Its the notion that you can only do this in a motorhome I find fascinating.  Its as if people with motorhomes feel that people without motorhomes are somehow not able to spend time with their family and can't possibly imagine how wonderful life is using a motorhome as a mobile beach hut.  As you say different people find different things enjoyable, there is no need to worry about people with caravans being left out.

Personally I hate sitting around on a beach, but love taking the dog for long walks along the beach when the tide is out.

I could quite happily do touring in a motorhome and one day when its just me and my wife, maybe we will.  At the moment we like to set up a caravan and tour the local area in the car.  That way suits us with taking our daughter and our grandaughter with us.  My wife is a nurse and her hours prevents us from getting away as often as we would like.  She also likes to go riding with our 8 year old daughter and worries about the horses a bit when we are away.

Perhaps if I didn't live by the seaside I would see the attraction of going to the beach in the motorhome.

I think the key is to just enjoy whatever it is you have and make the most of your chosen outfit and we just love to go off for the day in our motorhome and like a lot of you have mentioned a day out to the beach, especially when in Europe is a real pleasure.

I think if someone wishes to take their caravan along for days out like we motorhomers do then why ever not and I can't see why they shouldn't do the same as we do if that's what they want to do and It’s whatever takes your fancy as far as I am concerned? Basically it’s up to each individual at the end of the day and as far as I'm aware there’s nothing stopping a caravanner being able to enjoy the same freedom? 

Obviously, like we motorhomers - caravanners may also come across certain parking restrictions and whether they are stricter with cars and caravans I have no idea as we have never owned a caravan ourselves so I wouldn’t like to comment on that one but apart from that, I would urge you to just enjoy whatever outfit you have to its maximum and have lots of fun in it and do like we do and use whatever you have whenever you get the opportunity to - after all that’s the whole point of any kind of mobile home on wheels isn’t it?

Happy travels.
