Selling my house but want to take time to get suitable replacement.
Downsizing.   I would like to live in my motorhome 2015 RollerTeam
Anybody doing this here in Scotland, any tips, I don’t want to be paying £20 a night to park.
Need somewhere around Dundee, Angus area, close to family.
I would be grateful for any pointers.

I've certainly seen MHs parked up at Broughty Ferry by the castle, but you can't expect to stay in any one car park permanently. For one thing, unless you're by a public toilet, you'll have to pay a campsite (a fiver maybe?) once or twice a week to use their CDP, you can't just pour your toilet contents down the nearest road gully. (Well, no doubt some do but it's illegal & irresponsible). Can't dump your grey water tank on the road for the same reason - not nice for the public to walk through your toothpaste and bacon bits. The Woodlands site at Carnoustie might allow visitors - he's got a good MH service area there.
You'll need a solar panel (I'm guessing you have one) to go off grid. Or a regular overnight at a site to charge up on the EHU.
I'd also avoid parking up near a pub - very drunk folk sometimes bang on the walls of MHs as they pass & try the door handles, just for fun.

Ask around the farmimg fraternity they may allow you to park on part of their land for a fee.

No end of van life videos on youtube, if it was me I would make up a list of Club CS / CL sites in the area for recharging and using services if and when required.

Have you looked at the 365 motorhome forum, lots of advice on there.
