subject: Why A Motorhome Holiday Could Be For You [print this page] Ever considered purchasing a permanent holiday home, but struggled to decide whether you want to be tied to one vacation destination for the rest of your life? With a motorhome, a world of vacations becomes your oyster as you take your lodgings with you on many an adventure.
Variety is the spice of life, and having a house on wheels gives holidaymakers the option of visiting limitless holiday destinations with an economy of effort and expense. The freedom that owners or renters of these vehicles experience is second to none as no destination is out of reach. Imagine setting off for your holidays without having to worry about baggage allowances, hotel hygiene and costs or post flight transfers.
Those are not the only benefits of holidaying in your own fully moveable accommodation. Being a British motorhome owner acts as something of a ticket into the caravanning community; a group that brings a unique flavour to holidaying in the United Kingdom. All of Britain's best tourist destinations have several caravan sites to choose from, and these are an ideal base from which to enjoy everything the countryside has to offer.
Sites are incredibly friendly and welcoming as a rule and often provide facilities and activities to keep the entire family occupied at very little expense. Some people may believe that caravanning is something of an outdated holiday choice, but with motorhomes consistently becoming more comfortable and spacious, there is no reason that owners shouldn't experience the countryside in comfort and style.
In actual fact, you can experience the traveller's lifestyle but with all the comforts of home in new models such as the Atessa 656 or the impressive Elddis Autoquest 180. Full cooking facilities, fridge freezer, shower and ample living and sleeping space are just some of the standard features that these motorhomes now offer. It's all a far cry from the cold and cramped caravan experience that some people still associate with caravanning holidays.
Manoeuvring these vehicles to your chosen campsite is much less hassle than one might imagine too. A standard driving licence is sufficient to drive most, and the economical and intelligent use of space within the vehicle means that their overall size is not so huge as to make them prohibitive to drive. You may even feel like a king of the road in such a grand piece of machinery.
Even if you can't afford to purchase your own motorhome, renting can prove an excellent alternative and could still see you save a considerable amount in comparison with expensive hotel or bed & breakfast costs.
