Just toying with the idea of taking our Cardinal Clubman to Spain in mid January next year, for a couple of months.
I know there's plenty of sites open, but would'nt mind any help / tips preferably from any other loon that's attempted it.
Thanks in advance chaps and chapesses.

We've certainly seen some folding campers in Spain in the winter but don't really know much about them.  However, although the days will be warm it can get quite chilly at night, and of course it will be cold on the journey down.  I think it depends on how good your heating is.

Would also like to mention that Spain can be quite chilly and wet in the winter , do some research before you choose your destination . We stayed in one of the warmer areas last winter the daytime max in jan/feb was about 18 but most of the time it was a lot lower , nighttime we experienced lows down to  0.

Are your insulation and heating arrangements adequate or you could be lucky and it ends up being the warmest and driest winter for years

iwalani,

Sorry to hijack but I could not work out how to PM you on this board? You reviewd Los Madrilles and we are visiting there later this month, can you comment on the waste water facilities on the pitches... do they have them or not?

 

Thanks in advance

Thanks Ladies / Gents still thinking about it.
Have spent several winters in Southern Spain.....sadly only in those huge concrete things !
If we go we will consider our heating requirements carefully .
