We have always spent many a family holiday camping; it has always been great for the kids and gives us a well earned break, the problem is the last two summers have been spent at a funky campsite at St. David's in Wales. I know this sounds crazy but every year we've been has been red hot up until now...
Usually the weathers great but this year having spent 2 hours pitching the tent in driving rain at the same time as trying to entertain a demanding 6 year, the demise of camping holidays had begun. While we were on the rain drenched campsite a smug looking family turned up in a fancy looking motorhome covered in motorhome hire decals. Having my i phone to hand (just got the i phone 4) I checked out the website of the motorhome rental company. The company in question appeared to have lots of motorhomes for hire all over the country.
Having spent the rest of the afternoon emptying our beloved home for the week (the tent) of water, I decided to go and have a chat to the smug looking family with the fancy motorhome. The smug family actually turned out to be quite decent folk; Tony gave me a guided tour and some good advice on hiring a motorhome.
The first thing that struck me was just how many facilities the motorhome had including a hob, oven, fridge and even a full blown microwave. The children did not bat an eyelid; they were too busy watching a DVD on the flat screen TV. Having seen the opulence this family was enjoying I decided to make a few phone calls....
