The awning is a huge area that protects you from the sun or the rain. And just because the awning is a huge area, it is very susceptible to strong winds. Whenever you open the awning, secure it firmly with straps and pegs against the ground. It's best to close...

The surrounding area is beautifully landscaped. Boasting lush greenery, picturesque old villas, and well-maintained roads. Creating an atmosphere reminiscent of the English countryside but...
It took us a few years to make a clear decision to buy a motorhome. In hindsight, I can say that it was our best choice. We don't just use the 2-person motorhome for summer holidays to the seaside, we use it to go somewhere almost every weekend. Whether skiing...
I originally thought motorhome holidays were rubbish However, practical experience has shown that I wouldn't hesitate to live in one now 365. I definitely like the convenience of travelling and living in a motorhome. No long 10 hour drives to be "on site" in the evening. We are on site...

Most people go to Paris because of Ajfel and Louvre. We have not been to the Ajfel or the Louvre. We saw the Ajfel almost every day, and we've also been to the park by the Louvre about five times. The purpose of our visit to Paris was longboarding along...
These are quite common and simple rules, you will be able to follow them playfully. It's nothing special, or something that limits you. You'll gain respect from both motorhomers and non-motorhomers and you'll make friends. It doesn't make a mess I find it a bit ridiculous to write this here,...
Lisbon is such a special city. We had the feeling that there were quite a few "normal" people living in the city centre. All we saw in the center were tourists or various strange touts. Maybe we are wrong, maybe that has changed since then. In France, Spain or Italy...
I guess that's how I would define our feeling about this city. We were directly in the city, or close to it, for over two weeks. Cadiz is one of the oldest cities in Europe, the first time they ate spaghetti and ketchup there was in about 1100 BC. If...
