Why do some people wear football so with numbers and names on the back when there are much nicer shirts available?
Why do some people but coachbuilts when there are much nicer alternatives available?

Seriously though a caravan or a motorhome is a viable option for cheap housing isn't it?

With my kids and Uni I was thinking of gifting them a van.

It's cheapish accommodation.


I wish I had thought of that when my two were at Uni. I suspect my son would have hated it but my daughter is a bit of a rolling stone and would almost certainly have enjoyed herself. (y):)

We don't like sites don't feel comfortable on them much rather wild or use Aires but I would never overnight in a lay-by.
A few miles from us on Hove seafront there is a motley collection of Motorhomes, RV'& Caravans that people live full time in on a busy road not even in a lay-by, just on the main road quite unbelievable.

We often stop in a lay by when travelling a distance but never one like that. Like Jimbohorlicks we always find one with a grass verge between ourselves and the traffic.
I favour the clandestine meeting theory.

Almost a Newbie but not quite now.
Maybe someone who is working away and meets a fellow worker in their car to save his own fuel. In Holland there are any number of little parking areas for people to meet up and travel in one vehicle. Called car sharing.

Why would anyone be in the least bit interested in where someone else chooses to park?

Why would we off-site motorhomers be any more likely to know why this motorhomer stops there than anyone else?

Looks like an ok stopover for a night for me. If it has 3G and is halfway between where I was and where I am going I would kip there overnight. Big plus is it has a bin.
Lots of laybys don't. I have stopped in worse and better places than that looks. If it was on regular route for me though I would probably find somewhere a bit quieter before I got to that spot and when I got up I would then drive there for morning coffee empty bin :p.

Us fulltimers are a hardier bunch than you holiday only campers ;):whistle:

Also I would use that as a stop over for starting generator. Last place I use my genny is a place where it is quiet.
