we require advice on motorhomes. August 2009 we have rented a motorhome to travel the highlands of scotland. looking for any advice or tips to make our trip a success. look forward to hearing from anyone.

Hi Padster

My advice would be relax and enjoy yourself and dont drive by any motorhome salerooms as you might end up with one .

If you have any questions feel free to ask and you will get loads of good advice on here. Due to work commitments looks like we will be staying in Scotland this summer and hoping to go to highlands also, so if need any advice on sites or wild camping i will be researching them myself.

Good luck

Gerry

Hi

Thankyou for replying i am in the process of researching camp sites and mileage distance between areas of interest to us.We have never had a motorhome holiday before but we are looking forward to the adventure ahead of us. We are taking along 2 x teenager kids & the dog. any ideas of what to cook etc would be very helpful and would any one recommend using the toilet facilities on campsites rather than the motorhome. All these questions im sorry  

Whenever we stayed with friends in their caravan they always said the on board toilet was only for use in the night, the rest of the time we had to use to the campsite facilities. It cut down on the amount of times the toilet had to be emptied and also the amount of chemicals required.

I've just been sent a CD of photos from my relatives who live on the Black Isle north of Inverness.  Some of the places they've visited are stunning and I'm desperate to go up there and visit them.  It's as if around every corner is another stunning view.

 Most M/h are equiped with a full cooker/oven/fridgeso just cook as you would at home nothing is impossible,as said before use the site toilets and the van,s at night

 have a wonderfull time and dont miss the Bunree CC site its magical.

I would agree with Jim,  use site loos unless its the middle of the night!  We have just returned from a couple of days at Bunree, fabulous site and a good choice for a newbie
