    That moment when you realise you have a really long day ahead....been there a few times over the years. Only thing you can do is get on with it and not panic. Great video and yep chicken in a basket would have been my choice.😅

    Great videos Andy and Michelle. Really well put together with the mix of graphics and accompanying music. I've been binge-watching them to see how you get on with a motorhome in various locations. My wife and I are looking to buy one in the next few months. I did have one question...sorry if it's been asked before...do you tend to book ahead for motorhome sites or do you find you can just turn up and get a pitch? I guess it depends on avoiding favoured tourist times/seasons?

    • @ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures
      @ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures  Před rokem +1

      Hi Kevin, its great to hear you are enjoyed our channel 😀 We rarely book ahead when in Europe, instead preferring the freedom to follow the sun, the flexibility to stay as long or as short as we like and to discover new places as we travel based on recommendations as we travel. The one disadvantage is obviously when in high season sites can be full, in Europe there are lots of alternatives and the key is arrive early say between 10-12 as people are leaving, that generally works. Sites in the UK are not as flexible, they tend to want to know how long you are staying, don't allow arrivals before midday and theres not really the concept of the Aires as there is in Europe. The club sites in the UK are often full so we would book those in advance, sometimes up to a year ahead for the popular ones like Castleton / Chatsworth at Christmas. Good look with your search for a MH 😀 cheers...Andy&Michelle

    Hi guys, great video as always. I have a question for you. Do you ever find your van to be too big? Has it limited where you can go? We currently have an 8.6m tag which does, so looking to downsize to sun 7m, possibly a 143, but would love to hear about your experience please. Thank you!

    • @ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures
      @ExtremeMotorhomingAdventures  Před rokem +2

      Hi Phil, we think at 7.5m we have a good compromise between being able to get onto pitches without worrying about length but still having the space and comfort. We don't feel the need to go smaller unless we wanted to go really small to be able to park anywhere - but we have too much stuff in the garage to do that! 😀 cheers...Andy&Michelle

      @@MarkLeabon yes, would be nice to have a universal one, they do exist and cover a few but not all countries, downside is they have a monthly subscription so not worth it unless using most of the year
