Panel van conversion

I bought my first motorhome just over a year ago, choosing a panel van conversion well suited to wild camping all year round. It's great as a base for outdoor activities. I've spent 77 nights in it so far, less than a third on campsites, while travelling around Scotland and some other parts of the UK (will head abroad in 2017).

Sometimes I travel with my partner, but more often alone or just with our dog. Britstops is a brilliant scheme as it gives much more freedom in where to stop, so I only need to visit campsites for fresh water and disposal (unless they are in a particularly attractive location where I want to stop overnight). It's particularly useful in more highly populated England where I've often found it hard to find anywhere suitable to wild camp.

Looking forward to learning from others' experience on here.

I'm a newbie to here as well. BritStops was recommended to me, but the 2016 edition has sold out and there's nothing until next Feb. In the meantime I've subscribed to Motorhome Stopover which seems similar, which has nearly 500 sites in England, but only 14 sites in Scotland. Some of the sites in Motorhome Stopover have free grey and black disposal and water filling facilities.

I've toured Orkney and the Outer Hebrides a couple of times on my motorbike, and can't wait to do the same in the motorhome

That's a shame iLondoner, but at least it's not too long to wait until the new addition. You've reminded me I'd better buy the 2017 book as soon as it comes out.
