Hi Fellow Funsters
We completed our 1st tour of France this week in our 2010 Autotrail Arapaho, and what a joy it was.
We upgraded in June and it was simply a real pleasure over our traded 2006 Apache 700SE which we bought last Sept and became MH newbies. A worthwile investment if you ask me, its like being a proud dad all over again
We are looking at our 2017 summer vacation and need some help/advise with campsites to accommodate our 2 young children and our 9m ALKO Chasis.
We stayed on 2 YELLOH Campsites this year, firstly we had a "Premium" pitch with 150m sq, furniture BBQ and wifi which gave us lots of room to play around the home, this really suited our requirements, however the site was quite remote and getting offsite (without having any secondary transport) required winding in the awning and negotiating some foreign towns with minor roads to be able to get to a supermarket and setting up camp again on return. The 2nd site was within reaching distance of a beach which we managed to wind up the awning again on a couple of occasions and park up in the local Aires to get some variation from the campsite.
I was quite impressed with Yelloh but its all we know so far.
Next year we want to make the vacation longer and take in France and Spain. We would especially like to hit the Mediterranean region or South West Coast, before heading to northern Spain. Being close to a beach is a must, but being a 5 tonne vehicle I found myself being aware of 3.5T limits.
Can anyone provide me with some suitable campsites, site operators that we can look into.
Many Thanks in advance
