I just looked at a web site for pub stopovers currently got 165 overnight pubs signed up 75 able to take RV's over 12mtrs throughout England/Scotland & Wales, membership fee £30 per annum with free stop over. As site says they are just stop overs but from what i could see is there is good food & beer available at each stop. its worth a look. Welcome to The Motorhome Stopover

I spoke to Kevin on Saturday at Peterboro, he said the website had gone live that day. I have a feeling it will be a great success, and at £30 its very good value especially with the free first night, Great for breaking long journeys, I will definitely join the scheme. Full timers could save hundreds of £ a month, in fees, but will probably have to budget fo more on beer, pie and elasticated waist trousers

What a great idea!

Many thanks, we will certainly be signing up

£30 is still quite a lot of money, it'll buy at least a gallon of diesel
Does anyone know the quality of the stopovers? I love the idea but only if they're worth stopping at.

Regards
Doug

I imagine they will vary in quality, but will all be better than a motorway service station

Hi
Just wondered how the scheme is working for those that have become members as it has been running for while now

what's your experiences been?

Here is a report that I have received just today 21/7/08 for Glen T - a member of the Big Pitch Guide.....

"Hi Dick

Hope you and Mo are as well as when I last saw you !!

Saw the advert for motorhomestopover in the Big Pitch Guide and thought it a good idea. £30 quid later I am a member - however after accessing the directory it would appear that nearly all the sites are a max size 20 foot, a very few are 35 foot - making it a bit useless for most of us.

Shame as it is a very good concept and I wrongly assumed that it would be restricted to pubs with a large car park ect.

Thought you might like to make this clear to everyone lest those with Big Uns spend £30 for nowt like wot I have !

regards

Glen"

As a direct result of Glen's report, I have not only emailed every member of the Big Pitch Guide but I have also withdrawn the 'advert' from the Guide.

This, of course, only affects RV'ers - not the majority of European motorhomes.

Thanks for the response :) we have a european but its a 29 footer so wouldnt have worked for us but such shame as its a great idea

maybe the site would consider also listing pubs with space for RV's?
