Hi Pab51 welcome .

 You will find plenty of all kinds of help onsite. Including games, quizzes, slimming and all other manner of topics.

We used to have a smaller VW campervan but had to sell and had no intention of missing out on the old wildlife so managed to get a mobility car and now have an FC for our getting around camping life. Great,! will be off for 10 weeks from May  out of these brick walls can't wait already getting restless. But stil have along way to go yet. Still can dream though.

Enjoy it all.

  Hi pab51  join the club,had a blow out on a caravan many years ago, so we bought a motorhome but really no different,with tyres you have to check the wall of the tyres and you will see a date on them if they are five years old they will need changing,the weight of a motorhome is greater than a caravan so the walls get very weak,so make sure you check them, also you can get them filled with sealant that way at least you can feel safe,as always you will enjoy the life and meet lots of like motorhomers,dont forget to wave to us .regards H

Welcome , hope you have many happy hols in your new motorhome , you will finds lots of help on this forum it,s a brilliant place to be.

Hi, and welcome to this site and the band of Motor homers.You will see as the days go by that you will get quite a lot of replies to your question on this occasion and of any others that you may pose. It is difficult to imagine what, especially, may help you in the terms of advice. So I would sugest that you pose another question about anything specific that you may be unsure of. We areall quite happy to share our knowledge and each of us learn something new whilst reading other posts. Some far too technical for me!.At this time I would say, think about joining one of the 'clubs'...they do offer some lovely sites although I dont think any cheaper than others, and both have far too complicated booking  arrangements...bit military on that side. However the sites (I am told) are lovely. Unless you are used to travelling in Europe already, I would maybe say get used to your 'van' this years and venture further next. he clubs do offer a wealth of knowledge for going abroad. 

Decide for yourself whether you want to have a full facility site, or rely on the van for all of your cooking washing heating ....its hard to say which would be greener..gas (your own) or electric  pay for the sites

You have camped before so relax, enjoy and be free to do so....wishing you good weather and a good year ahead..
