There are so many advantages to planning a motorhome getaway; the flexibility to explore wherever takes your fancy on any chosen day, the convenience of having your transport and accommodation all rolled into one, being so close to nature and of course, having the opportunity to unplug and shut off the rest of the world if you so wish to.
Obviously, the beauty of having a motorhome means that you can travel to pretty much anywhere in the world that your heart desires; that being said there are certain destinations that are simply ideal for ‘motorhomers’ and the lifestyle that goes with being one.
