Hi

I'm new to campervans and motorhomes last year and have been asking the question about the difference generally between motorhome folk and caravanners? Obviously a hugely loaded generalisation but would love to hear your thoughts on both?

A few years back we were in a serious financial mire and thought we would have to sell the motorhome before it was repossessed.....bloody recession :Angry:

i had it all worked out.

at the time i had a Toyota Hilux pickup and figured if i put up the drive-away awning and reversed up to it i could kip in the back of the pickup and still have a private area in the awning.

there's always a 'work-around' if your desperate.


as it happens we didn't have to sell the van at that time....but the pickup had to go instead :cry:

There is no difference, we all love camping whether in a tent, caravan or motorhome.. although the purist would argue that it's not 'camping' unless under canvas..

Many, including myself have been campers, caravaners and motorhomers.. just what ever suited our circumstances at that particular point in time and what we wanted to do.. at present we are tuggers..

If you look for differences you will find them.... if you don't ..you won't.

its funny how life goes, we started off with an ex army tent, then a family tent, then a trailer tent, then a caravan and now an old boxer converted campervan.

There were reasons for all the changes but the biggest one was from caravan to campervan, mainly due to going nearly 400 miles tugging a van behind to visit our son for the last 2 years.

We look at it as:
Caravan
advantage:
You can leave on site
Disadvantage
tugging it

Campervan
advantage
Just jump in and go
no tugging
Disadvantage
tax and insurance
mpg

We bought a secondhand drive away awning and at least we dont loose our parking space on sites

Who knows where we will go next!
