful starting point for planning a Baltic RV adventure. We have always had the desire to travel the Baltics by Motorhome having seen some of it via a cruise in 2004 and Keef has relatives from Riga, Latvia so imagine our surprise when we were reading our latest Practical Motorhome to come across this article. We are now totally inspired to do it sometime soon. How about you, its not the usual route, have any of our readers out there been to the Baltics by motorhome , if so please share your experiences. Some useful sites are Estonian Tourist Board Latvian Tourist Board Lithuanian Tourist Board The lovely folk who did this trip (adam & sophie) spent almost 450 days travelling thru 30 countries in their motorhome and travelled over 36k miles. We only travelled 47k miles in our year away in the southern hemisphere and thats a much bigger land mass and 12.5k across Canada which is the 2nd largest country on earth, so it shows how far they travelled. Big respect to them. If you would like to learn more about them them please visit their website. some very good advice on does and don'ts of motorhoming in the Baltics

  • Blog 33 Types of Motorhome ✅Sorry I just need to "mansplain" this, it helped us when selecting our Motorhome

    By keef & annie, Apr 25 2012 07:30PM Types of Motorhome A clear, authoritative guide to the main types of motorhomes, this blog breaks down everything from panel‑van conversions and coachbuilts to A‑Class, C‑Class, campervans, demountables, 5th wheelers, and large American RVs. It explains how each design differs in layout, build, space and practicality, helping readers understand the terminology and choose the right motorhome style for their travel needs. There are a bewildering set of types and names associated with Motorhomes / RV. We have trawled the internet and offer these types below. Clearly there will be more so feel free to add to the list via the comments below, thanks in advance for your help! Motorhome: Always a coach built and never a Campervan. Panel van conversions: These motorhomes are based on a commercial metal-panelled van, sometimes known as Campervans. Coachbuilts: Here, the manufacturer takes a chassis and cab from the commercial vehicle manufacturer, but fits their own (usually fibreglass) body to the rear. 'A' Class : A completely custom motorhome body (including cab) mounted on a chassis supplied by a truck manufacturer. Normally the most expensive motorhomes. A purpose built body with integrated cab provides the maximum spaciousness and usually includes beds which can be left permanently made up such as an over cab 'pull-down' double bed above the front seats. 'C' Class :A custom motorhome body mounted on a conventional chassis and cab supplied by a truck manufacturer, usually with a fixed in place bed or storage area over the cab, although this space can sometimes be to claustrophobic for Adults as headroom is limited and may be more suitable for children. Also known as C-Class. The manufacturer uses the chassis & cab of the base vehicle and builds a new body onto the back of it, these make up the largest proportion of motorhomes at present although A Class ownership numbers are rising fast. The part of the body extending over the cab is known as the 'over-cab' or 'Luton'. An alternative, called a 'low-profile' has a much smaller over-cab space that is used purely for cabinets & storage purposes Campervan : A smaller motorhome with either a fixed roof (high-top) or an elevating roof (pop-top / high-top). Broken down as follows:- High Top The alternative motorhome, which takes the whole of a kombi base vehicle, kits it out with an assortment of necessary fixtures and fittings and then adds standing room via a high roof. Elevating Roof: The elevating (or raised) roof motorhome also uses the equivalent kombi base vehicle to the "high top" and has a similar layout and equipment. The roof can be raised when on site to allow the use of the available standing room and then lowered for travelling and storage. Demountable / Slide-on : A demountable motorhome shell, usually with wind-up or hydraulically operated legs, installed on a Ute, truck, or flat-tray. A dual purpose motorhome, a standard 'pick-up' type vehicle with a specially made body that fits onto the pickup bed. These have the advantage that you can 'demount' the body at a campsite and then use the pickup for day trips etc. 5th Wheeler : An extension on the front of the motorhome section extends over the tow vehicle, and usually mounts onto a turntable, or "wheel" - hence the name "5th Wheeler" RV (Recreational Vehicles): These are the huge American equivalents to their European cousins. Usually much larger in almost all dimensions. Some have accompanying pop outs / slide outs (Hydraulically operated sections of the motorhome that expand) which allow for increasing living space when the vehicle is on site / stopped. I'm sure they are more! but those are the ones that immediately come to mind. #vanswelove

For experienced travellers, the pin board acts as a source of fresh ideas. It sparks inspiration for future trips, highlights destinations they may not have considered and showcases creative solutions from fellow enthusiasts.

  • Blog 36 Sites we like - no 4, motorhome, Rv & Campervan photos ✅

    By keef & annie, May 28 2012 08:36AM Motorhome Rv Campervan photos Came across this great Motorhome, RV & Campervan photos which is very similar to our pin board and shows a huge number of images of all types of motorhome Motorhome Rv Campervan photos - Discover why this Motorhome, RV and Campervan Photos site earns a spot in our “Sites We Like” series. This blog celebrates brilliant travel photography, real‑world motorhome moments and the kind of visual inspiration that sparks new adventures. A search‑friendly shout‑out to a site packed with campsite scenes, road‑trip views and creative ideas for anyone who loves life on the road. Sadly by 2020 it had gone but something very similar is this, TRY IT Let us know if there are sites you would like to recommend, thanks sites we like no 4, sadly gone by 2020 Why PHOTOS? Photographs are one of the most valuable resources a motorhome traveller can share. They turn abstract descriptions into something real, relatable and instantly useful. When people are planning trips, researching campsites or trying to understand how a layout works in everyday life, photos give them the clarity that words alone can’t always provide. A single image of a pitch, a tight entrance, a scenic view or a clever storage solution can answer questions that would otherwise take paragraphs to explain. Photos also help travellers make confident decisions. Seeing a campsite’s facilities, the spacing between pitches, the condition of the roads, or the surrounding landscape helps people judge whether a location suits their needs. For newcomers, especially, visual reassurance reduces uncertainty and makes the idea of travelling by motorhome feel more achievable. It’s easier to imagine yourself somewhere when you can actually see it. Practical photos are equally important. Images of repairs, upgrades, DIY fixes, levelling solutions, awning setups or interior layouts give other motorhomers real‑world examples they can learn from. They show what works, what doesn’t, and how different people solve common problems. This kind of shared knowledge strengthens the whole community. There’s also an emotional side. Travel photos inspire. They spark ideas, encourage exploration and remind people why motorhome life is so rewarding. A picture of a quiet sunrise, a dramatic coastline or a perfectly placed pitch can motivate someone to try a new route or revisit a favourite region. Finally, photos build trust. When travellers share honest, unfiltered images — not brochure shots — it creates a sense of authenticity. People know they’re seeing the real experience, not a polished version. In short, motorhome photos educate, inspire and connect travellers, making every journey a little easier and every adventure a little richer.

  • Blog 41 Lincolnshire trip No 1, Lakeside Park, North Somercotes, free as part of our van sale agreement

    By keef & annie, Jul 18 2012 04:58PM Lakeside Park, North Somercotes A KeefH Web Designs Travel Blog Lincolnshire, Motorhome trip No4 : July 9th -16th 2012 NOTTS->NORTH SOMERCOTES, LINCOLNSHIRE->NOTTS 360 miles Enjoy a classic Lincolnshire motorhome break at Lakeside Park in North Somercotes, where big skies, calm lakes and our talent for gentle mischief meet. This blog dives into the campsite, the coast, the walks and the simple joy of touring this peaceful corner of Lincolnshire. A fun, search‑friendly look at why North Somercotes makes the perfect base for relaxed UK motorhome adventures. As we were offered 2 free weeks holiday by Don Amott's (apart from paying for electric hook-up and entertainments) when we bought our motorhome from them who are we to refuse? So we decided to take the 1st week at their Lakeside Park Holiday park in North Somercotes. All their parks are in Lincolnshire, not normally a place we would chose to visit for obvious reasons that will become clear later in this blog. Lakeside is the only one of the 5 that caters for tourers, the rest seem to be entirely about static caravans! So we packed up and set off in the usual UK s(b)ummer 2012 of thunder/ lightening and torrential rain which lasted all the way there and beyond. We had 3 super pitches whilst there for a week 77,42 & 47 mostly to accommodate our wishes but to satisfy weekend family camping. It is a very classy site and good for a short holiday with lots to do: golf, footie, tennis, boule, outdoor lawn bowls, sauna, steam room, fishing, exercise equipment plus a restaurant, pub, snooker room/Wi-Fi, shop, launderette, café, nightclub(?) with dance floor and disco. Note the pub sells Tom Wood Lincs real ale but the best I found was Summer Swallow by Batemans , a great pint! For those of my family who remember a bit like Potters for motorhomes! Plus despite the rather bad weather and outlook we got 3.5 days of very hot and bright sunshine in 7 , not bad for a British summer and we both look a little brown and sunburnt, yippee! We did go out and about a few days but here’s the rub… Grimsby, Cleethorpes, Mabelthorpe, Chapel St Leonards, Ingoldsmells & Skeggie are not our cup of tea, but having said that North Somercotes itself is lovely, great walks and Saltfleetby & Theddlethorpe beach and dunes are spectacular and deserted. Louth centre and Afford are also interesting & very old towns. Plus we visited the NT house and gardens at Gunby Hall. Gunby is the site of a medieval town that was killed off by migrant workers bringing in the Black Plague into Lincolnshire in 1300s (I think). The gardens are lovely and the head gardener is a nice man who gave us a wealth of info. Besides gardening for England he is on the ‘talking’ team *smile* So all in all we had a nice week away and look forward to our 2nd free week there later in the year to try out the lovely Indian restaurant in North Somercotes. We did read a lot of books and generally chill whilst here as a lot to do on site if the weather is good! The pool when not! Our second trip was Blog 48 our first trip to the leisure park, courtesy of us purchasing wendy housed 36 Photos available in the SLIDESHOW appleby's famous ice cream, cornisholme, lincs, love it! #icecream #trythewebsite appleby's can be found HERE

  • Blog 42 Ties for Wheel Trims, Now just how often have I had to use these, long ones best, but recently I've reverted to wire

    By keef & annie, Jul 29 2012 08:14AM Ties for Wheel Trims Having been away recently and rather frustratingly lost a wheel trim in transit I decided to use the plastic cable ties you can get on eBay to secure my new wheel trims. Discover the surprisingly essential world of wheel‑trim ties — the tiny heroes that stop your motorhome trims flying off halfway down the A1. This blog explains why they matter, how to fit them, and the laughs we had learning the hard way. A practical, tongue‑in‑cheek guide for motorhome owners who want secure wheel trims, fewer roadside rescues and a smoother, smarter ride. The wheel trims are quite costly and if you lose one trim it is often very difficult to get an exact match so you often end up have to get a costly set of 4. So for £1 for a pack of 100 ties its a no brainer. I even managed to get a matching colour between tie & trim so the tie is almost visually invisible. I decided to tie them up top and bottom as well just in case (heaven forbid) that in the future I clip a kerb or something. Could save you some money in the future! UPDATE Nov 2012 I think I have now replaced all 4 at least once #naughtyboy I often but them on eBay in batches of 2 or 4, cheaper #justathought The INDEX page has TAGs for all Blogs and by year or month, A-Z INDEX alphabetically or just using the LETTERs in the Tag maps, or you can use the SEARCH page to look for something or just use the search facilities here on the BLOG or the associated Blogs attached to each Blog, entirely up to you, there is a wealth of ways to find what you want, thanks for looking motorhome-travel blog

  • Blog 45 Swaffham, Norfolk, Breckland Meadows Campsite, down the road from the fab Pentney Park

    By keef & annie, Aug 20 2012 08:35AM Breckland Meadows Campsite A KeefH Web Designs Travel Blog Norfolk, Motorhome trip No5 : August 17th -19th 2012 NOTTS->SWAFFHAM,NORFOLK->NOTTS 200 miles Join us for a Norfolk escape at Breckland Meadows Campsite in Swaffham, where peaceful pitches, big skies and our talent for mild misadventure collide. This blog covers the site, the town, the walks, the wildlife and the “relaxing break” that somehow involved snacks, naps and questionable navigation. A fun, honest look at touring Norfolk and discovering why Swaffham is a brilliant motorhome stop. The warmest weekend of the year, so far. Up in the 30’s C. Lovely stuff and a great weekend with our dear pals Pete & Joy. We have a yearly camping jaunt away with them and have done so since both our sets of children were very young, usually somewhere equidistant from each of our homes so often in the Norfolk, Oxford, Cambridge , Suffolk sort of areas. This year if was Swaffham. We have been to Pentney Park just down the road in years past but as it was school summer holidays we opted for Breckland Meadows ADULT only campsite. They are a great idea for (sorry) some peace and quiet or it seems if you have a dog. Not the greatest site we have ever stayed at , as rather small pitches and facilities that may need an upgrade, but perfectly acceptable for a long weekend and cheap with very very friendly staff! We mostly spent a relaxing time at the site as such superb weather chillin’ via eating, drinking ,reading and jawing, great to catch up 😉 but we did take a walk into town along the old railway track which was very shady (about 30 mins) past the Eco Centre with Wind Turbine, 300 steps to the top, but just too hot for that so gave it a miss. The town centre itself is lovely and has 6 pubs and a bandstand and a Saturday market plus the (supposedly) 5th best fish and chip shop in England. Pub-wise we settled on the Kings Arm’s , a lovely old coaching inn , great beers, friendly staff and beer garden. We liked it so much we went back for Sunday lunch! The town sign is also just so English! Take a look, Swaffham is well worth a visit if you have not been there. Already looking forward to next year’s trip. chillin' in the sun, breckland meadows campsite, norfolk 11 Photos available in the SLIDESHOW #friends #motorhometravelsblog #motorhome #camping

From lakeside wanders to cottage comforts, this blog captures the fun, the food, the scenery and the glorious madness of a proper Cumbria family getaway. Didn’t take the motorhome this time as stayed at wonderful Glenholm cottage on Penrith Road near to Fitz Park on the Greta River. Went with Craig, Leanne & Bill and had the most wonderful weather and time, food and company for the whole week. Visited Bassenthwaite, Thirlmere, Ullswater, Coniston and Tarn Hows as well as had some lovely walks including start of White Horse Bent, Scales, scene of some wonderful memories. Nice pub food in both Horse & Farrier, Threlkeld and White Horse Inn, Scales oh as well as seeing some great Paralympians…. We met up with Mandy and Colin (and Libby) for lunch one day, lovely to see them, finally got to visit them in their house in Oxen Park near Ulverston see Blog 152 on our trip when the van engine gave up. Will definitely bring the campervan back to this area, just so beautiful. There is a great site we spied near Threlkeld.
