Hope you have lots of good times in your van. I had a couple of Autohomes vans in the past and found them basic, but generally reliable.
E.Hants was my old stomping ground. I stayed at the C&CC site once and felt as if I was trespassing on somebody's lawn. Hope you have better luck.

Cheers Jamiedodger. Like you, when we got a new van, we would go to local sites like the CC site at Wickham first to check things out. When the children were small we used to go down to the Witterings or Bracklesham bay. Later on we started to venture across the channel.
Now I've retired to Scotland, getting to the continent means a long drive just to get to the ferry. So, hope you have a successful weekend.

Jamiedodger, I know you had an elderly van before, but I hope you're in the AA or another similar organisation. I say that because when we got our motorhome (it was then 12 years old) it was similarly neglected (e.g. moss in the wipers) and on every trip for the next couple of years something would happen to things which were equally neglected but less visible. Alternator failed, timing belt was on upside down, brakes seized up, exhaust fell off... Having said which, we still have the same van and love it dearly: it's been well worth the dramas!
So I hope you have fun & the right kind of adventures in your new MH.
PS do check the age of your tyres -plenty of threads about old tyres. We had a blowout after the first MoT.
